Ringwood, Major Cty, Oklahoma

Account
Gary Jantzen and friend were still hunting, hidden in scrub oak at the edge of a field of winter wheat, when they sensed something behind them, turned and saw a huge hairy creature watching them from 30 feet away. It was more than twice the height of a four-foot fence it was standing next to. When they looked at it it fled, hurdling another fence with ease. They fled too.
