Account
Two companions were out for early-season elk archery hunting in August when they claimed to see a creature on a hill near the road at about 7 p.m. It was described as shadowy and brownish and estimated to be around 12 feet tall. The reporter heard about the sighting in a phone call with one of the participants.
