December 2012 Kamiah, Idaho County, Idaho Class A #38287

Dogs alert homeowner to a late night visitor outside Kamiah

The witness was awakened around 3:30 a.m. by dogs barking in an outdoor kennel and went outside with a flashlight to investigate. She noticed movement near fruit trees by the driveway and saw a very tall figure that paused behind a tree before running uphill on two legs with swinging arms. The figure looked pale silvery-gray and shaggy, glanced over its shoulder, then leapt off the road down a steep embankment into brush. Next morning she found matted grass and a hole in the bramble where it left the road, but no clear tracks.

August 2007 About 22 Miles From Town In The Sawtooth Forrest, Cassia County, Idaho Class A #20884

Daytime encounter by two people near Rock Creek Road

The witness and a younger relative parked and hiked toward a beaver dam meadow. The relative heard knocking sounds and then saw a tall hunched hair-covered figure with striking yellow eyes watching from the treeline, while the witness smelled a strong odor and the dog barked and kept looking back. The group walked back to the truck without running while hearing twigs snapping behind them, and later wondered if they had disturbed the animal while feeding.

ATV rider recalls passing very close to a Bigfoot at dusk in Eight Mile Canyon near Leadore

In July 2007 the witness and a companion were riding ATVs back toward camp in the evening when the witness noticed a low shape beside the trail.

He also reported a strong elk-like odor. The companion ahead did not see the figure but noticed the witness was shaken afterward.

Daylight sighting by a wood cutter on a logging road in the Mts. above Oakley

The witness was cutting firewood and loading blocks into a truck when a very foul odor suddenly appeared. Looking around, the witness saw a brown-furred biped about 100 feet away walking up a slope out of a ravine with its back turned.
