A relative reportedly found a set of bipedal tracks in snow and followed them in both directions.

Couple recount seeing large biped walking in ditch near Marinette

The witness and his girlfriend were driving east at night to look for deer when they noticed a figure walking west in a ditch beside the road. Because the ditch was about five feet below the roadway, they estimated the figure to be eight to nine feet tall. They described it as dark with wide shoulders moving easily through the ditch. They did not stop for a closer look and instead took a longer route back.

Memory told of a sighting by a father and two sons grouse hunting at dawn near Pembine

The witness and two family members were heading out grouse hunting in the early morning when a dark, very large form crossed the road ahead of them where there were no houses or side roads.
