Franklin County New York (Class B) BFRO

October 2022

On our way back to Paul Smith's College from our dendrology lab I noticed a large figure out the window by the powerlines. At first I thought it was a large man in a fur coat because I could see its arms, legs, head, and torso; but this creature was much too big to be a man and the fur seemed to be covering its entire body. It was about 1/3 the size of the telephone poles (about 30ft poles) that made up the powerlines and was walking enough to them for me to have a good comparison. That would make this thing about 8-10ft tall roughly. It had it's back to me and seemed to be casually "strolling" North along the path the powerlines went. It was moving slow and didn't seem spooked by any of the traffic on the road. But it was a good 100-125 yards down the powerlines so maybe that's why it wasn't spooked.
