Deer hunter encounters bigfoot at Caddo Lake near Karnack
Account
The witness was concealed while deer hunting at the water's edge when he noticed movement to the side. He watched a large hair-covered biped rise from a crouch in shallow water, look side to side, then walk out of the water into the woods and disappear over about two minutes from about 50 yards away. On the return to the truck he found a single very large footprint in loose soil.
