📝 Description
Wanted to pass this by you as I was out duck hunting today (10/17/21) in north central Wisconsin� Powell Marsh area to be exact.This is a very remote marsh area surrounded by hundreds of thousands of acres of state and National forests. You can access this marsh zone via paths the DNR has to maintain Water levels and people do watch migratory birds from a couple observation areas along road. I was more on a walk with the potential to jump shoot some puddle ducks as you can see not a cloud around. Nor were there ducks. Not even sure it is a sighting but seemed rather strange. Something told me to look behind me as I was going the opposite direction as the figure. After watching this object for a couple hundred yards I decided to grab my cell phone. It is a long way away but appears black, large, and fast. We have bear, very few moose, wolves, and occasional Elk around. Feel free to say it is a guy on a bike-riding in the peat moss, or a guy on a 4 wheeler in a prohibited motorized vehicle area. It appears to be bipedal and walking deeper into the swamp in the muck. It is hunting season and I wouldn�t expect a person to be dressed in all black in a public hunting area. I tried walking in it and turned back after about 5 feet. With naked eye I could see much better. The figure seemed to float as it moved across the swamp. Again a guy on a bike? After my hunt, I returned to the only 2 access areas to see if there were vehicles with bike racks or people out for a peat bog run. There was nobody around. I have been to the Marsh countless times and have never seen something like this. Although the distance a bit far for video. Figure seems quite large. Clearly appears to be in muck. I have photos and video but iPhone is a long way away and i am not an editing expert. I am sure video can be manipulated and enhanced.�����������[Further comments provide when he sent in the photos:� Here are pics. Was hunting ducks in Powell Marsh, Wisconsin. Video I have problems getting to send but have it running thu the muck Any thoughts are welcome. Watched with naked eye for about 300 yards before I figured I should try to get some photos/video. The small road behind is top of dikes running through the swamp. about 10 feet wide with deep water on sides. Clearly in the marsh not on road. Of course left GoPro at cabin so stuck with iphone camera.. Would be happy to say it is nothing so I could hunt peacefully without thinking of this. Seems quite large. Was fast. And all black.LINK TO IPAD CLIP mentioned in investigator notes. To see the clip, right-click on the link to open it in a new window.
