upright canine attack in northwest

9
00:00:37,270 --> 00:00:34,960
wisconsin

10
00:00:37,990 --> 00:00:37,280
i am an outdoorsman and very experienced

11
00:00:41,110 --> 00:00:38,000
in hunting

12
00:00:42,869 --> 00:00:41,120
camping hiking and general survival i'm

13
00:00:45,510 --> 00:00:42,879
very familiar with wildlife

14
00:00:47,990 --> 00:00:45,520
especially locally i was charged by what

15
00:00:50,389 --> 00:00:48,000
i believe was a cryptid called a dogman

16
00:00:52,709 --> 00:00:50,399
it charged me and my cousin it was not a

17
00:00:54,630 --> 00:00:52,719
bear a bear could not move how it did

18
00:00:56,630 --> 00:00:54,640
it was not a normal wolf as they can't

19
00:00:58,549 --> 00:00:56,640
comfortably run on two legs

20
00:00:59,670 --> 00:00:58,559
whereas what charged us seemed natural

21
00:01:01,590 --> 00:00:59,680
as a biped

22
00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:01,600
this happened around june or july of

23
00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:03,440
2007 i believe

24
00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:05,760
i was around 17 years old but

25
00:01:09,429 --> 00:01:07,600
knowledgeable of the outdoors

26
00:01:11,030 --> 00:01:09,439
my family used to own the cabin in

27
00:01:13,270 --> 00:01:11,040
northwest wisconsin

28
00:01:14,550 --> 00:01:13,280
i basically grew up there in the summer

29
00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:14,560
i knew the woods well

30
00:01:18,469 --> 00:01:16,400
but at night it was wise to stay in the

31
00:01:19,109 --> 00:01:18,479
cabin or at least by the bone fire by

32
00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:19,119
the beach

33
00:01:23,830 --> 00:01:22,080
because of bears wolves and cougars one

34
00:01:25,030 --> 00:01:23,840
of the creepiest things was if you were

35
00:01:26,950 --> 00:01:25,040
having a bonfire

36
00:01:28,870 --> 00:01:26,960
the tree line was visible from the fire

37
00:01:30,390 --> 00:01:28,880
pit and beach and at night you always

38
00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:30,400
felt like you were being watched from

39
00:01:33,190 --> 00:01:31,520
that tree line

40
00:01:35,350 --> 00:01:33,200
but during the day the woods always

41
00:01:37,590 --> 00:01:35,360
seemed normal not so creepy

42
00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:37,600
that is until this incident so this

43
00:01:42,389 --> 00:01:39,520
happened somewhere between

44
00:01:44,069 --> 00:01:42,399
and 1400 hours my cousin and i were

45
00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:44,079
having an airsoft battle

46
00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:47,040
i was in full woodland camo he was not i

47
00:01:51,109 --> 00:01:49,360
retreated onto the atv trail into the

48
00:01:53,429 --> 00:01:51,119
woods for a tactical advantage

49
00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:53,439
and our battle took us about 200 meters

50
00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:54,960
into about a third of the way up the

51
00:01:57,429 --> 00:01:55,759
trail

52
00:01:59,109 --> 00:01:57,439
we had enough at this point and were

53
00:02:00,149 --> 00:01:59,119
standing at the edge of a clearing on

54
00:02:02,469 --> 00:02:00,159
the trail talking

55
00:02:04,069 --> 00:02:02,479
and he was maybe 10 feet from me when i

56
00:02:05,910 --> 00:02:04,079
decided to mess with him

57
00:02:08,469 --> 00:02:05,920
i shushed him and said we're being

58
00:02:09,749 --> 00:02:08,479
watched he froze then i realized the

59
00:02:11,750 --> 00:02:09,759
woods were dead quite

60
00:02:13,350 --> 00:02:11,760
and i got spooked and started scanning

61
00:02:14,949 --> 00:02:13,360
the tree line and the other edge of the

62
00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:14,959
clearing from left to right

63
00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:17,360
that's when i saw it its teeth gave it

64
00:02:20,470 --> 00:02:18,000
away

65
00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:20,480
it was panting and staring at my cousin

66
00:02:24,390 --> 00:02:22,000
i don't expect you to believe

67
00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:24,400
me but what i saw was a wolf as big as a

68
00:02:28,229 --> 00:02:25,200
black bear

69
00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:28,239
at least 300 pounds but it wasn't normal

