Couple bow hunting on Mt Emily initially mistake bigfoot for another hunter
Account
While bow hunting with a companion on Mt. Emily in late August around 1981-1983, the witness drove to the summit and first mistook a figure by a tree for another hunter. As they drove past, the figure stood up, walked across the road to a hillside, paused to look at them, then disappeared over the hill. The witness inspected the spot and estimated the figure at about 8 feet tall by comparison to the tree, concluding it was not a hunter or bear.
