Bigfoot "bed" and possible tracks in duff found

The witness reported finding a large mashed-vegetation bed with a trail of very large footprints leading to it and trees broken high up. An investigator later visited the site with the witness and observed that the tracks were in duff without toe detail and that one track location would be awkward for a biped. The investigator suggested the bed could be from a bear or elk and was not enthusiastic about the site as evidence.
