Possible bigfoot footprints and whoops in Kootenai NF at Weasel Cabin 15 NE of Eureka (MT)

Two campers at a cabin campsite found a toe-bearing footprint near a creek and noticed broken branches on a nearby trail. That evening something struck the cabin with a loud impact, and later while sitting at the campfire they heard repeated whoops for several minutes followed by deep rumbling calls. After ruling out known animals, they concluded the sounds were two Sasquatch communicating.

Possible Daylight Sighting near Tizer Lakes, reported by snowmobilers

The witness was snowmobiling with two companions to dig out a stuck snowmobile when they rested in a valley meadow. He spotted a very large dark figure standing about 200 yards away behind a sparse grove of trees and called a companion over, and both watched it for over a minute. The figure remained still and faced them before they left, and it was gone when they returned hours later with no tracks or further interaction observed.

Campers describe stalking, rock-throwing and snapped trees in Lolo National Forest

The witnesses were camped for several weeks near forest land when on multiple nights they heard something large moving in brush and had rocks thrown at a tent. In daylight they found young trees broken off several feet above the ground near the camp and along the road, which they photographed. They first thought a bear was responsible but came to believe the visits were by a sasquatch.

Possible tracks found along hiking trail outside Bozeman

Two people hiking about a mile from a trailhead found two very large human-like footprints with distinct toes in soft ground beside the trail. They could not match the prints with a phone track-identification app and thought they might be Bigfoot, taking photos. An investigator later revisited the location with them but the prints had washed away in heavy rain.

Man-like figure seen running along a tree-line off Hwy. 12 near Checkerboard

The witness was driving back toward the cabin in the early afternoon when he spotted a dark figure moving along a distant tree line.

Elk hunter finds large bi-pedal tracks on Mount Baldy

While elk hunting alone on a remote snow-covered mountain slope in the morning, the witness found a line of large barefoot bipedal tracks heading uphill. The prints were substantially larger than the witness's boot and spaced about five feet apart, forcing a leap to step between them. The witness photographed one print with a boot for scale, judged the tracks to be several days old, and believed they were not made by snowshoes, bears, or another hunter due to their shape and the area's remoteness.

Deer hunter on the Flathead Indian Reservation passes a tall biped on the roadside

The witness was driving up a dead-end road in the Mission Mountains while hunting for deer in the afternoon.

He was frightened and avoided looking directly at it, then drove to the end of the road and descended quickly without seeing it again.

Photograph taken of a figure sitting by a creek outside Red Lodge

The witness was hiking with a relative in a thickly forested mountain area and photographed the upstream view of a small creek. That night while reviewing the photos, the witness noticed a large black figure apparently sitting near the creek bank about 45-50 feet away that had not been noticed at the time. A return visit with a relative found nothing at the spot, but freshly broken branches nearby, and comparison photos were taken with a person sitting in the same place for scale.

While riding a horse on a ridge, the witness saw a tall black upright figure walking below the opposite ridgeline. The witness moved higher for a better view, after which the figure turned and ran toward cover and disappeared.

The witness was outside at the horse boarding property late at night when loud screams were heard from the west toward the river.

The witnesses felt frightened and said the sound was unlike known local wildlife. No source was seen and no further sounds were heard that night.

Video taken of running biped near Avalanche in Glacier National Park

The witness was traveling through Glacier National Park in 2003 and recorded video from a tourist bridge over a river. Nothing was noticed at the time, but months later during tape review the witness saw a small figure moving downhill through trees on the far bank. A copy was sent for review, described as an apparent biped running downhill, pausing briefly behind trees before leaving sight, with very little detail due to distance.

December 1988 Walkerville, Silver Bow County, Montana Class B #1757

Two separate sets of large footprints found

The witness reports finding footprints attributed to two large creatures around a rented ranch house in frozen winter conditions. The prints were backtracked to a gulch where they overlapped earlier hiking tracks, with one set circling buildings and a smaller set staying near outbuildings. The prints broke through hard-frozen snow and ice, taken as indicating great weight, but the creatures themselves were not seen.
