strange loud howls heard by retired wildlife biologist on a camping trip.
The witness was camping and was awake in a sleeping bag in the early morning when extremely loud, bellowing two-part vocalizations were heard. One or possibly two warbling or yodeling replies followed from the same direction. A few minutes later two bursts of rifle fire were heard from that direction, and a subsequent search with spotlights up to 2 km north and south found nothing.
Two hunters recount late morning sighting near Hotchkiss
While hunting deer, the witness and companions stopped on a road overlooking a slope and watched several upright jet-black creatures for several minutes with the naked eye and optics. Two larger individuals were first seen in the open, then smaller individuals about half their size emerged from a draw. The creatures moved into brush as a pickup passed on a road below, and the witnesses later found only sliding marks in loose dirt on the steep hillside.
Various sightings by campers and ranchers along Lake Fork, a tributary of the Conejos River.
In early June 1994 the witness was fishing with two young companions at a beaver pond when an extremely loud gravelly two-toned scream was heard three times from a forested slope about 150 to 200 yards away. The witness judged the sound was not an elk or bear and left the area because the group was unarmed. The next morning the witness returned alone and found a line of very old large tracks but no definitive sign of the source.
Hikers observe animal in early evening near Blanca Peak
Two companions lagging behind a larger hiking group returning from a mountain lake saw a tall light-grey figure leap between trees about 30-60 yards away. The figure showed clearly visible arms and legs, moved very quickly and made no sound. The witnesses first thought it was a relative playing a trick, but found that relative already back at camp, and they ruled out deer, sheep, elk or bear. Rain that night prevented any follow-up search for tracks.

The witness and a relative were hunting elk when they followed a strong smell and clashing rock sounds to a ridge.

The witness drove off a gravel road to follow an old trail and entered a small meadow around noon. A hair-covered juvenile rose from behind a log, glanced at him, then dropped to all fours and walked quickly into the treeline.

Hunter recalls unusual and persistent vocalizations at Carson Lake on the Grand Mesa
Two companions were setting up camp for the night after hunting when they heard prolonged loud screaming from across a lake. One fired a shot in the air, after which the sound briefly stopped then resumed closer and louder with brush thrashing heard. Feeling unnerved, they packed up and drove out the same evening. The writer later felt televised alleged Bigfoot vocalizations sounded similar.

Three people in two pickups crested a hill at dawn and noticed a fresh set of large tracks looping across an open hillside in new snow.

The account was relayed secondhand by a close friend of one of the men.

During a nighttime military training patrol the witness became separated from the unit and cut through a wooded area to intercept them. Rounding a bend in the trail, the witness encountered a tall light-brown hair-covered figure standing on the trail about 10 feet away.

Family describes possible encounter at campsite in Grizzly Creek Canyon
The witness was camping with family in a canyon. At night around the campfire they smelled a strong foul odor, the dogs barked toward the darkness, and loud guttural vocalizations came from just outside the firelight two or three times.

Four bowhunters bugling for elk heard a powerful howl they said was not an elk and was not made by their own party.
