While hunting in the Whiteswan Lake area in September, 2007, I encountered a creature that smelled worse than any bear I have ever smelled, and I've hunted over 35 years. I had just sat on a stump to enjoy a chocolate bar, when this god awful smell permeated the whole area. It took a minute to spot the source of the smell. There it was, about 50 yards to my right. Standing stalk straight was something very tall and ugly. Quite startled, I reached for my rifle, the thing bolted and gone. Never did put much store in stories about strange creatures, but now I do!ALSO NOTICED: That's all the info I have.OTHER WITNESSES: I hunt alone.OTHER STORIES: I've always heard stories but did not really believe them.TIME AND CONDITIONS: Early morning, cool, good visibility ENVIRONMENT: Mostly logged out with fresh growth.
