I have a few choices for my woods guns...

Or they could have handled it just like they did and not antagonized LEOs and then went on their way after a civilized conversation and understanding.

Thanks. I need one. Like the look above too, rather than the standard wood.

We use Perfect Cast casting material. We have it premeasured in two ziplock bags, one larger for multiple castings at once and one smaller for a single print sized casting. I carry a Katadyn Pocket Filter for purification, since especially during the summer we run our water bladders dry. My partner carries a Lifestraw as an emergency backup.

Research into arranged BF fights is psuedo-science at its best, right @Moonface?

Mrs. Huntster can and would attest that I can project my farts at her. She clams that I do it nightly.

Stay safe re: grizzlies. They really freak me out.

Of course, it's Alaska.

I have run across a few reports over the year of bigfoots fighting each other. Here is what is probably the best report to date: https://bigfootforest.com/deer-hunter-witnesses-two-huge-bigfoot-like-creatures-fighting/

There was a report from a hunter who allegedly witnessed two large BF's wrestling and roaring while rolling down a mountainside and onto a road. He was hiding behind some rocks and said the fighters stopped fighting and turned to look at him and then walked away. I can't remember if I read it on the BFRO's or NAWAC's site.

I don't think there are enough unrelated bigfoot left anywhere for them to fight much. It's not like 7 billion people on the planet constantly competing for resources.

Welcome , Orbs !

Hi everyone, New to the forum, but not new to the subject of Bigfoot. I reside in the UK, so the chances of me spotting a squatch seem remote to say the least. Looking forward to getting stuck into some of the threads and seeing what current research is occurring.

@wiiawiwb, Survived yet another close call!! Bet the gaiters are on next time and you never see another. That "print" looks as if a sas was running on its toes. Does seem to have potential. Love hearing the loons at night, nothing like it. I had 2 run-ins with rattlers in 4 days while in the AZ strip. I saw the first before stepping down off of a rock onto it, the second I didn't see but the warning sent me flying, don't think I've ever jumped so far. Did a bit of research on gaiters after that. The latter encountered in the appropriately named Snake Gulch and pictured below, a Grand Canyon rattler I believe: Screen Shot 2020-07-17 at 7.56.59 PM by LIght Pirate, on Flickr

I got back yesterday from a quick sasquatching adventure. Went in at 6am Friday, poked around by day looking for tracks, then did night ops and left Saturday morning. For the second time in three weeks, I came across a Timber rattler...up close and personal. For decades, I've hiked and backpacked in an area known to have them but never once saw them nor knew anyone that did. Why, suddenly, the recent encounters? This incident was about 2 1/2 miles from the one three weeks ago. I went with a fellow sasquatching buddy and we decided to approach this general area from a different location. To get there, we had to ascend over 1,100' with full packs so I cut weight wherever I could. I wrestled with my decision, but the snake gaiters got left in the car. It allowed me to save a whopping 22 ounces! We set up camp then hiked to an area a mile away and poked around looking for fresh tracks. We saw one that was really deep but only about the length of a quart-sized Gatorade bottle. Our footprints barely sunk 1/4" whereas this was 2" deep. I couldn't pull away litter without unearthing soil. Maybe it was nothing. As we returned, the Timber Rattler was on the trail and nearly impossible to see until I was almost on it. I was closest with my buddy behind. It rattled and I stopped, then I kept my eyes fixed on its head, as it was clearly upset. I was near the business end. I "guessed" it was ~5' while my friend said longer. In either case it was big, camouflaged, and in no mood for visitors. It crawled into the brush and I tried to get a picture before it disappeared but wasn't too successful. I was only interested in knowing where its head was. Taking my eye off it to view settings was not going to happen. Clearly, this rattler, and the other one a few weeks ago, just wanted to be left alone and chose to exit when it could. That doesn't change the fact that I couldn't initially see either and got way too close for comfort with both. If I was motoring along on the trail, as I would if I wanted to get back to camp, I might have stepped on it. Three weeks ago, I said I would always wear the SP gaiters when in this area. This time, I rationalized that saving a small amount of weight was more important as lightning rarely strikes twice. Shame on me as I was in further this time and, if bitten, the hike back to the car would have taken close to three hours with no cell service anywhere around. That said, all-in-all it was a fun time filled with adventure and a loon happily provided melodic entertainment all night. The view of the area around this secluded pond was gorgeous.

Beautiful area and great ideas about the thermal. Does your thermal begin to overheat when it has been recording for a period of time? I've noticed that when I have my Pulsar on "pause", and ready to record at a moment's notice, it tends to heat up. I wonder if there is a way to connect a IR detector that would trigger the thermal to record.

This thread is for new member introductions, please chat elsewhere. Thanks

At its very best. While we're on the subject of fighting... There's obviously a lot of tension in the BF world. Do researchers/enthusiasts ever meet up for fisticuffs due to disagreements relating to Bigfootery?
