Hunters Search for a 1,000kg Bear, BUT… Stumble Upon 10′ Tall BIGFOOT!
They Hunted a 1,000-Kilogram Bear — But Found Something That Was Hunting Them
Jack Thompson had waited three years for this hunt.
Three years of applications, preparation, training, and obsession. The permit alone was harder to get than most college degrees. This wasn’t a recreational trip. This was Alaska. This was grizzly country. This was the final test for a man who believed he understood the wilderness.
He didn’t know the wilderness was about to prove him wrong.
The first warning came before the forest ever showed its teeth.
Jack noticed it the moment their skiff pushed upriver along the Chilkat—how quiet everything felt. Not peaceful. Not calm. Empty. Birds should’ve been screaming at dawn. Squirrels should’ve scattered. Instead, the forest stood still, watching.
Pete Miller noticed it too, though he didn’t say anything at first. Pete had guided hunters for thirty years. He didn’t panic easily. When he finally spoke, his voice was lower than usual.
“Something big’s been moving through here.”
Jack smiled. That was what they wanted. A monster grizzly. A thousand kilograms of muscle, claws, and raw instinct.
Or so he thought.
By the third day, they found the tracks.
At first, Jack thought Pete was joking.
The footprint was embedded deep into wet moss beside a fallen log. It was massive—longer than Jack’s forearm, wide as his chest. Five toes. Heel. Arch.
Human.
But impossible.
Pete crouched beside it, silent for a long time. When he finally stood, his face had lost all color.
“That ain’t a bear.”
Jack laughed nervously. “You sure?”
Pete didn’t laugh back.
“I’ve tracked bears bigger than trucks. I’ve seen Kodiaks stand eight feet tall. Nothing walks like this.”
As they followed the trail, the signs grew worse.
Trees snapped clean ten feet off the ground. Bark stripped at heights no animal could reach. Entire saplings twisted like they were made of wire. And everywhere—silence. The bears they had been tracking were gone.
Not wandered off.
Fled.
By dusk, Jack felt something press against his chest that had nothing to do with fear and everything to do with instinct.
They weren’t alone.
That night, they didn’t light a fire.
They ate cold food and whispered. Rifles rested inches from their hands. The forest breathed around them—slow, deep, patient.
At some point after midnight, Jack heard it.
A low rumble.
Not a growl. Not a roar.
A voice.
It echoed through the trees, vibrating through his bones. Pete’s eyes snapped open. They stared at each other without speaking. Neither wanted to say the truth out loud.
Something knew they were there.
Morning brought no comfort.
They followed the tracks deeper into terrain Pete admitted he’d avoided his entire career. The forest grew older, darker. Moss swallowed sound. The air smelled thick and metallic, like rain and blood.
Then they found the clearing.
Jack stopped breathing.
Structures rose from the earth—crude shelters built from logs and branches. Lean-tos. Piled nests. Pathways worn into the ground like foot traffic. This wasn’t a passing animal.
This was a home.
Before either man could move, the ground vibrated.
Something stepped into the clearing.
It stood over ten feet tall.
Dark fur covered a frame so massive Jack’s mind refused to process it all at once. Long arms hung nearly to its knees. Its shoulders were broad, powerful. Its head sat low, no visible neck—just raw strength.
But it wasn’t the size that broke Jack.
It was the way it moved.
Careful. Purposeful. Intelligent.
The creature picked up a woven basket made of branches and began gathering roots, berries—food. Tool use. Planning. Awareness.
Jack raised his camera with shaking hands.
Click.
The sound was tiny.
The reaction was immediate.
The creature froze.
Slowly, deliberately, it turned its head.
Its eyes locked onto Jack’s.
They weren’t animal eyes.
They were aware.
The forest exploded into motion.
A roar shattered the silence—deeper than thunder, filled with fury and warning. Pete grabbed Jack’s shoulder and whispered the only word that mattered.
“Run.”
They ran.
Branches tore at them. Roots tripped them. The roar followed—closer, faster. This thing didn’t crash blindly through the forest.
It hunted.
Jack’s lungs burned. His legs screamed. Behind him, the ground shook with every stride of the pursuing giant. Just as despair took hold, the earth vanished beneath his feet.
They fell.
The ravine swallowed them whole.
They tumbled, slammed, scraped—until the world stopped.
Above them, silhouetted against the sky, the Sasquatch stood at the edge.
It paced.
Growled.
But it did not follow.
Pete gasped, “It won’t come down.”
They didn’t wait to find out why.
They followed the ravine for hours, broken, bleeding, terrified. When they finally emerged into another clearing, Jack’s heart stopped.
Another one stood there.
Bigger.
Wider.
Surrounded by smaller figures—juveniles.
A family.
The adult reached out, gently separating two young ones that were wrestling. Protective. Calm.
Understanding crashed into Jack like a wave.
They weren’t being hunted.
They had crossed a boundary.
The first Sasquatch hadn’t chased them out of rage.
It had chased them out of mercy.
Slowly, silently, Jack and Pete backed away.
No shots fired.
No trophies claimed.
They left Alaska days later without a word to authorities. The footage disappeared. The photos vanished. The story became something they only spoke about in half-sentences and sleepless nights.
Jack still dreams of those eyes.
Not angry.
Not savage.
Warning.
Because somewhere deep in the Alaskan wilderness, something older than myths is still watching.
And it knows exactly where humans do—and do not—belong.
