Man recounts his possible daytime sighting while bowhunting near Crestview

The witness was bowhunting alone from a tree stand overlooking a field in autumn. About 2000 feet away across the field, a very large bipedal figure emerged from the woods, passed in front of a large oak tree, and reentered the woods over about a minute. Its dark appearance and arm-swinging walk reminded the witness of well-known Bigfoot footage. No sound was heard at that distance, and the site could not be checked until after dark.
