Reminded me of the "dogman" stories I've heard now and then. Also, something read long ago about an ice-age version of wolf that was much larger than the wolves of today.
Cheers

Gripping story. They're always so much better when they're true.
You told it giving details; easy to see it with my imagination.
Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks guys. Every word is true... that thing lives around here. I've heard theories from a mutant to a dire wolf. None seem to work well. I'm not big into the actual werewolf theory... probably came from someone seeing a hungry redneck walking around at night. Some of us do have fur.
Come to think of it, I've heard some rednecks have tails too... can't actually verify that one...
Admittedly, the third encounter wasn't visual... could have also been a skunk ape for all that. There was no overwhelming stench, though, so I doubt that. The only other large predators we have are black bears and mountain lions. As close as I got that time, either would have spooked or charged. That treeline it was in is pretty narrow, so I couldn't have been more than 20 feet from whatever it was.
I know it's intelligent. Maybe someday I'll come face to face with it. If it's that intelligent it knows better than to attack a redneck.
