Teddy Roosevelt and either Daniel Boone or another famous early American frontiersman tell stories of them. TR was told the story he shares, apparently first hand account from an old trapper in the Montana region he met and sincerely believed in his tale. Boone's is supposedly a primary account. Both are very interesting and lend to the possibility of something corporeal in form (ie. as opposed to demon); however, plenty of claims about their being a demonic nature to them and it seems to resonate as people who go in search of it/them tend to be genuinely chilled by whatever it is that they've pursued to the point of it confronting them. Have you seen the fairly recent video clip (from just a few years ago) of one moving across deep snow on a peak of the Wabash mountain range? It's a beautiful, sunny day and there is no way that something could've accessed that location by foot, it's as if appeared on the peak through supernatural means.
I think I did see that video. I know that team of biologist stopped searching and abandoned their research after that encounter and really didn't want to talk about it
Corey worked with some biologist from a northern California university starting in the late 70's. Corey was fluent with wilderness areas due to gold mining and became a guide for the biologist. What they saw when they had a confrontation with a 3 toe made them abandon their research and they didn't talk about those details, just claimed it was demonic. It's been about 40 years or so and I don't remember too many details except they were somewhere near the Stanislaus or American River. My personal experience was a 4 toe track and in the San Gabriel wilderness area. There's a dam at the south end (I forget the name) and it was empty and the service road was in disrepair and not open to the public. Myself and Lyle had gone north of the dam up a tight canyon and found a natural spring that appeared for about 200' and disappeared into the sand. The quantity of bear and mountain lion tracks (as well as raccoon, coyote and everything else you could imagine) around the water made us go up the cliff (to the west of the water) for the night because that was the only water in the area in August. Our instincts were correct and we heard battles at the water all night long and we could watch the fights when the moon illuminated the area. It was about 3 days past a full moon and we didn't get that light until about 1am. I don't believe those biologist ever produced a paper on the subject. I think they were grad students and had lots of nice equipment. Something about the 3 toe scared the crap out of them to the point of not wanting anything to do with the subject

what team of biologists are you referring to? sorry, not familiar with the story and curious. thanks in advance

Oh, and I believe the name is the west fork of the San Gabriel River, take it west to the dam and then north up the tight canyon
