OBSERVED: I was hunting Elk with my Bro in Law. Up in Chalk Creek. That is in Summit County in Utah. 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 gutteral 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 used to work at Lagoon in Farmington. It’s an amusement park. I used to feed the animals down there. They had a Leapord that would growl at you when you walked by it’s cage. That growl was almost just like what I heard on that mountain. I have been in the hills all my life, and have never seen or heard anything like that.
OTHER WITNESSES: My brother in Law
OTHER STORIES: Yes I was at an Archery shop last Fall, and I told this story to a freind. Half way through the story. He said ” Your not going to tell me a Bigfoot Story “. I had not even mentioned it to him. He told me that I was the second person he had heard to see one, in the same area.
TIME AND CONDITIONS: It was at dusk
ENVIRONMENT: Pine forest, and Quaken Aspen

“LOCATION DETAILS: It’s a CWMU..”
I’ll plead ignorant here.. I’ve never heard of something called a “CWMU.” I know, Google is my friend but I want the Writer’s explanation. Make that son of a gun or “girl of a gun” earn their MILLIONS! haha

My sister who grew up in California the first half of her life and then married Mormon who is a avid Elk hunter have lived and hunted in Montana,Utah,and Wyoming ,and she thinks I’m crazy for mentioning Sasquatch as they don’t believe in it ,now that’s very hard for me since I have encountered the unknown cryptid 3 times I incident being followed down a logging road and 1 incident with multiple vocalizations in the Shasta National Forest on two different occasions 3 years apart and within a mile of the other ,and 1 incident of vocalizations in the Redwood Nation Forest.both incidents of vocalizations were about 5 years apart and are known as the SNOHOMISH,PUYALLUP,KLAMATH vocalizations point is my sister doesn’t believe in all that because her husband is a Mormon elk hunter and he doesn’t believe in it ,it’s still hard on me However my other sister works for a certain Government agency and she says there is no doubt in her mind that Bigfoot or Sasquatch exist .that helps.

I believe These things do follow the elk herds and all I care about is that my nephews are safe because they elk hunt as well but they do not believe in it when I asked the eldest nephew what he thought – he thought I was pulling his leg!,this frustrates me because my experience of be followed down a logging road in the middle of the night was the most traumatizing thing that I have ever dealt with period end of story nothing compares.
