Class B First-hand BFRO #67551

Hikers find large footprint and unidentified droppings

BFRO YEAR: May 2020 St. Elmo, Chaffee County, Colorado 2 witnesses

Account

Two people walking a dog on a trail noticed multiple large human-shaped droppings along the uphill side and discussed them as possible territorial marking. After turning back when a deer startled them, they found a single deep, clear footprint partly hidden by branches and photographed it with a shoe and water bottle for scale. They searched briefly for a natural cause for the impression but left quickly because the companion and dog were agitated.
