Witness Account:
I was checking out this area in North Hopkins where I have hunted in the past wasn't sure if it was still available to hunt. When I noticed 3 ape like creatures out in a field together. I stopped my vehicle looked at them through binoculars and noticed a large male with genitalia. I could make out his chest mucsles like a gorilla. Its head was shaped like that of a gorilla. Large legs but I couldnt tell how tall it was except much taller than me. It hair was darkish brown. The 2nd was sitting down indian style back towards me but was darker. I think she was female. 3rd was a juvenile standing up playing with a long stick in its hand. It was more like a monkey that could stand upright. I watched them from a good distance for more than 15mins. finally I left in awe. I was kinda shocked told my family I seen some apelike creatures in the woods.
Physical evidence:
I havent visited that area in a very long time and would be happy to show were I spotted them. I have seen and heard other signs but did not put it all toghther as being bigfoot evidence.
Sounds:
They made no sounds while I watched this family.
Additional observations:
It was just unusual to see them out in the open where I seen them.
