Man recalls campfire story
Account
An elk hunter in knee-deep snow came across fresh barefoot-like tracks heading uphill and followed them thinking a lost hunter might be in trouble. He was struck by the long stride uphill. Near the top the tracks went over a fallen log without dislodging snow from it, which frightened him, and he returned to his vehicle and left.
