But if the deer was its kill, it would try to get it back. Just a thought.

By calling ANYTHING a Bigfoot or potential Bigfoot, it presupposes Bigfoot exists. I neither believe nor disbelieve in the creature and I am not here to debate its existence or nonexistence. My real issue is that saying someone saw BIGFOOT when they reported an unknown hairy animal presupposes the existence of a creature called BIGFOOT; therefore, the danger is that, since Bigfoot is in large part a cultural icon in many people’s minds, it can encourage people to consciously or unconsciously shape, select, or discount current and future evidence to fit a preconceived notion.

If Krueger is unsure of what he saw, I can understand his hesitation to let people assume it is the creature we call Bigfoot. On the other hand, if Bigfoot exists and Krueger saw it, I can understand why he would want to resist that idea due to ridicule.

So I’ll just add if it were just a bear then I doubt Mr. Kreuger would have left his ramp at the scene. He would have driven away a bit, waited and then went back and retrieved it.

This information also explains my questions about the “jumping” bigfoot.

I believe Mr. Kreuger has the right to be left alone and everyone should respect that. Though none here have put this in the hoax category, I would just like to say I absolutely do not think that it belongs there to any who would put it there.

Why? Well for one Mr. Krueger works outdoors in the wee hours of the morning. So he should not be easily startled by things that go bump in the night. I just can’t see a black lab scaring him? Quite clearly something big scared him! By his own words he peeled-off when he saw the thing. He felt it was not a prankster. Then he debated making a report. Obviously Mr. Krueger did not really think it was a bear at the time, because what would be the problem reporting an agressive bear? Who would question or make fun of that? None! If Mr. Krueger had seen a bear snatch a deer, he would have reported it right away. Surely Mr. Krueger knows what a bear looks like and was able to describe the ears pretty good. I think if he saw the ears that good, then he knew he was not looking at a bear.

Mr. Krueger may at first have thought it was a bear. I’m sure at night a Bigfoot sighting could bring bear thoughts to mind. In this case however, whatever Mr. Krueger saw scared him and was odd enough to delay a report on his part in fear of ridicule. It would have been so easy for Mr. Krueger to simply say it was a bear. But he chose not to. So in my opinion, Mr. Krueger saw something that looked like a bear, but he could not quite ID as a bear.

I know that a dog or bear rocking my truck would startle me at night. In either case though, I would not peel-off and depart the area in fear because of a dog or bear. My reaction might be to take-off, but then a ways down the road I would stop for another look, roll up my windows and lock the doors. On the other hand, if I saw a big creature with pointy ears in the back of my truck snatching a deer carcass, I certainly would get out of Dodge in a hurry! And that is what Mr. Krueger did.

I would think that by the very nature of picking up roadkill for a living, one would have to consider the possibility of predator encounters at night. So it should seem likely that Mr. Krueger would be mentally prepared for that and that he would be less startled, upon seeing a bear on the job, than say I.

Is it possible from his description this could have been a Bigfoot encounter? Mr. Krueger could not trust his eyes, delayed the report in fear of ridicule and now changed his story to save face?

Mr.Krueger knows most likely what he saw. If I saw a Bigfoot I would tell my story and then stick to it! I would see that as my responsibility to tell the truth. Too bad Mr. Krueger hadn’t report the sighting right away and the sheriff able to deploy a pack of hounds on the creature. Even if it was only a bear, such aggressive behavior might indicate the bear to be a threat to people and it should have been tracked down. If it was a Bigfoot the hounds might have turned-tail, and we would have a better idea of what Mr. Krueger actually saw.

After all Mr Krueger did say he saw something …

And that something needs to eat and it eats Roadkill. Mr Krueger mentioning a creature “approximately 7 feet tall, very black, and very wide.”

Would be a miss not to find out what it was.. No Wild Life trappers or Photographers upto it ?
