Incident #991458
Medicine Park, Comanche Cty, Oklahoma
Mar 1974
Account
At 4,000 feet on top of Elk Mountain in Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, Bill Hoffman and wife followed on the trail to the summit three sets of tracks, 13 to 15", 12 to 14" and 7 to 9". On the wet, grassy summit, the largest tracks sank an inch, the middle set half an inch and the small ones just crushed the grass. Nearby there was a pile of dark brown to black faeces, pellets the size of a walnut. Bark was stripped off trees from about 6 feet up. On the way down Hoffman heard high pitched barks, yelps and howls and thought he was being followed.
