Montpelier, Bear Lake Cty, Idaho

Account
On elk hunt in Elk Valley, waiting after descending slope into clearing, saw at 100 yards three erect, dark brown creatures walking rapidly down a trail. Tallest first, then one almost as tall, then smallest (but no size given). Smallest seemed hard put to keep up. Leader turned and waved arm as if to hurry it. Speedwalked into the timber.
