>>760160Me and 2 guys from the locker were hiking on the backside of Rainier in 2008. We had a late start and it was dark before we hit the main trail. First we smelled rotten garbage/shit, then a loud grunt, then a 9 foot bastard steps out in front of us.
No mistake as to what it was. brown hair, pointy head, at least 3 ft across the chest, on two legs with arms reaching to knees.
I always laughed off the stories until we saw it. no words can describe how big the SOB was and just how puny the 44 mag I carried felt. It stared at us for a good minute then stomped off.
Sorry I have no blurry videos or pics as we were too busy trying to figure out wtf it was and how we were going to fight our way out of what looked to be a bad situation.
I have talked to enough guys at Lewis who take them for granted. Running joke at Lewis-Mcchord was the 2/75 and 1st group guys feel a kinship with them. They are rarely seen, hairy and stinky, avoid the press and spend most of the time doing things no one has a clue about.
All joking aside we saw a squatch no doubt, and never said a word about it. I follow a local group who hunts them now, and they make me laugh more than anything. These things seem to appear when you don't expect it. For good debate, look at the enhanced Patterson footage..Details pop that are hard to fake
