ATV riders find possible tracks outside Evarts

October 2008 10:00 am Evarts, Harlan County, Kentucky 4 witnesses

Account

Four men riding 4-wheelers in thick forest saw a black bear on an opposite hillside and rode toward it, but the bear disappeared into deep woods. Stopped at the hilltop, they noticed four large human-like footprints in fresh mud heading up the trail in a different direction from the bear. The prints were described as very large with a big toe and a few smaller toes and a long stride. Hunters in the group said the prints looked like Bigfoot prints and differed from bear tracks.