70
00:02:32,630 --> 00:02:30,480
this wolf was on two legs crouching next

71
00:02:34,630 --> 00:02:32,640
to tree with its arm grasping the tree

72
00:02:36,150 --> 00:02:34,640
grasping with a clawed hand it had

73
00:02:38,710 --> 00:02:36,160
reddish brown fur

74
00:02:40,550 --> 00:02:38,720
i told my cousin that we have to go and

75
00:02:42,309 --> 00:02:40,560
next thing i know he is sprinting

76
00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:42,319
and i look back at the creature who had

77
00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:44,319
locked on and sprinted a few steps on

78
00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:45,200
two feet

79
00:02:49,190 --> 00:02:47,040
i turned and ran when it looked like the

80
00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:49,200
creature was dropping to all fours

81
00:02:52,869 --> 00:02:51,280
it charged us and sounded right on our

82
00:02:54,790 --> 00:02:52,879
asses barreling through the brush

83
00:02:56,630 --> 00:02:54,800
but for whatever reason let us go when

84
00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:56,640
we broke out of the tree line and headed

85
00:02:59,270 --> 00:02:57,680
for the cabin

86
00:03:01,750 --> 00:02:59,280
what stuck with me the most was the

87
00:03:03,509 --> 00:03:01,760
sheer size it appeared to be nearly

88
00:03:05,350 --> 00:03:03,519
seven foot tall when upright

89
00:03:07,589 --> 00:03:05,360
it should have had front paws but it

90
00:03:09,910 --> 00:03:07,599
appeared to have large clawed hands

91
00:03:10,869 --> 00:03:09,920
now i'm not sure how to explain it away

92
00:03:12,710 --> 00:03:10,879
rationally

93
00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:12,720
i have heard wolves will occasionally

94
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:14,800
kind of walk upright but as far as i

95
00:03:17,990 --> 00:03:17,040
know they can't sprint on two legs nor

96
00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:18,000
do wolves get that

97
00:03:22,710 --> 00:03:21,040
big black bears waddle on two legs the

98
00:03:25,589 --> 00:03:22,720
closest description is silly

99
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:25,599
a werewolf or dogman i have no idea what

100
00:03:30,830 --> 00:03:27,810
this really was

101
00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:30,840
[Music]

102
00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:33,760
tea

103
00:03:37,589 --> 00:03:35,920
upright canine observed in lackawanna

104
00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:37,599
county pennsylvania

105
00:03:42,789 --> 00:03:40,720
in january 2019 i noticed something

106
00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:42,799
lumbering down my driveway

107
00:03:46,229 --> 00:03:45,040
the window i was looking out faces over

108
00:03:48,949 --> 00:03:46,239
and above the drive

109
00:03:50,149 --> 00:03:48,959
if that's clear for example i can see

110
00:03:52,710 --> 00:03:50,159
the roof of your car

111
00:03:53,589 --> 00:03:52,720
but not always the bottom of the tire

112
00:03:56,309 --> 00:03:53,599
regardless

113
00:03:58,309 --> 00:03:56,319
i notice movement i look out and see

114
00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:58,319
what i initially thought was a bear

115
00:04:02,309 --> 00:04:00,720
nose to the ground kind of snuffling its

116
00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:02,319
head side to side

117
00:04:05,509 --> 00:04:04,560
casually walking down the drive on all

118
00:04:08,550 --> 00:04:05,519
fours

119
00:04:09,429 --> 00:04:08,560
a little geographical clarity i live in

120
00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:09,439
town

121
00:04:13,910 --> 00:04:11,360
the front of my neighborhood faces a

122
00:04:15,270 --> 00:04:13,920
major highway but the back is all state

123
00:04:17,909 --> 00:04:15,280
game lands

124
00:04:19,030 --> 00:04:17,919
i've seen some wildlife turkeys a deer

125
00:04:21,270 --> 00:04:19,040
here and there

126
00:04:22,950 --> 00:04:21,280
and every skunk in the county apparently

127
00:04:25,749 --> 00:04:22,960
lives on my street

128
00:04:26,870 --> 00:04:25,759
i don't see many squirrels groundhogs or

129
00:04:29,909 --> 00:04:26,880
chipmunks

130
00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:29,919
which is a bit odd i'm not very far from

131
00:04:34,710 --> 00:04:31,680
the city of scranton

132
00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:34,720
about seven miles from downtown so i'm

133
00:04:38,790 --> 00:04:36,720
not exactly in the sticks

134
00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:38,800
i watch this bear mosey down toward the

