Class A First-hand BFRO #5495

Large prints found in mud and then vocalizations heard south of Yakama Reservation

August 1993 afternoon Goldendale, Klickitat County, Washington 1 witness

Account

The witness drove to rented pasture to check fences where cattle had been getting out. He found a large tree knocked through the fence with strange hair on the wire, moved the tree and repaired the fence, then found very large fresh footprints in mud near a creek. He heard a grunt near the repair site and later a high-pitched scream from the same direction, found items tossed from his truck bed, then left and did not return.
