π Description
I was bow fishing today with my son around 11:30am. We walked down the creek [Plum Creek] past four bridges [railroad bridges] and headed into the marsh. 100 yards into the marsh the dog scared up something that was bedded there. Trees were shaking. We thought it was a group of deer. We continued on 200 more yards to the creek basin in the marsh. We sat and enjoyed the wildlife for a little while. We headed back through cattails and saw a lot of deer beds on the way to the first bridge. We crossed the first bridge and was between that and the second bridge. We heard sirens in the distance. My son said do you hear those? I sat down my bow and arrow to get out my.cell phone and earbuds. I wanted to listen to the police scanner app on my phone to see what was happening. My son was behind me and dog was off to the right. All of a sudden I heard rustling in a tree to the left and a huge thud hitting the ground from the tree. A big heavy animal hit the ground and crouched and start moving towards me through brush. My dog fired off from the right of me toward the creature. The dog almost got to it but the creature shot off extremely fast through trees and brush. The dog chased the creature up the slope and over the train tracks. I then called for my dog to come back.My son said "holy shit what was that?? It was as big as a bear but it looked like a gorilla!" We walked back but we heard something crunching on the ground behind us. We left!
