Although this is the story of a bigfoot encounter, the description of the creature's chest anatomy is intriguing.
The description of a solid plate of 3/4" thick bone, rather than pairs of ribs, covering the vital organs is unique as far as I know.
Having seen hundreds of animals skinned and gutted during his lifetime, all with rib cages, it seems a strange detail to invent from whole cloth.
He could just as easily have said both of his son's shots had struck ribs. In fact, since Boone died in 1820 and the story dates to before that,
claiming the shots were stopped by ribs would make it seem a bit less far-fetched in my opinion.
The only correlation to dogman is that the story reminded me of the accounts of them being shot without noticeable effect.
Still, that seems enough to make it worth sharing here. I hope you like it, and by all means share your thoughts.
