Witness Account:
It was a nearly full moon night. Me,my 8 yr. old daughter and my 13 yr. old stepson went varmit hunting about 200 yds. behind our house. we set up the remote control call about 40 to 50 yrs in front of us in a open pasture. we positioned ourselves in a corner of the field with cedar trees as a backdrop. We were armed with a single shot 20 guage.We also had a very powerful spot light.We started calling around 10:00 at night.The moon was producing alot of light so visibility was good for nighttime. The first call a fox ran out of the cedar lined fence row immediatly. I was able to identify it without the aid of a spotlight,but we did'nt shoot because there are not alot of foxes in my area. We called several more times in the next 2 hours but with no luck . I told the kids we would call 1 more time and then go home if nothing showed up.We pressed the button on the call , it started with it's distressed rabbit scream, which last's about 10 sec. The instant the call stopped a large figure stepped out of the tree line about 75 yds from us. It proceded to walk across the pasture in front of us at a very high rate of speed. It was not running but taking very long strides very quickly.We watched it for about 15 sec. as it cut across the corner we were sitting in. As it passed in front of us it got within about 50 yds. I did'nt shine the spotlight on it because I was afraid for my children and my safety.When we could no longer see it,I got my kids up and made a beeline for the house.
