Tracks/hair found near waterhole
Account
The witness was inspecting a fenced spring used to water cattle when they found very large footprints in mud and pine duff. They compared the prints to their own shoe, stride, and impression depth to estimate a very tall, heavy maker, and kept tufts of black hair found at the site. They followed the trail uphill until dense undergrowth made them uncomfortable, then returned to a relative's home without seeing the animal.
