Class B First-hand BFRO #5104

Hunters are intimidated out of their hunting ground near Bear Valley

BFRO YEAR: 1982-83 Mid to late afternoon, then around 2100 hrs Bear Valley, Alpine County, California 4 witnesses

Account

Two deer hunters reported that after a rock flew over their heads in a meadow, something unseen paralleled them down a trail for about a mile while throwing or rolling large rocks alongside them. Back at camp that night all four hunters heard a large tree fall across the creek after noticing an unusual absence of wildlife all day. Believing something did not want them in the valley, the group packed up and left that night.
