Robert Stansberry ? bow hunting in Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness Area, got lost, made a fire, fell asleep, woke to see 'guy' crouched down going through his pack. Said 'Hi', it jumped up, looked at him and ran off. Was 7 feet tall, lanky, covered with shaggy brown fur. Head looked a foot wide. Not human at all. It ran at an astounding rate, sprinting, then in a long leaping trot, uplhill about 30 to 35 miles an hour.
