Hunter's dusk sighting of a sasquatch on the Kickapoo (KS) Indian Reservation

While bow hunting at dusk near a field and tree line, the witness stood to leave and saw a tall figure approaching that was first mistaken for a companion.

The witness moved toward the tree line to avoid being silhouetted, then retreated to a truck and slapped the tailgate, after which the figure dropped to all fours and disappeared within seconds.
