Tracks in Idaho (1982)

The witness was on his first elk hunt as a teenager with a school friend's family in north-central Idaho.

Strange loud sounds; track discovered the following day

As a teenager camping with a relative and a companion, the witness heard a loud evening vocalization at bedtime that was first thought to be an elk bugle but the relative disagreed. The next morning while preparing to pack into nearby lakes, the group found a single track in a marshy area near the trailhead. The witness and companion were frightened by the find and did not discuss it further.

Man tells of his possible daylight encounter as a young motorcycle explorer in the Coeur d'Alene National Forest

In August 1981 the witness rode a motorcycle up forest roads to a high peak near the North Fork. Near the treeline he uncovered a large old barefoot-like track and later from the summit saw a head-and-shoulders shadow watching from the dark treeline. The shape was gone when he looked back after viewing the panorama, and he rode quickly back down the mountain.

Fish & Game employee recalls following possible tracks while hiking near Little Payette Lake

In November 1979 the witness walked on a low lake's exposed mud flat following the inlet stream and found very large human-like tracks. He followed them about 100 meters and noted they crossed deep water twice and ascended a steep bank without changing stride or showing shaking off. Drawing on lifelong woods experience and wildlife work, he said he could not identify the track maker and ruled out known local animals.

Young boy views bigfoot through window

At dawn on a snowy morning a child resting on a living-room couch noticed a moving shape reflected in the television screen and then looked out the window. A large hairy face was peering inside from a few feet away and looked directly at the child. The terrified child fled upstairs to a relative, and holes in the snow were later seen where the figure had stood.

A couple days later in the same Idaho hunt, the group drove before dawn in snow and watched a dark stump-like shape widen and slide slowly across the road out of headlight range. Later that day they found giant five-toed tracks circling their parked vehicle, and the passenger who checked the roadside with a flashlight claimed it was a hooded hunter on horseback.
