Hunter Encounters With Bigfoot — First-Person Fiction
These are works of fiction. Any resemblance to actual events or persons is coincidental.
They weren't looking for Bigfoot. They were hunting. Then everything changed.
Deep in the woods, sitting in a tree stand or tracking through brush — hunters spend more time in Bigfoot territory than almost anyone. These are their stories, in their own voice.

“GONE IN A FLASH”
— Roland — Wooded Area
A hunter had a Sasquatch perfectly in his rifle scope — and chose not to pull the trigger.
“I was out hunting one day, sitting in my tree stand, patiently waiting for a deer. I had been there for a couple of hours when I heard a noise—something moving through the trees.
I grabbed my rifle and looked through the scope, scanning the woods for a deer. I didn't see one. Instead, I saw something else.
I saw a Sasquatch.”

“I SAW A BIGFOOT”
— Tom — Salt Fork State Park, Ohio
Tom was camping at Salt Fork. What he saw at the edge of the woods changed him.
“There was movement in the tree line—at first I thought it was a deer. Then this thing stepped out.”
