I came across a beaver dam in a very small pond created by these engineering wonders. There is a creek which flows into it and one that flows out of it. I put a trailcam on both ends and should capture anything that enters the creek area. We'll see.

My sincere condolences to Mr. Miller's friends and family. We shared many fine discussions in the PGF sub-forum over the years. Mr. Miller and I agreed on almost nothing but he was always a formidable debater and earned my respect regardless of our differences. In a word he was always tenacious in his beliefs. He will certainly be missed. RIP Mr. Miller...

While I'm not so sure just how close I'd want to get to one or more, as a life long musician, born to make noise, i d love to interact with them sonically, through progressive mimicry, with increasingly complex sequences of sounds. I'm not sure about a percussive side, as I don't know to what degree meaning is transmitted through their various patterns of wood knocks, and like call blasting, "if you dont know what you're saying....don't yell it!". But I've always dreamed of an " odd noises in chains" sorta interaction. As was said earlier, running into a big male in relatively close quarters would freak me the F@#k out. I had a scary incident as zookeeper with a very quiet and very sneaky big ass polar bear, where I turned around with my face about 1' from its white bear belly, with a chain link fence inbetween, but at that proximity, my brain wasn't seeing the fence, my primal self saw fur. I looked STRAIGHT up to see the front half of the bear with its paws in a "hands up" position on the top of the fence, as it looked down at me with a "if it weren't for this fence, little monkey..." ( Ok, in hindsight it might have just been "Gotcha! You should see yer face, pinky!" )I just about fell over dead right there! but if it were a graduated approach that didn't seem rife with hostility, I could see getting fairly close to a smaller to mid sized sasquatch, if my legs still worked......and they made neat noises!

I had seen a message about his passing on Facebook. He has all the answers now. Rest in Peace, Bill...

Cool track find! We were up there a few weeks ago, the park was packed so stealth camped at the end of the road in the refuge, don't tell anyone. Over here following day, which was packed also, at least 100 cars all down the road, last time there, had it to ourselves: Only sign of our quarry:

Some more pics of the camper.

Read Devolution by Max Brooks to get an idea of what might happen if they were driven out of their usual range by natural disaster.

Not gonna lie, pretty sure I'd run away screaming like a little girl.

Are members of the Forums aware Bill Miller of British Columbia has passed away after a lengthy illness? He ran Sasquatch Country Adventures. I believe I heard of him and saw his picture on this site.
