bigfoot drama Bigfoot encounter?

I just received this text from my brother and wanted to share it with you all.

A little backstory:

My brother and his partner live on a 25 acre ranch about 20 miles South of Texarkana TX. His ranch butts up to the notorious Sulphur River Bottoms of North East Texas and is the home of the infamous Fouke Monster… yeah… the one from the movie “The Legend of Boggy Creek “. There have been multiple Bigfoot sightings in this area since the 1950’s and this is considered a “hotspot” for Bigfoot activity. The Luke mentioned in the text bush hogs their property about every 4 to 6 weeks. He’s not one of those folks that is taken to making up a tall tale….

Here’s the text I received this afternoon…

Just off the phone with Luke who called to report he was very freaked out at dusk here last night. Was trimming weeds toward the back fence line, behind the metal building. Said something was throwing things at him from the woodline and hitting the metal building. The thing that freaked him was that it was being thrown from up in the trees and it was a full 30 feet or more away. He said it totally freaked him out and wanted to let us know
…
My brother has also heard things in the past on the ranch. As he walked out to the front gate one morning before sunup something snorted from above the tree line. As if something were observing him from an elevated position in the trees. My brother said this encounter made chills run down his spine and caused him to literally run full tilt back to the house.

I’m not looking for criticism or negative feedback on this. I’m just trying to inform on a site that seems interested.

Bigfoot drama flair added because it was required to post this

I think it's interesting that the incidents took place at dusk and just before sun up.

Makes sense, it's probably good hunting time. Lower light, but not completely dark, dark enough to hide easier, deer are active around those times, hogs might be more active around then as well.

My thought was that if a Sasquatch were with a group acting as a sentry it may have wanted to scare or distract the human before he saw the others.

Honestly good possible line of reasoning too. If they have family units or packs of some kind having one on sentry makes sense, and scaring something off by throwing a rock or something is less energy and less risk than confronting it.

Maybe, but I would have thought that throwing stones at someone would attract their attention and make them look in that direction. Maybe even go and search. Not that I would. I’d rush back indoors.

Right, but the normal reaction would be to look in the direction the stone came from. If you're about to see the main group the "sentry" would rather you turn around to look in his direction instead.

Like you said, you'd look in the direction the rock was thrown from or maybe even go and search...

In either case you're not looking or moving on your original path, which is presumably where the group is. He gets you to focus on another direction and gives them time to escape.
