NCBFr Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Last Friday night I was having a wonderful dinner at an Italian restaurant when I text rolled in from a number I could not identify: " I think I saw a bigfoot and I heard your the person to talk to. This is Zac In Jack's's backyard" I will admit to being very confused at first and showed it to my wife. She figured out that Zac was the 13 year old kid living to our left and Jack was his best friend that lived in the house to our right and that he has a bigfoot . 3-4 years ago Jack's dad told me about a weird encounter he had walking down the road very late at night. I explained it was probably a bigfoot and I explained to him my history with them over the last 25 years. The next day he and his two kids explored the woods behind our houses and finds what looks to be a very crude hunting blind and maybe nest built a few yards away from a downed tree. The kids turned the blind (basically 6 stacked limbs against a very large downed tree) in to a fort that basically resembled a large Teepee complete with tarp, kind of a door, and adorned with a deer antler. They played with it for a year or two before moving on to other things leaving their fort abandoned and slowly falling a part. I am very familiar with this area as I exercise my dogs in this little slither of woods separating 4 houses from a lake. The next morning after receiving the text I looked around the woods to see if there was any evidence of a bigfoot as I was skeptical (the actual time of the year is perfect, but a sighting at that time of the day in the open is unprecedented) and figured it was a bear coming out of hibernation. There were a couple of things out of place but that could have been anything and my dog picked up nothing. And then I saw the fort had been completely redesigned in to 3 separate blinds. One facing up the woods, one facing down the woods, and the third facing the lake. All very neatly placed with an easy ingress and egress and some interesting engineering. The log holding the lake-facing blind had been moved to that position as it was the main support log in the center of the teepee. What do y'all think of the fort turned hunting blind? To be continued.
