1 witness
Account
Around 1960 at Wright Meadows, several families were conducting a coordinated deer hunt in which men flushed deer from brush. While feeding children a snack, the witness saw a very hairy bear-like creature come up out of a gully carrying a dead mule deer with its arms extended forward. The witness viewed it through a rifle scope in early-morning daylight before it disappeared down a dip still carrying the deer.
