Shortridge first saw the creature as he carried a cooler and his lunch from a vehicle to the 6-by-8 foot wooden blind.
"It paced back and forth, in front of the blind, about 10 yards away," Shortridge recalled. "I sat and watched him. I kept shining my light into his eyes. The more I put the light on him, the louder he growled."
"It had a mane, so I could tell it was a male. And I'm sure it wasn't a bear."
"...it escaped from a pen someplace"
