Class B First-hand BFRO #28023

Two hunters experience possible sasquatch intimidation behavior near Pinckney State Recreation Area

November 2008 mid morning around 9 a.m. Pinckney, Washtenaw County, Michigan 2 witnesses

Account

While deer hunting in the morning, the witness and his partner were stationed a few hundred yards apart with thick cover between them. Both men heard loud whoop-like and howl-like vocalizations along with heavy bipedal-sounding footsteps and branches breaking from the cover between them. The sounds lasted about a minute and unnerved both hunters. The witness did not enter the brush and later returned without further incident.
