Sasquatch Encounter While Elk Hunting in North Idaho
I (57 male) was elk hunting in the mountains of north Idaho last night. I was sitting on a somewhat open ridge where several game trails cross about 2 hours before dark. Had been watching down the east side for about an hour or so while the sun was dropping behind the mountains. I could see about 100 to 200 yards through the timber with low brush. The timber is pretty open do to being logged several years ago.
After I had been there and hour or so, I heard 3 knocks coming from somewhere below me to the east. After a minute or so there's were 3 more knocks only closer. This went on 5 times total each time only 3 knocks and each time closer. Only the last time there was 3 knocks then after a few seconds a single knock. This was just over the edge where I couldn't see. I then heard what I can only describe as voices in and unintelligible sound. Not yelling or growling but almost like conversation. It sounded like at least 2 of somthong talking.
This was in a area with no cell signal so my phone was off. I pulled it out and while it was turning on I saw movement down the ridge about 75 to 100 yards away. I looked that way and saw what I am sure was not a bear moving through the trees. It was dark, more of a silowet in the trees. It was upright on 2 legs. The body was big heavy set wide shoulders, couldn't make out a neck. The head was big and the chin set low closer to its chest. Its arms were long well below the waist. I couldn't make out the legs in the underbrush. The whole thing was covered with hair. It was big I'd say it least twice my size. I'm 6'1" and 240lbs. This thing was at least 1.5 or 2 feet taller than me, and probably a foot wider. It moved rapidly across an open area about maybe 45 to 50 yards across and disapeared from sight. This all happened before my phone powered up and I didn't get another chance at a picture.
The light was starting to faid pretty fast buy this time and I really didn't want to be going down to the pickup in the dark after that. So I started working my way down off the north end of the ridge twards the road. I became instantly aware that it was following me. I could hear sticks and pine needles snap and rustle above me just out of sight. By the time I reached the pickup it was pretty dim light, and I was a bit nervous and jumpy.
Had to wait for my son who was on the next ridge over. He got there about 5 minutes after I tooted the horn. When he got there he said I thought I heard a couple of tree knocks. Then I filled him in on what I incountered. We set there for a bit listening but didn't see or hear anything else.
We went back up there this morning to look for tracks. We found sign were something had gone through where I saw it but couldn't make out any distinct tracks. I don't know for sure if there was more than one but I believe there was at least 2. This makes 3 times now that I have seen a Sasquach. But this was the first time I felt nervous or frightened by them. I set up trail cameras in the area so hopefully I might get a picture of one.

Answer:
I'm living in north Idaho, any chance you could give me a general location? I'd love to check it out.
