Account

The witness described following a deer trail up a rocky outcrop and finding a side trail hidden behind tall brush that led to a rock ledge and cave. From outside the cave, the witness noted a strong odor attributed to Bigfoot, bleached bones with some meat remaining on one slope, and large piles of scat on the other side. The witness did not enter the cave.
