"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.
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."

It's only true if it's on this forum where opinions are facts and facts are opinions
Words of wisdom from Big Chief: Flush twice, it's a long way to the Mess Hall
I'd rather have my sister work in a whorehouse than own another Taurus!

Thing is, when you think about it, Bigfoot doesn't even WEAR a ghillie suit! So the guy was wrong even while trying to be stupid.
Maybe Bigfoot DOES wear a ghillie suit, that's why we can't find him.
Nah, Bigfoot got turned on to using Shick products and now lives in Venice Beach Ca. Sure he's a little different but who is going to notice there?
Not necessarily Sam, in lots of rural areas, you will find farm and ranch kids of that age legally driving pickups, grain trucks, etc etc. and from my time around Kalispell, it's pretty damned rural...
It's not just rural or farm/ranch kids here. As young as 14 you can get a "learner's permit". You have to have a good reason, but it's not like buying a gun in Illinois. They're pretty lenient.
I know what I'm doing, it just doesn't look like it.
15 1/2 to get permit here in Ohio..... Must have a licensed driver with you at all times though...
