Account
As a child the witness was riding with a relative in a pickup scouting logging sales on a remote road in northern Idaho when a large hairy figure came down a hill and crossed the road. The relative stopped the truck, took a rifle and got out, after which crashing was heard below the road but the figure was not seen again.
