Incident #1001308
Bellevue, Crows Nest Pas, Alberta
Jun 1978
Account
Robert Morin, 13, was setting gopher traps when he found a huge humanlike track on a mound near a gopher hole. He called the Blairmore Pass Herald and staff members took photos and saw two sizes of prints, one 18" by 8.5" by 6.5" and 5 toes, the other 16" by 7.5" by 5.5". Some prints were found on a hillside well away from the first find. Horses that usually graze in the area have deserted it.
