An Idaho hunter talks about encountering a Bigfoot that he observed carrying a deer swiftly up a ridge. He detailed the feeling of fear and anxiety that swept over him as a result.
"As a city kid, I was lucky enough to have my parents relocate to northern Idaho when I was about 14. My parents separated shortly afterward. They didn't have anyone to teach me anything about the woods but I fell in love with the mountains. I started to hunt when I was about 16. After I would go home after a 26-mile bus ride from school I had about three and a half hours to hunt. I had a favorite spot along the lower North Fork River on the Tamarack Ridge. At that time there were small farms here.
One evening while on one of my short hunts for whitetail deer, I saw a group of three along a ridge. I could hear the deer moving through the brush ahead of me. I got down on my knees. They were ahead looking under the brush halfway up the ridge. Then I started feeling fear welling up in me. As I stood up and looked across the valley to the next ridge, about 150 yards away, I saw what looked like a 'large man' carrying a whole deer up the ridge at a very quick pace. I was amazed at how thick the body, arms, and legs were. The Bigfoot covered the distance to the top in just a few minutes. As it crested the top I then was very acutely aware of the fear that was in me. I had trouble controlling it. I checked my rifle to make sure it was loaded. I also carried a .357 Mag revolver with me. I checked to see if it was loaded. I was feeling very inadequate for the situation I was in. I was suddenly aware that it was almost dark, so I started moving in the direction of my pickup. I almost started to run but when I would quicken my pace the fear was almost uncontrollable. I felt like something was watching me and I could swear I knew from what direction I could hear the brush crack around me, but I don't know if it was related.
When I reached the pickup I was afraid to put my gun down to unlock the truck. I thought if I could just get in the truck I could settle down and get a hold of my emotions. I was sitting in the truck and still was not settling down. I got the truck started and I pulled down on the old dirt road along the river. The tightness in my chest started to ease as I drove down the road. I passed the bottom of the ridge where I had the encounter. I stopped and looked up the little trail that led to the ridge trail/. Immediately the tightness returned and I felt very vulnerable sitting in the pickup. So I took off faster than I should have been driving on the old road.
When I got home my mom asked what was wrong and I just let her think I was frustrated because I didn't get anything. I never told anyone about it until my sons were 14 and 16. The young one believed me and had a hard time hunting by himself. When he first started getting into the woods the older son wasn't didn't say much about it. But the topic comes after every hunting season in camp.
I've never felt fear like that in my life whether staring down the barrel of a gun as a police officer or trekking in a cave and underground."
