Tribal members on Rocky Boy Indian Reservation record a Bigfoot encounter

Four companions were at a forest picnic camping area late at night and tried wood knocks after noticing eyeshine. Two companions left the vehicle with lights and encountered a very tall hair-covered figure that stepped from behind a tree, looked at them, then walked away slowly. After retreating to the vehicle, the group saw a brown shape crawling toward them and drove away quickly. A companion recorded video of the encounter on a phone.

Possible bigfoot footprints and whoops in Kootenai NF at Weasel Cabin 15 NE of Eureka (MT)

Two campers at a cabin campsite found a toe-bearing footprint near a creek and noticed broken branches on a nearby trail. That evening something struck the cabin with a loud impact, and later while sitting at the campfire they heard repeated whoops for several minutes followed by deep rumbling calls. After ruling out known animals, they concluded the sounds were two Sasquatch communicating.

Possible Daylight Sighting near Tizer Lakes, reported by snowmobilers

The witness was snowmobiling with two companions to dig out a stuck snowmobile when they rested in a valley meadow. He spotted a very large dark figure standing about 200 yards away behind a sparse grove of trees and called a companion over, and both watched it for over a minute. The figure remained still and faced them before they left, and it was gone when they returned hours later with no tracks or further interaction observed.

Campers describe stalking, rock-throwing and snapped trees in Lolo National Forest

The witnesses were camped for several weeks near forest land when on multiple nights they heard something large moving in brush and had rocks thrown at a tent. In daylight they found young trees broken off several feet above the ground near the camp and along the road, which they photographed. They first thought a bear was responsible but came to believe the visits were by a sasquatch.

Daylight sighting by motorists near the Flathead River

Two occupants driving toward Missoula in morning daylight spotted a very tall, uniformly black bipedal figure moving rapidly across an open hillside across the highway and river. The driver watched it with binoculars while the passenger attempted cell-phone photos, observing for about two to two-and-a-half minutes as it crossed right to left then turned uphill with long strides and swinging arms. Both described it as much larger than a person and moving at a running pace despite a relaxed walking gait.

30 May 2016 Between Bozeman And Livingston, Gallatin County, Montana Class B #51959

Possible tracks found along hiking trail outside Bozeman

Two people hiking about a mile from a trailhead found two very large human-like footprints with distinct toes in soft ground beside the trail. They could not match the prints with a phone track-identification app and thought they might be Bigfoot, taking photos. An investigator later revisited the location with them but the prints had washed away in heavy rain.

Possible daylight sighting while driving on a rural road between Helena and Great Falls

The witness was driving on a private dirt road in the morning when he noticed a black two-legged figure about a quarter-mile away walking across a side road with an unusual sauntering, swinging gait. He stopped and backed up for a better view, but the figure was gone. Investigators later visited, measured the crossing, and recreated the figure from memory as much larger than a human, about 8'7" tall with very long arms and no visible clothing lines.

Sasquatch sighting near Swan Lake, Montana (2013)

The witness, an experienced hunter, was driving with his family in daytime when he spotted a large bipedal figure standing beyond a fence by a dirt road. He and his wife both watched it briefly and were unable to identify it as a known animal. He later turned around, examined the tall fence, and concluded the figure must have been far taller and wider than a human.

Elk hunter finds large bi-pedal tracks on Mount Baldy

While elk hunting alone on a remote snow-covered mountain slope in the morning, the witness found a line of large barefoot bipedal tracks heading uphill. The prints were substantially larger than the witness's boot and spaced about five feet apart, forcing a leap to step between them. The witness photographed one print with a boot for scale, judged the tracks to be several days old, and believed they were not made by snowshoes, bears, or another hunter due to their shape and the area's remoteness.

Photograph taken of a figure sitting by a creek outside Red Lodge

The witness was hiking with a relative in a thickly forested mountain area and photographed the upstream view of a small creek. That night while reviewing the photos, the witness noticed a large black figure apparently sitting near the creek bank about 45-50 feet away that had not been noticed at the time. A return visit with a relative found nothing at the spot, but freshly broken branches nearby, and comparison photos were taken with a person sitting in the same place for scale.

Photo taken of a possible print near Lake Esler and memory told of a daylight sighting near Deerhead Lake

The witness had left a truck stuck and flooded in overflow water near a lake in late June 2012. When he returned the next morning with friends to tow it out, they found a large, very fresh footprint about 30 feet from the truck. They photographed the print with a hat for scale and speculated it had come down a ravine to look at the truck before stepping over a snowbank into the woods.

Close daylight sighting and multiple incidents near a home north of Helena

Early one fall morning the witness opened a door to let dogs out and saw a large hairy biped near the well head a short distance away.

After standing face-to-face for a couple of minutes, it turned and walked away downhill on two legs. A partner inside heard the vocalization from bed.
