follow-up on previous bigfoot inquiry.

[i found him]

hi, im josh, and i have some follow up from my previous post, (previous post copied here):

 

"hi y'all my names josh, i have recently had an encounter with a sasquatch, i was on my commute home from work (i do work for a major oil company in aus), when suddenly i saw a silhouette of a large looking creature, it didnt look like a man. i was confused and exhausted from being out on the rig for the last week, but i made myself stop to check it out. keep in mind, up to this point i have never believed in anything superstitious, i dont believe in ghosts or aliens and i would consider myself a traditional rational man. But as i got out of my truck i looked off into the surrounding trees (off to the side of the highway) and i swear i saw a sasquatch, i cant explain it but it just stared at me with its yellow eyes. i went to snap a pic to show the lads, and it just runs off. i went home and told the misses and she didnt believe me, i tried with all my might to explain it to her and she just called me a whackjob and walked off. im been upset with her since, so i have a few questions for some experts (if their willing to help me out):

 

- what are the possibilities that this creature was a sasquatch?

- what can i say to the misses if she continues to doubt me?

- is it worthwhile going back to the spot where i saw it?

thanks in advance "

 

since this happened i have spiraled a little, i lost my job on the rig, have lost a large amount of money in a bigfoot related scam (be careful on facebook) and the misses is staying with her mother for a while as i "get help", however i now believe that i am on the trail of a real sasquatch, i'll elaborate;

 

i went back to the spot where i first saw the beast the day after my first encounter, while there i found no trace of the beast, however i have been reading up on austalian sasquatches and apparently, they only come out to surface in winter, i was wondering if this is true.

 

also, me and the lads are heading out on sunday to hunt for the beast, was wondering if we actually found it, what the best way to go about it was (eg. stun it, trap it, kill it in the name of science or distract it while we catch a pic), really unsure about all of this and any clarification would be mightily appreciated.

thanks once again,

josh

if your wife doubts you, leave her. it won't get better until you do. tell us more about the bigfoot scam that cost you money. we need details so we can avoid it.

Well, I disagree that leaving one's wife because of a difference of opinion on some topic is a good idea; that type of advice should be sought from an accredited specialist in Australia.  I agree that it would be useful to let others know the general nature of the scam that caught you so that others can benefit from your mistake.  My two cents otherwise:

 

1) Every day there's some rash person who wakes up and thinks that they're going to be the one to solve the Bigfoot/Yowie question in one week where others have failed doing so over decades.  I know; I see that idiot in the mirror every morning.  Pull back from the emotional attachment some.

 

2) The best advice is from Cliff Barackman (whose podcast Bigfoot 'n Beyond includes some episodes focused on the Yowie).  Go in the woods with family and friends and enjoy yourself.  If you don't see a Bigfoot/Yowie, you've still had a good day.  If you do, that's just the cherry on top of the sundae.

I dunno, she didn't stand with him during his darkest days, so she has shown her true colors. If someone abandons you in your time of need, they should be tossed to the curb. Marriage is supposed to be a commitment to your partner in good times and in bad. Especially in bad. 

 

Don't even entertain the idea of killing one. They are closer to human than you think and it would be akin to murder.

I agree with the "Don't even entertain the idea of killing one" at this point in your (Josh's) Bigfooting endeavors.  It sounds like you might be way too fast to pull the trigger on what you think is a Yowie only to find that you've shot a person.

Come back online so we can advise you. Don't be a fool and leave your wife over a glimpse of a furry creature that probably was a Bigfoot since you did see the eyes which were yellow. If you go hunting for a Bigfoot it will leave the area and you'll never see it again because they are probably smarter than humans as we're finding out.

Howdy once again, I’ve had a lot to think about since I last posted, but first an update;

I went to my mother-in-law’s to speak to the misses, I explained to her calmly that I believe in the existence of sasquatch and she doesn’t need to believe in it, but she has to support me in my pursuits. Even though I explained calmly and gave her time to understand it all (as a woman she's slightly slower than us men), she flipped out and started screaming at me to get out. I don’t know what I did wrong, but I’m in the process of booking a consultation with an attorney to draft up some legal jargon.

Sorry for that dump of personal doo-whop, but I thought it best to update y’all on every aspect of my previous post.

On the aspect of the “bigfoot scam”, I’m not really wanting to go into it heavily, but essentially there was a group in Wollongong that was planning a hunt for the beast, and skipping over some personal details, basically they managed to get into my bank and transfer out my funds to another account that I was unable to track. I notified authorities; however, they said that it’s unlikely that the assailants would be caught. Now I’m back to selling off my vinyl collection to keep up with bills.

(on that note if anybody is a fan of weezer or radiohead, reach out, as I’m in the process of selling some older pressings).

The hunt with the lads is still on for Sunday and I’ll let you all know how that goes in a separate post. Thanks for all your replies.

 

 

Also, what equipment would be handy to bring on the hunt (there’s six of us for reference).

Eh, fair, but thank you.

If it were me, I'd avoid ANY rash decisions or any decisions based on pure emotion.  I'd take a step back, breathe, reflect on what you know, what you believe, what you think, and then look at it from all sides.  Get professional help, not life changing advice from the internet that may have life long consequences for a temporary problem.  I'm not telling you what to do, only what I would do.
