Yeah, I found no blood just a few tracks in the hard ground. The big black one sounded like it only ran about 50-60 yards and then stopped and started thrashing around. It made a lot of noise as it ran away. When I heard it thrashing around I thought it was in its death throes and was finished. I was not about to go tracking that monster in the dark though. I came back the next morning but found nothing. I guess they didn't die because I never saw any buzzards either. I know I didn't miss, it was only about 60 yards or so.

Perhaps you should limit your comments to things that you actually know something about. Apparently you know little to nothing about guns and ammunition. You don't even know the difference between a rifle and a shotgun. By the way, I have some slugs that have velocities higher than 1510 fps, although the weight of the slug is 1 oz. I have some Black Aces Tactical 1 oz slugs that have a velocity of 1640 fps. In your world I guess those slugs will destroy the universe. 7.62x39 and 30/30 have velocities considerably faster than any 12 ga slug.

Yeah, if Bigfoot actually does exist, I would think that we are dealing with something that has all of the instincts and abilities of a wild animal, while at the same time has intelligence approaching that of a human being. I would probably go unarmed sometimes if I wasn't concerned with poachers and feral hogs. When I was a child, starting before I was even a teenager, I would camp alone in these woods, often with little or no equipment. Sometimes, all I had was a pair of cut-off jeans, a pocket knife, some matches, some fishing line and a few hooks. That was it! I was almost feral. Those were the days...

I heard bigfoot migrates also. He was probably just passing through.

The area where I am knocking and the area where I am hunting are not the same.
