Witness Account:
We were driving out to our deer camp the friday before opening day weekend ans as we passed a pipeline, looking west towards the sun setting direction, we noticed a large animal racing across from one side of the pipeline to another, coming from the right side headed to the left side. We stopped and started to observe. Since we were traveling out of the road, headed to the main hwy, we turned around to see if it would come out again. As we passed the second time, the passenger now facing the west side of the pipeline, the animal again was galluping from the right side toward the left side, but in this case he seemed to be closer to us. So then we continued down the road to turn around again, now the driver once again was facing the west side, the creature started to come out from the left side of the pipeline, stopped, stood up on 2 legs, and began to walk really fast towards our vehicle. This time he started out alot closer to the gate of the pipeline. The animal must had been sprinting towards us in the meantime while we were turning around because he was a good 100 yards closer and headed towards us, on 2 legs, and fast.