135
00:04:42,629 --> 00:04:40,800
street its head lowered

136
00:04:43,909 --> 00:04:42,639
i moved from the living room window to

137
00:04:46,469 --> 00:04:43,919
my bedroom window

138
00:04:46,950 --> 00:04:46,479
that has a full view of the street sure

139
00:04:50,150 --> 00:04:46,960
enough

140
00:04:52,550 --> 00:04:50,160
here it comes but something is wrong i

141
00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:52,560
watch this beast stand on two legs and

142
00:04:57,909 --> 00:04:54,880
casually walk out into the road

143
00:05:00,070 --> 00:04:57,919
i see pointed ears and a long snout

144
00:05:02,469 --> 00:05:00,080
it's got its head raised smelling the

145
00:05:04,469 --> 00:05:02,479
air this was no bear

146
00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:04,479
i saw it in perfect silhouette under the

147
00:05:08,469 --> 00:05:06,000
yellow street light

148
00:05:10,070 --> 00:05:08,479
it was either dark gray or black the

149
00:05:12,870 --> 00:05:10,080
yellow light threw off the true

150
00:05:14,629 --> 00:05:12,880
color it stood without effort looked

151
00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:14,639
like one fluid movement

152
00:05:17,670 --> 00:05:16,960
it then walked across the road casual as

153
00:05:19,830 --> 00:05:17,680
you please

154
00:05:20,710 --> 00:05:19,840
and kind of hunkered down in some scrub

155
00:05:22,629 --> 00:05:20,720
brush

156
00:05:24,070 --> 00:05:22,639
then i realized it was looking right

157
00:05:26,790 --> 00:05:24,080
into my bedroom

158
00:05:29,270 --> 00:05:26,800
it had blue eyes i'm not sure if that

159
00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:29,280
was reflected light if they were glowing

160
00:05:32,710 --> 00:05:32,000
it looked right at me i lost my legs at

161
00:05:35,909 --> 00:05:32,720
that moment

162
00:05:36,790 --> 00:05:35,919
and sat down under my window absolutely

163
00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:36,800
panicked

164
00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:39,360
i was home alone with five cats and a

165
00:05:44,550 --> 00:05:41,680
dog who slept through the whole thing

166
00:05:45,830 --> 00:05:44,560
i didn't know what to do my window is a

167
00:05:48,150 --> 00:05:45,840
big picture window

168
00:05:49,270 --> 00:05:48,160
and if it wanted me it easily could have

169
00:05:51,270 --> 00:05:49,280
gotten me

170
00:05:53,749 --> 00:05:51,280
i cautiously got on my knees to peek

171
00:05:56,309 --> 00:05:53,759
over the sill and i lost it

172
00:05:58,469 --> 00:05:56,319
didn't see eiser it anywhere it seemed

173
00:06:01,270 --> 00:05:58,479
to be either moving away from the forest

174
00:06:02,870 --> 00:06:01,280
behind my house or it decided to rest up

175
00:06:04,710 --> 00:06:02,880
in that scrub rush

176
00:06:06,309 --> 00:06:04,720
what i saw under the street light is as

177
00:06:09,830 --> 00:06:06,319
follows darkish fur

178
00:06:10,150 --> 00:06:09,840
high pointed ears long muzzle i never

179
00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:10,160
saw

180
00:06:14,070 --> 00:06:12,960
teeth or if it had a tail it had hands

181
00:06:16,629 --> 00:06:14,080
with long claws

182
00:06:17,909 --> 00:06:16,639
that tongue kind of limp wrist if they

183
00:06:20,309 --> 00:06:17,919
were fully extended

184
00:06:22,070 --> 00:06:20,319
they would hang below the knee it walked

185
00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:22,080
on hot dog legs

186
00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:24,160
it looked heavily muscled but had a

187
00:06:27,670 --> 00:06:25,520
tapered waist

188
00:06:29,830 --> 00:06:27,680
it was about seven to seven and a half

189
00:06:31,830 --> 00:06:29,840
feet tall judging from where it stood in

190
00:06:34,230 --> 00:06:31,840
relation to the street light

191
00:06:35,670 --> 00:06:34,240
it was non-aggressive even when i felt

192
00:06:38,230 --> 00:06:35,680
it look right at me

193
00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:38,240
i was terrified but i didn't get a sense

194
00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:40,160
that it was pissed off it had been seen

195
00:06:45,670 --> 00:06:42,960
as some people report i didn't take a

196
00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:45,680
picture because i simply didn't think to

