A listener writes “My first encounter (visual encounter) I was camping on my old hunting property in Georgia. I do a lot of stalk and glass hunting. So I had followed a deer down into a holler and I was camping in a field up from where I tracked the deer.
So I set up camp and had a fire going, And I kept hearing something moving around in the woods around me. I just blew it off. I figured it was a coyote that was intrigued by the fire but than I heard this guttural growl kind of that of a bull gator when you get to close but there’s no water around me so it caught me off guard.
So I took my flash light and shined it around and at the wood line there was what I believe to be a male squatch, Crouched down at the wood line growling at me like I had gotten to close to his turf, I assume this behavior to be him saying Go away. When I stood up he stood up slapped his chest and gave out a crazy guttural scream. I can’t even describe it when he did that I kicked out my fire got my gun and set back out for my truck. Never looked back or turned back. I think when he saw me turn and walk away he knew he got his point across.
I’ve also been hunting and smelled one as well I think it was the same one or its a family group
Thanks for all that your doing for those of us to share our encounters and letting us get it off our shoulders.”

That was to close glad you got out ok. I don’t know about you but the hard part for me is trying to make sense of it all. I’ve had a couple of encounters myself and man it can do a number on your psyche. Stay Safe
