I am a retired Wildlife Biologist who believes in the existence of Bigfoot. So it was just natural that I should be drawn to the various Bigfoot Campfire Stories books written by fishing guide Rusty Wilson.In this book Rusty present 12 new stories he has collected over the years from his fishing clients, at the end of a hard day of fishing, while relaxing around the evening campfire. The 12 stories in this collection vary considerably in their interpretation of the behavior of the individual Bigfoot encountered by each story teller. In some cases the creatures seemed to be friendly and tolerant, while in other cases they seemed very aggressive and not at all willing to accept humans in their territory.Is that so very different from human beings themselves? Some of us are friendly and tolerant, others of us are aggressive and very intolerant. Some people point out the apparent discrepancies in the reported behavior, as proof the animals (if that's what they are) do not exist. Quite to the contrary, that highly varied behavior indicates to me a much stronger evidence that they DO exist, than if every encounter related the same behavior in each specimen.The tales in this collection are very hard to put down, once you've started reading them. One of the stories even takes place a few short miles from my house! It makes me want to go on an extended camping trip in the vicinity of the sighting, just on the off-chance I might be lucky enough to see one for myself. If not for the fact that this particular sighting was of one of the more aggressive beasts, I might do just that. But back to the stories.Whether or not YOU believe in Bigfoot, you will find yourself enthralled by this collection of stories. Some of the story tellers knew immediately it was a Bigfoot they had encountered. Others did not realize that fact until some time later, when they had a chance to relate the story to a few other people. Regardless, you will come away believing that the story tellers did, in fact, believe they had encountered a Bigfoot.There is a lot more on Earth than we will ever see or know. I happen to believe Bigfoot is one of these.
