Number of Witnesses: both times hunting in fall and winter i had buddies with me,
at least 2 of them saw what i saw, turkey season when we chased it with dogs i was alone then went and got my friend bob and he was with me at night when we got the dogs back and found the nests and broken trees way up high, that was last may.
Length of Observation: first time it was near branch pond, it was maybe 10 seconds, maybe even
less, second time was turkey seaosn i saw it for as long as it took to cross the highway, so maybe 1 or 2 seconds it was running and crossed that 2 lane road with shoulders on both sides of it and a good 10 yards of grass on each side before trees and i dont think it took 8 steps, lunges and it was across and in teh trees again last sunday i saw it real good, i’d say 3 seconds of staring at each other and then another 4 seconds of it walking away it was at 63 yards i know because i measured it with my buddys laser distance thing
Animal Description: first one was jet black, i thought it was a dead moose at first it was darker than a moose but had longish hari like a moose but not as stiff looking, like halfway between bear fur and moose fur? like that, it was a ball, and was the size of a really huge bear or a small moose , when it heard me it stood up, had a dark face, kinda flat, it had brown eyes i could see them clearly, it had less hair on its face but the skin was dark it had a huge butt, I mean huge, like it was wearing two big oversized fanny packs there was something weird about teh hands but i dont know what. something looked wrong. the feet i didnt see good but when it moved away it did it on two legs and fast, i want to say the soles were lighter than the rest of it but i cant be sure, i know they were not black because i could see them . the second one was very tall, looked thin for its height and was more a brown color thats all i can say on that one the one sunday was jet jet black and almost looked like it was deciding if it was going to leave or come after me, it had very dark eyes and i could not see anything but its nostrils and eyes real good it was very bright out and the sun off the snow i think screwed up my eyes as much as it did his. everyone says it sounds gay but i saw what i saw and this thing was a good 7 feet tall and had an erection. no i am not kidding or screwing around. it had an erection i dont know why or what to tell you but that is what it was. i didnt pay real attention to the rest of it because my mind was saying why do i keep running into these thigns for one and two is this thing going to attack cause i really got the feeling it was thinking about it.
Aprox. Height: 7 to 9 feet tall
Aprox. Weight: 250 to 400, one was real thin the other two were a good 400 pound animal, not fat and i hunt with guys that are 6’4″ and 260 and 6’8″ and 360 so I know what size is what when i look at something, these animals are whatever they are are taller than my hunting buddies by FEET and are not as big around as they are, they are slim for their height but well built.
Head/Facial Description: if i close my eyes i can see the eyebrows real clear, the eyes and the
nostrils the head is not really egg shaped it is tapered top and bottom but about the same amount, you knwo how a human head is wider at the top then the chin? not like that, the chin is about as wide as the top of the head? am i making sense when i say that, it is not square but more square then a human head. i have never seen ears on these things but some i can see the eyes real well others not, the skin is different shades one to the other, maybe like peopel, one was real dark, one was darker than the hair covering it and one was much darker than teh hair ir had, there is alot of hair on the face, more than a picture of a chimpanzee but less than a man wiuth a big full beard? im not describing it good but when this looks at you you KNOW that it sees you and knows what you are, its not like when a turkey sees you and kinda watches you for movement, but like when you see another person and they are looking at you and THINKING about what they are seeing. i dont know maybe they cant believe what they are seeing either. I can see the cheeks good but not the lips, one time i saw the nostrils real well they were big but not like a gorilla big, the main thing i saw was eyes and the eyebrows, not like a bears but like a persons
Can Witness Provide a Sketch of Animal Seen?: No
Any Odor? If so, Description: i cant draw for crap but i can help a sketch artist if you are one or have one, if i describe it better and they can draw it then i can show you what the three animals looked like and no it wasnt all the same animal. when i saw the one i thought was a dead moose or bear there was a dirty animal smell, pretty strong but not over powering, i skin alot of animals and am around alot of trapping lure including rotten fish oil and shellfish oils so what is not bad ot me is maybe strong to you. i like the smell of skunk and most people dont stand it for long. It had your general large dirty animal smell, each animal smells like something , bears smell like bears, beavers like beavers, this smelled like none of them to me but it was a definite dirt and sweat and fur smell. NOT musky like a mink or ermine, and not heavy like a bear or coon, if i had ot say it smelled like one thing over another i’d say it smelled like moose to me, but amybe that is because i was expecting it to be a dead moose.?

