Account
Ray Banks and Chris, driving west on county road 6, saw eyes beside the road, well above the 4 to 5-foot foliage. Two legged, brown creature then took a step to the side and dropped down where it could not be seen. Checking the area later they found a well-used path up the hill, to a heavily wooded state wildlife area.
