Maybe they where mates and the sorrow for the injured one. I'm sure that it wanted to just get it's friend to their home to recover and just wanted to be left alone instead of stared at or chased. I've never heard of them trying to hurt anyone. They are always running away. So I feel we should just leave them alone too instead of going hunting them or wanting to research them. Just leave them alone. They're not bothering anybody. Just because they are different and there aren't many doens't mean we have to researach, study, hunt them. The ones around here know we have no intention of hurting them. I believe that when they bang on our house they want us to come outside. Maybe they want to study us? DH and the brother n law saw a figure at the bottom of the hill just behind us but by the time they got there it was gone. I don't know what they where thinking. Inviting them to dinner maybe? Sittin around a bon fire together. Although that would be pretty cool, I don't see it happening. I certainly wouldn't tell anybody either if it did happen. There would be thousands of people out here combing the woods to find them just to shoot them so they could "study or research" them. It's murder either way.
