Sasquatch Attacked Hunter 2013

[RicInOR]

Court overturns conviction of man who said he was Sasquatch

an Oregon man attacked a hunter while claiming to be a Sasquatch.

Washington County deputies arrested Norgren in October 2013, saying the 20-year-old was naked when he hit a 58-year-old hunter with a rock and tried to choke him in woods west of Portland.

Despite suffering multiple injuries, the hunter, Jeff McDonald, fought back and held his attacker at gunpoint until authorities arrived. Norgren was lying in a fetal position.
McDonald told The Oregonian/OregonLive after the trial that he asked Norgren during their struggle: "Why are you trying to kill me?" He said Norgren replied, "'Sasquatch kills the hunter.'"


Jurors convicted Norgren of assault and attempted murder, and Washington County Judge Thomas Kohl sentenced him to 10 years in prison.

Well you can say that but if you were in the woods and saw something walking like a human world you shoot it and if so let me know where you hunt at so I can stay away from that area lol obviously if it's attacking you your going to defend yourself but you have to consider the following anti hunters will go to to stop hunting there are crazy people out there just like in the city if your going to drop the hammer on someone or something you better know if is good bad real or fake or whatever or face 8 to 16 for manslaughter

So couple things. I always carry a side arm in the woods so if I would have seen a naked man walking towards me I would have demanded he stop or I would protect myself. If he kept coming at me then he would have gone down. There are ways to do things properly. Two I always have a hunting buddy with me so you get a hold of that person on a two way radio (probably laughing my azz off at first ) telling him to get his azz to you so you have a witness.

I sure as hell wouldn't let some crazed dumb azz walking the woods naked get anywhere near me. Especially not knowing what his intentions are.

Well not solved but buried anyway

Yeeeesh .... I've encountered some, eh-hem, unique individuals whilst out in the hinterland on more than one occasion. Thankfully, I haven't encountered a person this mentally deranged. It is good to hear the hunter made it out with minimal injuries.

P.S. Totally agree with @SKrueger. For a couple decades now, I always carry a holstered sidearm when out in the wild. You never know what crazy critter (slithering, four legged, or walking upright) one might find.
