Elk hunter finds large bi-pedal tracks on Mount Baldy
Account
While elk hunting alone on a remote snow-covered mountain slope in the morning, the witness found a line of large barefoot bipedal tracks heading uphill. The prints were substantially larger than the witness's boot and spaced about five feet apart, forcing a leap to step between them. The witness photographed one print with a boot for scale, judged the tracks to be several days old, and believed they were not made by snowshoes, bears, or another hunter due to their shape and the area's remoteness.
