Deer hunter comes across possible sasquatch tracks (w/ cell phone photo of one track)
Account
The witness camped alone on a mountain ridge during deer season. Late in the evening he heard a single loud guttural pop-like sound nearby that he took as an animal warning. The next morning he found very large human-like footprints and followed them about 75 yards through a saddle before resuming hunting. He photographed the first print with a cell phone.
