Deer Hunter Has Terrifying Up Close Encounter With Bigfoot

Jim "Bear" Grant has spent a lifetime around these creatures in one way or another. Having his first sighting as a young boy in Mississippi, Bear has studied these creatures in one aspect or another for most of his adult life. Bear relates a terrifying encounter he had while deer hunting when he came face to face with one of these creatures that ignited his desire to learn as much as he could about them.

I was deer hunting a location bordering a swamp with numerous creeks flowing into the basin. I had noticed that a large buck was using a thick cane-infested area as a day time bedding area. Within this thicket I could see a large Red Oak tree that grew right along the bank of one of these creeks. This area was THICK! So thick, that the trails that were leading into the thicket was very tight and low toward the ground with honey-suckle vines and brairs infested and entwined all around leaving a tunnel-like effect. I decided to check out that oak as a great place to set up a tree-stand in order to ambush that buck, as I was only seeing him at night feeding in the surrounding fields. Naturally the only way into this thicket was by "bellying" or crawling. It ain't fun crawling around with a rifle but I was determined! The first weird thing that I noticed was that the path into this thicket kept inverting back upon itself. A deer will, most of the time, use a direct route unlike this zig-zagging. After navigating through the different turns upon my knees I broke out into an area within this thicket that was trampled down in a rough oval-type circumference.

Now remember two things: (1) I was hunting and thinking deer at the time. (2) I was upon my knees looking at cane that was thrashed which cause it to leave "mounded" type spots within this clearing. I started panning my view from the right side toward the oak back toward the left. One thing that I have forgot to mention, the wind was blowing into my face as I always try to hunt into the wind. On the left-hand side of this clearing I immediately saw a large dark object with its buttocks sticking up, it's knees and arms curled up under itself, and it's head facing toward the only opening that I could determine was within this thicket. Back toward me!

Holy S&%t! I was looking at a sleeping Sasquatch! Only it's eyes just then decided to open! Upon seeing me it sprang itself up into an up-right position clearly pissed that I had disturbed its nap! It started "working" itself up into a fit-type frenzy walking upon all-four limbs, occasionally reaching into and behind itself grabbing handfulls of cane and ripping it up, throwing it into the surrounding air! It was clearly working up it's courage as I had it hemmed up! Until then, I had not noticed any scent except a wild animal musk-like odor that is very similar to a male deer but when it started working itself up into a "mad fit" that is when I was hit with a skunk, eye-watering, sulfer-type smell that threatened to make me sick!
