I had a 440ex (400 bored and stroked) at the time and he had a 400ex. There was a group of 6 riding down the main dirt road to head to the sand bar about 1:00 am and we were hauling ***, I saw a black flash cross the road right in front of me. After the adrenaline and panic stopped we were on the sandbar discussing it and my buddy behind me said he saw it and that I hit it in the *** end as it was crossing. he said it was a cat the size of a german shepard. I had black hair/furr on the front bumper and on my nerf bar. After talking about it we were gonna get brave and go look, we didn't see anything cause we didn't look real hard. We heard what sounded like a grown woman screaming like she was being murdered! Ya wanna talk about the fastest i have ever ridden that bike back to camp.......

come to find out one of the older guys at camp said there are panthers and bears at our camp and that it was mostlikely a panther due to the noise it made, he heard it at camp which was not far from where we were as the crow flies!

LOL I personally think its funny that people dedicate there lifes being "Bigfoot anilyzers". But it is somewhat interesting. I just dont see how we have all these pictures and videos and there is no SERIOUS evidence of one?? If I see one its dead!

this is probably the best evidence ive found

If it was a real creature like everyone thinks there would be a body/bones some where.
Common Sense.

Bears have short legs and what i saw had long legs and very long arms. Bears also use their arms for balance and keep them tucked. What I saw was swaying it's arm like a normal person would when walking. Black Bears in Oklahoma are located in the East and Southeast region of the state. I live in NW oklahoma.
I've never heard of a bear being in this part of the state. There's no way they'd make it this far without being spotted since they do tend to rummage through trash if they are looking for food. The growl I heard was also nothing like a bear.