197
00:06:50,070 --> 00:06:48,000
i was in a fair amount of shock but

198
00:06:51,830 --> 00:06:50,080
sometimes your phone is the absolute

199
00:06:53,990 --> 00:06:51,840
last thing on your mind

200
00:06:54,950 --> 00:06:54,000
there have been some odd sounds tapping

201
00:06:57,589 --> 00:06:54,960
at my window

202
00:06:59,589 --> 00:06:57,599
i can hear scratching of the siding i

203
00:07:00,629 --> 00:06:59,599
don't see that many animals around the

204
00:07:02,550 --> 00:07:00,639
neighborhood

205
00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:02,560
there used to be about seven straight

206
00:07:06,710 --> 00:07:04,000
cats high fed

207
00:07:07,029 --> 00:07:06,720
all gone once the weather broke it's

208
00:07:09,830 --> 00:07:07,039
been

209
00:07:11,749 --> 00:07:09,840
quiet i installed motion lights and

210
00:07:13,589 --> 00:07:11,759
bought two game cameras

211
00:07:16,309 --> 00:07:13,599
i'm hoping they are in a sense like

212
00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:16,319
sasquatch they avoid game cams

213
00:07:20,710 --> 00:07:18,160
i don't ever want to see this thing

214
00:07:23,430 --> 00:07:20,720
again those of you who want to see one

215
00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:23,440
pray you never do my encounter was

216
00:07:26,870 --> 00:07:24,720
non-aggressive

217
00:07:28,309 --> 00:07:26,880
i can't imagine having to deal with this

218
00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:28,319
thing pissed off

219
00:07:32,629 --> 00:07:30,639
i still can't sleep a full night and

220
00:07:33,830 --> 00:07:32,639
every sound scares the hell out of me

221
00:07:36,309 --> 00:07:33,840
after dark

222
00:07:42,830 --> 00:07:36,319
i live alone and the pistol i own would

223
00:07:48,230 --> 00:07:45,670
bc

224
00:07:48,869 --> 00:07:48,240
i played canine in finland so about two

225
00:07:50,550 --> 00:07:48,879
years ago

226
00:07:52,710 --> 00:07:50,560
i had an encounter with something i

227
00:07:53,029 --> 00:07:52,720
can't explain and the reason i'm writing

228
00:07:55,110 --> 00:07:53,039
this

229
00:07:56,950 --> 00:07:55,120
is because i saw some strange footprints

230
00:07:58,950 --> 00:07:56,960
yesterday where i encountered it two

231
00:08:01,430 --> 00:07:58,960
years ago i live in finland

232
00:08:03,430 --> 00:08:01,440
near the coast two years ago i was out

233
00:08:05,830 --> 00:08:03,440
hunting and it was getting late and dark

234
00:08:07,510 --> 00:08:05,840
so i decided to head back home i had

235
00:08:09,270 --> 00:08:07,520
about two three kilometer walk through

236
00:08:11,110 --> 00:08:09,280
the forest to get to my car

237
00:08:13,510 --> 00:08:11,120
it had gotten pitch black outside at

238
00:08:14,790 --> 00:08:13,520
this point so i had an led headline for

239
00:08:17,029 --> 00:08:14,800
light as i want

240
00:08:17,909 --> 00:08:17,039
as i woke i kept hearing unusually loud

241
00:08:20,309 --> 00:08:17,919
sounds

242
00:08:21,270 --> 00:08:20,319
i knew something big was moving i was

243
00:08:23,189 --> 00:08:21,280
100

244
00:08:24,550 --> 00:08:23,199
sure it was a new since i've encountered

245
00:08:25,990 --> 00:08:24,560
lots of them in the forest

246
00:08:27,749 --> 00:08:26,000
and they do make lots of noise

247
00:08:29,189 --> 00:08:27,759
vibrations when they walk

248
00:08:30,869 --> 00:08:29,199
i couldn't see anything though and it

249
00:08:32,870 --> 00:08:30,879
was getting closer to me

250
00:08:35,029 --> 00:08:32,880
all of a sudden this super awful smell

251
00:08:36,469 --> 00:08:35,039
hits me it smells like feces and

252
00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:36,479
something really wrong

253
00:08:41,029 --> 00:08:38,880
my hair stands up and i raise my shotgun

254
00:08:41,829 --> 00:08:41,039
as my whole body instinctively tells me

255
00:08:44,310 --> 00:08:41,839
to look

256
00:08:46,230 --> 00:08:44,320
i just stand still and listen as the

257
00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:46,240
sounds get closer i see what looks like

