A sciency sounding story? That terminology sounds rather JREFery......

The lake (apparently near base camp) seen in the drone video at about 15 minutes into episode 1 is at 44.436920, -119.815090 I was browsing through the episode looking for the notepad (not even sure it's in this episode) and saw the lake right after they set up base camp. I figured finding a lake with that shape of shoreline with a green field behind it should be fairly easy... it was. Apologies for using a picture of my tv. I have better skills than that but was in a hurry. "U" is the topo location Explorer noted the other day. "A" is the location just noted for the trail map location by 1980squatch "B" is the lake I just found. Methinks maybe those maps are not decoys after all.

Not that I think that it backs up the legitimacy of this video, but a lot people would just film it and then run without trying to provoke what they believed to be an 8 ft tall creature that they encountered alone in the woods.

Indeed. In my favorite hunting spot, it was not real uncommon to have areas of silence move through around me. In other words, things did not necessarily go silent where I was, but there would be 1-3 moving spots a quarter mile away where the birds and squirrels would go quiet, then fill back in behind as if something was moving through. Back in the mid 80s I was home from college for summer and something odd happened. There is a 180 acre field surrounded by forest near our house. A dirt two-track crosses the field and long it is a fence splitting the field into two pastures. (It is USFS, not private, and rented out for grazing.) Sun was going down, about half the field in sun and half in shade from the mountain. I noticed that birds were pretty noisy out some distance from me but it was dead silent where i was. A bit "off." There are a few small grassy "fingers" extending from the flat field up the hill into the timber a short ways. On one of those there was a buck in velvet. He seemed to be staring at me or near me. He spun and took off running up the "finger" toward the edge of the trees. That's when things got weird. The field where I was had not been grazed so the grass was chest to shoulder high. A patch of that grass about 25-30 feet was flattened out. That patch took off on an intercept course toward the fleeing deer. Ahead the grass would flatten out, behind it would spring back up. It was as if a giant invisible beach ball were rolling across the field in pursuit of that deer. Because the deer was running sort of on a diagonal, that patch of flattened grass traveled a curved course, not a straight line. I don't know what that was. I think it was after me given how things seemed to go silent around me and I think it was real close. I often wonder what would have happened to me if the deer had not drawn the attention of whatever it was away from me by running. MIB

Not surprising that it sounds "sciency" as they have a medical doctor and at least one other scientist on the team.

To catch one unawares, you need cover sounds IMHO .. running water, storm, something. And you need to not sound human. I think both of those factored in for Roger and Bob on Oct 20, 1967. The running water of Bluff Creek and riding horseback instead of walking. MIB

It’s a hoax.

I’ll do a better quality screenshot when I get back, but that’s the face. See those big black eyes and that nose and mouth? when you see the face in the photo you can watch it in the video. it does looks real imo.

The latest "Shooting Times" has an article on the latest iterations of the .444 from Marlin. I don't have it in front of me, but one of the high points is a change to a faster spin to stabilize longer/heavier bullets, 1 in 20 I believe. They've also switched from their "Micro-Groove" rifling to button rifling and there are several new component and cartridge choices available that offer greatly improved performance. Arthritis keeps heavy recoil cartridges like that way outside my comfort zone and I don't recall specifics on load data, but they tested one of the new Marlin offerings, pictured below, with at least a dozen load combos and most if not all were under 1.5 MOA with several very close to 1 MOA. I've got to go out to Fort Harrison for our annual shooting club meeting tomorrow morning and need to stop at the museum; if someone hasn't taken the magazine home I'll try to remember to grab it for more details.

True enough Had deer and elk walk through campgrounds in both Yellowstone and Rocky Mountain National Park. Nothing new under the sun there. And yeah, there were campfires going. Animals get used to such things. Plenty of BF reports of then watching people in camps.

What if the slapping of the house or a camper is to get the occupant to come out and investigate. What if they do know how to count and the reason they slap the house or camper is to get everyone out. If they know how to count then they would know how to react in any situation. The same goes with them throwing rocks or even whistling. They may use this as a tool to get us to move a certain way or place where they want us to go. They might even use it to make us move away from a place that they do not want us to go. A distraction. I would say that this is very smart and this could very well be with knocking on trees when they see humans in the area. I have often knocked and heard them knocked close but then have had them knocked farther out in distance. So They may be using these knocks as a way to figure out where we as humans that might be bothering them may be in position from them. Again I am speculating. But this does not mean that they might not want to mess with us every so often. As we know of them now we have no idea of their family structure. They might keep their family in some secure area of wilderness where we might not be able to reach. The males and every so often a occasional female might be spotted that might be doing the hunting and the gathering. Again I am speculating . On the show they have talked about how the forest has gone silent. I cannot tell you how many times that this has happen to me while hunting. It is so unnatural while you sit there out in the forest in the early hours. This is the time when everything should be waking up and start forging for food. Yet, the woods will be so silent that it seems so spooky. It seems spooky because you are alone sitting on your stand waiting for the sun to come up. On top of that you might be sitting in a swamp where it might not really light up with the sun. The other thing about this show that also come's with the silence is the smell that so often creeps up on Russell. I have walked on trails and smelled this awful smell at times. When I go to see from where the smell is coming from the smell goes away. It seems like what ever is giving off this smell is aware of it and tries to hide it's smell. So it seems to understand the wind. and is self aware of the it smells. It understands our expression in our faces. Again I am speculating but with observation. The headaches that the two researchers had have I still do not understand. My experience has always been from hearing a low growl/grunt like sound. My feeling very sick to my stomach and confuse and barely being able to make to the truck and back home. Once at home just being laid out in the couch or in bed for about a week. So I am not sure how Russell received his head ache since I did not hear a low growl or low moan or any low sound. So how did they received these head aches? and why are they not focusing as well? Should this not be important and a part of the bigfoot phenomena. If this is effecting people then this should be studied as a part of why maybe people might be getting lost. Again I am thinking out of the box and speculating.

I finally got this thing uploaded. Gig feel free to tie this in to your BFF channel. After numerous 2 hour attempts and crashes and a YT upgrade its done. About the video. This is one of my favorite spots up Barnaby creek behind Lake Ellen on the way to White mountain. This is just north of the Colville Indian Reservation. There is a swamp in here that produces skunk cabbage in the spring. You guys have seen pictures of this area before. The flight itself was kind of foggy and drizzling. I had waited a bit before launching because it was slowly burning off. I saw plenty of Moose and Deer sign on the way in but I never saw anything FPV in the flight. Enjoy!
