Ran into a hunter while mushroom hunting yesterday. I'm sure the 3 kids we had with us scared all the deer away for miles!

One case where a bigfoot's surprise attack fails. This is possible but not likely since bigfoots are probably fast and deadly ambushers capable of taking out elk. Someday we will have videos of this feat.

The use of that term indicates it wanted to eat them, otherwise it could be a territorial or even protective attack if they have cubs around. The way I’ve always heard it if they’re busting into your tent they’re hungry and fight them for all you’re worth because their goal is to kill and eat you. If they jump you on a trail it could be territorial and if you play dead they may tear you up some and leave you alone. And if you see a cub, get away as fast as you can. I was backpacking in the Bighorns in northern WY years ago and something big brushed my tent in the middle of the night. Talk about waking up wide awake, I grabbed my M1911 next to my pillow quick as a cat and got ready to empty the magazine out. I had it loaded with the safety off which is the proper way to keep it ‘at the ready’ since they have a grip safety. Anyway much to my relief after a few seconds I heard it walking off. I waited about 10 minutes and jumped out of my tent flashlight in one hand and pistol in the other and checked the perimeter to make sure nothing was there waiting for another try before I got back in my bag. Looked all over for tracks in the morning but never found anything, dry rocky ground.

The tunnel diggers must have the instincts to know how and where to dig long tunnels without cave ins. Seems like bigfoot wants a secret life and the best way is to live in underground dens, then wake up and hunt at night. On the grim side human victims can be snatched and taken underground never to be seen again. https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/get-lost-in-mega-tunnels-dug-by-south-american-megafauna "At the top of Frank’s list is to better describe patterns emerging from observations he’s collected studying paleoburrows for the past decade. Some are simple shafts; others are complicated works of underground engineering, with branching tunnels that twist and turn and rise and fall to form a network with more than one entrance. Some occasionally open up into much larger chambers. There are relatively small ones. Then there are the enormous ones. “We need to figure out the patterns. We’re starting to understand this better,” Frank says. “And from there, we’ll be better able to infer what kinds of different animals were digging them.”
