Witness Account:
I was fishing with my dad at six mile creek on Toledo Bend. The lake was low that summer, so the creek was about all you could follow. We had made our way back in the creek with the troll motor. The grass around the creek was prob 4 ft high so we could not see on either side. We approached a little arm that was feeding the creek and passed it up. We prob went another 30 yards and turned around it was getting a little narrow for both of us to throw. As we approached the the arm on the return we both heard an loud human voice say YAK. My dad ask me what the hell was that. We had only seen one other boat back there and they were leaving out prob an hour to hour and a half before us. As soon as we heard the voice I witnessed a coyote running off with a duck. He disappeared in the tall grass and out of the corner of my eye running up the hill was a figure on two legs running to a group of pines as the figure got to the second are third pine it stepped behind the pine and stuck its head out and looked at us. I did not see a snout like a deer or dog it had a flat face it was brown in color and as it was running you could see the features of a very closely resembling human butt. We were prob 150 yds maybe. It happened really fast. We did not go up the arm to investigate because the arm was too shallow. It really spooked us both us. We did go back a few times but nothing happened.
Physical evidence:
The voice we heard that said yak sounded kinda ticked off. We have talked about the incident a few times and the only conclusion we came to is the creature we saw was mad because the coyote got to the duck before it did then it seen us come back in sight of creek arm and that's when it ran.
