The claimed shooting did not occur for at least three reasons: 1- Justin has told me of certain circumstances at the time of the alleged shooting that make clear to me it did not occur. I would spell this out but I don't want his story to morph. 2- Justin has on several occasions made statements about the primary event and the aftermath that display "distancing behavior". Some people do this consciously (and sometimes unconsciously) so as to separate themselves from alleged facts. Such behavior tends to indicate a concern about the veracity of the facts as related. 3- The encounter with the authorities at his front door did not happen as he states. I say this for several reasons. One of the reasons I will point out is the alleged conversation that Justin relates makes no sense under the laws of California (or under the US federal code). The totality of these reasons indicates to me the event did not likely occur. Those who might fret about the death of a baby sasquatch, fear not.

Just returned from the area with an observation of the goat lake area. The area is now completely devoid of snow. Wolverine are adapted to the snow so this is a condition that doesn't facilitate their habitat. And a lesson I learned the hard way: During my third evening I was treated with a delightful movement of 36 mountain goats across a cliff face in single file above the lake.......it looked scary to me but they all made it seem very routine, both the very young and the old......so I went for my camera and, Allah Akbar, I had the black screen of death. New Canon camera and nothing but a black screen. If I'd had a film camera I could have worked around the problem but a digital camera, not so. So lesson learned.
