Bowhunters report unusual encounters in the South San Juan Mountains
A bow hunter located his downed elk after dark and heard a large heavy animal moving nearby in brush. The animal circled him and stayed close despite shouting, then seemed to follow him as he hiked back to camp. After retrieving a handgun at camp he heard footsteps again and rushed toward them, hearing something crash away. The next morning he returned to find the elk carcass untouched.
Report of a field investigation over several days
Three researchers camped in a remote timbered drainage in early August 1998 to study suspected sasquatch activity. Over two afternoons they heard loud primate-like calls and screams around camp, and during two nights they heard conversational vocalizations, rhythmic rock-clicking, and stealthy footfalls that alarmed horses. They also detected red eyeshine and later found a fresh animal bed overlooking the camp. They left early, concluding no conclusive evidence was obtained but the area warranted further investigation.
