Report Received From: The GCBRO Online Report Submission Form.
 

DATE:    September 2002
 

TIME:     Around 4:30 am
 

LOCATION:   Pennsylvania, Indiana County
 

TERRAIN:    Wooded
 

OBSERVED:    Me and my cousin XXX was planning on hunting deer as he was off work. We drove to where we had scouted several times and found numerous deer sign. We had to walk about a mile to get to where our stands were set up. We got there and it was still dark out and since we only had one flash light XXX climbed into his stand so i could have the light to get into mine.

While i was navigating through the brush the wind shifted and i caught a whiff of what smelled like a dead skunk but just passed it off,  and i made it into my tree stand with no further problems. It wasn't until it was just light enough so you could make everything out,  a small buck came up the trail,  i stood up and drew my bow when the buck suddenly stopped and looked nervous.   I decided to wait, seeing as though it was the rut it might be a larger buck. That's when i smelled the thing and something moving behind some trees and when the deer started running off that thing gave a horrible cry and ran after it through the brush, i only caught a glimpse of a dark figure.
