Class B First-hand BFRO #1028

Deer hunters find tracks in mountains northwest of Williams

October 1982 Middle of the day Williams, Coconino County, Arizona 2 witnesses

Account

The witness reports finding numerous human-like footprints of varying sizes after hiking a considerable distance from camp during a deer-hunting trip. The largest prints were described as very long and unusually deep compared to the witness's own boot impression. A relative who also saw the prints thought they were probably a hoax, while the witness doubted anyone could have faked many deep prints of different sizes that far out.
