Elk Hunter recalls observing what he thought was another hunter near Lake Quinault
Account
The witness spent the night in a truck at the end of a logging road after light snow and watched the road in the morning. A large black figure appeared about 1000 feet away, stood motionless for one to several hours scanning the valley, then took a large step off the road down a steep slope. The witness walked to the spot, found no tracks in the snow, concluded it was not a man, and left the area.
