A listener writes “I am from South Texas near Corpus Christi. My dad works for the oil fields driving a water disposal truck so he goes out on these big leases.
He was telling me how he went out to the ranch one day and he had to drive a couple miles in to the tank. He got out of the truck and he felt like he was being watched. His dog would not come out of the truck. He shook it off and went to connect the hoses to the truck to load the water when he says he got growled at.
My dad was stationed in Ft. Lewis, he grew up in the woods he knows all the animal sounds. We have bobcats and hogs down here but he swears it wasn’t a bobcat or a hog. Down here it’s the hogs you gotta worry about. He again ignored it and went about his business. He says that he saw something big run behind a tree. He just saw the blur not anything to specific but it was enough to make him get out of dodge.
He then told me that his buddy who is a foreman of the ranch told him that they actually had the government come down there to catch this thing because it was killing the livestock and scaring the hands and roughnecks bad. I know it’s not much and you may think it’s too hot in South Texas for them big things but from what I’ve been told there’s lots of boogers down here. I have some more strange occurrences if you’d like for me to tell you about it.”

Where (generally) in South Texas? I have a very small ranch in Pearsall Tx. and although it look desolate it has plenty of deer and hog and javelina to keep them fed.
DOUG S
Trent…you know that on the way to Pearsall, going down I35, there is an exit called Bigfoot…I wonder why that is? 😉
Derek R
I’ve seen that

The town of Bigfoot in South Texas is named after William A. (Bigfoot) Wallace. He was a Texas Ranger in the 1840’s and 1850’s. He got the name when he tracked down a Waco Indian chief named Chief Bigfoot for killing and scalping one of his buddies. Bigfoot Wallace is a legendary Texas hero…

I work near the Texas stateline (headed to Pecos) and I see a huge stick structure on a river bank next to the highway. On the other side of the bank is a smaller version of the structure. I will try to send you a pic , Wes. I’ve had water truck drivers tell me about some weird stuff thats happened to them out in the oil fields at night…and we’re in the desert.
David M
Now THAT is interesting

oil fields tend to be open, flat lying area, very little brush or forest — with that said this creature was still making appearances? Scary stuff.

They had the government come catch it?! I wonder if they shot it or they sedated it and then picked it up? Texas is awesome.
Julie D
I’d I’ve to hear how the government got involved!

Wonder how the Waco chief got his name then?. Makes you think that the Comanches, Kiowas and other Texas/ Oklahoma tribes might have a tale or two to tell about Sasquatch?. The Navaho have stories and encounters. It would be good for someone in that region to maybe ask the Comanche and other tribes their take on this subject?. Send in the outlaws!.
