near Buchanan Cr. - Man watches creature for 1/2 hour, finds half-eaten coyote carcass
Account
The witness had been elk hunting and then walked toward a lake with a fishing rod when a hump was noticed among young trees a few hundred yards away. Using a rifle scope and later moving to a cliff, the witness watched for about two hours as the figure raised its head above the trees, made deep chattering pig-like grunts, moved its arms and stamped a foot, and crouched to avoid a passing truck. After shots were fired into the air, the figure ran very fast across rough ground, jumped into a deep ravine and disappeared into distant forest. The next day the witness found large prints, hairs, a partly eaten coyote in a trap, and followed a strong sweet stench to a cave.
