Dutch Holler (might be Haller) and his uncle (Fred Wyrick?) were deer hunting in a timbered draw next to wheat fields, Holler working down from the top, uncle waiting at the bottom of the draw. Location is a problem. Sounds closest to "Reardan" on the tape, but says on Spokane River, and then estimates 20 to 30 miles Southeast of Spokane. Reardan is West of Spokane and not on the Spokane River, while the river is nowhere South of Spokane. Holler started down the draw, then noticed something quarter behind him, turned and saw creature let go of a branch it was holding, turn and walk off. He thought it was a bear standing upright because it had a trap on one paw. Followed it through the brush to a small opening, saw it standing on the far side, it turned and went into the brush again. Same thing happened again, it seemed to have waited for him. At the next opening he took aim but didn't shoot, had decided it was not a bear and didn't know what it was. It went on, and passed his uncle, who saw it close up. It never ran, made no sound, there was no odour. Never more than 75 feet away. Guessed height 7 to 7.5 feet, weight 250 to 275 pounds. Really short neck, long arms, hair about two inches long, shorter on face. Forehead sloped more than a man's, less than an ape's. Not much of a nose, didn't notice ears or sex. Apparently dark skinned as face no lighter than the rest.