I wasn’t going to hunt vermont deer season then the second day of the season i said the hell with it and took my rifle and went over to branch pond, about 30 minutes or slow dirt forest road from my
apartment, i hunt there and trap and fish there alot, all over the whole forest, lots of people do.
i parked at the end of the road and saw another car there so went to the pond then along the shoreline headed north, its real thick int her e and i hoped deer would get in there to avoid the hutners and the hikers that go in and out the trails there. i went the whole shoreline and found a destroyed campsite, figured hikers left the tent and stuff and a bear got into it, it was too much for me to carry out so i kept going figuring i’d come back later and get it with friends. i got tot eh stream that comes in from a beaver pond and a buddy called me on the radio and said he saw my truck where was I? we use ear buds and this is real quiet, i whispered where i was and he said he was going to get ahead of me on the trail and try to get where any deer i kicked out would be in the open for him. i waited a good 5 minutes and clicked my mike to let him know i was moving, we have signals so we dont all have to talk, and then i started crossing the creek, in a couple steps i got across slow and quiet and as i started trying to figure out how to get through the balsam jungle i saw the dead moose or bear on a hill ahead of me, less than 30 yards, right along a birch that had fallen part way over but not all the way down, it must have heard me and it stood up and i was amazed that this was standing there, it looked at me for only a second and then was gone, it made alot of noise at first but then i couldnt hear it and thought maybe it stopped but right about then my buddy calls and says what the hell did you kick out to me? i thought it was going to be a bear coming and something bigger ran past me standing up on 2 legs…i said i know, i am coming your way wait there, he did and we met up and decided to leave. the next time was turkey season, i was out with my hounds and my buddys hounds and we were running them around his friends place after hunting til noon, you cant hunt after noon here for turkey, and the dam dogs took off on us, i drove around to rt 7 and figured i’d cut them off at teh hghway before they got hit and he came throught eh woods on his wheeler, he said they were heading right for me as he had the tracking unit with him, i was less than 100 yards away from teh turn around spot on rt 7 south of arlington exit and this giant friggin thing on 2 legs goes winging across the highway, the dogs not far behind. i was able to get two of the dogs and the rest kept going. we met up and he left th wheeler and we went to his house and i dropped him off took the tracker and went to rt 7a but the dogs
were across it already, hooking hard south and west, i drove around teh rest of the day trying to beep them and finally someone called my buddy to say they saw the dogs in ny which is only a couple miles from where i live and hunt, i swung over there and he said they were running a deer he thought because they were moving the whole time and not treeing, you cant run in may on public land so i called everyone i could and asked them to help me catch the dogs as we would be in violation , even though we were on private fenced land to begin with. when help came we started looking to the dogs and i found whre three were and another friend found the others and then he said you gotta come up here to see what i found and i said no you gotta come here to see what i found, he came down and said, that sure as hell is a giant bear track, and we found nests made out of tree tops under the thick pines, but it was so close to houses and roads we said nah its gotta be something else, then we went to look at what he saw and he said look up at the branches along the road, something has snapped the branches and trees almost in a line across the log road, one side down teh steep bank and across and down again then across the stream and the lowest branch was a good 9 to 10 feet up, these guys i hunt with i said are all voer 6 feet by alot and they can put their palm on a 8 foot ceiling , none of them could get close to reaching the branches and none could match teh tracks and stride going upa nd down teh hill, it was
that long. ever track was a good 4 inches longer than their foot prints. i asked around a few people there that i know and they looked at me like i was a nut so i never said about it again.
then last sunday was the end of rabbit season so i went out with a few friends to get soe hunting in and damned if i am not heading up the log road that is closed this time of year and the dogs are coming in closer, so i start to head for a good spot where i can see and i come around the bend and standing right at the tree i was heading for is another of these things, this one was pissed off looking, i got the real feeling that it was maybe going to come for me, it had, and i know it sounds gay but it is what it is, it had a erection. maybe they breed now and we interrupted it, i dont know but it was a real feeling of hostility i got and it looked at me like it wanted to maybe come get me. this took only a 2 seconds of time but it felt longer then in maybe 4 seconds it was out of sight. i dont know how many steps because i was still thinking about if this frickin thing comes for me can i stop it with bunny loads. when the guys came out they said the snow was too wet to get good scent did i want to keep going and i said no, go over there and look at the tracks, my main hunting buddy did and he said, holy crap you saw one again didnt you? i said yep and i aint got enough gun for these things if they decide to come for me i know that.
if it is something i am imagining then how come others can see the branches and nests, and the tracks?  right? so it has to be something and other people have seen it when i have too, my one hunitng buddy has seen everything except the animals themselves and he thinks it is someone screwing with me, but in hunting season? thats a good way to get shot.
