Ovando, MT, October, 2021
Per a tip acquired through my colleagues in Montana, I went to investigate an incident near Ovando reported by a wine delivery driver who works for United Beverage out of Missoula.
Robert Pinckney, 37 was almost finished with his route on the evening of October 3rd when he started feeling ill. Per the okay of his manager and clients, he drove to his home in Ovando, Montana, 50 miles outside Missoula with three deliveries left on his truck. He arranged to get some sleep, get up early in the morning and finish his route then report to dispatch to begin his next day.
He arrived home, laid down and within 25 minutes, his wife reported to him that she heard a bang and rustling outside of their carport near his delivery truck. Mr. Pinckney was moving slow, with a slight fever and was able to go investigate per more of his wife’s concerned reports after 40 more minutes. Upon investigating, Pinckney found the door to his delivery truck broken into and several empty wine bottles in the forest nearby.
The left image represents 17 empty champagne bottles. Ovando is a rural area, surrounded by several thousand acres of forest land. It is possible that locals were able to break into the truck and empty all the bottles and run away undetected in ONE HOUR. But this is not probable. Note the right image and the prints on this 700ml bottle. There is a clear FINGER print just below the neck that appears to wrap all the away around the 6 inch circumference of this large bottle.
There are many reports by credible sources that Sasquatch is a voracious drinker and eater. Reports of his/her eating are that of a beast laser focused on nourishment, like a shark or bear. The purpose for Sasquatch is to ingest as fast as possible with no regard for table manners or anyone’s repugnance at slurping or loud chewing.
It has also been reported that Sasquatch is fond of fermented and distilled spirits. I myself have found flasks and coolers empty upon returning to my camps. These findings are usually coupled with noting that items like trail mix, Kinder buenos and Cheez-its are left unmolested.
It is my professional opinion that it is of high probability that this incident was perpetrated by a Northwestern G. Blacki, otherwise known as Bigfoot to the lay person.
I will remain in the area for the next two weeks with my recording equipment.
