Publisher-sourced overview

Source overview

Bigfoot Eyewitness Radio Episode 526 features Nick Purswell, an outdoorsman who had moved from eastern Oregon to Bozeman, Montana. The publisher description places the central event on November 11 during an elk hunt roughly 45 minutes southeast of Great Falls, where Purswell was watching from a rock bluff and initially thought he was observing a bear. In the interview, Purswell explains why the figure’s appearance and movement led him to reject that identification and consider a Sasquatch interpretation.
