Bullfrog hunting at night after setting up camp in desert area with some ponds, saw something behind tree as they walked down dirt road. Whistled at it, it took a 4-foot sidestep into the road. 7 ft, very muscular, very long legs and arms, covered with light hair. It started to walk towards them with four-foot steps, and they ran. Thought it was curious, could easily have caught them.
