Tracks found while hunting
Account
The witness, then young, went over a ridge while three relatives took routes to either side after the group spotted a deer. The witness found very large, widely spaced, mostly indistinct tracks, some showing toes, and followed them to a road. There the group noted large berry-filled scat and an oddly placed rock, then found another well-defined track that all saw, which they attributed to the big guy.
