Account

While deer hunting alone in the mountains above the Snake River near Palisades Reservoir, the witness found a single footprint in soft dirt beside a game trail. About fifteen yards away a live green tree had a limb about two inches thick ripped off roughly six feet high, and he could not find the missing limb after searching. Feeling uneasy and alone, he did not follow the trail further and returned to his truck.
