Class B First-hand BFRO #13768

Possible sighting at night by bowhunters near Crooked Creek outside Dubois

August 1997 approximately 1 a.m. Dubois Idahos, Clark County, Idaho 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a hunting companion were talking in the bed of a pickup while camped after bow hunting near Crooked Creek on a bright moonlit night. About 20 yards away they watched a two-legged figure peek from behind a cottonwood tree, then run to hide behind another cottonwood. Feeling unsafe with only a bow, they shouted about having guns and then left, driving 25 miles to sleep elsewhere.
