early 1990'S WASHINGTON VA.

My story is not of a sighting but only one of many strange incidents that happened to me while i was younger coon hunting in the river hills where i live here in my area.I want to say i have been hunting and fishing every since i could even hold a gun or rod and reel plus I know what every animal that is in my area looks like and what what sounds they make.My dad and i where very avid hunters coon hunting was our favorite we hunted all season just about every other night so if you where in the woods that much especially at night strange sounds and incidents happened that i could not explain.This is was one incident that happened to me that i remember very vividly .Me and dad decided to go coon hunting with a few of his many friends which ended up being many more than expected 9 of us all together and 6 dogs.We got together and decided to go to a hollow with a big creek running through it which emptied into the NORTH FORK HOLSTON RIVER also there was a four wheeler trail running down along the creek easy walking.As we released the dogs and started down the trail we joked about how many people where in our hunting party at one time and would scare everything away.We had been in the hollow about half way down when we came to a sharp bend in the creek and road which made the creek slow so we stopped and turned off our wheat lights to listen to see if we could hear our dogs maybe strike or tree a coon. We where all standing in a semi circle joking and having a good time when all of a sudden we heard crashing in the trees above us as we looked up to see what the hell it was a big round white rock landed next to one of my dads friend feet everybody was stunned and dumb founded that this just happened.My dads friend the rock landed near always carried a .22 magnum pistol so naturally he pulled the pistol and started up the hill to see who threw the rock at us he was mad he was going to confront them so after dads friend came back down the hill he said no one was there so we all stood there and no one said anything as we passed the large rock around to each other trying to figure out who the hell threw this rock at us.I do remember the rock being large and heavy so no human could throw that rock that high and through the trees at that distance my dad just brushed it off and still does today we always heard wood knocks and strange howls but my dad always had a explanation for what it was. I do think that bigfoot is out there but only a few are living and they mostly keep moving or migrate to avoid humans i have not been hunting in these areas for many years now but i know they are still here or pass through this area
