An account in Kern County, California

I am a land surveyor who was performing a large boundary survey adjacent to The Tejon Ranch while driving along an old ridge line road, I encountered a black figure amongst the trees. I originally took it for a tall tree stump or sprag until it began to move. After it began moving I thought it may be a bear. As I came closer, I realized that it was too thin and tall to be a bear. Finally as I came within 75 feet of it, it sprinted across the road and disappeared into the trees.
