Logger hears long roaring howls on the same property large tracks had been discovered.
Late at night the witness went to let his dogs out at his mountain home and heard prolonged loud deep screaming and howl-like vocalizations estimated to be about a half mile away.

Husband and wife hear vocals while making camp at dark, near Priest Lake
A couple and their dog set up camp for the night in a closed campground area after kayaking. After dark they heard loud whoo-like calls from the woods to the north, with a second much louder call from close range and a fainter answering call from a distance. They judged the calls too loud to be an owl and were frightened, retrieving a pistol, but heard no vehicles, lights, footsteps, or odor. Nothing further was heard overnight and nothing appeared disturbed in the morning.

The witness was hunting near a marsh trail when he found two broken turtle shells sitting on logs.

While walking out he heard a loud bat-like crack and whooshing through nearby brush but saw nothing.
Hunter finds possible footprints and knuckle prints near Priest Lake
While hunting deer in the late morning, the witness found two sizes of barefoot-like impressions in frozen dirt along the same trail. Some impressions showed five toes with no claw marks. The larger prints were bigger than the witness's boot and spaced wider than the witness could step, while the smaller prints were roughly boot-sized.
Rock banging, footprints and strange stripped tree on high mountain ranch near Sandpoint
The witness was working alone with a guard dog in a forest clearing being cleared for a runway when, after shutting down machinery, two series of very loud rock-banging sounds came from the shadowed tree line. The dog stayed alert but would not approach, and the witness felt watched and left without seeing the source. Weeks later he found very large deep footprints pointing toward the sound location.
Possible tracks found outside Clark Fork, near Spring Creek Road
The witness was walking in hills several miles from the house when they came across large prints in snow. The prints were described as 15-17 inches long, wide, with toes, and the witness stepped on one before noticing them. The witness took photos and later described three good bipedal prints that dwarfed a size 13 boot, noting melt-freeze conditions may have enlarged them.
Winter hikers find trail of footprints near Clark Fork
Two companions hiked through deep snow toward a waterfall in winter and found a trail of very large human-like footprints with a long stride. No other human tracks were present, and the trail crossed a ravine from one wild area to another. They concluded the prints were made by a large bipedal creature. No creature itself was seen.
