In the late 1990's, a man named "Bugs" called into Coast-to-Coast AM to tell the legendary Art Bell a captivating story, claiming to have shot and buried two Bigfoots in the 1970's while hunting with his buddies in Texas. According to "Bugs," he and his two hunting buddies, all three Vietnam War veterans, were out hunting late one night. Around 3 a.m., they came around a bend in the road and saw, what they believed to be, a bear sitting in the grass.
The hunters opened fire on the animal, allegedly believing it was a bear, reloaded and then fired at least three more times. They took off in fear of having shot at a human once it ran off, upright, on two legs. When the sun came up a couple of hours later, the hunters returned to the scene. Following a trail of blood, they encountered a female being that lunged towards the men. He claimed they shot and killed her in self-defense. The next couple of hours were spent burying the dead bodies five to six feet under the sand and gravel beside a nearby creek.
