Hunter has close enounter with a sasquatch, while elk hunting with family.
Account
During an elk-hunting camp stay, the witness slept alone in a tent near a trailer. On the night of Oct 20 after lights were out, something large came into camp making knocking and pounding sounds, handling food paper, walking bipedally and breaking sticks, and giving off a strong rotten-egg odor. The witness aimed a rifle but did not shoot, then retreated to the trailer where a relative also smelled the odor and both saw a third set of eyes near the mules. In the morning they found footprints, hairs, and a small twisted-off tree and photographed some traces.
