I am sure all will "Poo Poo" me on this, but I will go to my

Maker believing I saw one almost fifty years ago, not far from Santee. I was walking around the edge of some of our farm fields, wabbit hunting with my 22 rifle. All these fields at the time had some heavily wooded areas around them. I came walking out of a field road through the woods into the open at one side of about a 10 acre field.

Not long after I got out into the open, from the OPPOSITE side of the field, skirting the woods, I saw a HUGE cat that appeared to be pitch black. The reason I saw it was the fact that it had just made a scream unlike ANYTHING I have ever heard, before or since. The hair on my arms stood up so high, you could have used it for a comb. It was a huge test of bladder control as well, let me tell you.

Now, I have since seen, and heard bobcats, even heard and saw two bobcats fighting in a TREE. (This was right behind a buddy of mine's home while I was visiting, he shot them both out of the tree with a pistol, so, no doubt those were two DEAD bobcats.) This thing I saw and heard was much bigger, and that scream did NOT resemble a bobcat.

I wish I could tell you I hung around to watch it, but I did NOT. I have never been a quick runner, but I'll bet you my ~18 year old legs could have SMOKED Jesse Owens, leaving that field back down that field road that evening. I was not about to get into a situation where I had to figure out if a 22 rifle would take down a big cat. Whatever kind of big cat it turned out to be.

Of course, everyone poo-pooed me at the time, just as they will now. Butt, I had 20/TEN vision back then, and I know what those young, sharp eyes saw.

Tourist will soon be flooding the UpState. Many will die on bikes, many will have great fun.

I live in the UpState -> best place in the world to be.
This month a bear tore up my yard things. You must love things like squirrels and chipmunks to live here. I do!

My Bride sat in her car making a phone call on the hill (limited cell here at the house) and watched a Mountain Lion walk around.

We have Wild Hogs and snakes of many types. I have photos from my porch chair of over 120 bird species.
Coons and possums and fox and bobcats are common.

Yanks are moving in and making "here" look like where they left, so Nature is dying out.

Here is a babe I hung out with at the last local Sasquatch festival (yearly event in Westminster).

First, “Lizard Man”, now “Bigfoot”

Don’t be alarmed it’s probably
