Finally got into the woods to pick some huckleberries. 100 degrees at my house in town, 25 miles away, but only 86 degrees in the middle of a huckleberry patch. Found some older bear tracks and it occurred to me that the tendency of bears to put their rear foot right into the rear of their front track produces a lot of tracks that can appear to be a single larger bipedal foot track. This is one I found while looking for berries... Had a great day in the woods and the talcum powder-like dirt was perfect for tracks, but nothing found other than the usual deer, elk, wolf, bear tracks...

Greetings All, Let me start by saying I am so very excited to finally take the plunge and join a forum. I am normally just a online reader as I can be a little on the shy side. I have been fascinated with this mystery since the first time I saw the legend of boggy Creek when I was 8 years old and how I recall that movie terrified me as a child. From that moment on I was hooked. I have been camping and hunting all my life and spend as much time as I possibly can in the outdoors. Since I live in Los Angeles I travel to Santa Barbara and do my camping there in the Los Padres national Forest. Right now it is me and my best friend Dave who is my dog. we go out night hiking together. We also do day hikes and we love a good road trip. If there is anyone in the Southern California area that would like to get together to do research or sit around and share knowledge by all means let me know. I am a voracious reader when it comes to anything Bigfoot and I scour the internet searching for any new information. For this first post regarding this phenomena, I want to say that I feel the expedition Bigfoot television show seems to be the best show so far. IMHO Well that's it for my first post be safe and be well everybody. -Rhys

After 3 sightings of Bigfoot and no attacks or any threats, I started going out by myself. However I have gone to some pretty bad places. One night i was 5 miles from the nearest house on the Red River in Oklahoma was 5 miles away and I hear a lot of voices and dogs barking and all I was concerned about was were they going to try and steal my generator. I was in a home made reserach trailer. I finally got my clothes on and holstered my 45 pistol I went out. It was **** hunters and they apologized if they bothered me. About 10 miles up there is a place called Brown Springs where the bad guys would kill someone and dump their bodies there. There was a book written about all the killings called Red River Prosecutor who had tried and won 16 murder cases. There is also a healthy population of Dogmen. Any time I would go there I kept my 45 holstered. I also have about 90 public hand launch boats where you can drive under the bridge and I have had some undesirables walk into camp, but they were quick to leave when they saw the 45 or my 12 gauge. If I am not in an area that is not bad, I prefer not to take a gun for fear of spooking a Bigfoot that only wants to watch our camping party. Outside of these areas I carry nothing because it has been my experience Bigfoot is only curious about me. I do not go into the woods, but I set up camp usually with 4 people total, and when I first arrive I make a lot of loud noises just so Bigfoot knows I am there. Usually but eventually they will come and see what is making all that noise, and when they figure it is a human I have had them spend the night watching me, but hidden in the bushes. To keep their curosity I keep a projection tv playing on a 60 inch screen all night. Occasionally I will get some rocks thrown at me, but they aim to miss me. If i do get hit by a rock by experience I know it was Dogman that threw it. They aim to hit and they are very accurate. I do not buy the idea that Bigfoot will take people, and I have seen 15 and been close to well over 50 based on Bigfoot sounds, screams, tree knocks, hoots, grunts, and their samari talk, but I have never felt threatened. But I only carry a gun for protection against the 2 legged men that are up to no good. I am 77 and I would be an easy target for robbery. Also I am in South Texas and since Biden took office I have had illegals come walking into camp, but I do not trust them. I am about 120 miles north of the border, and a lot travel alone and walk north to get wherever they have family of some other support. Some are bad people who were released from prision so their home country would not have to pay the prision bills supporting the skum of their society. But most are just trying to find a better life than what their home country could offer them.

Campers, there is a way to do this. The Spiratone Circo-Mirrortach. Spiratone was a company that made gadgets / accessories. Long gone but the company had huge effects on photography in the 20th century. The right angle mirror device is available in the used equipment market. Be careful of the sizing on the attaching end in the way of millimeters to series sizes and the adapters. Rotating the barrel allows viewing 90 degrees to the left or right. I have 2 units. One is stock, one is in ASAT camo. The camo unit is for aiming trail cameras. I never use a laser pointer for aiming cameras. The object in the mirror is not closer than you think. There is another way for inconspicuous photography that worked great in the previous century for street photography. Few forum members would take the plunge. Twin lens reflex camera. I am not sure why they worked so well. Maybe because the camera was not at eye level. The operation would be a full frontal shot. Ducks in a row campers

Sockeye @ Lake Wenatchee White caps today😬

We had some of that action on the Whipsaw run, though the toughest obstacles had bypasses that were a little less puckering. I definitely made good use of my skid plates and bump stops on a few occasions. Two of the guys are 4x4 bloggers, and took loads of video and drone footage that should be edited and posted in a week or 2, and I'll link to those when they're up.

In the 50+ years since the PG film was shit, I've never heard a single person say that the PG subject was a bear. Somehow, the reason for that seems lost to somebody........ <shot> I hate how most of the vowels are positioned so for us fat fingered guys.........

No. Nor do people run around in the woods wearing night vision devices, either. They use flashlights or headlamps.....because people don't shoot at you. Military personnel use night vision devices........because people shoot at them if they use lights.

They are admitting they don’t have a similar photo of a Bear with mange. True. But they are not budging on their position that it’s a Bear. Which is predictable. If it was Patty standing there instead? It would be a man in a suit.

I went out on a group 4x4 run this weekend, to a trail I hadn't driven in about 30 years, called the Whipsaw. It's rated as 1 of the top 10 off road routes in N. America, and it didn't disappoint on that level, though there was no sign of Sasquatch anywhere along the 75 km length. There was lots of dust, mud, ruts, rocks, and mosquitoes to make it a real adventure, though. Most of the route is along a 6'000 ft ridge, in alpine parkland, and the wildflowers were in full bloom. We camped the first night at a small lake in a little spruce hollow, and completed the run the second day. Every truck made it through without breaking anything, though there were minor dents and scratches, and one that kept overheating on the second day. The scenery is spectacular!

I have had three encounters in Oregon. I had one throw a huge rock at my trailer and left a huge dent in it. I have heard the "whoops" so loud that you can feel the vibration of sound. I have smelt the stench. I never went looking for them. All these experiences happened while big game and turkey hunting.

I certainly like this show way more then the Alaskan Killer Bigfoot show.
