The claimed sighting reported to the BFRO was reported near I-75 in Monroe County, where a 47-year-old man and his son were bow fishing near Plum Creek and railroad bridges when his dogs startled something bedding in the marsh. Their dog went after what they originally thought was a herd of deer.
“All of a sudden, I heard rustling in a tree to the left and a huge thud hitting the ground from the tree. A big heavy animal hit the ground and crouched and start moving towards me through brush. My dog fired off from the right of me toward the creature,” the 47-year-old said in the report. “The dog almost got to it but the creature shot off extremely fast through trees and brush. The dog chased the creature up the slope and over the train tracks. I then called for my dog to come back.
They described the animal as being as large as a bear but looking like a gorilla. After following the creature a short distance, they left.
BFRO Investigator Matthew Moneymaker spoke with both the father and 12-year-old son on the incident and wrote that he believes that ‘Both are credible and freshly descriptive about what happened to them this morning.’
They reported that this incident happened so fast that there was no time to even consider trying to photograph it. The whole encounter lasted less than ten seconds from beginning to end.
Moneymaker is the co-host of Finding Bigfoot on Animal Planet. He stated that the duo reported the creature to be roughly 10 feet up the tree when it jumped down. At no time was it facing the two humans. The point at which they got the clearest look at it was when it was ascending the embankment. They could see the hairy back and big butt cheeks pretty clearly for a few seconds.
According to the organization, Bigfoot reports in Michigan are relatively common, ranking 8th in the nation in Bigfoot reports.
