Possible daylight sighting of a juvenile sasquatch on all fours by a deer hunter near Axson

While driving on dirt roads through planted pines to a hunting stand in daylight, the witness saw a black hairy animal on all fours emerge from the woods. From about 50 feet he watched for about 10 seconds as it loped down the road with an uneven back motion and then disappeared into the woods on the other side. He noted thin legs with longer rear legs, no visible tail or ears, and a head held low, which did not match a bear or loose cow to him.
