The problem with this “sighting” is the person didn’t see anything. Out of all the known animals in the world as well as the fact we live in a world with a lot people in it, this person automatically goes to the assumption that the pine cone and rock were “thrown” his way by a “mythological” creature? Hmmmmmm. Ok this is proof.

I served in the Marine Corps over 20 years and I never heard anyone describe themselves as “a Special Forces Trained Solider (sic) as a Force Recon Marine and Air Force Combat Controller and have three tours in combat”. I caught three fake veterans in my career, one of whom was a respected lawyer, and it’s always nonsensical comments like this that start the investigation. I would be really interested to see him produce a service record.

What’s a “squatch”?

Whats interesting to me is that he said he read three reports of recent bigfoot sightings from the area and decided to go bear hunting there. Did he think people were mistaking bear for bigfoot or was he looking to have an encounter?
As a hunter I’ve thought about the scenario if a squatch presented a shot would I take it and I don’t think I would unless I felt extremely threatened. But I agree with airgunner thats probably how we will get a specimen.

I think when we get a confirmed Bigfoot specimen, it will come from a situation just like that described in this story. A trained, experienced big-game hunter, adequately armed and not easily frightened.

This fellow had the presence of mind to do the right thing: never shoot at anything when you are not sure of what it is. That is a basic principle of gun safety.

It would have applied to the Patterson-Gimlin episode as well, when the pair could have easily shot the squatch if they knew what it was.

This guy apparently knew what a squatch was and how it was supposed to look. Would he have shot it if it showed itself? Only he knows.
