BFRO #40420: Rural resident hears heavy bipedal footfalls and smells strong "skunk-like" odor near Seguin

📍 Location

📝 Description

Ok, this happened about 2 years ago or maybe 2 1/2.I live on 10 acres of woods. All around me is woods. I was just falling asleep during a cool summer night. The 3 dogs I have lived outside in their pen I built. The dogs bark now and then at night but usually quiet down, being that they are used to noises.They started barking that night so I sat up in bed and yelled "no". They stopped but after a few seconds they were barking very loud and unusual. I thought that it may have been a wild hog that we see every so often.I got up and heard some movement below my bedroom window, which is about 6 feet above the ground. I grabbed my 357 and stood up. I heard something like foot steps but they sounded like a very heavy person taking huge steps, but not running. I took off out the front door and turned the outside lights on with the dogs still barking wildly.I had a flashlight, pointed it where the steps were at, only to see nothing. But, I did smell a strong odor of a skunk but not that harsh smell.I laid back down a few minutes later and finally gathered my thoughts together and called 911. I was wondering how I was going to report this.I talked with the 911 operator and was kind nervous when talking with her. She laughed and said something like its OK, an officer will be there. I didn't want the officer coming to the house unless they were able to find something.No one came, so the next morning came I found myself looking for anything on the ground, no foot prints due to carpet grass that was pretty thick. No fur and no more smell.
