I'm an avid hunter and frequently hunt public land in Bladen County,
NC. I have hunted this particular area yearly since 2006.
In November, 2013, I was walk hunting about a mile and a quarter
from the nearest access point. When I arrived at the parking area, I was
the only one there. There are no other access points for miles
around. It was about 1 hour and 15 minutes before sunrise. It was
clear, calm, and cold; about 25 degrees F.
I set out down a long narrow two-rut road, that runs around a lake.
I often travel without using a flashlight. I finally reached and area
that opens up onto a clear cut. It was still before shooting light, so I
sat down for about 15 minutes. Then I started walking slowly along the
two rut that ran between the clear cut and a thick bay, largely impenetrable by
a man. I saw a lone doe further the two rut, about 75 yards in front of
me.
Due to the cold and previous darkness, I had my hood over my blaze orange
hat, I uncovered my hat (I wish I had left it up). At any rate, I crept
forward, but had decided not to take the deer. She slowly fed out into a
small clear cut on the left of the two rut (the large clear cut was on the
right). This indent in the bay, had been timbered and at that time had
knee high grasses. White tails average 3 feet at the shoulder and I could
see her clearly enough to shoot. It is 150 yards east to west and about
80 yards deep.
As I watched the deer, I saw a man, emerge from the bay on the far
side. I thought, how the heck did that guy get here before me? I
never looked at him with my rifle scope because I thought he was a man.
It walked along the far edge of the small clearing. I could
see it from the hips up. It looked all grey and had a slightly conical
shaped head. I thought it was odd and then realized it was all one color,
had no backpack, no gun (both arms swinging freely), and no blaze
orange. I could clearly see it's breath. It was still a few minutes
before actual sunrise.
Then I saw a second one emerge from the thick bay, walking about 10
feet behind the first; they were identical. The deer was no where to be
seen. They proceeded along the far edge of the clearing. About 2/3
of the way across the clearing, there was an uprooted tree, with its root ball
stuck pretty high in the air.
The root ball came between us. They disappeared behind the
root ball. They never reappeared and did not come out to the two rut I
was standing at the edge of. They must have seen my hat and when they got
behind the root ball, they turned directly away. I waited for about 10
minutes wondering what just happened; I never scoped them, I don't know why now
because they weren't men.
I slowly walked down to where they would have come out to the two
rut; about 125 yards. When I looked to the back of the clearing, where
they came from, I got nervous as hell. The game department had dug sand
out of that end for something and it was then I realized they had to be at
least 8 feet tall for me to see them from the hips up.
I'll be honest, I was spooked now. Kind of like losing track
of a mama bear and cubs that were too close. I never heard any sounds
from them and the woods were absolutely quiet. I turned directly north
and fast walked across the big clearing; about 1/3 of a mile. It took me
3 years before I went down that stretch of two rut again.
I always wanted to explore where they came from, but just couldn't
bring myself to do it. I will be back there this Fall and I'm gonna look
for sign. Please see the attachment.
I have had occasion to hear whoops, knocks, and howls in my
home county; Johnston, in years past. I have also heard excited whoops
and extremely loud knocks, while hunting in Colorado in years past as
well. I will tell you about those knocks.
My father had killed an elk about 400 yards up a slide that
descended down a mountain. He gutted it that night, and we planned to go
up and pack it down the next day.
I went hunting that morning and got to the bottom of the slide about
10 AM. The way it was shaped, I couldn't see my dad up there. I
started up the slide and found him working on the elk.
He said, "Were you up there (pointed up the mountain) messing
with me?" I looked down and said, hell it's all I can do to climb up
here. He said he heard loud knocks and pointed to a tree line up the
slide about 100 yards. He said it was so loud it was like "A man
hammering nails."
Jokingly I mentioned Bigfoot and then we proceeded to work on the
elk. About 30 minutes later, I heard knocks so loud I would characterize
it as a man beating on a log with an axe handle. There were about 20
knocks in continued, rapid succession; just like the pace of using an axe, then
they stopped. When they started, my dad said there, that's what I'm
talking about.
I would guesstimate they were no further than 75 yards away. I
thought for sure I could see what was doing it, but I couldn't. There
were no other sounds or activity after that.
The elevation was about 12,000 feet and we (and a couple other
guys were camping about 30 minutes away). We didn't see any other hunters
the whole trip. I have some other stories and so did my dad; but maybe
another time. That was in the White River NF outside of Meeker, CO.
Best wishes.

Growling Bigfoot Harasses Cabin Tenants near Cherokee, NC
It was 2 years ago in August when my wife and I witnessed a Bigfoot. We
were at the Kolomoki mounds in GA near Early County. We had parked our car and
started walking to the big mound with the staircase. At first, I thought my
wife was crazy. She turned to me and asked if I heard growling. I had heard
dogs in the background barking and cattle going off. But I hadn't heard the
growl. I thought there might be wild dogs out after a farmer’s cows or
something of that nature.
I turned to my right and saw the Bigfoot. It was about 20 feet from
me. There was a gully that separated us from one another. As it went passed, I
heard no rustling of leaves or debris. It seemed to be at least 7+ feet tall
from my standpoint. It was black in color and seemed a bit slender. Possibly a
female, in my opinion anyway. When I saw it, it was passing behind one tree
thru an open space to then behind another tree. Then, nothing. Now after our
experience I feel like the dogs and cattle could smell what I couldn't and
we're reacting to that.

Appreciate hearing from you and about your encounter/sighting of this
creature.
Was this during the day, night or evening? Have you had any more activity
that may be related to this creature or do you think it was just passing
through?
Michael continues
It happened during the day. Around lunch time. Had no activity afterwards.
I feel like it was just on its way to where ever it was going, just like myself
and my wife. Kolomoki is an Indian burial and ceremonial grounds.
