Steuben County, New York · 2022-05-17 · from the BFRO archive
Town of Erwin New York State when I was hunting spring turkeys. I was sitting at the base of a tree location at the top of a ridge line that connected to another ridge. I was calling gobbler turkeys that were on their roost trees, when at which time the gobblers flew down off the ridge from their roost. I was still sitting at the base of the tree having not moved location for a half hour when I noticed something walking on two legs approximately 75 yards away. The thing was about 7 feet tall. I first thought maybe another human was there hunting, but then it was apparent to me it was dark reddish brown from head to feet. This thing was in my view of sight for about 4 to 5 seconds and then went behind a tree and that was the last I seen it. Then about 15 minutes later (I have not moved from the base of the tree sitting on the ground same spot) to my left approximately 30 yards an object hit a tree about 25 feet up in the tree. Then the object that hit the tree hit the ground sounded like a rock. I continued through the area for the rest of the morning with no further incident. I have hunted in New York for 42 years and never witnessed something like this before.
