Class B First-hand BFRO #29549

Memory told of a possible daylight sighting while driving deer on a farm east of Iron River

BFRO YEAR: Late 60's mid-morning, before noon Iron River/Crystal Falls, Iron County, Michigan 1 witness

Account

In the late 1960s, the witness was stationed at a fence corner during a family deer drive on fenced farm land. He reported seeing a large hairy figure step over a four-foot barbed-wire fence from the west and then over a second fence to the north. The rest of the hunting party later emerged from the woods behind it, and the witness maintained the same account into adulthood.
