Class B First-hand BFRO #55290

Possible footprint found by a family looking for moose antlers near Wilson Mills

July 2016 around 2pm Wilson Mills, ME/ Errol, Oxford County, Maine 2 witnesses

Account

While searching for shed moose antlers, the witness and a companion followed moose tracks past a clearing to a small runoff ditch. There they found a single very large five-toed human-like bare footprint with no claw marks, which they photographed with small objects for scale. They also noted multiple similarly broken trees angled to point along the game trail into dense woods.
