HELENA- A man in Helena is claiming to have been shot at after being mistaken for Bigfoot.
Lewis and Clark County Sheriff's Office tells us a man was target practicing in the North Hills when he was forced to take cover after shots were fired in his direction.
Once the bullets stopped flying, the man claims he approached the shooter to try to get an explanation.
"[The shooter] said, 'I was out hunting Bigfoot.' Thought he was Bigfoot, and he said no he wasn't Bigfoot, and then the guy said you should be wearing orange. It seemed like a non-emotional approach to something that's extremely serious,” said Leo Dutton, the Lewis and Clark County Sheriff.
Police say the man called in the report the day after the incident. He couldn't remember who he talked to and gave a description of a black Ford F-150 that the man had.
Police checked the area and found no vehicle.
The man didn't want to press charges, and police say they haven't heard about any other leads in this situation.
I am guessing that in other parts of the world people are mistaken for being a Yeti.
This sounds like total bullshit to me.
He must be some “good lookin’ guy!”
Is it Bigfoot season already?
Smells like fish and stank. I don’t believe this story.
Never wear white in winter. You might ne mistaken for the Abominable Snowman.
I only get to use “abominable” once a year and TODAY IS THE DAY! Yippee!
The dude seriously needs to shave his back...
Wow... the guy must have been pretty darn ugly to be mistaken for bigfoot..! :)
So what if Bigfoot starts wearing an orange vest?
I wouldn't be surprized if you could find orange tall kitchen bags.
It's the color of, "I'm a human ... don't shoot me" that all hunters learn at a very early age.
Big Mike? That you??
Isn’t bigfoot on the endangered species list?
It is rare, indeed, when we allow Mike O into our beloved state of Montana...
And hunting season is OVER.
So, a man spots the rarest creature on the planet, and his first response is to shoot it?........................
What’s his shoe size?
It happens.
I was once mistaken for somebody that gives a $h:t.
The hunter is an idiot. Bigfoot meat is too tough to eat and the hide isn’t worth squatch. Trust me.
Wow. There’s Florida weird ... California weird ... even Alabama weird. I think this story qualifies as Montana weird.
