Class A First-hand BFRO #74487

Turkey hunter observes a sasquatch in daylight 2 miles SW of Erwin

17 May 2022 approximately 6:00 am Erwin, Steuben County, New York 1 witness

Account

The witness was turkey hunting from the base of a tree on a ridge when a tall, dark reddish-brown bipedal figure was seen about 75 yards away for a few seconds before it stepped behind a tree. About 15 minutes later, while still in the same spot, an object struck a tree about 30 yards to the left and fell to the ground sounding like a rock. The witness also noticed a musky odor and reported no further activity that morning.
