Sighting Text:
CTR 56 APRIL 96 * At the Diamond Bar Ranch, about 20 miles west of Augusta, MT, Chris ran across a whole nest of Bigfeet. Mostly heard, the one he saw was 8-9 feet tall, went into a crouch, and zipped into the woods. This was in 1982 while a boy...a boy and his dog. The dog's ears went up when he first heard an intensely loud noise that he at first thought was an elk bugle, then he saw the reddish fur creature, its arm leaning against a branch. The noise was so loud from the thing that he started to pass out, but made it back to the cabin, where he sat with a 30-30.
