Class A First-hand BFRO #3226

Man finds 3-toed prints & wife has sighting

November 1998 about 2:00 p.m. Dover, Pope County, Arkansas 1 witness

Account

During modern-gun deer season the witness was walking on a road between two fields when he noticed footprint-like impressions in the road and at the field edge. He returned the next morning to photograph one impression with a shotgun and boot for scale. He described it as about boot-length, wider than a bare foot, with three toes, and interpreted several impressions as a running stride toward a nearby thicket.
