Account
Andy Wilhoit said that he saw five or six prints 15 x 6 x 4 1/2", where road to Three Lakes via Bucks Lake had been regraded and watered. Some in wet squishy dirt, some in hard dry dirt, some in softer dirt. Only one really distinct, the rest similar in shape. Most showed toes. They came out of dense underbrush, across the road and into underbrush. He saw similar prints in the same area for or five years earlier.
