I apologize, this will have to be a link to a pic of a track since I kept getting an error message that I couldn't save the pic. https://sites.google.com/site/nativeokbigfootresearch/evidence The pics I posted this for are the first two: the track measuring 11 inches in length and 7 inches wide at the ball of the foot. It was discovered by members of NOBRO, (Native Oklahoma Bigfoot Research Org.) back in March of this year. I think I've mentioned NOBRO before on here. The track is very wide at the ball of the foot compared to the length. However, one problem with this track is where it was found. It was discovered in the Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge, which is a 1,000 acre urban wilderness area at the NW edge of Oklahoma City. It isn't one of these isolated refuges that takes a while to drive to. There area lot of woods, a couple of large, oversized ponds/very small lakes for fishing, kayaking, archery hunting for deer in certain areas, and hiking trails. The North Canadian river flows through the refuge and the track was found at the edge of the river, along the shoreline. There is a road that goes along the river but not right next it. The NOBRO people had been hiking and being a Bigfoot research group, obviously knew along a shoreline was a place to look for tracks. Back in April-2019, they discovered a trackway of 10" tracks on the refuge, although it was not said just where on the refuge it was found. A couple of miles to the east of the refuge is a small airport. A mile or two to the south and SE, are housing subdivisions. It's more open to the north and NW, but there are scattered businesses etc. And 1-2 miles to the west is a turnpike that runs N/S, and it crosses over the north end of the refuge, in a more narrow part. It just seems like a very unlikely location to be connected to Bigfoot. NOBRO wasn't pushing the track as a possible Bigfoot track; they only said it was "intriguing". One interesting comment was below the map they showed as to where the track was located in the refuge. "Location of 11x7 inch footprint on river shoreline. There were other prints out in the water where it crossed the river." If the 11x7 in. print is a human footprint, I would be very curious where they find shoes. At right in the link to the NOBRO page is a pic showing what they called "toe slides".

I wish i would have learned this years ago. The infrared on most night vision will only reach about 50 ft, but you can buy an infrared flashlight that will reach a bigger area. A 3 watt will cost about $15, a 10 watt will cost about $30, and a 20 watt will cost about $50. I have all 3 but my favorite is the 20 watt. They come in a 850 nanometer light and a 940 nanometer light. Get the 850 because it will be clearer. It is suspected Bigfoot can see it. If you get the 940 it will produce a lousy picture, but it is suspected Bigfoot can not see it.

Alone at night? I do as well. Method? I go back to areas that I've heard wood knocks or seen footprints or red eye shine. I also go to areas where several people I know have had a sighting. Off-the-record sightings published no where. There is one area I go where all all of these have occurred. That one area is very creepy, weird, and profoundly strange things have happened there. I will stay overnight when I'm with another person. Everyone I've gone with gets the same creepy feeling. The past four times I've been overnight in that area, a tree has fallen. Too coincidental for me. I've backpacked all my adult life and never heard a tree fall while out in the woods. Count on it in this area. Once out in there my method changes. Sometimes, night ops where I walk along a corridor or pathway I've mapped out earlier. Most of the times, it's staying at or near camp and trying to lure one in. Precautions...I imagine what could go wrong and try to have things to prevent or at least mitigate them should they occur. As BRB mentioned, a PLB, satellite messenger, medical supplies for catastrophic events, a thermal imager (I consider it a warning device), power backup devices, multiple flashlights, a paper map, and a way (or two) to protect oneself. I always tell someone where I am going and when I expect to be back.

I’ve had one encounter. When I was 15, my father took me deer hunting. We never saw any deer, so after some time he started to pack up. As he was doing that, I heard a crow cawing loudly and making a racket. I looked up, and I saw a white human shaped creature walking deeper into the forest towards my left. I have a hesitation about calling it an encounter because I never saw facial features or other details since it was far away from me.

Thanks for the advice. I will try to get out into the field one day.

Good test. We lose track of animal vision, human vision and machine vision. The Atsko company has good info on deer vision. I considered the factory camera case colors worthless. They were / are good for marketing. I have ASAT camo fabric in solid cotton-ramie ( no longer available ) and 3-D leafy cut that I attach to cameras. The 3-D leafy cut reacts to wind. Another brand, CamBush camo is easy to use. Animals have keen senses for vision, hearing and smell on their home turf. Placing plastic boxes on trees has always been problematic. We just don't know what animals see in our equipment and keep guessing. The little bear is curious but never messed with the camera. The camo cover is 3-D leafy cut. The image is in part daylight, part IR ( 850nm IR with the IR filter in position. ) as indicated by the little lightning bolt in the upper right side info bar. I assume that the animals see the ASAT material as blobs of grey scales.

