Witness spots legs of a large bipedal creature from a distance of 100 feet

The witness was standing across a creek from woods with a dog when they noticed a bipedal creature from the waist down about 100 feet away. The visible legs were described as stocky, straight, and covered in long golden reddish brown hair. The creature turned slowly, took a few steps, and disappeared into underbrush without making noise, unnoticed by the dog.
