Man recalls finding possible tracks and trees stripped of bark while hunting and stationed at Leavenworth

The witness went deer hunting before dawn on the Missouri side of the river after fresh snow. He found large human-like barefoot tracks in the snow and followed them a short distance.

He did not see the trackmaker and stopped tracking to continue hunting.

Recollections of numerous encounters at a logging camp during the Great Depression

The reporter recounts stories his parents told about a logging camp in the early 1930s shortly after their 1932 marriage. After an initial close approach to another woman in camp, a large hairy human-like creature was seen repeatedly in the evenings, at times leaning on a parked truck and running upright faster than dogs. The father prevented others from shooting it because it looked too human.
