Class A First-hand BFRO #44573

Daylight sighting by two turkey hunters in Gifford Point WMA, four miles south of Omaha

June 2012 morning Bellevue, Sarpy County, Nebraska 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a relative were bow-hunting for turkey and had set decoys and a blind before stopping for lunch. The witness noticed a figure squatting at a trailhead across a field and alerted the relative. Both watched it stand, turn, and walk away into the woods down a slope toward the river, grabbing an overhead branch as it left. Afterwards they went to the spot and used the height of the grabbed branch to estimate the figure at about eight feet tall.
