Yes, 'tis the season. Today I got out to the valley where I had my experiences over 40 years ago, and found cold rain at the low end and heavy, wet snow at the higher elevations. Several other 4x4s were in the valley, and all I saw was dog and human tracks. I did find a pretty sturdy lean to shelter at the end of a branch road, next to a roaring creek.

I will leave things like toys that resemble a foot and crystals too, basically just anything I think might get their curiosity up, making a point to have a separate spot for food items if I am bringing those out to help rule out animal interference. Typically the pictures are all stacked ontop of each other with the order carefully noted then buried under dirt and leaves. This is easily one of the best ways to get interactions from them and also not to expensive. I will be posting examples of how this has turned out before soon. I definitely would like to see others get on board with this and let me know how it turns out!

This is incredible! I have heard this numerous times, especially that gibbon-like "chirping" before the grumbling. One thing that I notices from what I have heard around the US in person and from audio like this is that there seems to be a common "voice" to all of it. I would call it like a giant angry goblin voice even when they are speaking clearly, if that makes sense. But as far as my answer to the thread goes, I have heard similar talking to the Sierra sounds multiple times, one time it was probably not further than 50 feet from me, there was thick brush separating us but it was still extremely powerful and easy to hear. It was two of them talking back and forth, one a very large male voice and another almost kiddish, clearly much smaller. The voices didn't have as strong of a "oriental twang" to them that I heard though that there was with the ones in the Sierra Sounds. It was very clear non garbled speech and went on for a few minutes. I have heard it in small bursts, including whispers at night, in several places since then but in my experience hearing speech is very rare, I think they only do it when people aren't around that they know of.

'Tis the season!

hello. i fell down the Sasquatch rabbithole a few months back and am looking to learn more about Sasquatches. The Bigfoot subreddit has really gone downhill so I'm hoping this forum will lead to more learning Happy to be aboard!

Just Moose, Deer and snow today!

I haven't really found any 'good' examples in our recordings I love, but here's another example of what we call jibberish. It was recorded back in 2012 as well. The audio comes from a DVR surveillance system I was trying to leave running 24/7 so when our host would tell us he'd heard activity back at the camp area I would be able to get to camp and review the DVR system on my next visit, to confirm or not if his report was accurate. The DVR and cameras were running on 12vdc from a battery bank I have in the camper bathtub and were kept hot all the time with 3 solar panels I have on the roof. The crappy thing about this recording is that I wasn't there so the system was running on the 12vdc power (since no generator was running) yet somehow there's a nasty AC interference in the audio. Some (not all) of the bullet style cameras had those built-in cheap mics in their plastic housings. That is what captured the audio here. This occurred about 2am and was heard live in real time by a couple staying in camp that weekend. Unbeknownst to them, about 20 minutes before this recording from the DVR (they were camped in a tent about 30 - 40 feet to the west of the camper) a Sony recorder that had been placed in a tree 75+ feet north of the main campsite had been approached, sniffed, fawned over, then ripped out of the tree it was hanging in. It wasn't until the morning that when it was found missing, a circular search around the area found it about 20' from where it had been hanging and the audio was reviewed. Based on the audio time-stamps of both recordings, this was 20'ish minutes after, and the BF approached their tent from the south (having circled around?) and gave them this berating. The rest of the night was silent. Hopefully you can hear the jibberish well enough over the odd interference in the audio. may-30-2012-200am-5302012 DVR audio.mp3

Don't be so sure. This is a recording that my brother from another mother Chris Spencer got. IMO this is at the very minimum 'comparable' to what was recorded in the Sierra's. Washington, Southern Cascades. *Use of headphones is suggested* On January 3rd of 2016 I recorded an odd vocal in an area I call T1 that I believe the target subjects winter in. I placed audio out at about 5 p.m., dusk, and this recording occurs at 7:37 p.m. It was snowing like crazy that night and the recorder was in a marshy area with lots of old growth cedar bordering it. My good friend David Hallet cleaned the clip up for me. He's a bit of a sound wizard and was able to remove a lot of the ambient noise to bring the vocal out. Unfortunately, there was an airplane flying over when the vocal occurred. at least

I'm in West Virginia cruising to a fire watch tower at the top of the mountain, its very foggy here. I want to put some audio recorders there next spring.

Thanks for the ride along, PNW. That looks like most of my day trips, similar country, similar wildlife. Even with no exciting animals or road hazards, a day out like this really satisfies the soul of a country boy. May we both have many more !
