While scouting for deer, a man was hiking the wooded area hoping to photograph deer. He sat down on a fallen log when he began to hear branches breaking. He saw what he first thought was a bear I focused in on what I first thought was a bear walking along the stream. But then I saw it was walking upright and swinging its arms while it walked. The creature was very tall, hunched over...dark brown, long arms, big steps guessing it weighed over 300-400 lbs.
