Incident #1001179
Libby, Lincoln Cty, Montana
Feb 1986
Account
Larry Davis quoted John Erickson saying that he found 16 to 17-inch tracks sunk deep in hard snow behind his woodpile and followed them through the neighbourhood, across Hwy 2 and up into the Purcell Range. They took 6-foot strides. His German shepherd dog had behaved hysterically the preceding night, trying to get in the house and then hiding under the house.
