I also hunt in northern Wisconsin and have never seen a live or dead bear in the woods. What I did see though was a cougar... No one believed me but I seen it stalking young deer. (Story to follow) So could Bigfoot be there among other places.. YES!!! Just because it is rare to hear about sightings, does not mean it is not there.. Their numbers are obviously low and they must be a VERY smart and secretive creature.

Well, here the story. I was posted in a tree one evening last fall. There was about an hour left of shooting time when I had a group of does and their fawn cross about 30 to 40 yards behind me. THEY LOOKED Spooked. I assumed they were being trailed by a very horny buck so I watched the crossing a little closer. About 10 minutes later I seen brown movement behind some brush and thought it was the buck. But something was weird, it was lower to the ground then it should be. I watched intensely to get a good look at what it was but all I could see was flashes of muscular brown fir.

As the brown shadow approached a deadfall I got excited because I knew he would have to jump it as the does did, and give me a clear view of who he was. IT DID NOT, it went under it. As it passed under it the last thing I saw was a long tail. (Definitely not a deer) Then it briefly crossed an opening about 30 yards away. Just enough time to give me a view that it was a large CAT.

I went back after dark and told my brother in-laws about it and we all assumed it was a large Bobcat... Having never seen one in the wild I too assumed this because bobcats are occasionally sighted in our area and early in the morning you can hear them screaming.

About a year went by and I was at a Hunting Show in Madison. There was a live animal display. They had a Cougar in a cage right next to a Bobcat and I'll tell you what, I thought that cat was too big to be a Bobcat. I turned to the guy next to me and told him the story and he amazingly told me... There has been sighting and that they are moving into Wisconsin.. I almost S@!t a brick. Bobcats are one thing but Cougars could eat my a@@... Wish I had had my camera with me..

So to make a long story short, just because not many people see things and photos are rare doesn't mean Bigfoots are not there.


PS, send me that picture too Coyote
