Big Feets have been sighted south of where I live by by credable people.

I'll make a confession to all of you...I'm very concerned about haveing an encounter with one, to the point it's keeping me from going hunting.

Where I hunt is where they've been sighted. My Step Father has seen the distruction they can do looking for food in rotted logs though they eat a lot of grass'es and vegatation to.

I've had an encounter with something in a swappy area before. It was about 50 yards behind me and growled VERY deeply as it thrashed around breaking limbs kinda like it was fighting something back behind me.
It was Loud and seemed to be moveing around makeing all this noise.

I had my Remington 742 30-06 with me Deer hunting and I'm sitting on a log wondering is that 2 Buck Deer fighting yet buck Deer don't growl like this animal was.
I thought, was it a Bear ?

We didn't have Bear then. I was getting scard so I silently made my way to a power line right of way which was about 30 yards from where I was sitting and high tailed it out of there and have never went back !

Do I believe in Big Foots ? I want to believe they exist but it just doesn't seem logical for them to exist.

I do believe something is out there because credable people are seeing something and because of it, when I do go hunting I'm mindful of the possible existance of Big Foots so I prepare myself for if I were to have an encounter.

I'm well armed !

Some members here know I'm a Christain and try to be funny sometimes But in regards to what I've just typed I swear to you all, that critter I had an encounter with was one mad, bad thing makeing a statement to get me to leave and I gladly did !

Was it a Big Foot ? I'll just say what else could it have been.

Haveing time to think about this I've concluded if it were a Big Foot I most of been close to where it lived because you just had to be there to hear what I heard.

Folks thank you for all the stories and I have no idea of what you saw. I also don't know what exists in many of these isolated places. The Comanche had legends of of large hairy animals which walked on two feet in the Big Thicket area and the East Texas pine forests.
Personally, if I ever encountered such, unless it was attempting to harm someone, I would leave it alone. Let legends lay.

Heres another thing, for a long time people said that it was impossible for Brown bears and Polor bears to bread because they live far enuph apart they "shouldnt" ever come close enuph, well just last year I believe there was a guy in Canada shot a bear that was white but was shaped like a brown bear with very light brown patches above its eyes and around its feet. He took in some hair samples from it and sent them into a DNA analasys place (not sure where) but they sent back results showing it had both Brown bear and Polor bear DNA in its DNA makup. They said do to the changing climates up north the some polor bears may be moving inland and adapting to a mainland type of life style instead of living on the pack ice. I heard about it on Monster Quest and looked it up on the net to find a diffrent source to back it up. Now I dont believe every thing on that show so dont think I do lol but I do think its interesting because they do bring up some pretty good info on their show. Any ways My point is a bear that isnt suppose to exist does, so what else Exists that "Shouldnt" ?

I believe most sightings are by hunter/sportsman. Outdoormans know animals and their actions or reactions to humans. When you have reports that sportsman see something different, they sometimes don't believe what they see or have seen! That is what I find so credable about this and makes me beleive.

The 3 friends I mentioned before had an encounter like you did. They were hunting a plot of land and it was near dusk. They were walking out and something was following them. They all heard something big walking towards them thrashing things and approaching them. They said they will never get near there ever again!

I have spent a good bit of time in really remote areas biking, offroading, and camping. I have never felt threaten or the need to carry something bigger than a buck knive and a handful of firecrackers. I have friends yell at me recently because of not being armed.

I have 2 family members get the feeling that at night and being outside they are being watched by something. They won't spend anytime outside unless I'm outside. Myself I don't get that feeling. Anybody had that feeling or comment come up??

I haven't had that feeling yet BUT if someone was to jump out from behind a tree and say BOO I'd probably chit all over myself while shooting them... Beep Beep !!!...A.H

[AllAlaskan]

I had told my Dad about what I had seen on the creek bank,he smiled and said did you shoot at It? He knew I allways packed a pistol when I went fishing at night(most allways by myself)I told him I had my Rugger .22 auto pistol but it was walking away from me and I just watched,he said good and that people better leave them alone because there might be more of them than people think,and because they have done nobody any harm it would be best to leave them alone.I agreed.

The way I see it. If I were to come nose to nose with one of them critters, it wouldn't have nothing to worry about !!!! !!!! !!!!


Edit: That is as long as It didn't mess with me...I'd whip his ass !!!!!!

I did see a episode of Monsterquest where they had a BF breaking into a remote cabin in Canada. They had reports of rock throwing when people vistited. The cabin was pretty remote and only accessable by float plane. They get a DNA sample off a board of nails (a trap to keep it out of the cabin)

1. I didn't know what a Hogzillas was till a while back!

2. Marine biologists have "finally proved" discovered giant squids actually exist! I guess those old sailors were right!

My take is this. Given a remote enough area, nocturnal activity and some intelligence of a chimp. It could stay hidden well.

All very interesting. I used to do quite a bit of astronomy, staying up all night at the 5200 foot level in the Sierras at a dark sky observing site. My love was what are called deep sky objects; distant galaxies, star clusters, and nebulae that can be a challenge to find. The best time to see them is on moonless nights after midnight when the observing site is on the opposite side of the sun and the lights have all gone out in the valleys below. Sometimes I would be up there with hundreds of people, sometimes just my family, and other times alone.

No matter how many people were there, those still awake thin out drastically by midnight. Only the hardcore are still up as the sky begins to brighten about three hours before sunrise. That was when I usually called it quits and crawled in the sleeping bag.

I was up late one night on a weekend without many observers. Everyone but me and a buddy had called it quits by 1 AM. We were observing about 75 feet from each other. You can literally talk just above a whisper and hear what the other person was saying. We would carry on sparse conversations about what we were observing and whether it was worth the other person looking for it or not.

We both heard something on four legs walking slowly in the woods just beyond the cleared observing area. We figured it was a deer or a mountain lion because those tracks are often found in the dirt at the observing site. Our flashlights all have red lenses to protect our night vision so shining a light in the direction would have been useless.

Whatever it was took off running, and that was followed by heavy footfalls and a lot of rustling in the woods as the noise faded in the same direction. Other than the loud rustling and heavy footfalls, there was no other sound.

I went over to where my buddy was standing and talked about what we heard. We figured it was a bear, but we both asked each other the same question. "Did that sound like it was on two legs or four?" We both said two and joked about Bigfoot.

Who knows.

well for one thing Primates are smarter than cats. They can think on a much higher range and multi task alot better than cats. And there have been photo graphs just like the cats though most are blurred or back shots. Reasen why they new those cats were jags because of the coat of a jag is hard NOT to recognize. And Another thing, they cought 2 cats on camera, I guarantee there are more that just havnt been seen yet. To tell ya the truth I think the panthers or big black cats that have been spotted on the south side of the country are most likely a dark jag. Just my opinion.

I have never had a BF encounter but I live and hunt in the East Texas pine forests. Its very comforting knowing that there have been sightings too. I checked that website and Cherokee and rusk counties had multiple sightings...also where i hunt, spotlighting all night, and ride four wheelers all the time.

I am begining to think my hunting loadout and spotlighting loadout is not enough firepower. .308 with 5 rounds, Sig .40 with 3 mags, .38 snubby with a spare reload for hunting. For spotlighting there is usually 3 or 4 of us with AR-15's and AK's.

Now you guys have me worried, i guess i could always aim for his knees and like hell.
