September 2012 Isabella, Lake County, Minnesota Class B #41411

Possible encounters at a favorite backwoods spot near Isabella

A witness and a relative were carrying camping gear to canoes in the afternoon when they heard an extremely loud bellow followed by muffled talking-like sounds. The witness retrieved a shotgun and moved toward a river point while the relative watched from the canoes. The witness heard heavy footsteps and brush movement heading toward the rapids but saw nothing, and found dry crossing rocks with no splashing. He concluded whatever made the sounds must have leapt rock to rock to cross.

That night they heard a loud splash near their island camp, and at dawn found a very large wet footprint by their canoes before leaving the area.

They remained silent during the passing and did not search for tracks the next morning.
