Account

The witness and a hunting companion found large human-like footprints with toe impressions at a stock pond early in the morning during bow season. They followed the trackway, noted skid marks and disturbed ground leading into a ravine, then covered the clearest prints and later made plaster casts and stride photos. Measurements and hair samples from vegetation were reportedly retained.
