EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

So about this "bigfoot" they found, Real or Fake?

What do yall think?

I dont Know . I hunt a few places that if there was one I would think he would live there. :o Ive been looking for one though cause I want to be the first to catch and tie one!! 8)

whats the storyline???  ;)

Huh???

its been all over the news two guys from georiga said claim they found one, and they had a confrence meeting in california today

here is a link to cnn...
http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/08/15/bigfoot.body/index.html

I hope it's real, the world sure could use something to break the tension right now

im about 99% sure it isnt real but i sure wish it would be,, just for everybody who said he was fake,, you could tell them i told you so ;D ;D

7'7"/500#'s... IF it was real.... definitely make a fella look over his shoulder out at night ;D

Gonna need a bigger catch dog...

i dont think it is real but if there really is a big foot i think the hog doggers and coon hunters will be the one to find him, as much stuff we get into if he is there one of us will find it lol

that's it, im starting a pack to hunt bigfoots... or is it feets?

i seen today on cnn that it was 96% possum hair,, so its another hoax,, guess we'll just have to keep waitin ;D ;D ;D

That's a big ole possum!!! ;D Could be them possums over in Georgia is 4% BIGFOOT!!!!!! ;D ;D

maybe if one of my dogs would trash on a possum that size she would quit trashing on possums lol

you aint lyin,, ol bigfoot would teach her a lesson huh? ;D ;D :)

I smell a government coverup.... ;)

I had one(bigfoot) chase me, another hunter, and 4 finished coon hounds out of a swamp back in 1979. No BS true story, it scared the crap out of me, and my hunting partner had a panic attack and fainted....

sh#t!! lol. my pa's mate swore on his life he saw one in a forrestry over here...

silverton could you tell us this story i would like to hear it

yeah silverton i would like to hear that one to ;D

Gotta hear that one in detail!

PLEASE TELL THE STORY!!!!

SOMEONE GET SILVERTON TO LOOK AT THIS POST!!!!

Those two just publicly admitted it to be a hoax, the cop also got fired...

I agree coon hunters or hog hunters would be the first to stumble on one, so I just got a new 20 round mag for my saiga ,308 :o

what tha h e double hockey sticks happened to silverton. he shouldnt say stuff like that if he aint gonna tell the story,FOR PETES SAKE!

late sumer '79. Hunting 'coon on my home place with my partner and 4 finished hounds. 2 walkers and 2 B&T's. Two night champions and two more just as tough. These were 4 unsnap, get gone,no checking back, tree and kill type hounds. We were walking back to a patch of virgin timber with about 1-2 feet of standing water, full of briars and the like, hunted it all the time, middle of nowhere.

1/2 mile from the swamp we unsnaped the dogs and walked on. there was a creek crossing about half way there, and as we approached we heard an animal call or whale or squall....a sound that I had never heard in my life, or since on a place that I worked and hunted on 24/7 for years.

We both froze in our tracks and whispered to each other "what was that" hair standing straight up on my neck. Dogs had started off in another direction and were not near the sound. We talked awhile and descided to go on......talked ourselves in to it being a lion or pantheror something.

We took another route to the swamp and made our way in a couple hundred yards. We shut off our lights and leaned against a tree as the water was abour a foot deep. We could hear the dogs working in and out of the water at a fast pace,quartering, things were normal.......

About this time we had been standing still in the dark for 15 minutes or so and the dogs were dead ahead and heading deeper into the swamp.....when all 4 dogs stoped at the same time in the standing water. You could tell they were trying to figure something out. they never moved a foot but we could here them sniffing the air and then a whine and all 4 dogs headed for us at a dead run in the water. My big tough walker ran behind me and stuck his head between my legs shaking and whining my female right behind him, my partners dogs just hid behind him.

Now I said WTF to my partner and chambered a round in my 22Ruger just to make myself feel better. We both had those sunburst coon lights with the big belt head light walking light and hand held spot lights, and we lit up all the swamp that we could.....

This is where the fun started. As we were "backing" out of the swamp lights on and guns up, we were making alot of noise in the standing water but we could here something else just beyound the light following us and closing the distance. We would take 3 steps and stop and listen and the thing that was following us was walking on 2 legs we could hear the foot fall in the water. We would take 3 steps and stop and it would take 4 or 5 and we could here it plain as day but It would  stop just after we did each time. All this while our dogs are still cowering behind us and we are scared to death.....

We get to where we coud see the edge of the swamp where it turns to pasture..... We just turned and ran, as we broke into the open we could hear the foot falls in the water behind us still coming. The hounds were running ahead but were still close, looking over thier shoulders. Then my partner yelled for help and fainted. I ran back to him and rolled him over so he could breath, eyes rolled back in his head non-responsive.....

I threw my rifle across his chest and turned on the spot light ready for what ever it was, to attack.
The dogs ran to the next creek and hid under a bridge. I could see some shadows in the edge of the timber but it never came out of the cover. My buddy got his witts about him and got up and we went for the truck as fast as we could, dogs leading the way.

We never spoke of that night untill years later.....It really bothered both of us for a long time, I never hunted that place again after dark. I went back to the spot later that year after the frost when I could see alot better, this time with my 30-06. 50 yards into the timber I saw the bones from a dead cow stuck into the branches of a tree. About 15 in all some as high as 15 feet off the ground......

Some years latter I was watching a show about bigfoot and they had some audio of the sounds that they made........You got it, it was the exact sound ( I don't mean close I mean exact) that we had heard in the woods that night. It still bothers me today when I think about it and I am 46 years old. Bigfoot chased me out of a swamp.....and I lived to tell about it.

True Story,

Paul T

Good story, that would shake up anybody I know, for a fact.... I've got a few hunting buddies about that brave ;D

Ever think about puttin' up a trail camera?

It was 1979, there were no trail cams back then....

thanks for the story. i think if big foot is to be found it will be by a hog hunter.
i am 60 now and i hunted hard for 30 plus years and i have seen some wierd things in the woods at night. so do i believe, yes i do. there are things in nature we have not seen yet.
be fore i leave this earth i would truely love to see one and know it is 100% true.

Yeah I know, I was talking about now.. if those woods are even still there...

there could be any thing out in your country. I use to cut through that
away hauling cattle out west. had to pull over several hotttt days at the
top of the caps. any way== keep-m coming

Funny story. My wife's cousin is a taxidermist and he made up a big foot suit and would pop in and out of camp sites scaring the sh!t out of people. It was all fun and everything untill this woman had a panic attack and went to the hospital thinking she was having a heart attack. It made the local news and was all you heard about around here at that time. He was gonna get in some serious trouble over it but it eventually blew over.

your cousin should be glad no one pulled out a gun when he did that i know if big foot popped out at my camp site i would fire a couple rounds lol

i would be shootin to gardner lol,, good story paul
