I'm really slipping, it's been over a month since I last got out in the mountains, due to family obligations, bad weather, and the never ending honey-do list. I corrected that today, with a multi purpose sasquatch/deer/bear/grouse hunting trip to the mountains east of Harrison Lake, specifically to the same old clearcut where I tagged a nice fork horn blacktail buck 4 years ago. It was an afternoon run, leaving my Abbotsford home at noon, and reaching the start of the gravel FSR shortly after one. My target trail was blocked at about 1km in by a large group of wood cutters, so I carried on to the next uphill branch, which I found to be busy with ***** shooters, target shooters, and a convoy of side by sides. The next try was 5 km further up the main FSR, and that branch was gated at 1.5 km due to active logging. I then returned to the first trail, and found that the wood cutters had finished, and were gone. From that point on I had the old deactivated road to myself, and I started the long, steep climb to the old open cut blocks higher up the mountainside. With the cross ditching and washouts on the steep grade, low range was used to ease the load on the little 3.5L engine. On the way up I spotted a single grouse, that spooked into the trees before I could stop the truck and pull out the 20 gauge. When I reached the spot where I had dropped the little buck on a previous trip, I parked and got out to walk the old road and glass for game. I glassed the uphill side of the clearing without seeing anything, so I turned and looked downslope. I just raised the binoculars to my eyes, and I was looking straight at a beautiful cinnamon phase black bear! It was working over an old pile of logging debris, looking for grubs or marmots, I guess, and it was no more than 250 yards downhill from me, but what a downhill! The slope was much steeper than 45 deg., too steep to walk down, and waaaay too steep to attempt to pack a 3 or 4 hundred pound bear back up, even in quarters. So I watch it feed for 20 minutes or so, hoping that it would decide to come uphill, but it eventually faded back into the timber below the clearing, and that was the end of my chance for it. I took a couple of pictures of the view from that area, and slowly drove back out to pavement without seeing any other critters. In the second photo, the village of Harrison is just visible at the upper left corner of the lake.

I don't think the trees are the work of BF. I just don't see it. I've been to plenty of places outside AK with BF activity and have never seen upside down trees. If it is BF, then it's isolated to POW Island.

I already knew that.

At fish camp on the Kasilof beach. Before the fishery was over, there was a virtual forest of upside down trees in the beach, some quite large. No equipment used. Just a bunch of fishermen screwing around between tides, wasting good energy better used in other ways.

@Foxhill You just can not say that it is a hoax and leave it at that. You have to say why it is a hoax. I just do not see this as a hoax and am not ready to call it a hoax. For one the toes in this photo on the left are way to long for some one to hoax it. I mean how is some one going to hoax those toes digging into the mud have toes that long. Even if they were wearing those type of shoes there is no way to fake those long toes in those shoes. The other problem that I have with these prints is also in this other photo that shows the creature slipping. In my opinion I do not see that the creature slipped on it's left foot. In my view I see it that it had stopped abruptly in the soil. Then the creature had dug out with it's left foot what looks like a slide to place it's left foot in front of it's right. But is my opinion. here is the photo that i am talking about : You can see in the picture where the slide is that the dirt on the top is not pushed in but is still like being pushed out on the top of the slide. The right foot on te top the toes are really dug in. I really do not think that a hoaxer would have done this with a made foot print. This was done with an actual foot print. This is why I say if you say that these tracks were made by a hoaxer then prove that they were. I am just showing you what i believe is actual proof that this was done by an actual creature. Now I am some big expert in the bigfoot world nor am I saying that I am. But I at least have enough experience to make my own judgement and if i am wrong all well i am wrong> I will learn .

I frequent this lake and I know Tobe well as a researcher. I have absolute confidence in his identification ability. This is a very squatchy area, despite the people. I have found prints here, and been yelled at by a sasquatch close by. I am 99.5% certain these are real and I KNOW there are bigfoots nearby. I will absolutely go on record as saying I think that it's not only possible, but probable. Because I know the London Prints were found there, it's a place I return to again and again, hoping for something just like that! Also, I'm certain of that print. Look at where it bends - on the outside. We've found the same thing.
