WEST POINT, Ind. (WLFI) - An unusual discovery was made Tuesday afternoon near West Point, Indiana.

According to Tippecanoe County dispatchers, two sets of bear paws were found near the corner of County Roads 500 West and 500 South.

It's believed the paws may have been related to gear from hunters in the area.

A tip into the News 18 newsroom said blood was found on the scene.

Dispatchers would not confirm the blood but mentioned the paws appeared to be "fresh."
