Large, barefoot, bipedal tracks found by trapper in a densely forested area

Weeks later an investigator toured the area with the witness and later found two additional tracks in soil, one estimated at 16 inches long with five toes visible and no claw marks.

November 1999 Whitehall, Washington County, New York Class B #15398

Possible tracks & smell noticed by hunter at Black Mountain outside Whitehall

The witness was deer hunting along a logging road in a mountainous area in 1999 when he noticed wide, footlike tracks in mud and a sudden strong foul odor. The smell dissipated quickly but was unlike anything he had encountered before, including bear odor. The toe details of the tracks were obscured by mud, preventing determination of claws or other features. He reported feeling unsettled and later told family and hunting companions.
