Incident #1001203
Grangeville, Idaho Cty, Idaho
Oct 1974
Account
Bob Rose and Danny Rose, cousins, were deer hunting on an old skid road that separated timbered mountains on the East from pastureland to the West, 6 or 7 miles South of Grangeville, when they came on six large tracks in two inches of dust on the hard road. The tracks were too scattered to determine a stride, but general direction was Northeasterly along the edge of the timber. Next day Danny made a cast. Dimensions were 15" by 8.5" at the toes, 7.75" at the ball and 4" at the heel.
