BFRO YEAR: Early 70's San Gabriel Mountains, Los Angeles County, California Class A #325

Early 70's, Sighting by a deer hunter, off of Highway # 2, in the San Grabriel Mountains

Two hunting companions in a steep canyon area reported watching a brown figure about 700 yards away across the canyon. The figure reportedly stood up and walked on two legs uphill with a slumped posture for about five to six seconds before going out of sight, at one point possibly dropping to all fours on steeper ground. The witnesses first thought it was a person or a bear but felt its walk looked too odd for either. The encounter is said to have occurred on a clear warm afternoon in the fall in the early 1970s.
