Never seen one in 40 years of being in the bush in AB and BC but have heard strange things over the years from people.
First was my Mother in Law, who used live east of Creston BC at the base of a mountain land was very secluded. One brightly lit moonlit night her goats in the barn were kicking up a fuss. She went outside to see a large bear (light brown) turn, look at her, and walk away. No big deal until she asked how far can a bear walk on their hind legs??? Guess it just ran into the woods upright????
Second time was at a friend's party, and while we were talking the subject moved to hunting/hiking. One guy mentioned he was a retired Fish and Wildlife Officer from BC. I asked him if he ever saw anything neat was expecting like a white deer or wolverine, he responded he saw Bigfoot! I spit my beer up laughing, he said I was like all the other assho_es he told and walked away. Finally he told me what happened. He was around the lake west of Creston, went into a clearing early morning and 100 yards away he locked eyes with something that was fur covered and a biped. They look at each and bolted. That was it really. I asked how come there is no evidence? He responded other than road kill how many deer, bears, wolverines, you ever found while hiking? I said none, that is where it left off.
Then at work I was mentioning my Mother in Law's comments and a co-worker piped up and said they had rocks thrown at their tents while in SW Alberta in the foothills and heard weird howling but saw nothing in the dark.
This summer while in the Columbia Valley, my buddy's wife said her friend was checking his game cameras to find a new place to hunt around Cranbrook, and saw a single strange picture snapped out of focus very late at night on his game cam. Guess it looked humanoid but was more animal looking. Tried to get the pic but heard nothing back so it be just camping talk or it was someone walking in the bush at 2 in the morning, who knows.
He was so spooked that he will not go back to the area as he has never seen anything like this for all his years hunting BC.
So who really knows????
I will just stay neutral, as none of these people knew each other, and these incidents happened over the span of 15 years.
