Possible vocalizations and an approach to a residence outside Gainesville

Hunter in a ghillie suit on Pine Mountain has a close encounter

A deer hunter in scent-masking clothes and a ghillie suit was set up on a rock overlooking a saddle at daybreak. A large dark ape-like animal threw a stick that landed behind him, then charged after he shouted and pointed his muzzleloader. He fired in front of it to deter it; it stopped, stood, grunted, and a smaller one emerged crying before both left. He abandoned his gear and found it ransacked the next day.

Possible sighting and howls heard by deer hunters in John Muir Wilderness
