Incident #1000082
British Columbia
Nov about 1951
Account
Bill Macky and Slim Gudell, hunting in late November, about 1951, left half a goat hanging in a tree while away overnight. Returned to find 15 to 16-inch tracks in two inches of snow, estimated just a few minutes old. The creature appeared to have slept in their leanto, and the goat was gone. Location given as 11 miles up Horse Creek, north of McBride, east of Columbia River. This doesn't work, as Columbia River is nowhere near as far north as McBride. The nearest Horse Creek is just east of Canoe River, well south of McBride but still north of the Columbia. There is a Horsey Creek closer to McBride and east of the Fraser which may be the right one, but becuse of the confusion no location is given. The incident is included in spite of the lack of location because of the story about the goat.
