A hunter has claimed the he spotted the illusive Bigfoot – and did nothing about it.

Despite nobody knowing if Bigfoot is real, sightings are becoming more and more common in the United States.

And an a hunter identified only as “Beau” told the Sasquatch Chronicles podcast that he had the beast in the scope of his rifle for “20 minutes”.

Although he doesn't say where he was located, he recalled: “Immediately, when I seen it, it was so black that I thought it was a bear.

“I put my gun up on the shooting rail and scoped it.

“It was going down to the ground and stands up real tall – like a person.

“I thought it was a bear, then I thought it was a man . . . I can't tell exactly what it is, but it doesn't look like bear fur.

“I looked like something you seen in an army movie when snipers crawl through the dirt.

“This thing had big shoulders and a big back.

“He was probably around 140 yards from me, I was zooming in and out to see boots or gloves or a hat, and all I could make out with this Ghillie (camouflage) suit.

“I figured that maybe it was a poacher, but there was no gun.”

The man went on to claim that the beast walked over to a tree, stretched up and scratched the bag of his legs on it.

He also recalled that the unidentified beast just looked like a “big man”, and came as close as 40 years towards him, before disappearing into some shrub land nearby.

Fans of the podcast were quick to praise Beau for not shooting.

One user wrote: “Well, Beau, thanks for your excellent description of what you felt and witnessed. “I don’t recall ever hearing of a Sasquatch being seen hunting like that, and I’m glad you didn’t shoot.

“You’re right – it could have been on you in a flash.”

The first ever Bigfoot sighting was 1,000 years old on ancient rocks discovered by Spanish explorers in the 16^th century.
