A man gathering firewood for his campsite with his ATV encounters a large ape-like animal in a creek bed

While camping, the witness rode an ATV to the back of a farm to gather firewood and noticed a strong odor near a creek. There they saw a large ape- or bear-like creature in a squatting position that made eye contact for about 30 seconds before jumping up an 8-foot bank and running away. The witness returned to camp, then revisited the site with a companion that evening and again the next morning, but flooding prevented finding footprints.
