What is this?

Some cat-like creature or illegal alien that walked too close to your camera. Any follow up shots? When any object gets too close to the game cams when they go off, you'll get that blinding white image that is totally washed out. It looks like it has a bit of fur on it, whatever it is; but, again, at point blank range it could be anything, even a moth or bird.

My son hunted there Saturday morning and heard some meows like a house cat, then 5 min later heard several deep growls that scared the crap out of him
I guess I need to put a camera up for the camera!

Is it legal to shoot a Bigfoot?

I don't believe it's legal, but having to field dress one would be a challenge. eek

I bet you could get a good deal on a taxidermy job for an imaginary animal.

Don’t shoot Sasquatch this early fur is not prime yet wait until December. Although fur market is pretty bad last couple years... I still have not sold my Sasquatch furs from last year waiting for market to rebound.

I am sure there have been plenty of them shot with a 223 sir, just nobody wants to say it for fear of ridicule.

Then it would not have been sasquatch. Nobody here is shooting a target they cannot positively identify. Puh-lease!

Bigfoot is known to have mountain lions as pets so the pic is prob a Bigfoot.

You guys are killing me...it is the wind blowing the branches of a nearby tree over in front of the camera...hey, I like Bigfoot shows/stories as much as anyone, but at least have your tall buddy, with a beard put on a full length ghillie suit, with some brown face paint, come to the feeder, so you can get a good shot, or three. Then we can talk about Sasquatch!

I Grandma repeatedly said she once saw a mermaid, she saw really serious about it, i am 100% sure she wasn't crazy...she was a lawyer and teach a very conservative person. if Mermaids are real then why not bigfoot.

It is not uncommon to believe that a person's status in life sort of gives or takes away credibility, as if being a lawyer and a teacher somehow means that her observations would carry more weight than the observations of somebody else. Smart and educated people who aren't crazy get fooled by things as well. Sometimes, they just want to believe...

Re: Sasquatch? - 10/09/18 11:17 AM

We pulled the cards from our other feeder on the place.
Funny thing, the stand my son hunted and the mystery pic came from, had hardly any deer on it, while the other feeder, just 1/4 mile away was covered with deer

Maybe a bobcat is hanging around that feeder and has the deer all spooked off?
If that’s the case, he’s gotta go

Re: Sasquatch? - 10/09/18 11:27 AM

It isn't that funny. Sometimes it happens. We have two feeders less than 60 yards apart that don't have the same traffic.

Well, I have put out feeders where I thought were good spots, only to realize, that the animals disagreed. Might want to reconsider feeder placement.

Is a .223 acceptable for Big Foot and is it all about shot placement? bolt

Re: Sasquatch? - 10/09/18 06:13 PM

Hunter goes into the woods with a bow, stumbles upon bigfoot who grabs the bow, tosses it aside and violates the hunter. A week later, seeking revenge, the hunter goes into the woods with a pistol. Again, stumbles upon bigfoot who grabs the pistol, tosses it aside, and violates the hunter. Next week, hunter goes into woods with a rifle, hellbent on revenge. Stumbles upon bigfoot who grabs the rifle, tosses it aside, and says, "You really aren't here to hunt, are you?"

Only for a neck shot. If you attempt any other shot you need to have a .50BMG and if placed just right will kill the beast by sucking the wind out of its lungs and at the same time preserving the carcass and fur for scientific study and fur sales.

It is this reason there are so few Bigfoot harvested because not everyone wants to carry such a big gun into the woods with them. Although, I have heard of HF places that have turrets with a .50 set up where you can hunt upwind of a bigfoot nest in your jeans and plaid shirt while smoking cigars and drinking a few brewskis.
