Memory told of a possible daylight sighting while driving deer on a farm east of Iron River witnessed in Iron County, Michigan

Open Map

The sighting that occurred in the late 1960s was in an area which is off Hwy US 2 between Iron River and Crystal Falls. This is where my brothers and I grew up. At the very end of the road, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 miles in, is an old farm. My brothers and I, as kids, were driving deer in mid November during hunting season. My brother was posted along the western fence line of a 40 that is 1/4 mile farther than the end of the road and then 1/4 mile or slightly more west. (I have looked for this 40 acres on google earth recently and it shows up very well. You can still see the fence line.) My step-uncle raised beef so all his 40s were well fenced with 4 or 5 strands of barbed wire and roads along all the fence lines. As we were maybe half way through our drive, two deer came running towards us and jumped the northern fence line. When we finished the drive and I talked to my brother he was excited and scared, he said he saw an abominable snowman. We didn't know about bigfoots back then. ...
