monsters do exist but nearly all are human mate, or inhuman should i say,
you say you saw the eyes through the scope??? what about the rest of it??? what was it like....... if you had camera to photograph the footprint why not photograph the animal itself???
Bigfoot is an old legend, a fairy story from ancient times, and it doesn't matter how many crap programmes showing bad footage of a man running around in a bear suit will convince me otherwise, to me its like the Lochness monster over here,
a simple publicity stunt to attract holidaymakers and enthuse nutters people under stressful circumstances perceive odd things sometimes, the fact you picked up and loaded your gun tells me you were under stress, the brain will attempt to make sense of something it cant quite make out, and bigfoot must have be in your mind, an old tv programmes, things you have seen online, it all adds up mate, possibly just a bear checking you out mate just a bear.......the so called footpint could be anything frankly i'm not having a go, simply trying to rationalise your perception no offence maybe next time you could photograph the animal, proof is paramount buddy....
