Sasquatch sighting in Idaho (2003)

During the annual week-long elk hunt with his long-time hunting partner, the witness waited in a concealed roadside alcove while his partner still-hunted the opposite side of a brushy clearcut canyon and reported via radio a dark upright figure moving toward the witness. The figure crossed the road about 30 yards from the witness in a few silent steps and dropped into the canyon, after which both hunters left for camp. After returning on ATVs to measure a branch the figure had passed under they saw the figure standing across the canyon watching them before it walked into timber, after which they packed up and the witness stopped hunting.

September 2001 Stanley, Custer County, Idaho Class B #13717

Possible vocalizations heard by staff at Redfish Lake near Stanley

Around midnight in September, the witness was walking between facilities when loud growl-to-scream vocalizations began from a creek bed about 300 yards away. The calls repeated 10-15 times over 15-20 minutes while the source seemed to move nearer, farther, and side to side. The witness brought a neighbor outside so both heard the sounds, then returned to the cabin and kept weapons close. A next-day search of the creek bed found no tracks or other sign.

Multiple witnesses see multiple figures on the edge of a small lake in the Mallard Larkins Roadless Area

Two hikers on a trail above a mountain lake at midday looked down and saw two brown fur-covered bipeds standing with a quadruped in grass by the water.

The hikers watched for about 15 seconds until the group entered trees and then debated what they had seen without approaching.

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.

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

The witness was cutting firewood and loading blocks into a truck when a very foul odor suddenly appeared. Looking around, the witness saw a brown-furred biped about 100 feet away walking up a slope out of a ravine with its back turned. The creature briefly steadied itself with a hand on a tree and continued uphill without looking at the witness. Frightened, the witness finished loading quickly and left the area.

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. About 20 yards away they watched a two-legged figure peek from behind a cottonwood tree, then run to hide behind another cottonwood. Feeling unsafe with only a bow, they shouted about having guns and then left, driving 25 miles to sleep elsewhere.

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.
