Animal behaviour in Pennsylvania (2005)

The witness was deer hunting on a friend's wooded property in Pennsylvania during buck season in 2005. From a ridge he watched a single hairy biped for about 10 to 12 minutes as it broke a small pine tree, investigated the stump, and appeared to eat ants from a rotten stump. The creature sniffed the air, showed no aggression, then walked away apparently unaware of the witness. The witness noted an apparent left arm injury and described the animal as about his own height, thin, and more human-like than expected.

After the witness honked, it reportedly screamed again and ran into the trees.

Two companions were sitting on the porch of a rarely used hunting cabin at night after a noisy day of target shooting.
