All Activity

I did a day long Jeep trip over the Freezeout pass in Idaho last week. Dang close to grizzly country on the Montana border. I took a picture of the two guns I brought with me... A Marlin 1894 carbine and a S&W Model 686. Both in .357 Magnum. I did not feel under-gunned at all. I have spent nearly 50 years in the Idaho wilderness camping, fishing, hunting, shooting, exploring, hiking, ATV riding, off-roading, and just plain relaxing and enjoying nature. All of those activities were done while being armed. In all those years, I was threatened with violence, or felt threatened maybe 4-5 times. Twice was by animals/Bigfoot and the others by people. The worst was a few years ago when me and my dog Rowdy camped at a remote spot on Bonami Creek in a pop-up camper, and a pack of wolves came in and surrounded our camp at night. I was blissfully unaware of the threat having downed a couple or a few 7&7s while listening to satellite radio by the fire. Rowdy was a 105lb Lab/Great Dane mix who was afraid of fire and nothing else. He normally stayed away from it and would lay down behind me as I sat near the fire and drank. But that night, he decided to lay very close to the fire and my rifle... The next day, I awoke with the worst hangover I have ever experienced. I thought I had been shot in the head with a .22. I poured out the remaining Seagrams 7. After I drank a bottle of water and downed a few aspirin, I stumbled outside to the camp and observed Rowdy diligently walking the perimeter of camp, sniffing and marking his territory. I got dressed, grabbed my rifle, and headed up the crude trail behind our campsite. Rowdy was busy peeing on everything and sniffing furiously... I followed him about 25yds from camp and suddenly realized why he had acted so strangely the night before by staying close to the fire, and why he was so obsessed the next day with marking his territory. I found a piece of wolf scat that was very fresh and left while the wolf was in motion and moving away from our camp. It had to have been left within the past 8 hours. I began doing a search of the area around our camp and found sign that a pack of wolves had come in the night before and walked around the perimeter of our camp. No wonder Rowdy was acting so strange the night before! The rifle I had was a Marlin 1894 in .45 Colt, with a Surefire weapon light attached, 6 extra rounds in the butt stock pouch, a green dot optic, and smoothed action. Pretty much the perfect weapon to be holding when a pack of wolves comes in.

What happens when a weekend camper decides to visit Salt Fork’s legendary Bigfoot Ridge during the Ohio Bigfoot Conference — and ends up facing the unknown just feet from his tent? In this terrifying and unforgettable episode, we speak with “E,” a Bigfoot believer turned knower, who recounts a chilling class B encounter during an overnight stay at Salt Fork State Park. From raccoons stealing Chipotle to bloodcurdling grunts in the dead of night, what started as a peaceful evening ended in primal fear. You’ll hear how a glowing red tent, a Mr. Heater, and an unlucky woodland creature triggered one of the most intense Bigfoot vocalizations ever heard — and how BFRO investigators camping nearby confirmed they heard it too. E also shares encounters from Coshocton County, details on massive prints in frozen ground, and explains why Ohio might just be America’s Bigfoot hotspot. This isn’t just a campfire story. It’s what happens when the forest fights back. 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?

Ostman The idea of a 800 lbs bipedal primate roaming North America is far fetched. It’s inline with many reports of Sasquatch. I have a researcher buddy that claims something lifted half his tent up late one night with him in it. Why not eat him? Maybe that was the plan? Do you walk in from a grocery store at your house and eat all the groceries in one sitting? No. Huntster is spot on. Ostman believed he was kidnapped as a prospective mate for the “daughter”. Schleyer I never said the clothes were untouched. I said the pants were inside out. His hunting mask was also found with blood on it. Zero fabric was found in any predator scat. No signs of a struggle. He was found by friends and family searchers as well. The RCMP was not helpful. It sounds almost like the Bauman story. Except instead of a bite to the neck? Something snuck up behind Bart and hit him over the head and undressed him and possibly ate part of him. A bear would have ate the mask and the pants. The fabric would have been in the scat. Government They are not looking for Sasquatch. They are watching our borders. They are watching our shores. They are watching our criminals. They are studying our wildlife. They are studying our volcanoes. They are watching our traffic. They are watching our passes. They are watching our ports. And we are not even talking about secret squirrel stuff. Satellites, drones, aircraft, boats, flir cameras, audio recorders, seismic sensors, etc. There is a zero percent chance that they have not detected a 800 lbs primate living under their noses. Once you come to this single lone but obvious conclusion? You realize that you have been lied to! So do not expect the truth from the government. If truth is to be had? Then we have to do it ourselves.🤷🏻‍♂️

I believe people will demand that, and that likelihood is what government doesn't want to manage. I don't believe that. I believe sasquatches are another human species (like Denisovans or Neanderthals) and who are on the verge of extinction. The reason why I believe that is because we have already accepted multiple human species on Earth as recently as 12K-24K years ago, and this theory best fits Occams Rasor (most simple explanation). I also believe that mating between Homo sapiens and sasquatches produce hybrids that can't breed (like Ketchum said) because that fits the lack of sasquatch DNA traces in the aboriginal American genetic record. races

This has happened exactly once that we know of: Zana of Abkhazia. The village she was taken and kept by believed she was an Almas, and it is very understandable why they believed that. She matched the description perfectly. Two genetic studies confirmed that she was homo sapien, and so was definitively a feral human. The second peer reviewed genetic study (Margaryan) actually included a statement regarding the morality of what happened to her and referenced her human rights. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9744565/

Search Alabama newspapers for stories about wild men, find stories about wild man in every state BUT Alabama. Published in The Huntsville (AL) Times on November 18, 1910.

