Bowhunter finds large barefoot prints in the snow near Drummond

Account

While bow-hunting in fresh snow, the witness found a trail of large barefoot-like tracks and followed it about 70 yards to a thicket. After getting into a tree stand, the witness heard knocks, breaking branches, growling, huffs and moans from about 100 yards away for an hour. Becoming nervous, the witness left the area.
