Account

Two companions on a caribou hunt watched from a ridge with binoculars as a large grey animal on hind legs crossed a distant clearing between spruce trees over about half an hour. They lost sight of it when caribou entered the area and it moved into heavy brush. After the hunt, a bush pilot suggested the description matched the Iliamna region's 'Hairy Man' known to local native people.