I don't have any answers. It's certainly interesting to consider though. It's another thing that we can only confirm with species verification, in turn leading to verifiable DNA (from an actual body, whether living or dead, rather than hair or EDNA that nobody saw being left at the scene). In turn this would confirm the level of proximity to homo sapiens, at which point discussions regarding 'human' rights vs animal conservation, cannibalism, possible interbreeding etc can potentially be settled.

It's interesting and suspicious that most kidnapping reports are a century or more of age. I did read one from an anthropologist who studied the Koyukon natives in Alaska and who interviewed a Koyukon man who claimed that a female "woodsman" followed him around for days before finally rushing him. He claimed to kill it with his knife. He believed that it brought him bad luck in life later, and that she wanted to "make love to him". I have to wonder how the sudden technological explosion has impressed sasquatches. Native Americans no longer shoot bows and arrows. For the past 150 years (not long, really) they shoot pretty powerful rifles like the European invaders. That might have changed some sasquatch habits............. I understand. I don't much think about the weeds at this point unless it's brought up. But sometimes, after discussions like this, I tend to accept some basic common sense likelihoods. Good point. I wasn't clear. If a Sasquatch eats a homo sapien, is it a cannibal? I really can't say except to ask another question: If a Neanderthal ate a Cro Magnan, was it cannibalistic? I ask that because I believe that sasquatches are a human species.

Fair enough. I was thinking more about recent reports rather than historical, nearing 100 yrs old, but I should have been more clear - there may be more recent ones that I haven't come across. I agree to a degree. If they exist, there's a chance they could be cannibal sometimes. But assuming that they exist, assuming that they are cannibals and assuming that they are responsible for disappearances that can be explained by mundane, proven existence, is too much for me. I guess I need to see something in these stories that cannot be explained by natural occurrences before considering the unproven. Another point that occurs to me that isn't necessarily relevant to this discussion is - 'what would you consider 'cannibal' for a sasquatch? Chimps eating chimps - cannibal. Humans eating humans - cannibal. Sasquatch theoretically eating humans? Not so clear, given that a cannibal is an animal that consumes the flesh of it's own species.

Howdy all.....some new pics, some interesting impressions, especially the 4th one, and maybe belongs on another forum lol, Dogman, anyone find these? The next 2, I've showed the Cattails in this area over the years, good hairyman snacks, first pic shows after day one of the July floods & then a few days later after a massive flood wave tore through and totally removed the Cattails, amazing power! The last 3 pics, I have showed this small spring fed pool many times, and a good place to find prints, especially during the summer as it stays full, however I have noticed since last Spring there's always a strong musky odor when I go down there, a strange stick structure forming an 'A' as you go down there, and a trail leading away to a thicket area.....and no I ain't going down there, heard a weird growl a few times so no thanks.

Yes, it does. No, that isn't accurate at all. Sasquatches stealing women and children is an old story among the aboriginal people. The story of Muchalat Harry, an indigenous man of the same era as Ostman, also exists. I'm not going to deny that sasquatches are cannibals or not, because I don't know, but chimps and Homo sapiens are (and Neanderthals accused of) ............sometimes. Therefore, I would speculate that if sasquatches exist, they might be cannibals............sometimes. But the kidnappings might happen for other reasons. Ostman himself (I believe) opined that he may have been brought as a suitor for the young female.

Ostman - seems a very far fetched story and not really in line with many if any reports of sasquatch (if they were cannibals, why not eat him but rather sort of befriend him and share his snuff?) Schleyer - I hate to go there again, but is there any evidence for the 'pants standing up, bones in them, but the clothes untouched' narrative other than the thoroughly unreliable Paulides? Genuine question, not trying to be awkward, I've done a bit of research and found only reports (from before the M411 books came out) providing details that make no mention that such bones were found and that specifically state that the pants were ripped and torn. I'm genuinely looking for cases where there's something to them without Paulides' embellishments but they seem very thin on the ground. For instance, the Schleyer case seems to be a case of natural death followed by scavengers, unusual sure, but it happens. It surely depends on how much of the military and agencies' time and how much of the government's trillions are directed towards the pursuit of confirming the existence of Bigfoot. If they directed all their resources towards finding bigfoot, we'd no doubt have a definitive answer in short order, one way or another. However, it probably suits them to leave things as they are, in which case, they wouldn't direct resources that way. I'm not sure if the government would involve themselves in trying to establish the existence of any animal anyway, other than potentially providing research grants (which seem, on the state and federal level, available more for study of already established animals rather than establishing the existence of new species). As I've mentioned before, I don't think anyone could consider the government to 'know' conclusively of bigfoot's existence without a body anyway, in much the same way as science wouldn't consider the species proven without one. pictures, thermals, footprints, anecdotal evidence from individual government employees etc could easily be dismissed as insufficiently conclusive in the same way as they currently are by science generally. I'm not saying that I'm concrete in any of the above opinions, I'm very willing to be proven wrong, how else do we learn and progress. But the above is where I've landed based on my current knowledge and consideration.

The wild man is always an "escaped lunatic." Escaped lunatics are the swamp gas of Bigfoot research. Article published in the Syracuse (NY) Post-Standard on November 18, 1909.

I did hear that story! 🤣

Did you catch my post somewhere on the forum about the drone flying above my driveway? It was the electric coop flying a lidar drone, collecting pics on vegetation in the right-of-way and easements. I'm really glad I didn't shoot it down (the impulse to do so was strong.........I guess I'm addicted to wing shooting doves too much ). I followed it to the operator and talked to him. It was a very expensive looking drone, and bigger than my impression of it while it was flying.

👍That LiDAR tech is crazy!

Yes. I'm pretty sure they've only just scratched the surface with civilizational archaeology though most of the planet. In the Amazon, they're just beginning to find stuff.

Have you heard about the Lidar studies in the Amazon?
