Account
Martin Kuchursky was swathing hay on his farm 8 miles from Long Plains Indian Reserve, just south of the Assiniboine River. He watched for 15 minutes as a brown biped, over 7 ft., covered 3/8 of a mile walking toward his parked truck, then angled off to bush near the river. Eight footprints later found 2" deep in fresh-tilled soil. Human prints 1/2 inch. It was taller than the cab of his pickup truck.
