Class B First-hand BFRO #1757

Two separate sets of large footprints found

December 1988 Walkerville, Silver Bow County, Montana 7 witnesses

Account

The witness reports finding footprints attributed to two large creatures around a rented ranch house in frozen winter conditions. The prints were backtracked to a gulch where they overlapped earlier hiking tracks, with one set circling buildings and a smaller set staying near outbuildings. The prints broke through hard-frozen snow and ice, taken as indicating great weight, but the creatures themselves were not seen.
