Two sightings by Cree man north of The Pas
YEAR: 2002
SEASON: Fall
MONTH: September
DATE: 8
PROVINCE: Manitoba
COUNTRY: Canada
LOCATION DETAILS: The location is 12 miles north of The Pas, Manitoba on highway 10 and then 3 miles to the left on dirt road
NEAREST TOWN: The Pas
NEAREST ROAD: No. 10 highway
OBSERVED: I was out moose hunting in September of 2002 north of The Pas,Manitoba approximately 15 miles away and well off the main highway 10 heading north west. I was in my tree stand that i had built in the month of August and is about 13 feet off the ground facing a small river and a large clearing. The incident happened at about 10:00 pm when the light is just above the tree line and can't see much of the ground, it started when i called in a bull moose, the moose was no more then 200 yards away from me and moving toward the clearing. I heard somthing to my left and walking toward the moose. This thing was walking fast as it only took it about a few seconds to cross the clearing.The moose of course stopped grunting and took off very fast the opposite direction. I thought this was a bigger moose and was excited at the prospect of bagging a big bull moose. The sound of the steps came around along the bushline to my right after that and came closer to my stand. I got ready with my 30-06 british enfield and as the thing got about 50 yards fom me, my tree stand gave me up by making a small creeking sound when i moved a bit to get up from my chair. I seen this thing and it was'nt a moose but a sasquatch, still fairly young, it stood about 8-9 feet tall, judging it's mass probably weighing in the area of 320-350 lbs. When the boards on my stand creeked the sasquatch ducked behind some willow trees and that's where it stayed for the next 30-40 minutes observing me and I it. The sasquatch eventually made its way going toward the north east and i went on with my hunt. I eventually bagged a bull moose at about 4:00 am the next day and i had an experience i'll probably never forget. If this animal wanted to kill me it probably would have done it, but i feel that they are harmless if a person does'nt panic and start shooting it for nothing.
ALSO NOTICED: The thing ducked immediately once it heard an unframiliar sound. automatic reaction as if it were taught to do so.
OTHER STORIES: We have always heard of stories and we have had some wierd experiences around The Pas hunting areas within the past few seasons like wierd sounds or calls at night when we hunt.
TIME AND CONDITIONS: 10:00 PM (APPROX.)
ENVIRONMENT: calm, large clearing with some willow trees, small river running through
