Hunter catches glimpse of biped on snowy road

2 February 2001 nighttime Cokeville, Wyo., Lincoln County, Wyoming 1 witness

Account

The driver was traveling at night in light snow with a young child passenger when headlights revealed a large upright figure near the road. The figure moved downhill on two legs with long strides and a large upper body, which the driver felt differed from a bear. The driver stopped where the figure left the road and noticed smeared tracks in mud and snow leading downhill but did not follow them. The driver later said he believed the figure was likely a bigfoot.
