Account
D.R.N. on a late deer hunt in Sulpher Canyon off Caribou Basin was dragging a deer back to his snowmobile when he noticed a figure coming downhill across the canyon about a quarter mile away. Thinking it was his partner he went towards it, and came within 35 yards before it noticed him, when it recoiled with an "oh shit" expression. Both went back the way they came. Est. 6.5 to 7 ft. tall, 250 lb., covered with silver coyote colored hair 3 in. long, longer on the backs of the arms.
