Bow hunters observe a bigfoot in daylight near Bradshaw

October 2009 2pm EST Bradshaw, McDowell County, West Virginia 2 witnesses

Account

Two companions were bow hunting in the mountains when they noticed movement below them that they first thought was another hunter. On closer view about 50 yards away they described a very tall, muscular figure covered head to toe in fur. They watched it walk about 100 yards until it left their view.
