The Death of a Myth...Bigfoot.
Throughout humanity, in every culture, there have been rumors of monsters. In our stories, in our dreams, and in our nightmares. Every myth is based on reality. Something or "Some Thing" was witnessed by someone, that was out of the ordinary. These accounts were often written down, and passed on from generation to generation. Be it sea monsters, dragons, fairies, or hobbits, these creatures were real...to someone. Among the many mythical monsters, one has been a topic of discussion and published in written accounts by some very reputable people including Theodore Roosevelt, and Daniel Boone. A huge, hairy, Wildman of the Woods. Although many names are frequently used in reference to this monster like Sasquatch, Yowie, and Yeti, the creature is commonly called Bigfoot. On September 6th, 2012 the myth of Bigfoot died.
The Birth of a Legend...Rick Dyer.
On that day, September 6th 2012, in a wooded area outside of San Antonio, Texas, a young man named Rick Dyer turned that myth into flesh and blood reality. He confronted and killed a monster. Standing almost 8ft tall and weighing over 700 lbs., this was the creature known as Bigfoot. For many years, the scientific world has insisted on, and would settle for no less than a body to prove the existence of the species. They have had that "specimen" in their possession for over a year. Some of the most prominent scientists and researchers in the world have, and will continue to study this amazing discovery. Upon doing so, it will lead to a world wide recognition of this animal and therefore instigate protection of the species. The world as we know it will change, the history books will have to be re-written, and above all, the people who have been fortunate enough to have had an encounter with this so called "myth" will be vindicated. All because of the determination and courage of one young man from Georgia. And among the many accounts of credible witnesses throughout history, his name will stand above the rest. Only one person will carry the title of "The Best Bigfoot Tracker in the world", thus the beginning of a legend....Rick Dyer.
