Class A First-hand BFRO #26948

Daylight sighting by hunter near rural homes in the Wellsville Mountains

20 October 2007 mid afternoon, about 1500 Cache County, Utah 1 witness

Account

The witness sat on a slope glassing bedded deer during the mule deer hunt. A large black bipedal figure crashed through dense brush uphill, moving gracefully and quickly out of sight over a ridge. Despite prior experience with bears and mountain lions, the frightened witness loaded his rifle, backed away without turning, and drove off.
