Clinton, Lillooet, British Columbia
1959
Account
H. Dudeck told N.J. Dyck that in 1959 he was hunting in the Clinton-Lillooet area when he saw some massive legs covered with yellowish-brown hair protruding from behind a stump. He froze in his tracks for a few minutes, then retreated without ever seeing the torso or head. After a couple of hours he returned and followed huge foot tracks in the snow to a ravine.
