"Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views." William F Buckley, Jr
Oh my. I know it's late. But when I saw the topic of this 'true personal story' was about Bigfoot.
This is what instantly came to mind.....
I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
So, this is for them.

Sure! Looks like Google Maps took this picture during the winter, so you can see more terrain under Satellite View.
So the old Lodge we lived in is at : 62.518572, -146.719792
The beginning of that trail is right across the lake at : 62.521092, -146.720822 (the old ruins are in that clearing between that trail and the lake, if they're not all gone by now)
The trail curves around to the left along that ridge line, and comes down into that swamp. The bigfoot was across it from me at : 62.522032, -146.724426, running due North.
Bo was caught in that trap at : 62.520671, -146.742353

It's been a LONG time - because you're old - but have you thought of reporting it to BFRO?
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
I never did report it to anywhere 'official' because it seems most of those seem hoaxy. I don't want to be involved in some bullshit media circus with some nutjob who is only looking to get attention.

It's impossible to describe the smell. I say skunk because that smell has a certain heavy musk to it along with the pungent quality... but this was a heavier, muskier, oily kind of funky smell. I was glad that Bo came back smelling like that, or my Dad would have written it off to an overactive 12 year old's imagination and the whole family got to smell it as we tried to get the dog free of it. It took several days and several Dawn dishsoap washings to finally make him tolerable to be around.

Consider BFRO - they are probably the most-respectible. You're a solid witness, and a solid story.

I was referring to Boogyman running away as part of his comment about a day in AK woods. I can sure understand your running away after seeing and smelling that thing. I don't doubt your story, I consider you a credible person. I too have to wonder how a creature like that could avoid being trapped or killed for hundreds of years not to mention remains not found anywhere. The smell seems to be a give away for when it's near.
If you smell it again go for a selfie with it.
When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.
You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.
It's been 31 years since that event... not sure it'll do much good, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to add my story to their database.
I never thought of using Google Maps to that story, good call Darin.
Did you guys pull it up and look? Pretty cool that the resolution is so high, you can see snowmachine tracks everywhere and the trail and the swamp.

The only time I seen Big Foot was when I woke up with my Ex wife at her mothers house, it was horrible ugly as hell and then I heard my ex call her mom
