YEAR: 1972

SEASON: Summer

MONTH: September

STATE: Minnesota

COUNTY: Washington County

LOCATION DETAILS: Big Marine Lake, about two miles west of Cory's Swamp.

OBSERVED: I was bowhunting and just sitting in my stand looking around and it walked about 75 yards away. It was a long time ago and I did not know about Bigfoot at that time and told my partner I had seen a swish (gay) bear because of the way it swung it's arms and hands.

ALSO NOTICED: Just saw it walk by.

OTHER WITNESSES: I was bowhunting from a tree stand.

OTHER STORIES: If I had known at that time what it was I would have reported it. I do not know if this report will do any good but it might help with a travel pattern for them. This place is not too far from the St. Croix River.

Have there been many sightings in Minnesota?

ENVIRONMENT: It was in the woods near a large swamp at the time it was mostly farming country.
