Totally shocked. Had the honor to eat supper with him in Gardner, Montana one night during a tracking course he presented with Jim Halfpenny. He was such a gracious and humble man. May he rest in peace.

Machine guns have been regulated in this country since 1934. They cannot be sold without prior having obtained permission from the chief law enforcement officer in the county of residence, fingerprints, and extensive background search. Firearms generally available in local gun stores are not fully-automatic machine guns, but rather semiautomatic, firing one round with each separate trigger-pull. I hope that answers your question.

Factually incorrect ? Please explain

Why is the federal government mum on Bigfoot. And that's the answer

****. Rest in Peace, Doctor.

One day the public will have definitive proof of Bigfoot. If this happens Jeff Meldrum will be viewed as a visionary. It will be mentioned how he was ahead of those colleagues who lived in his times. He became respected even among those who were skeptics and essentially modernized the study of Bigfoot. There will be a Meldrum- Patterson wing of the Smithsonian. RIP

Wow. Very sad news

My favorite interview it was so genuine Meldrum. RIP!

I’m glad he got to see one before he passed away. Real or not his life journey was fulfilled!

FILM SCENE | OPINION: Arkansas Bigfoot Conference brings out the believers and skeptics Northwest Arkansas Democrat-GazetteView the full article

Extremely sad. First and foremost obviously for his family. He seemed a very genuine and likeable man. Secondly for the Bigfoot community, who've lost one of the most intelligent, erudite and respected believers. Thirdly, for the man himself, who sadly never got to see the object of his interest confirmed by the mainstream and never got to study Bigfoot as a proven species rather than a cryptid.

Agreed. Though at least there is some significant evidence. As discussed above with Huntster, it's not unreported, but all reports of kidnapping that I'm aware of are 100 yrs old, thereabouts, or older. Your friend's experience - I've heard a few reports of lifting up tents, running hands across tents, even peering in, but I wouldn't necessarily class them the same as kidnapping - more 'curiosity' for want of a better word. If a human lifted part of your tent on a campsite, they probably wouldnt's face legal consequences. If someone lifted you and carried you off, they certainly would. There's a difference there (btw that is in no way meant to downplay your friend's experience, which must have been horrendously frightening). Again, I have no definitve answers, but I'm not aware of any animal (other than humans of course) that have taken other animals captive, either to eat or later copulate with, or in this instance, copulate with a family member. As you say, the idea of an 800lbs unknown primate is far fetched. Adding kidnapping, sex trafficking and cannibalism as further unproven behavioural leaps to that already unproven primate's behaviour based on a century old story or two is too much for me (again, not saying I'm definitely correct or that it's impossible, just explaining my way of looking at things). Absolutely, you didn't say that. Apologies, I never meant to suggest that you did, but looking back at my post, it does read like I was accusing you of that and I should have been more clear. My actual thinking was that, essentially, the pants are the only thing that seemingly cannot be explained by the mundane - specifically the pants as mentioned in the more sensational versions that I have read/heard, which do include stories of bones in the pants, standing upright (in one account whilst still in the boots). I was just wondering what the actual, provable by independent sources, version was, and whether you or someone else might be able to point me in the direction of such sources. I agree that the RCMP seem entirely useless in this case. From opinions I'ev read, this doesn't seem out of character, as far as SAR and wilderness investigations are concerned. Don't know about the Bauman case, but with Schleyer, it seems to me the most likely explanation is a cardiac arrest or something similar, followed by scavangers (not necessarilty bears). I know he was physically imposing but there are many who have shown no outward sign of issues and died suddenly of such issues. Would fabric have been in the scat? I don't know. I've heard many say that it would, but in doing so their arguments rely on comparing it to the case of Timothy Treadwell. But that's based on the contents of the bear's stomach as inspected after it was killed a day, two tops, after it ate Treadwell. Here, it seems Schleyer died a day or two after he was last seen and no remains were found for 2 1/2 weeks. If the remains were to go through the full digestive tract of a bear, rather than extracted from the stomach, would the clothes still be visible? I have no answer. Either way, if he died of natural causes and scavangers got at him, it wouldn't need to be a bear who ate him. It wouldn't need to be scat within a few feet that would show cloth anyway. another bear could have eaten the clothed parts and not passed it until miles away. I agree that if Bigfoot exists, they would have 'detected' it. But my opinion, as expressed elsewhere, is that the Government will not, and can't objectively be expected to, acknowledge it unless and until it has indisputable proof in the form of a body. FLIR, audio recordings, video recordings, seismic sensors, photographs, sightings, castings etc - these exist for the inspection of the general scientific world. It is not considered sufficient to confirm the existence of the species and can be explained away by misidentification, man in a ghillie suit, bear on two legs, pareidolia, hoax etc. Why would the government take a different stance? Especially if it suits the government's best interest to leave things as they are.

