Father and son experience "disappearing stump" on Carmen Creek Road while scouting for deer during the day outside the city of Salmon

October 2014 late afternoon around 4 pm Salmon ID, Lemhi County, Idaho 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and his son were driving on a rough road while hunting for deer late in the day. The witness stopped to scan a ridge about 300 yards away and saw a large dark standing figure near a tree that they joked looked like Bigfoot but assumed was a stump. After driving to a dead end and returning less than three minutes later, the figure was gone. The witness remains uncertain what it was and is not convinced it was Bigfoot.
