Sasquatch sighting in Oregon (1997)
Account
The witness and a friend snuck into a small meadow to hunt elk the evening before season. A cow elk entered followed closely by a bipedal figure that tracked it into the timber without alerting it. The witnesses stayed hidden in fear until well after dark, and a friend later cast a footprint from the meadow.
