Incident #1000496
La Porte, Plumas Cty, California
Sep 1964 to 1965
Account
Herb Brown wrote to Roger Patterson that he was hunting just north of La Porte, and was sitting under some brush waiting for deer to enter an opening, when four does ran across and right behind came a huge form running on two legs. The deer did not appear to be fleeing, rather he thought the biped was running with them. It had long arms and a funny gait compared to a human.
