Encounter::

Number of Witnesses: four
Length of Observation: tracks only
Myself and three family members were small game hunting in the wooded, swampy area off south
greenfield road, about 4″ of snow on the ground, we came across large footlike tracks. The shocker was the distance between the tracks, about 2X the gait of an adult male, 4-5 ft between the steps, bipedal, humanlike except for the size and length of step, we followed the tracks for appx 1/2 mile, then went a different direction. Even today we jokingly refer to the time we found the “bigfoot tracks”, but I never had a better explanation.
