Account
Bill Weir and his wife, camping Shattuck Mountain (not on 1:250,000 map), on honeymoon, about 10 a.m. got a glimpse of a creature covered with dark hair, over 10 feet tall and very heavy, in the brush near camp. Later that day found one track, 19" to 20" long, and that night saw a pair of green eyes 8" to 10" apart and at least 10 feet off the ground at a spot where there were no trees.
