My Mysterious Find Several Years Ago
Mysterious Footprint in Bridgewater, Somerset County NJ
Details: On February 2, 2009, I went hiking in Washington Valley Park. A few hikes ago in the same park, I found a footprint. Yesterday, it was no different. I was walking, and there was snow and ice practically everywhere. As I was walking, I came a cross a footprint. Now, I’m not going to lie. It wasn’t one of those 16-inch footprints that people usually find. This one was about 9-10 inches long. There were no others of its kind, which comes of no surprise. So many footprints of people were on the same path that you could barely see an intact, human footprint. This footprint was a little off to the side, so it was spared being trampled and ruined.
Was it a hoax? Well, I highly doubt that a person would go walking barefoot on snow in the middle of winter. Such actions can lead to severe health issues such as hypothermia and frostbite. If it was a hoax, man it was a good one. Yet, I doubt it was a hoax because the average person in Bridgewater would never dream of Sasquatch living under their gaze.
The Possibility of Young Bigfoot(s): It is very interesting how most alleged Bigfoot footprints are huge. If it is a real animal, then there have to be small, young and juvenile Bigfoots as well. That means varied sizes of footprints, which means smaller footprints than usual. There are occasional findings of small footprints, and I strongly believe that this may have been a young Bigfoot prowling the woods, most likely at night.
Washington Valley Park’s Nature and surrounding areas: Washington Valley Park is approximately 715.5 acres. It consists of Pine and Hemlock forests, marshes, streams, impressive mini-water falls, and impressive rock outcroppings. This park is home to wild turkey, deer, rabbit, fox, occasional coyote, eagle, hawk, etc. While a Bigfoot would find it hard to live here, it could remain in seclusion for a few days at a time, perhaps when traveling to a preferred habitat. Washington Valley Park is within Somerset County, which contains the Great Swamp Basin, which is right across from the 7,600 acre Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. Many other parks, and green, open and forested spaces exist within Somerset County. If Bigfoot is the intelligent primate many have dubbed it to be, then it most certainly would take advantage of these areas to hide during the day, and move efficiently at night.

Dead Deer Kill Found at Washington Valley Park
A few weeks ago, in the same park, I found a dead white-tailed deer. Its right, back leg was mutilated, and its guts were moved to the side. This, of course, struck me as odd. This came to be even odder after reading an article on the BFRO website. It was about how alleged Bigfoot in some parts of America, particularly in the central, have been known to kill deer. The odd fact being that they all were found dead in the same fashion: one leg broken and guts removed to the side. This was exactly how I found the deer. This really made for a weird moment! I mean, it was exactly like they stated it on the BFRO website. It was extremely weird and spine-tingling. Was this a kill made by the alleged Sasquatch of North America? It very well could be. Another fact which really was frightening as that many of the deer were uneaten. Most just were eaten a little. The deer I saw only had a little portion of the muscle surrounding the broken leg eaten. The rest stayed.
Couldn’t the killer be a predator like a coyote or fox? This is a very interesting question, and one easily dismissed. It couldn’t have been a predator like a coyote or fox. Those animals are far too small to bring down a deer of this size. As for packs of coyotes, it is possible. But the deer would have been mostly all eaten if it were a pack. The carcass was about 3 days old.
So, is this proof of Sasquatch’s diet? Well, by the finding of the footprint yesterday, and the previous deer carcass found, this may very well be Sasquatch's food source. Deer are plentiful in North America, especially in the state of NJ. Many witnesses, even here in NJ, have reported seeing tall, bipedal hairy ape-like animals chase after deer. Deer would be a valuable source of food during the winter, and all year around.
