BFRO #4713: Moose hunter has morning encounter in hills of northern Ontario

📍 Location

📝 Description

While moose hunting early one crisp morning, i was walking in the spagnum moss all alone deep in the bush, it was in a hilly area and not many people frequent the area at all.while stalking i had slipped in the moss on a wet stone.when, i hit the ground from the impact i had been shaken a bit from the fall, getting my bearings i had looked up ,and to my amazement a "thing" was standing there looking at me.i had thought at first, it was moose getting up from the long grass, 10 yards from where i had fallen .but, as i looked closer it wasnt a moose, i had brought my gun up, and trying to swing on it,it looked at me in "amazement".like it knew it was going to be shot!what, i had seen was not a moose, i couldnt fire on it. because of the way it moved, and the noises it made, they had startled me so much so, i had thought .... "it is a man"?!but, it was black and running so fast it was amazing....it was running and yelling ,,,,,its yell was very strange.i remember aiming at it, but listening to its eary scream, (like you would see in a cowboys and indian movie when an indian is about to attack and it charges.) i hate to use this a a medafor , however, its the best way i can describe it. so ,i watched it disapper out of site running , i was amazed at the movements and the manner in which it had eluded me.amazing!i still remember its scream, after it had known i was turning my gun on it.it was a very quick decision to make, i was on one knee and trying to look at "it" and, hip aline a shot!I had enough time to see it that, when it started to run i had gotten up and targeted it as it ran!but, as i had mentioned! I was amazed at what i had seen and heard so, i could not shoot!I was seeing an animal run but, it was so man like i couldnt shoot!I have since that day, frequented this area and found what i feel to be an unusual sheltering spot.When the initial ordel was over, i was left with a weird feeling .One of "when, i had fallen, and this "thing" came to see if i was alright, and to my surprise seeing him that close, instictively raising my gun on him" he reacted to my movement of harm, and i could see it in his movements he was scared! It was a very quick, and very close encounter.Maybe, its not the big foot you seek!But, it was black,large, ran up right, very fast, and i still believe it's movements to be extrememly manlike!
