Hello everyone, My name is Lee from Latexo, Texas (East Texas). I've been interested in the "wild men" of the world for some time....since a fishing buddy & I had a "close encounter of the wierd and startling kind" many years ago in East Texas. I have a long history of outdoors experiences -(camping, exploring, fishing, hunting, etc.) and have been an amateur naturalist most of my life - studying creatures of the world - from the smallest insects to the largest whales - including mammals, birds, fishes, amphibians, reptiles, and the like. I was the designated "nerd" of my expanded family(including my relatives) - collecting and preserving small- manageable specimens ( kept in my bedroom). I've also studied botany, geology....most anything within the Natural Sciences. I use to visit Bigfoot Forums some years ago but have been absent for various reasons. I still consider this site/forum one of the best, if not THE best,...for studying any of the wild & hairy creatures known as Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, etc. There's so many things we don't know! Looking forward to reading about other folks experiences !
