Witness Account:
Was packing up from a fishing trip when I saw something black in the road. At first I thought it was just a loose cow and went back to packing up , then I looked again and it was closer and then I noticed something, it wasn't a cow. Then it turned sideways and took a step, that's when I yelled to my friends, what the hell is that, and pointed at it. Then it paused for a second, and looked at me, then took off running and jumped the barbed wire fence, and ran in to the woods. Then I ran over there to try and get a better look, and I could hear it running thru the woods, and I focused on where the sound was coming from and saw it pass by in a opening in the woods,and then it was gone.
Sounds:
no sound
Additional observations:
Not very tall 5 or 6 foot, but wide, wider than a cow. Mabe it smelled my fish or mabe it was curious,we also had a puppy with us. We were being loud, laughing and talking.
