12 June 2005 Sisters, Deschutes County, Oregon Class A #11886

Tracks found south of the Warm Springs Reservation (REPORT UPDATED)

A couple out fishing and scouting for elk followed animal tracks and noticed a strong bad odor, white coarse hair covering a stump, and very large deep footprints around a wallow leading toward a creek. They estimated the prints were about a day old and also noted scarred trees and broken branches in the area. Frightened by the size and strangeness of the signs, they left and reported the experience right away.

Memory told of a daylight sighting while fishing a creek near Crescent Lake Junction

The witness was fishing alone up a creek in the afternoon when he came within about 25 yards of a large hair-covered figure resting against a stump. The two made eye contact for several seconds before both fled in opposite directions, the figure running up the creek. The witness described it as a clear daylight sighting and did not return to look for traces.
