Estacada Rancher finds a large track while looking around outside at 1:00 am to see what's disturbing his horses
Account
Late at night the witness and a relative went to check on highly agitated horses, fearing a bear had entered the corral. By the time they arrived something was crashing away through brush and a tree used as a corral post had been snapped and bent over. By flashlight they found very large human-like footprints with five toe prints and slide marks around the tree base. They told other family members it was a bear, wiped out the prints, and the witness later sold the property.
