Bigfoot

I also posted this in "the other place", since this community seems pretty dead, but here it is anyway:

In case you haven't heard about this one before, he was deer hunting when a sweat-drenched doe ran up and collapsed at the base of his stand.

He heard something and decided it was someone messing with his hunting spot, so he yelled at them. It turned out to be two sasquatch people (he only saw one at first) hunting and they got extremely angry.

Link to his interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs2ZBCcL3co

He ran for his truck and finally drove them back by shooting at a tree near the one he saw, but Wooley said he couldn't being himself to kill him because the sasquatch looked too human.

Anyway, his take is they're very dangerous, which can doubtless be true, but...

The doe was covered in sweat, which means they'd been chasing her a while.

It was hunting season, so deer were probably skittish and maybe this was the first one they had a chance at for awhile, so here they are trying to catch something to keep their family alive, and some stranger chases them off!

Maybe it wasn't first issue they'd had with hunters, so they were probably extremely angry, and had just plain had it.

Not that they should have been ready to kill him, but it seems to me a less belligerent reaction on Wooley's part would have resulted in a different kind of experience.
