Class A First-hand BFRO #42051

Deer hunter scouting with his family encounters two Bigfoots near Houtzdale

26 May 2013 about 1:30 pm Houtzdale, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania 1 witness

Account

A hunter walking a dense tunnel-like trail to place salt blocks exited into an open area and saw two large upright creatures about 25 yards away moving away toward the tree line. He watched the first in detail from the side and rear and glimpsed the second's back through trees, hearing footsteps in the grass but no vocalizations or odor. He then discarded the salt block, escorted his wife and child back to their vehicle, and left the area.
