Class A First-hand BFRO #1760

Bowhunter sees large figure near Cameron Pass

September 1996 around 8:00 a.m. Rand Or Gould, Jackson County, Colorado 1 witness

Account

The witness and a companion were elk hunting on foot in fresh snow in the morning. The witness was using an elk call when a large dark figure was seen standing across a clearcut, watching for about 30 seconds before turning with a distinctive upper-body swing and walking uphill into dense aspen. The companion dismissed it without observing it, and a later binocular scan found no further movement.
