Sasquatch seen while father and son were hunting elk
Account
The witness and his youngest son were hunting with family and heard noises they thought were elk. While investigating on foot, they noticed a dark trunk-like shape in the bushes about 25 yards away that appeared to have eyes that moved. The son locked the vehicle door and urged immediate departure. The witness remains mostly but not fully convinced the shape was not a tree.
