Arms outstretched and a blur it moved so fast

2008, Bayfield County, Wisconsin

I was telling a long-time friend about a BF sighting a common friend of ours had related to me. He said, “You know, I saw something several years ago.” He went on to say he was fishing on the Sioux River near Big Rock in Bayfield County as he had for nearly 20 years. He was upstream where the River crosses Big Rock Road. He was walking along the bank on the way back, focusing on his footing as he had chest waders on carried his rod. He looked up as a black animal, 3-4 feet tall, on the next bend in the river, about 60-70 feet ahead of him, seemed to do at the same time.

He watched as it immediately “launched” itself away from him “arms outstretched” and a “blur” it moved so fast, “cut into the water at least 10 feet into the river and made a splash” then disappeared under the water. He watched and waited at least 3 minutes for it to surface but it never did. He thought about going to the sandbar it was originally on to check for tracks but would have had to backtrack several bends in the river, cross, then “bushwhack” all the way on the opposite side. He was already sweating and decided to just walk on out to the car. He said, “I can just kick myself for not going back to check.”

The animal was about the size of a yearling bear, but definitely not a bear. The things that struck him were the outstretched arms and speed and power when it dove into the river.

    Northern Wisconsin, way north; I’m shocked! (HA). There are still many places here in the Badger State, where I would be leery to venture-on my own. Does not surprise me one bit, that the fisherman saw what he did. Just glad he just saw it, and nothing else.

    Hello,

    Glad to see a report from Wisconsin. As David said Wisconsin is filled with large wooded forests. There is a wide variety of habitats in Wisconsin and all could sustain a population of Sasquatch. Unlike many parts of the Midwest Wisconsin isn’t as flat and it has lots of water. The whitetail deer populations are large. This state was covered by the last glacier but the glacier left a lot of hills and fall off. I want to mention Lake Michigan and Lake Superior border the state. In the 411 books there are clusters of people who go missing. You’ll also notice the towns and cities are spaced out. As an example; it takes six hours to drive from Milwaukee to Minneapolis MN. If you were to take 94 you’ll see great gapes of forrested and swampy areas. The native American’s in the state have names for these creatures as far down in Milwaukee. Milwaukee is in the Southeastern corner, 90 miles north of Chicago. If you look at this stretch it’s populated, but there are a lot of ponds and there are even state parks along this corridor. I believe these creatures visited my grandmothers house during the late summer and fall. Her house was in Menomonee Falls which is west of Milwaukee in Waukesha county. I strongly believe people in Wisconsin, Michigan (especially upper), Illinois, and in Minnesota see these creatures. Wisconsin is known for the “dogmen” type. I also believe the teasing someone receives for seeing one in these states is far greater than any other part of the country. Part of this is because of the idea a Sasquatch wouldn’t live in these states and the culture of disbelief in these states.

    I appreciate this encounter being posted. Bye the way there is some great fishing, hunting, and camping to be had in Wisconsin. The state has a wonderful state park system.

    The above areas of Wisconsin are from Door County, which is north of Green Bay on the East end. Second I don’t know where this swamp is. Third is a State park on the Western Park of the state Bording Iowa. If you watch the film the Wisconsin is one of the rivers the other is the Missippi, the last is Devils Lake in the middle of the state.
