BFRO #77879: Nighttime sighting by commuter on remote road 40 miles north of Bristol

📍 Location

📝 Description

I saw this at around 200-230 am I was running late for work at the prison and I was driving a bit faster than normal, as well as not having my bright lights on. I was turning on a side road at the main gate of the coal mines. I drove less than a quarter mile from the coal mines when I saw a large what I thought was a bear or feral cow beside the road so I slowed down in case it spooked and ran across the road. That was when I noticed it was on two legs and was large but was kneeling down if I had to guess I would say it was 500-600 pounds. This animal had shaggy fur that I could see the outline of from the lights. It looked over what seemed to be its shoulder and had a human like face with a heavy brow. It looked back through the brush and then looked quickly back again before stepping toward the creek and climbed down and went out of sight. The thing that made me stop in the road was it had a knee and was looking through the brush holding it apart to look through. This "animal" had no eye shine. Once I passed its location I saw that it had been looking at 2 does. I have no idea what it was doing but definitely seemed like it was hunting.
