Report 16470: Husband and wife recall daylight sighting while scouting for deer near Cave Spring off of Monte Cristo

In 1977 I lived in Utah and my wife and kids went hunting in the mountains. we set up camp and we were a couple of days early for the season to start. My wife and I decided to go out and scout the area. We were going down a ridge line and out stepped another animal. This time I have a witness of seeing the creature. by the time we made it down to were it was it was gone. later that night it snowed. during the night I heard the animal going around our tent. the next morning there was huge tracks going around our tent. we never seen or heard of the animal again.
