Hunter has early morning sighting near Challis
Account
During a morning hunting drive, the witness sat on a steep slope and watched a tall, lanky figure cross the opposite hillside for about a minute through a riflescope. The figure moved quickly with long strides and traversed steep terrain easily, appearing larger than a relative who later crossed lower on the same slope. The witness first thought it was a companion but later learned no companion matched the location or clothing.
