Early dawn sighting by hunters near Bass Lake

Two hunters waited in a parked truck below a ridge at dawn hoping for deer. They watched a dark figure dig in brush for about 30 minutes then walk toward them. At about 50 yards they concluded it was not a man but a large black-furred biped. When a truck door latch sounded it looked then ran behind a tree and was gone when approached.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
