Narrative of report:  

I was out walking in the woods with a friend <deleted>.  He was looking for old bottles when we came across the tracks in a stream bed. The stream was damp but held no water because of a drought. The tracks came out of the woods and stepped across the stream bed at an angle and stepped across one strand of barbed wire approximately belt buckle high and I am six feet tall; and never touched the wire; and then stepped across the stream bed to the other side - approximately 5 tracks were left in the stream bed-

We came back a couple of days later and put plaster in the tracks.  I went back by myself just looking around after we put the plaster down and had retrieved the tracks and heard a shrill bird sound but it really wasn't a bird. The sound was weird but really got my attention and my friend went back one day and heard something running in the woods. We have never seen anything but the tracks but look forward to seeing a Bigfoot.  It is desolate where we found the tracks- real backwoodsy- we hope to get a picture of whatever made the tracks.

Follow up:   Witness states the tracks were 17 1/2 by 7 1/2 inches, 16 by 7 1/2 inches, and 14 by 9 inches.  He supplied pictures of the plaster casts.
