2004 Summit County, UT
I was hunting Elk with my brother in law. We had been in this deep canyon for some time. It was getting dark, so we heeded out of it. I can still see this in my head,..We were climbing up out of a small draw onto a flat meadow. As we got to the top of it. We both saw something very black in color move into a small stand of pine trees. It let out a huge Whoooff sort of sound as it went in. Also it moved a pine bow that flipped from the ground to about five feet in the air. My Bro in law said ” What the Heck was that”!!! As he put a shell into the chamber. This stand of pines was no bigger than a front yard. There was a clearing behind it. I have thought on this for some time. I think that we came in contact with it. And we surprised each other. The creature was to our left, and we had a Beaver Dam to our right. The thing was about 30 feet away from us in the pines. We were on a Deer path between the pond and the pines. We backed up, and this thing let out a low guttural growl at us. You could hear it’s teeth chatter also. I have felt fear in my life, but a sense of evil came over me. On the way home we talked about what we had saw. We were so close to this thing. I know for a fact it was not a Bear or Moose. A Bear does not move that fast on it’s hind legs. I have been in the hills all my life, and have never seen or heard anything like that.
Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Todd Strong:
The witness has worked as a licensed hunting guide and a wildlife artist. When the incident occurred, it was still light enough to be considered shooting light. They surprised the creature by walking with the wind in their face. The animal could not see them because of the grade of the hill until the pair of hunters stepped into the clearing, whereupon the animal “whoofed” at them, moving a pine bough out of its way as it walked into the trees. They could not see the entire body of the creature, only from about 5 ft. off the ground, or from its hips on up. Estimated height was about 9 ft. The witness is adamant that this was an animal moving upright, on two legs. They never saw the creature again, but then they heard it growl. At the end of the growl it clicked its teeth together. The witness said it reminded him of the way a cornered dog would growl at you, and how some dogs finish a growl by chattering their teeth together.The animal’s coat looked like jet black hair, not fur. It scared them enough that they left. I found this witness to be credible and an experienced outdoorsman.

Wes when they say the thing let out a woof as it moved into the pines, I thought of the audio you played for us with the male and female Sasquatch arguing over what we guess to be a food item with the female being the victor and the male letting out a series of what seemed like frustration woofs and grunts,I wonder if the Sasquatch was onto some kind of food source when the elk hunters startled it and so it had to stop what it was doing and retreat to the safety of the pine trees but not before letting out a frusrtrated woof kinda like when we tell are kids it’s time to come in and do your homework or clean your room ,we get the usual protest-I don’t want to clean my room, I wonder if the woof means I’m mad ,I’m frustrated?

I live in Utah and have been investigating an area 90 miles from Salt Lake, we have found some prints and some tree branch snaps,
this area has had several sighting over the last numbers of years, it is a very creepy place and 2weeks ago I got a strange thing on film..I saw something move out of the conner of my eye and started filming in this dark area of the thicket…when I got home and looked at the vid there was these 2 eyes looking back at me..this drove me crazy so a few days later I went back up to look in the dark area but found nothing…we will be in this area for the rest of the summer to see what we come up with…Les Strode spent the night up in this canyon on his May Bigfoot show and told the rancher that runs cattle in there and he told me that he(Les) never wants to go in that canyon again…
its one spooky place.

I’ve often wondered how a Sasquatch would react
if it came in contact with a Silverback Gorilla?
Wow Greg O, maybe you should be talking to Wes:)
Papa - Yeti
Another great report Wes, thanks for posting and as well providing that awesome picture. I am quite curtain that scared hunting dog, is not going to give that Sasquatch’s hiding spot away.
