Incident #1001414
Savery, Carbon Cty, Wyoming
Sep 1989
Account
Low credibility assigned because with an inch of new snow on the ground it seems there should have been tracks as well as a sighting. Mark and friend were gathering firewood in a dense patch of forest in Medicine Bow National Forest, 10 or 15 miles from the Colorado border and 5 or 600 yards from the Roaring Fork of the Little Snake River. They saw a 7 to 8-foot hairy animal only 10 or 15 yards ahead in thicker timber and it ran in front of them for 30 or 40 yards until they lost sight in the fog. It was on two legs the whole time.
