Young family on afternoon outing find footprints east of Pendleton, Oregon

The witness and her husband drove a remote track until a stream blocked their car and then explored on foot along the bank. The witness reported a strong feeling of being watched from a wooded hillside and then found a very large human-like footprint in ground too firm to show their own tracks. Her husband confirmed the print, she found two more, and they left quickly without taking photos.

Elk hunters find two sets of bare-foot tracks in the snow near Palmer Junction

While elk hunting, the witness and companions walked a logging road to meet another party member and found very large tracks in hardened snow that wandered on and off the road. The tracks came in two sizes, crushed the snow to the gravel, and had not been present that morning. The third party member had also noticed the tracks independently, and the group did not follow them and returned to camp.

Bow hunter describes possible tracks, sounds and scat north of Lake Butler

The witness was archery hunting from a ground blind near a hog wallow when he heard close grunting and breathing that he could not see. After the sounds stopped he inspected the area and found very large scat and large deep tracks leading to and away from the scat. He first assumed hogs and then a very large bear made the sign, but later judged the scat too large for a Florida black bear.

BFRO YEAR: 1973-1974? Elgin, Union County, Oregon Class B #27711

Woman recalls her possible sighting while deer hunting near Elgin

While waiting on stand during a rifle deer hunt, the witness watched a brown man-like figure walk upright into view and stop beside a lone pine tree, feeling it was looking at her. After a few seconds the figure dropped to all fours and left her view. Minutes later her brother appeared in the same spot, looking much smaller and dressed differently, convincing her the earlier figure was neither her brother nor a bear.
