Pre-dawn whoops and movement heard near Prince Galitzin State Park
The witness was sitting alone in a deer stand in very dark, rainy conditions before dawn when a musky odor was present.

He stayed in the stand and noticed the odor was gone after sunrise.
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.
Hunters hear loud vocalization and breaking branches
Two brothers were sitting by a campfire in front of their hunting cabin at night when they heard loud screaming and branches breaking about 25-30 yards away in thick woods. After lasting from about 30 seconds to several minutes they retreated to the cabin and their father came outside and also heard the sounds. The source stayed in the woods just outside the cabin floodlights, and deep grunting or breathing was heard after the thrashing stopped.

Hunter/police officer hears late afternoon vocalizations and breaking branches near Clearfield
While deer hunting alone in a snow-covered valley in 1993, the witness heard a deep repeated belch-like sound approach rapidly to the ridge above him. At dusk the sound stopped and something unseen in the treeline broke branches and moved back and forth for about ten minutes while the witness waited with a rifle. The witness then hiked out to his father, who said he had also heard the distant sound, and the party left for the vehicle.
Youth watches while bipedal creature pushes down trees
The witness was exploring woods near the house in the early evening.
