Possible howls and footprints in Colville National Forest
Account
The witness and a companion were driving remote back roads at night scouting for deer sign in snowy conditions. They discovered very large human-like bipedal tracks in fresh snow and traced them along the roadway for close to a mile. The tracks stayed mostly on one side of the road before descending into a creek where they were lost, leading the witness to conclude they were not made by a known animal or person on foot.
