Never given it much thought. One of the places I grew up hunting was an old plantation, still had the big house and some of the folks that lived in town grew up working the land. I remember talking to an old black man, probably 90 years old, that grew up on that land and he was telling us stories about when he was a kid and that there was something strange roaming the woods. They had been seeing a big foot like creature and it had been spooking the farm workers. Said they walked up on it one time in a field and it was hunched down in some brush. As they got closer it stood up taller than a human, growled and then ran off. Said it was covered in brown hair and was human like. That would have been in the 1920’s or 1930’s. I alwasy thought it was a bear and my guess is legend, lore and an uneducated culture probably created a myth that it was something else.
