It’s All Fun and Games Until the Dogman Stands Up! - Dogman Encounters Episode 407

In 1989, tonight’s guest, Christopher, was working for an outfitter that was based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, that did a lot of canoe trips into the Atchafalaya Basin. The Atchafalaya Basin is the largest wetland and swamp in the United States. It contains the largest contiguous block of forested wetlands in the Lower Mississippi River Valley. Needless to say; there are a lot of areas in the Atchafalaya Basin that people rarely go to. Back then, Christopher’s boss decided that he wanted to get together with a famous, local photographer and teach people how to shoot photography in the wild. They decided to use a place called Belle River as a starting point. On a Monday evening, in late spring of 1989, Christopher, his boss, and the photographer drove about an hour south, from Baton Rouge to the Belle River area and set up camp after getting there. The next day, they got into their canoes and headed into the swamp. After heading about 5 miles into the swamp, they came upon a shell island where they decided to set up a base camp. That evening, at dusk, Christopher was alone, on the island, because the other men had headed deeper into the swamp to look for things to photograph. Christopher was about 5 feet from the water’s edge when suddenly, he saw what he initially took to be a huge dog swimming by, from his left to his right, just 15 feet from shore. It wasn’t long, though, before he’d realize that it wasn’t a dog he was looking at. It was a totally different animal he was looking at!If you’d like to help support the show, by buying your own Dogman Encounters t-shirt, sweatshirt, tank top, or coffee mug, please visit the Dogman Encounters Show Store, by going to… https://Dogman-Encounters.MyShopify.com If you've had a Dogman encounter and would like to speak with me about it, whether you'd like to keep your encounter confidential or be interviewed on a show, please go to… https://DogmanEncounters.com and submit a report.
