Ed Saville and Eldon Butler were using a wounded rabbit call, presumably at night, on West Branch Rd. near Oroville. They heard something crashing through brush and ran to meet it, it stopped and went back. They saw only a large, hair-covered back. It then circled to look at them. Est. 8 ft., with eyes that shone greenish, a flat face with hair that seemed silver-tipped. It put its hand over its face. (Presume they were using a light). After watching a minute it left.
