A foul smell in Jefferson County, Oregon

0300 6/15/94 a large animal walked through our camp coming from deep cover. the sound indicated to me a large animal, not wishing to draw any ire, i left well enough alone and listened to it head on out. 0500 hours my camp mates compared notes with one actually accusing me of being the animal as he swears he saw a human silouette at the time we all heard the animal.0530 1 mile downstream i heard a loud commotion in the gravel of a 10 foot cut bank. thinking it was my friend i went to the sound only to smell a horrible smell. i threw a few rocks at the sound but nothing bolted like i think a normal animal would. the whole situation made my hair stand up. i camp and hunt the smell was nothing like any thing i had smelled much worse even than my old dog.
