Class B First-hand BFRO #13583

Possible tracks and vocalizations outside Lumby

15 January 2006 noon Lumby, British Columbia 2 witnesses

Account

On Jan 14, the witness and his girlfriend hiked from the field across the creek to an old skidder trail. There they found large, widely spaced footprints in deep crunchy snow that the witness could only match at a semi-run and that crossed a fallen log without disturbing the snow on top. Nearby they saw a tree with bark stripped all around the lower five feet. Feeling unsafe, they stopped investigating and left the area.
