“My friend and I for lack of a better term are research partners. Several years ago my friend moved back to his home state of Oklahoma… Late One night he took his teenage daughter out on an old country road to star gaze..He brought his night vision with as is his custom..Well as they were watching the stars they heard something creeping up towards their truck that was parked along side this road..My friend naturally tells his daughter thats a Bigfoot creeping up to watch us.. He hands her the nightvision and tells her to watch that area and he is going to go flush the bigfoot and she could watch him get up and run towards the woods.. As he is walking she sees whats laying in the tall grass and she tells her dad..I can see its ears… My friend says Wow,, he is that close?..She tells her dad,, I am really scared you better get back here..So my friend walks back to the the truck and takes the nightvison from her.. and proceeds to walk to where the so called bigfoot is laying in the grass…As he is walking towards it, he sees its eyes glowing in that eerie green light that nightvison produces.. He is pretty excited to see this… So he keeps walking closer and he then notices the eyes of something smaller next to it or being held by it..He had no idea what it was.. So he hits the infrared spot light that most night vision scopes have..Its like an invisible flashlight allowing you to see even better in the dark… It was then he realized he was not looking at a bigfoot.. The glow of the eyes squinted into slits as it watched him..He then noticed the ears..Not what he was expecting but ears like a German Shepherd..Straight up and alert and focused on him.. He could see its muzzle, not so much like a German shepherd but pitbull like..In the night vision he could make out a pattern in its coat from the shoulders down to the forelimbs..It was then he realized he was looking at something unknown to him..He said it was the size of a tiger..He tuned off the infrared spotlight and its eyes stopped squinting.. He then came to his senses and discovered he was only 20 feet away from it..He slowly backed up never taking his eyes off it..Got in his truck started it and took off..His daughter was besides herself telling him I told you I saw its ears….He called me the next morning to tell me what he saw..Still shook up about it.. We both thought Dogmen were just mistaking identities for a bigfoot…I insisted he may have seen a Stripped Hyena from what he described and he told me…Hyenas are not the size of a tiger.. Come to find out later that the locals in that area of Oklahoma are well aware of these things..They told him he was lucky he didn’t disappear… cause they will kill and eat you never to be seen again..Just like it was common knowledge..” – Rick C
