A listener writes “I had on my uncle small farm in Ozark County, Missouri. This happened during the summer of 2017. My uncle owns and operates a small beef cattle farm where he has cows, chickens, and goats.
I was visiting my family that live in the area because I live in Kentucky now. We was talking and he was telling me about how some of his chickens a had been pulled out of there pens and disappeared over the last couple weeks. We both agreed there may be a coyote or two getting into his chicken pin. I like varmint hunting so I agreed to spend a couple nights out there and see if I bag the coyote for him. I had brought my .300 AAC AR build to shoot with some of my family. It was equipped with a day and night sight because I mainly use it for coyote and smaller game hunting. Well one the second night I was posted up in the top of his barn that has a small opening on the second floor that faced the wood line.
I was scanning the woodline with the night setting when I noticed something moving some small trees about 150 yards to my left. So i focused on it. As I watched this 7 and half 8 foot tall creature stepped out. It was covered in dark hair. The moon was almost full so I had alot of illumination to help my night sight. At first I seemed like someone in a ghillie suit. But I quickly realized it wasn’t as it cover the halfway to the chicken coops in just a few steps. I yelled out stop or I’m going to fire. The thing stops and I can see it stare directly up at me and bare its teeth. It let’s out this ungodly roar and barrels toward me. I quickly switched my weapon to fire and open up on it at about 75 ft.
I empty my first mag and was reloading my second when it slammed the side of the barn shaking it. It aimed down and emptied another half a mag directly down on it. It looked up at my yelled and again and made a beeline straight back into the woods. My heart was pounding. I have done 2 combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan and this rattled me to my bones. I waited till morning to climb down and make my way back to uncle’s house. I told him what I saw and what I did. We went back and couldn’t find blood but found some partial tracks.
We ended up calling our family friend who was a Missouri Conservation Officer and he came out. I told him my story and with a serious face and tone he told me dont tell anyone and hed handle it. Well there’s my story.”

Wonder what the Conservation Officer did. If there was no blood to see sasquatch was probably not hurt very badly.
Maybe he took off to another place if the chickens were not bothered after that night.

I lay you very good odds some very unsavory characters show up sooner or later to “deal” with the problem – which, in their eyes, will be more-so the witness than the creature.

A follow up show needs to be done on this one. I’m sure he has many more details to tell.

Sasquatch has a vengeance streak- I wonder if it ever came back? Love to hear more, thanks Wes…
Renee S
I also would like to know if it ever returned…

Kind of shocking that the Bigfoot shook off a clip and an half of bullets as if they were nothing.

This would be really good episode. I don’t think I could have fired as it was banging the barn (or moved at all), jeez, I’d have had a coronary lol ?

When he started shooting, at 75 feet, at night, he did not know what he was shooting at, but he knew it was not a coyote! So why shoot!?
Amy H
Holy moly! That guys got big ones! I love people like that. Bet that critter didn’t come back! Good story! I hope we get to hear it.

Would really like to here more of this story! Moonlite night with night optics (almost cheating) what type of bullet was used? How much did this fur bag weigh? 75 feet and closing with the first mag, did any of the rounds slow down or stand this brute up? then unloading 1/2 of another mag straight down on it, certainly this Sasquatch’s day was ruined, actually (Kentucky fried I imagine) when it went back to the tree line how did it carry itself? Was it crippled up, or slowed down at all? I’m sure there are a lot more details here, would love to hear it all. Glad to hear your safe. Thank you for your service. salute!

Matthew, We have a well seasoned vet here to do a job which requires shooting at night. with a near full moon w/night optics. I see no problem here! Wether this chicken snatcher turns out to be a stray dog, Wiley coyote, or the ghost of Col.Sanders himself, this man said: STOP, OR I WILL SHOOT! It doesn’t matter what language this statement is communicated in, its universal. Mat put yourself in this mans boots… One I would like to think you would have done the same thing and lit him up like a pinball machine also. Or two you may have sat there and pissed yourself, and in the case of the later, I think you may not have even finished the 1st nite of surveillance, in the dark, all alone, and by yourself, there fore you would’nt have been there the next night ether to engage the would be yard bird rustler. My hat is off this man. If there was something I could have changed here, I would like to have been there to back him up with a bigger rifle.
