6 miles S of Bend - Fresh tracks, 8-10 of them, found in snow on road
Account
A property owner south of Bend reported finding a line of large tracks in snow that ran from brush across a road to a railroad embankment, running over two of them with a truck. The tracks were described as about 21 inches long with a 48- to 50-inch stride and no drag marks, estimated to be 8-10 hours old when found in the early afternoon. Fourteen photos, video footage, and possible hair samples were collected, but the tracks later disappeared and an investigator who viewed the photos was unimpressed.
