Evening worker hears vocalizations, smells strong odor in Big Thicket

The witness was walking down a dirt road on company property in deep woods when he heard rustling in brush about thirty yards away and smelled a strong skunk-like odor.

He did not see the source and first considered wild hogs before later considering something unidentified.

After finishing a long work shift, the witness was driving north on Highway 259 in the early morning.

Shots were allegedly fired at the creature without apparent effect.