What a loss, really enjoyed watching every video I could find where he was the speaker. RIP

Legendary Bigfoot scientist dies aged 67 after heartbreaking health battle Daily StarView the full article

A couple of years ago, our group was putting on a conference in north western Wisconsin. We had Dr. Meldrum lined up as the keynote speaker, and I weaseled my way into picking him up from the Minneapolis airport and was to drive him to the venue. I was so excited because I would have him entirely to myself for several hours. I had so many things I wanted to talk about, but alas, Covid hit and the conference was canceled. I never got the opportunity to delve deep into my favorite topic with him. Fast forward to 2023, I got a call 2 weeks ahead of the Minnesota Bigfoot conference asking me if I could be a presenter, as Dr. Meldrum was scheduled to appear, but had the health episode TD-40 mentioned. I said yes, and made sure everyone at the conference knew how much I admired the man and honored him during my presentation. Sad day, all around.

Yeah, I'm also unsure about that. I've read 30-06, but also thought it was lever action............maybe because of the common saddle mounted rifle scabbards for them. I guess that's another detail scrambled up into uncertainty now. It's remarkable how such details can get so lost over a half century of time.

Somehow I had the impression Gimlin was sporting a lever-action rifle, likely a .30-30Win cartridge. It would surely be more convenient to pack along on horseback.

Oh my how tragic. I recall David Paulides stating that on a bigfoot cruise that Jeff had serious heatlh episode and had to be life flighted away.

Tonight’s guests, Krista and Brandi, had a Bigfoot encounter in September of 2023, near Ava, Missouri, that is their most memorable Sasquatch-related experience. They’ve had other experiences where they think Sasquatch were near, but they didn’t see a Sasquatch on those occasions. When they were on that overnight investigation, near Ava, Missouri, however, Brandi clearly saw a Sasquatch. On tonight’s show, Krista and Brandi will be talking about what happened that night, what happened when they had the other experiences that they think were Sasquatch-related, and they’re going to explain why they don’t fear ghosts but are afraid of Sasquatch. We hope you’ll listen to them do that. Krista and Brandi host a podcast that’s called the “Blondes and Boos Paranormal Podcast.” If you’d like to check it out, which we hope you will, please see the links below… YouTube link… https://www.youtube.com/@blondesandboos Spotify link… https://open.spotify.com/show/4mowzo8gDpAfP3eyPPtNJt Amazon Music… https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/2280adab-2223-4c1f-a838-b3ac7e0c6bdf/blondes-and-boos-paranormal-podcast f you’ve had a Sasquatch sighting and would like to be a guest on the show, please go to BigfootEyewitness.com and let me know.

Wow. This is a most depressing surprise.

RIP, Dr. Meldrum. You'll ever be an icon to the bigfoot enthusiast community.

Dr Meldrum’s wife just announced his unfortunate passing. We were presenters alongside Dr Meldrum at the recent Smoky Mountain Bigfoot Conference and found him to be a very kind and engaging person. The Bigfoot community has lost one of its most valuable proponents.
