Notes from the Colorado BFRO Expedition

During a daytime hike up a drainage on 10 Sept, the witness stopped at an old hunting camp and heard two clear wood knocks about 150-200 yards away. After confirming by radio that no other participants were nearby or knocking, the witness knocked back and received an immediate two-knock reply from slightly farther away. Further knocks and whoops over about 30 minutes drew no additional replies, and no movement or odor was noticed. The witness then returned to camp and later revisited the area by ATV with others.

Man Hears Evening Vocals in Prior Sighting Area

Late at night the witness heard loud, complex bark- and growl-like vocalizations coming from a ravine near the house. The sounds were described as louder and more structured than dogs, coyotes, or other familiar animals, and local dogs began barking during the episode. An attempted audio recording failed, and the sounds eventually stopped. The next day the witness found trampled vegetation, a coyote carcass, tarp pieces, a dog dish, and scat near the estimated sound source.

Family finds trackway near Bear Valley

The witness was driving with family on a snow-covered road near Bear Valley looking for a sledding spot. About a mile from Highway 4 they noticed a line of large deep impressions in the snow on the shoulder and stopped to examine them. The impressions lacked toe detail after melting and freezing, measured about 16 inches long, and formed a straight line with strides of 56 to 60 inches that the witness could not match. The witness photographed the trail and submitted it as a possible track trail.
