A very tall figure in Douglas County, Oregon
I was walking in the woods behind my house in Lookingglass, near the Callahan Mountains during the late afternoon/evening.

I followed the animals' route several days later for about 20 yards after it disappeared and found a faint footprint. It was enough to make out the characteristics. Five toes and I would estimate that it was larger than Shaq's foot by a long shot. I walked along the fence line for a while and I couldn't see any holes. There were some parts of the fence though, that the animal could have just stepped over, being that big (8ft approx).
