It was running from the woods on North side and went across the road to the south side, I stopped the car and had my lights on it and he stopped and turned and looked at us and then running into woods. Was not a baby or fully grown.Came within 25 feet of car and glad I saw him or I might have hit him. - Hugh Davis Road in Granville County.
