Subject: Man trying to create bigfoot sighting killed in Montana
KALISPELL, Mont. – A man dressed in a military-style "ghillie" suit and apparently trying to provoke reports of a Bigfoot sighting in northwest Montana was struck by two cars and killed, authorities said.
The man was standing in the right-hand lane of U.S. Highway 93 south of Kalispell on Sunday night when he was hit by the first car, according to the Montana Highway Patrol. A second car hit the man as he lay in the roadway, authorities said.
'He was trying to make people think he was Sasquatch so people would call in a Sasquatch sighting.'
- Trooper Jim Schneider
Flathead County officials identified the man as Randy Lee Tenley, 44, of Kalispell. Trooper Jim Schneider said motives were ascertained during interviews with friends, and alcohol may have been a factor but investigators were awaiting tests.
"He was trying to make people think he was Sasquatch so people would call in a Sasquatch sighting," Schneider told the Daily Inter Lake on Monday. "You can't make it up. I haven't seen or heard of anything like this before. Obviously, his suit made it difficult for people to see him."
Ghillie suits are a type of full-body clothing made to resemble heavy foliage and used to camouflage military snipers.
"He probably would not have been very easy to see at all," Schneider told KECI-TV.
Tenley was struck by vehicles driven by two girls, ages 15 and 17, who were unable to stop in time, authorities said.

lets see, he was wearing something that helps you not to be seen while trying to be seen, and he ended up failing to be seen.

On a related note, does anyone think this would be a hilarious way to find an enemy attack?
Someones just driving along and they hit a chinese/korean sniper that was moving into position to cover an attack on a US army base.

Nope. It does not make us bad people. It makes you wonder how much he has consumed though. Also makes you wonder how much you have to consumed to even come up with a stunt like that.

Flathead isn't a terribly different community from Sealy. At Sealy if you drive around the lake there is at least one bar or package store for every church, and there are a lot of churches.

What would make this even more ironic is if someone actually hit and killed a REAL Bigfoot sometime in the next week. Bigfoot prooved real, idiot doesn't live to see it.

So the suit was made to resemble heavy foliage, and neither driver took the time to wonder what a bush was doing crossing the road?

Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Ocassionally I can be bothered to how hunt. I don't like to, but when I do sometimes I wear a ghille. My old one is worn out and I haven't had the time to do a new one. Lately I've been wearing a hunters orange sweater and pants with mostly vertical black lines to mimick deadfall. Just as successful stalks and it mildly reduces the danger of some muzzle loading donkey-cave shooting me.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Plus I don't look like an idiot in a ghille at the gas station.

I always thought Ghille suit was a British thing and you guys called them something different?
I'm sure the American one was something like "ADVANCED TACTICAL CAMOUFLAGE AND CONCEALMENT COMBAT FIGHTING SUIT"
We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.
