Man and his son hunting elk have an encounter with a possible sasquatch near Packwood

Fall 2014 late afternoon, about 3:30PM, about an hour before sunset Packwood, Lewis County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were elk hunting off a forest road when they heard a loud sharp snap uphill interpreted as a large limb or small tree being broken. They scanned the hillside but saw no animal and heard nothing further. They were then struck by a nauseating putrid odor and felt an ominous urge to leave, so they left the area.
