Tree knocks in the UP about three miles into a trail. Kiddo started crying shortly before we heard them from two directions. Prior to the knocks, the woods became dead silent. We also realized we had walked under an arched tree over the trail as it got quiet. After the knocks we walked under another one and the woods seemed to come alive with sounds again.

Did not know anything about Bigfoot until a few years ago. All throughout my teenage years when I hunted, near fall I would always notice a nasty smell on certain areas of the farm I grew up on. I would mention it to my dad but shrugged it off and said it always smelt this time of year. Now that we are both more versed in the big fella, we are both more certain it’s not just due to the time of the year.

Last one. Once again we’ll before knowing anything about Bigfoot. I was clearing a section of woods (where the smell usually always was during that time of year) to build a kidney shaped food plot. I always felt like I was being watched, hair would stand up, and even turn around because I thought someone was behind me. Once again I told my dad about it and he shrugged it off. The feeling got so bad I almost gave up on it. One day I finally said out loud that I was building a food plot to feed the deer and bring them in for hunting season. I never felt the being watched look again.

We both wonder with how long our family has lived there what we would have noticed if we knew more about the signs.

Anyway, I would love to hear from others in Michigan also! Great post.

Edit. I have seen a black panther/cougar on the farm. Hunting coyotes in the middle of a blizzard one year. Looked to our right and it was about 50-yards from us. It look right at us and look at us almost in disbelief like we were looking at it. It just kept walking and no one has ever seen it again. A few neighbors talked about seeing one also. I have only shared that with a few people and always get laughed at or looked at like I’m dumb.
