Two witnesses discover and document a large three-toed track

Account

While hunting bears in timber country, the witness and a relative entered a clear-cut and noticed a large footprint in mud on a slope above a logging road. The impression was described as human-like with three toes and measuring about 14 by 7 inches. The witness later returned to create a plaster cast that was videotaped and photographed.
