The Bigfoot Story Of The Day

  This story comes from Johnson County, Arkansas and is about a hunter who sees the tops of two small trees bent at about seven feet with both of them pointing in the same direction -toward the mountains. He is in the woods hunting squirrels with a diminutive .22 rifle. He shoots some squirrels and then hears what sounds like a hollow tree being struck with a club. He hears four bangs. He also notices that the woods have becomes silent.
Even the woodpeckers who call and drum at lot at this time of day are quiet. Then he sees it. A Bigfoot is squatting behind a thin screen of brush. He is rocking side to side. The hunter thinks he is about to be attacked. He's actually killed a 375 pound black bear with such a small caliber rifle by aiming and hitting the bear directly under the chin, severing his spinal cord. He carefully aims at a spot directly underneath the chin of the Hairyman and shoots the little rifle. The Bigfoot springs up, whirls around and runs off. The hunter fires 15 more shots at the back of the Bigfoot, and he is sure he has scored at least 7 hits. The Bigfoot continues running, his legs noticeably bent but with long strides that are very fluid. His long arms swing in an exaggerated but fluid manner too. The hunter runs to his truck, throws the vehicle into gear, and stomps desperately on the accelerator. Much to his horror, the truck roars backwards deeper into the woods, hitting a tree. He put the transmission into reverse rather than drive. He throws it into drive and roars out of the woods. The hunter never hunts in that area again. But unlike many other hunters who have seen Bigfoot, he does go into the woods again, just not that woods.
