Incident #1001406
Tubac, Santa Cruz Cty, Arizona
1983
Account
Luke Gross (apparently) then 21 and a nephew, hunting quail in the lower elevations of the Santa Rita Mountains, about 50 miles South of Tucson, in an area of rolling hills and gulleys. As they topped a hill they heard a shot, and a 6.5 to 7-foot biped covered with brown hair came over the hill in front of them, ran down into a gulley and then into a canyon area. They tried to follow it, but saw only some 14-inch footprints in sand.
