1985: My first Sasquatch sighting
Posted On: February 13, 2023

Back in November of 1985 my wife and I were on a deer hunt with my in-laws in the mountains of Northwest Montana. It was early afternoon around 1pm or so. We found a nice draw that looked good and decided to check it out.


My wife and mother in law headed down an old skidder road that went up along the far side along the creek. My father in law went up the top of the ridge to the east. And I want up the bottom to the east of the creek. We figured we might push any animals we encountered to each other.


The area had been logged several years earlier and in places you could see up to 150 yards or so. And has a lot of underbrush and patches of alder brush. Where I was, I had a lot of windfalls to work my way through. The road that the girls went down they said the road was fairly open but the trees and brush were thick on either side and they couldn't see very far. The father in law was above me one the ridge and we could catch a glimpse of each other from time to time. We were probably between 150 and 200 yards apart and 100 feet in elevation difret.


I was about 1/4 mile from the pickup when I notice that it's earally quiet. Only sound was the water trickling in the creek. I had just got to a spot where the ground was getting a lot steeper when I heard a yell.


I thought it was my father in law so I yell back "Ya". Then the yell comes again only louder. I can't understand what was said so I head twards where he should be. The yell comes again. I'm thinking he fell and hurt himself or something. I soon find him and say what's up. He said he thought it was me yelling. Then it comes again. He said I'll work my way down to the rig and see if it's the girls. I said it don't sound like them. But I'll go back down to the creek and see if I can find them. We separate and now the yelling is coming pretty regular.


I get back down in the bottom and the yell is echoing all around me. I can't see anything and can't figure where it is coming from. So I started twards where the girls should be. Unknown to me they heard the yelling got scarred and were already at the pickup.


I'm working my way down the draw trying to see what's making those noise. It was almost like a moose call but different. It was really earie and would stand the hair on your neck right up. This continues till I get down to the pickup about 20 minutes later. I walk out of the trees and here's everyone else looking for me. The yelling is still echoing down the draw and they are like what the hell is that?


They ask if I had seen what it was. I told them I didn't but it seemed to be fallowing me down the draw. It was just staying out of sight. I asked if now that we have everyone accounted for do they want to go see if we can find it. They all said no pretty much at the same time. I told them I don't think it's very far off. Then it all went quiet again.


We all started to get ready to go. I'm looking all around still trying to see anything. When I see it. I said there it is and all four of us see a big dark hairy man looking thing crossing an open ridge several hundred yards above the draw. It was moving at a good pace and crossed an area about 75 to 100 yards across in just a few seconds. It was on 2 legs the entire time and was moving faster that I can run. I always thought that there could be some truth to the sasquatch story's. But now I know of their existence. This was my first sighting. I have now has 3 sightings and several experience's. I already shared my most recent sighting on this sight and will share my second and closest sighting soon. I get a really good look at it.
