A listener writes “I am a retired lawman/judge still in my 50’s and going strong, when you become a cop at 18 and get your 30 you get to retire early and then go enjoy life.
I own a cattle ranch in Texas. One got real up & close to me in the Sabine National forest and I gave him a dose of hot lead as he followed me or skirted me down a logging road. He screamed and roared as he tore through the brush running the other direction, we tracked him for about 2 days and did not find him. I made the huge mistake of telling some of my co workers (other Law Enforcement Officers) about what I had seen and witnessed on my many trips into the woods.
I was set to be promoted to Sgt Investigator and when the date passed for promotion I inquired as to what happened? I was informed that when I shared some of my BF encounters with others I became no longer credible and therefore not up to the standards of supervision. I shut my mouth and did not share any BF info with anyone for sometime except others close in the know…. I had enough of that treatment so I ran for office as the local Judge or Justice of The Peace. Needless to say I began keeping my BF hunts, outings or excursions to myself or just my tiny little group.”

I really enjoyed hearing about this witness’s encounter and it is inspiring to hear how brave and bold this man is. I lived in a small town on the Texas border, and people talk and judge you in a small town sometimes. It’s said folks always know your business whether it’s small towns or just the office. Bigfoot sightings are meant to be shared, and it’s sad when you can’t tell a few people about it; but, who are they, anyway, to say who is credible and who isn’t. How credible will they be when they’ve been paralleled in the woods and come out weaponless crying like a bunch of scared babies? 🙂 Go get em’ judge, and now you’re retired. Good for you.

Well stated Linda.

Thanks for filling us in on your encounter and experience. It’s sad the way folks judge others because what happened doesn’t fit their narrative.

Thank you for sharing. None of this surprises me. I worked in the Defense Department for more than 30 years, and never let anyone know of my interest in sasquatch. Many (or at least some well-placed) people would have started treating me differently, viewing me as something of a weirdo. For the sake of my career, I couldn’t risk going there. It’s a shame that greater openness isn’t allowed.
