Report Received From: The GCBRO Online Report Submission Form.
 

DATE:    December 2003
 

TIME:     5:45 pm
 

LOCATION:   Freestone County , Texas
 

TERRAIN:    Wooded, there is also a Creek that runs through the property that leads to the Trinity River.
 

OBSERVED:    This happened mid December 2003. A good friend of mine owns a small ranch in  Freestone county and he lets me deer hunt there . This day was raining, cold, fog but I wanted to go hunting any way. Instead of going in my deer stand I went in the brush to a deer trail about 30 yards from the right of way and sat behind a big tree of the trail to wait for deer.  After sitting for about 10 minutes or so to my left not too far I heard a loud horrible scream and i mean loud. I hunted this place by myself morning and evening before (always from my stand ) and never heard any thing of this nature.  It really scared me I decided to get out and get to my truck parked about 1/4 of a mile down. As soon as I made it to the right of way and out of the wood from the same direction that I just walked I heard something walking fast and heavy toward me breaking limbs as it went.  I raised my 30/30 not knowing what I was about to face.  Whatever it was stood at the edge of the tree line.
 

Activities of Witness:   Deer Hunting
 

Description of Creature:  It never came out of the tree line.
 

Other Notes:    I heard about some hunters from Dallas running into something about 10 miles away from my encounter. It scared this people so bad that they never went back for their deer stands and feeders. This was told to me second handed so I don't know if is true. Also the friend that own the land I hunt, has heard noises that he could not identify and this is country boy that has done Farming and Ranching all his life. He is in his early 60s and I don't think he wants to talk about it to strangers.
