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.

It reminds me of this. Only with a happy ending.

EDIT: I was wrong. I must have come across the site way back when it was a plain white page with black text. https://bfro.net/avevid/mjm/deerkills.asp

Can someone please help with find this ancient site, maybe on archive.org?

Something like fifteen years ago there was a site, almost all text, that discussed whether or not Sasquatch people hunted deer, specifically in Ohio. It included a good number of accounts where people had found things like a small cave with neatly stacked deer legs, carcasses with missing livers, and so on.

Many people are aware of these stories in general now, but this site was one of the few that was chock full of detailed personal accounts.

I don't think it was early BFRO or BigfootEncounters.

Check out this site. Unlike BFRO, they have a small database that opens in an online spreadsheet (airtable,if you care). This alone puts them ahead of BFRO for me. Some of the entries are pretty interesting.

I'll start the ball rolling.

Here's one of my favorites from BFRO. A hunter saw a sasquatch stalk and kill a wild hog with it's bare hands. Impressive if true, and ~~anything~~anyone that keeps the feral hog population in check is good in my book.
