Series of loud vocalizations from two sources heard in the Yellowjacket Mountains

The witness and a relative camped at the end of a forest road and prepared to sleep in their tent.

Minutes after the sounds stopped, a foul rotting odor drifted through camp while the forest remained completely silent.

Winter hikers find trail of footprints near Clark Fork

Two companions hiked through deep snow toward a waterfall in winter and found a trail of very large human-like footprints with a long stride. No other human tracks were present, and the trail crossed a ravine from one wild area to another. They concluded the prints were made by a large bipedal creature. No creature itself was seen.

Daylight sighting by a wood cutter on a logging road in the Mts. above Oakley

Tracks in Idaho (1998)

Years later the witness and a hunting partner took horses into a wilderness area for a multi-day hunt. While scouting alone on a high ridgetop, he found five large barefoot tracks along a snowdrift that punched through snow that held his own weight. He brought his partner to see them, and the partner became nervous, so they packed up and rode out through the night.

Possible sighting at night by bowhunters near Crooked Creek outside Dubois

The witness and a hunting companion were talking in the bed of a pickup while camped after bow hunting near Crooked Creek on a bright moonlit night.

Two Hunters hear screams from forest and see a sasquatch, find mangled trees and brush as evidence the next morning

The witness and a companion were at a remote camp in the evening when they heard a loud mule-like wailing scream and then saw a tall hairy creature with a relatively hairless face in a spotlight. The creature showed eye reflection, covered its eyes from the light, braced between two small trees with large hairless-palmed hands, then shambled away. The pair heard movement around camp all night and the next day found freshly twisted tree limbs nearby but no usable tracks due to dry ground.

Winter 1987 Bonner’s Ferry, Boundary County, Idaho Class B #2060

Hunter experiences terrifying scream.

While walking to a duck blind in the early morning, the witness and companions heard trees snapping and movement in nearby timber. Later, while walking back alone to the truck for shells, the witness again heard branches breaking and movement paralleling him that stopped when he stopped. When he raised his empty shotgun toward the sound, a loud long guttural scream echoed through the trees, which companions back at the pond also heard, terrifying the witness who ran to lock himself in the truck.