258
00:08:49,269 --> 00:08:48,480
a humanoid figure standing on two feet

259
00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:49,279
really tall

260
00:08:53,670 --> 00:08:51,440
had to be easily over two meters but

261
00:08:55,910 --> 00:08:53,680
slender and muscular at the same time

262
00:08:57,590 --> 00:08:55,920
and kind of crouched down posture it

263
00:08:58,150 --> 00:08:57,600
looked almost like a werewolf from

264
00:09:00,470 --> 00:08:58,160
movies

265
00:09:01,190 --> 00:09:00,480
but at the same time not it was quite

266
00:09:03,350 --> 00:09:01,200
far away

267
00:09:04,230 --> 00:09:03,360
so my light barely went so far but i

268
00:09:06,710 --> 00:09:04,240
could see

269
00:09:07,509 --> 00:09:06,720
its eyes shined red from my led headlamp

270
00:09:09,590 --> 00:09:07,519
as well

271
00:09:10,710 --> 00:09:09,600
it looked at me for about three seconds

272
00:09:12,710 --> 00:09:10,720
made no sounds

273
00:09:14,470 --> 00:09:12,720
it was breathing weirdly i think it

274
00:09:15,430 --> 00:09:14,480
could smell the two ducks i had in my

275
00:09:17,910 --> 00:09:15,440
backpack

276
00:09:19,990 --> 00:09:17,920
it slowly walked away i even filmed a

277
00:09:21,910 --> 00:09:20,000
bit as it started walking with my phone

278
00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:21,920
but its poor quality is my phone at the

279
00:09:25,670 --> 00:09:23,760
time was old and it was dark

280
00:09:26,949 --> 00:09:25,680
so you can't really see it just hear

281
00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:26,959
lots of noise

282
00:09:29,990 --> 00:09:29,120
anyway i told some friends and fellow

283
00:09:31,670 --> 00:09:30,000
hunters

284
00:09:34,829 --> 00:09:31,680
the couple have heard her seen strange

285
00:09:40,790 --> 00:09:34,839
things as well but nothing like this

286
00:09:43,990 --> 00:09:42,870
upright canine encounter in rural

287
00:09:45,750 --> 00:09:44,000
mississippi

288
00:09:48,310 --> 00:09:45,760
i live in a very rural part of

289
00:09:51,350 --> 00:09:48,320
mississippi i believe my town has

290
00:09:53,829 --> 00:09:51,360
something like 247 people in it

291
00:09:55,110 --> 00:09:53,839
everybody knows everybody weird things

292
00:09:57,030 --> 00:09:55,120
have happened before

293
00:09:59,190 --> 00:09:57,040
like animals being slaughtered or going

294
00:10:01,430 --> 00:09:59,200
missing that sort of thing

295
00:10:02,470 --> 00:10:01,440
naturally we chalked it up to coyotes or

296
00:10:04,790 --> 00:10:02,480
other critters

297
00:10:06,230 --> 00:10:04,800
i'm an avid hunter so i was heading out

298
00:10:09,110 --> 00:10:06,240
to the woods with my bow

299
00:10:10,790 --> 00:10:09,120
a fully decked out matthews creed i got

300
00:10:13,269 --> 00:10:10,800
out a little earlier than usual

301
00:10:14,710 --> 00:10:13,279
so it was still pretty dark i've never

302
00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:14,720
minded the woods before

