Thanks for posting. I won't hijack the thread to banter about DNA. The twist snaps that I have seen were impressive. Young evergreens torn up by an elk. Suitable substrate can show elk hoof prints at the base of the trees. No mystery for me. I have high weirdness in the trampled down vegetation category. I found a trampled area that was circular, more than 20 feet in diameter. The center area was not disturbed. The layout looked like the lower half of a half-torus of revolution. No boot marks, no animal tracks, no deer poop. The area has deer, Sasquatch and black bears. I was not able to come to any conclusions.

I PMed @BigTreeWalker I think that is the best lead to date unless someone on the forum may know him personally and be willing to check up on the situation. I guess the fear is that if he were MIA and nobody cared to investigate and he needed assistance it has been plus six months of non posts here which as the OP suggests just isn't normal for the guy. I believe I heard him speak of having an older daughter maybe out of state.

Very disconcerting. He is a valuable contributor here with respect to many topics and issues. I hope he is just on temporary sabbatical from electronic communications.

Alien crop circle in the wilderness?

The thread is simply for discussing the video, if DNA is pertinent to the conversation there's nothing wrong with bringing it up. I've seen plenty of "wallows" where tall grass has been trampled down, usually in a circle and have always attributed it to deer bedding down for the night, But this in the video is different due to the broken saplings. I appreciated how he showed the difference to antler scraping by Elk or Moose.
