UNOFFICIAL ENCOUNTER REPORT
Classification: Suspected Beerfoot Activity
Contributor: Anonymous
The following encounter was submitted by an anonymous contributor and reflects a type of report Beerfoot Outfitters has been receiving with increasing frequency in recent months. Encounters of this classification, referred to internally as Type-A, are considered rare. The apparent increase in reports has prompted concern that Beerfoot’s alleged activities may be growing more obtrusive.
Whether this escalation is the result of habituation, overconfidence, or liquid courage cannot be determined at this time. Regardless, our assessment remains unchanged: the threat is real. Stay alert. Guard your beer.
I think we saw him! A couple of friends and I were settling in for some night fishing and socializing on the banks of the New River in southwest Virginia. It was a pleasant night, chilly but not too cold. The small fire we had going felt good.
After we’d been there for a couple of hours, we heard a rustling in the nearby woods. Thinking it was probably a deer, we went back to our fishing and socializing. Then we heard it again, only closer. Emboldened by our numbers and our beverages, we decided to investigate.
After walking a short distance into the woods, we saw a dark shadow about 25 yards away. Thinking it was a bear, we retreated to the safety of our campfire. Was it a bear? No. Much too tall. Time for another beverage while we thought this over. That was when we discovered our ample supply had been reduced to about one six-pack. Was it him?
The presence of a remaining six-pack does not align with patterns observed in prior Beerfoot reports. It is our conclusion that this contributor was treated with unusual restraint. Any additional details would be beneficial in determining how one might find favor with a creature not typically known for benevolence.
