Class A First-hand BFRO #7827

Two hunters recount late morning sighting near Hotchkiss

September 1994 between 10 and 11 am Hotchkiss, Delta County, Colorado 3 witnesses

Account

While hunting deer, the witness and companions stopped on a road overlooking a slope and watched several upright jet-black creatures for several minutes with the naked eye and optics. Two larger individuals were first seen in the open, then smaller individuals about half their size emerged from a draw. The creatures moved into brush as a pickup passed on a road below, and the witnesses later found only sliding marks in loose dirt on the steep hillside.