303
00:10:17,990 --> 00:10:16,959
so all i planned on doing was relaxing

304
00:10:20,069 --> 00:10:18,000
in my stand for a

305
00:10:22,470 --> 00:10:20,079
while as i didn't feel like stalking

306
00:10:23,110 --> 00:10:22,480
today it's not too far away from

307
00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:23,120
daylight

308
00:10:27,350 --> 00:10:25,200
so the birds and other wildlife are

309
00:10:30,310 --> 00:10:27,360
starting to make their morning calls

310
00:10:30,790 --> 00:10:30,320
usually pretty peaceful right i swear to

311
00:10:32,790 --> 00:10:30,800
god

312
00:10:34,790 --> 00:10:32,800
in the span of a second everything in

313
00:10:36,150 --> 00:10:34,800
that patch of woods shut up at the same

314
00:10:38,710 --> 00:10:36,160
exact time

315
00:10:39,190 --> 00:10:38,720
dead silence it didn't even try to be

316
00:10:41,829 --> 00:10:39,200
subtle

317
00:10:43,910 --> 00:10:41,839
that alone scared the piss out of me so

318
00:10:46,470 --> 00:10:43,920
naturally my scared self froze

319
00:10:47,190 --> 00:10:46,480
and just listened for anything my first

320
00:10:49,509 --> 00:10:47,200
thought was

321
00:10:51,509 --> 00:10:49,519
oh crap something's out here with me

322
00:10:53,350 --> 00:10:51,519
which freaked me out even more

323
00:10:54,949 --> 00:10:53,360
then i started to think maybe it was

324
00:10:57,030 --> 00:10:54,959
just a bear or a bobcat

325
00:10:59,190 --> 00:10:57,040
which i still was terrified to meet up

326
00:11:00,069 --> 00:10:59,200
with but at least it gave me a logical

327
00:11:02,310 --> 00:11:00,079
answer

328
00:11:04,230 --> 00:11:02,320
i figured i could hear a bear coming but

329
00:11:06,310 --> 00:11:04,240
i knew big cats were renowned for

330
00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:06,320
stalking people without their knowing

331
00:11:11,269 --> 00:11:08,720
which scared the daylights out of me i

332
00:11:13,590 --> 00:11:11,279
decided to keep moving towards my stand

333
00:11:14,389 --> 00:11:13,600
post up and just point my bow down the

334
00:11:16,310 --> 00:11:14,399
tree

335
00:11:17,509 --> 00:11:16,320
after what seemed like forever i

336
00:11:19,829 --> 00:11:17,519
freaking made it

337
00:11:21,110 --> 00:11:19,839
i shuffled up the stand pulled out my

338
00:11:23,590 --> 00:11:21,120
knife just in case

339
00:11:26,150 --> 00:11:23,600
and just listened dawn was definitely

340
00:11:28,550 --> 00:11:26,160
breaking now which made me feel better

341
00:11:30,389 --> 00:11:28,560
still no sounds of wildlife which was

342
00:11:32,870 --> 00:11:30,399
getting more and more eerie

343
00:11:33,670 --> 00:11:32,880
now my stand is perched on the side of a

344
00:11:37,670 --> 00:11:33,680
creek

345
00:11:39,509 --> 00:11:37,680
the top of your ankle

346
00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:39,519
about the only sound i could hear was

347
00:11:43,430 --> 00:11:41,279
the slight noise of the running water

348
00:11:46,150 --> 00:11:43,440
dot then i hear something to my right

349
00:11:47,509 --> 00:11:46,160
and it is running fast i instantly raise

350
00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:47,519
my bow and weight

351
00:11:50,550 --> 00:11:49,760
it's getting louder and louder closer as

352
00:11:52,389 --> 00:11:50,560
well

353
00:11:54,389 --> 00:11:52,399
i almost screamed when i saw this

354
00:11:56,069 --> 00:11:54,399
creature it literally looked like

355
00:11:58,550 --> 00:11:56,079
something out of dog soldiers

356
00:11:59,430 --> 00:11:58,560
only more muscular this thing busted

357
00:12:01,509 --> 00:11:59,440
through the brush

358
00:12:03,750 --> 00:12:01,519
ran down the slope and through the creek

359
00:12:05,990 --> 00:12:03,760
then disappeared on the other side

360
00:12:08,470 --> 00:12:06,000
i have seen some [\h__\h] let me tell you

361
00:12:10,710 --> 00:12:08,480
but i was shaking like a newborn babe

362
00:12:11,509 --> 00:12:10,720
i didn't ease off my drawstring for like

363
00:12:14,069 --> 00:12:11,519
10 minutes

364
00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:14,079
which is a long time to hold a bow i

365
00:12:17,350 --> 00:12:14,560
mean

366
00:12:19,110 --> 00:12:17,360
this thing was huge like six and a half

367
00:12:21,990 --> 00:12:19,120
foot to seven and a half foot

368
00:12:23,430 --> 00:12:22,000
three hundred pounds of no and i've seen

369
00:12:26,310 --> 00:12:23,440
bears and the like before

370
00:12:26,629 --> 00:12:26,320
they do not run like that anyways after

371
00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:26,639
that

372
00:12:30,470 --> 00:12:28,800
the sun really started to show and the

373
00:12:33,030 --> 00:12:30,480
birds started chirping

374
00:12:34,230 --> 00:12:33,040
i had calmed myself down so i got out of

375
00:12:36,389 --> 00:12:34,240
there in a hurry

376
00:12:38,389 --> 00:12:36,399
while i was terrified at the time it's

377
00:12:40,310 --> 00:12:38,399
definitely going to be one of my coolest

378
00:12:42,389 --> 00:12:40,320
memories to look back on
