Hunter observes trio of animals near Nestor Peak Lookout

October 1982 daybreak White Salmon, Klickitat County, Washington 1 witness

Account

While hunting at dawn in the Nestor Peak area in fall 1982, the witness watched a smaller hairy biped notice him, scream and crouch to hide. A much larger similar animal then approached, touched the smaller one, and stared at the witness while breathing heavily, before the two walked uphill. A third slightly smaller animal joined them at the ridgetop and all three disappeared over the hill into the canyon.
