As is often stated in other “scientific” endeavors, the more we learn the more questions we have, or the more we don’t know.

I wonder how long Mr. Krueger has been picking up road kill as part of his employment (animal control officer? Game Warden?) and why would he be picking one up at 1:00 in the morning? Is this his normal shift, or was he called specifically to retrieve the carcass? If he has been doing this for several years, has he ever had an encounter with BF before?

There is and can be much speculation as to BF’s nature or behavior but I prefer not to make too many assumptions. Simply because this large animal was not afraid to take the deer in this incident does not necessarily mean that it can be baited into doing it again.

I once hit an elk which totaled my truck and I took the time to put the elk out of it’s misery as it was obviously beyond being able to recover. I subsequently learned that there was no law where I live that would prevent me from doing what I felt I had to do but if I had put any part of the animal in a vehicle and drove off I would have been guilty of poaching. Now, if BF proves to be humanoid we now have a new class of poacher to deal with.

How many other laws might this humanoid be breaking? Crossing international borders illegally? And who will set out to arrest these lawbreakers?

I am reminded of some stories about hunters finding broken-necked deer in the woods, with missing livers. They found a few, as I recall, but mostly with just internal organs missing, such as the liver and the heart. Related, maybe?

Looking back at the new post, it seems like this size is within reason for a bear. Interesting course of events.

He didn’t say it was a bigfoot. True. It’s a large, black mammal that is at least seven feet tall.

elsanto Says: (above)
“…jumped into the back of his truck and took the road-killed deer” seems pretty open and undefined.
Doug replies:
The Fla. Skunkape, many times, have knocked down fishermen at the river banks and snatched their string of fish.
One fisherman threw his fish in the truckbed and jumped in the cab to protect himself, and a Skunkage grabbed the fish, and rocked the truck to scare the poor guy into speeding off.

I too have the impression that bigfoot, if it is a real animal, is mostly shy and elusive, if not afraid of humans. If it wasn’t, there’s a good chance it would be discovered by now, especially as humans encroach evermore into the their habitat. However, it is true that animals can become aggressive when food, offspring, or territory are involved. I’ve seen normally docile creatures become quite bold in these situations. Just try reaching into a normally timid dog’s food bowl and you’ll see what I mean. Perhaps this bigfoot would not normally have acted in such a way, but this guy comes and takes the road kill out from under its nose, basically steals it in the creature’s mind, and that provoked an aggressive reaction. Perhaps the Bigfoot didn’t jump into the truck, but rather gave it a good offensive thump. That could feel like something jumping back there. Of course this is just speculation, I would have liked more details in this story.

I’m sure that Mr. Hughes would be real excited about trolling for bigfoots. I have this hilarious image in my mind of every good ol’ Swede in Wisconsin driving down the backroads dragging a dead deer very slowly behind the truck. A Gary Larsen cartoon in the making.

I suppose that Bigfoots/feet might have different personalities. And some more agressive than others, as in this story. I do not believe that Bigfoot naturally has a fear of humans. Perhaps they learn to avoid humans as they grow older, with expirence. Perhaps they learn to hide from humans by watching the actions of their elders? With this story one has to ask why Mr. Krueger would make such a thing up? I’m sure that since he deals with deer, he knows his animals and could ID a bear.

On the surface this story sounds true. Animals do become agressive when food is involved. Just see what happens when one enters the fishing hole of an Alaskan Kodiak! If this is a true story, then it demonstrates an agressive nature or side of Bigfoot and does not surprise me at all. Researchers in the field need to keep this in mind, as some in the past actually believed they would someday shake the hand of Bigfoot. They might think twice before extending such a limb of welcome!

Well apparently this is something bigfoot do, searching for roadkill, which is probably why they’re often spotted walking along roads. I agree this gives people in this type of job an ideal opportunity to get one on film. Remember to bring that camera! It’s definitely worth checking the truck for any possible evidence.

Looking for hair or prints on and in the box of that pickup the sooner the better might be advisable.
