Class A First-hand BFRO #78325

Duck Hunter Encounter with a Bigfoot near Black River 30 miles NW of Jonesboro

December 2012 10 AM, daylight Lynn, Lawrence County, Arkansas 1 witness

Account

During a winter duck hunt the witness waded out to retrieve a downed bird and noticed feathers and rhythmic splashes in flooded timber. A very large bipedal creature approached through the trees to within about 30 yards, watched the witness for about 30 seconds, made a low huff, then turned and left quickly through the water. The witness returned to companions and left the area, avoiding hunting for about a week.
