Memory told of a sighting by a father and two sons grouse hunting at dawn near Pembine
Account
The witness and two family members were heading out grouse hunting in the early morning when a dark, very large form crossed the road ahead of them where there were no houses or side roads. The figure walked upright with a leaning gait and long swinging arms and was watched for about five seconds. At the time the father doubted the identification, but decades later he agreed with the younger witnesses that it had been a Bigfoot.
