Hunter in his stand makes eye contact one afternoon in Ellington
The witness was bow hunting from a tree stand overlooking a pond, hollow and log road when the woods went quiet. A large dark figure walked down the opposite side of the hollow, stopped, stepped back and stared at the witness for 15-20 seconds before continuing down the ridge and disappearing. After climbing down at dark, the witness checked the spot and concluded the height over the underbrush ruled out a human, then told his son who had been hunting separately.
