Daylight sighting by a hunter on her hunting property near Pembine
A hunter encountered a large fur-covered creature crouched on all fours examining tracks in light snow at the edge of a cedar swamp.

After a child's whoops received an immediate whoop reply nearby, two adults who stayed behind briefly heard something approach closely then step away, seeing nothing with lights. Back in camp the group saw intermittent orange eyeshine below the ridgeline, and later heard movement around camp overnight including a camper shaking.

Hunting & fishing guide has afternoon encounter in deep woods near Lugerville

The creature eventually disappeared near a clear-cut area after the witness waited an hour without it reappearing.
Second-hand report of creature looking in at woman through window
About two decades ago a woman washing dishes at night saw a large hairy-faced man looking through the window above her sink. Police were called and during the subsequent search an officer saw a tall man-like figure run across a highway. Very large tracks with a long stride were found but dogs could not track anything and the figure vanished into river bottoms. A later visitor examined a cast and said weight distribution argued against a fake shoe.
Tracks found by hunters, creature seen
The witness and his father were walking to their deer stands before sunrise when they heard something moving parallel to them and smelled a musky odor.

They retreated to the stream and at daylight saw dark fur moving through deadfalls in the distance.
Morning sighting near Pelican Lake
A group of six people observed a large, brown, long-haired, foul-smelling animal for about 15 seconds in the morning.

No vocalizations were heard and the encounter was described as not life-threatening.
