Class B First-hand BFRO #12396

Possible vocalization heard near Hoop Lake

August 2004 About 10:00 am Mountain View, Wyo., Daggett County, Utah 4 witnesses

Account

The witness and three family members stopped their ATVs on a mountain shoulder overlooking a meadow and forest. After the witness twice imitated alleged sasquatch vocalizations, something answered from the nearby forest. The group left quickly after a cow moose bolted from the trees while looking back. The witness noted the answering sound did not match familiar wildlife but remained unconvinced it was a sasquatch.
