Hunter hunts/follows barefoot trail through snow
Account
While elk hunting alone in snow near Goose Lake, the witness found large barefoot tracks that crossed over a log and continued along the treeline. He followed them about a quarter mile and about 200 yards into dark timber in heavy snow and mist. After mistaking a wind-blown branch for movement behind him, he became frightened and returned to the truck, concluding the tracks were made by Bigfoot.
