Class A First-hand BFRO #3629

Daylight sighting by a wood cutter on a logging road in the Mts. above Oakley

7 July 1999 between 12:00 and 3:00 Oakley , In The Mt., Cassia County, Idaho 1 witness

Account

The witness was cutting firewood and loading blocks into a truck when a very foul odor suddenly appeared. Looking around, the witness saw a brown-furred biped about 100 feet away walking up a slope out of a ravine with its back turned. The creature briefly steadied itself with a hand on a tree and continued uphill without looking at the witness. Frightened, the witness finished loading quickly and left the area.
