Sighting Details:

It was the 2nd week of the muzzle loader hunt @ high point state park, I went for the the afternoon post, and took a large deer @ 4:35 pm, I took care of dressing it quickly, so as to start getting it out as quickly as possible, since i was in quite a ways from the truck.

I was struggling with it, due to it’s unusually large size, when I took a break, looking up, I saw what I thought was another hunter on his way to the trail head that leads out to deckertown tpk, thinking I could maybe get him to help drag for a few $$$, I called out, the “guy” stopped and turned, that’s when I noticed it wasn’t a hunter, and saw the 2 red eyes, they were about 1″-2″ apart or so, and what I estimated to be between 7-8 feet above the ground @ 65-70 yds, the terrain was open hard woods so I had a clear view, between me and it.

It didn’t register at 1st and the ‘thing turned and continued on it’s way, I called again, again it stopped and looked at me.

I didn’t feel at all threatened. I had lived in Sussex county for 9 years prior, and never even heard of such a thing being sighted until a day before typing this, I have hunted northern NJ since 1979, and I’m familiar with pretty much all wildlife, but this was something I have never seen before, it walked upright, had eyes I estimate to be the size of quarters, and they glowed with the color red, it continued on it’s way up over the rise towards new road, and that’s my story.

I think I actually, had the good fortune to see something unusual and rare.
I did speak to the park rangers by phone, a few months after the sighting, they seemed more willing to admit to mountain lions being sighted, but not this red eye’d thing… I don’t blame them, I’m sure it sounds crazy, but I know what I saw, I guess I just wanted some validation, from the rangers who as I now understand are aware of the red eye’d creature, and have been for years.
