I heard something very similar to the "samurai chatter" from both sides of my campsite in northern Idaho in the fall of 2021.  It only lasted a couple of minutes until my English Mastiff male started his ranting and raving act.  Kerry Arnold and I, may he rest in peace, had many discussions about the similarity in what I heard, what he had heard, and the Sierra Sounds.  On the other hand, when I had my face to face daylight sighting in Glennie, Michigan in November of 1993 the only suspected vocalizations I heard in the two days leading up to it were a very guttural OOMPH sound.  It's hard to know.  I am convinced the Sierra Sounds are genuine Bigfoot vocalizations, but I am resistant to the paranormal track that Ron Morehead is espousing nowadays.  I am firmly in the "flesh and blood" camp.  I wish I could remember the man's name, but he was a former US Navy linguist who listened to the Sierra Sounds repeatedly, and asserts based upon his training and experience that there is an underlying language there.  I certainly allow for that possibility, and think that it would be incredible if Bigfoot actually had a language and communication between species would be (however improbable) possible someday. See, this is the problem with being involved with Bigfoot...more questions always pop up.  

Krantz was a curmudgeon, which I think is why I liked him.  What I like about going back through his writing and what is available on Youtube, is that he took risks (to his career) to openly study Bigfoot evidence, and to try to engage others in "mainstream" science in the subject.  SOMETIMES he made me chuckle, like when I saw the picture of his home made "helicopter" in his book.  Still, I give him a lot of credit for giving it a shot.  I mean, Igor Sikorsky strapped himself into a home made helicopter once too.  

Just seeing this now, haven't been around here much, Life has just been busy.   I personally am **** glad Dr. Meldrum does that he does, and I'm thankful for it. Guy knows what he's talking about and he's got skin in the game. I've learned a lot from his lectures and book.    I think he's done a heck of a lot for sasquatch research and general bigfootery.

Well said. Out of all the big names in BF research , I give Meldrum's voice more credibility just as I gave Krantz when he was alive. I think the fact they stick to their guns and are professors with a lot to lose by being so adamant about the subject makes them even more trustworthy.
