Elk hunter observes an apparent family group

The witness was archery hunting with a group near Elk Valley and walked into a clearing expected to lead to ponds. From about 100 yards away the witness saw three erect dark-brown figures walking quickly in height order toward timber, with the leader gesturing for the smallest to hurry. The figures disappeared into the timber, and the witness did not investigate but later learned a companion nearby had seen the same thing.

Several years later bowhunter confirms sighting of Bigfoot family east of Montpelier

The witness was bow hunting with a group and was dropped off to hunt over a ridge toward a beaver pond. From 75-100 yards away he saw three hair-covered figures at the pond's edge and watched them walk around the pond through scrub into timber. He started toward the pond to look for tracks but left the area after realizing their size.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