I was told this by a researcher here in VA. They were in contact with an individual who kept getting visits from BF. One night he sat outside with an IR illuminator and NV device waiting for it to come by. As expected it did make a visit that evening. The gentlemen was watching it through his NV device. He switched on the illuminator and instantly the BF stopped and looked directly at him. Then took off away from the house. Now this could have been the IR light, it could have been noise, it could have been movement, or it could have been something else. However, the witness was fairly sure it was the light itself that caused the BF to run away. Anything scientific to this? No, just an anecdotal story that may or may not indicate that BF can see in the IR spectrum. Until we have one in hand, we will probably never know.

I have had many encounters in Oregon mainly because there were some that lived in my back yard from the time I was 12 to the time I went into the Air Force at 17. Also there were some in my big game hunting areas. Where I turkey hunt, now, I have always expected to see a sasquatch there. I don't know why, but I just have feeling that they are there, even though I have seen no evidence of them.

We do it all the time. We generally spend the day scouting around and looking for fresh sign or anything out of the ordinary. At night we try to check out the areas that we found interesting during the day. We vary our approach…spending part of the time stationary with the rest of the time moving around. We vary our methods of illumination. We will switch between white and red lights, while sometimes just using night vision to move. Other people may have a different experience , but we seem to get out best results when we are on the move at night. As far as precautions go… that’s a long list. Redundant GPS units, backup paper maps, PLBs, first aid kit, backup batteries, firearms, always letting someone know where you will be… Everything from a chainsaw and tow straps to remove downed trees that may block you in to having the ability to filter water, extra food, and the ability to handle flat tires or jump dead batteries.

I have not watched the video, but I have my own opinion. I do not mess around in their territory except to use a proven method of set up camp, make some loud noises, and they will come to investigate. To date I have seen 15 since 2007. 9 of them came within 100 ft and 6 of them stayed hiding in the bushes watching us for most of the night, but my closest experience was about 18 inches. I had a trailer turned into a blind. I was in an area where there were maybe 5 white Bigfoot, and while i was in the trailer I heard what I believe to be a Bigfoot walking thru the grass and walked up to the trailer. I had a TV mounted so it was only seen from the outside, but there was about a 1/4 inch crack. Here I was for about 30 seconds about 18 inches from a bigfoot. I could hear the breathing and it was moving a massive amount of air and sounded like a horse that had just been running. All there was between me and it was a 3/8 inch piece of plywood. Had it wanted me 3/8 inch of wood would be no problem to bust thru. I guess I was not interesting to watch so in about 30 seconds I heard it walk away, and so far as I know it never stopped by to visit me again. I was on Indian land and every year until about March this same family would come and spend the winter in that area. I was 1/2 mile from Ft. Sill Oklahoma, and 7 miles from the Wichita Wildlife Refuge which has about 55,000 acres of land. Never one time did i feel fear, nor was I threated in any way except for the usual rocks thrown. When I camp I sleep in the open hoping to wake up and here is this Bigfoot standing over me watching me sleep. I play a snoring sound most of them time so they will think I am asleep.

The first thing I look for in determining af a video is a hoax is arm length. I had to play it back 7 times before I could stop the video and study arm length. It flunked the hoax video test because the arm length is that of a human. The next thing is a clear video. Nowdays all cameras are digital, and when the hair rubbing back and forth while they move will generate static electricity, and that static electricty will scramble the pixels in a digital camera and will not make a clear video. I am sure a lot of you will think I am full of crap, but go rub a baloon in your hair and stick it to the wall. The ballon will stay stuck on the wall for several hours. Some will still think I am full of crap, and if you do, go on amazon and buy a EMF meter. You can get a cheap one for less than $10. The next time you spot a bigfoot hiding behind a tree, take the meter and touch the tree, and it will peg the meter. If you can find a fresh stick structure, tick the meter on the stick structure, and it also will peg the meter. I will admit the first time I saw the video several years back, i thought it was the real deal.

Right on, Beans. I ordered off Amazon and will be reading it soon.

Interesting footage but obviously not definitive evidence. It's not a bear, and could of course be a hoax. However, I've never seen this footage proven fake. I'm also not aware of anyone admitting they were involved in creating this video to perpetrate a hoax. I know I'm mostly preaching to the choir here but... we need to draw conclusions based on factual information, rather than letting our personal bias interfere when examining evidence. Assuming something is fake (or real) purely based on our personal opinions of this topic only results in further denigrating the field of cryptozoology.

I have 'puck' sized battery powered LED lights with remote control. I set them up with attachment points via hook and loop tape. Hit the remote and freak out a dark adapted animal and create small area lighting for observation or leaving the tent during darkness.

Great story. The distance, and the fact that it didn't seem scary to you, mirrors my own sighting in about '78, here in BC.
