Here is a recent news report about Tim Peeler, of North Carolina, who claims a Bigfoot-type creature encroached on his property in Cleveland County:

If I take Mr. Peeler at his word about this incident, I'll say it handled it right. He says the creature apparently killed one of his dogs. My instincts tells me that the Bigfoot didn't know that those dogs or any other livestock belonged to someone. I feel Mr. Peeler let that creature know that. Perhaps it understood. As he says, he "rough talked him." And Mr. Peeler is what we call "an 'ole boy," and I agree with the use of the word "git!" in such circumstances. It's just what I'd say, too!
I feel if that Bigfoot was truly aggressive, also considering its reported size, it would have acted so. But the report indicated it didn't. Not in this case.
If this account is credible, it says a lot about the nature of that Bigfoot. Basically peaceful, I'd say, and seemingly respectful of humans. At least, that human.
Peeler's 911 call to authorities can be heard here:

I will say I just have some doubt when I listen to the call. Note his slurred speech at times. I know I've sounded that way when I've "had one too many," as they say, and leave it at that.
And I came across a follow-up story, in which another man found a large footprint miles away from Peeler's stated sighting:

Decide for yourselves, all.
