Guest Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Has anyone heard of or dealt with a Sasquatch interacting with a farm dog by mimicking the dog's vocals? Any theories on why a Sasquatch would do this?
Guest Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 There have been numerous accounts of mimicry discussed here. There are audio recordings of such activity available on the net. As far as why they do it,...my guess would be.... 1st,...because they can, (not a wise crack). Seems to me that being able to mimic other sounds would probably be helpful in disguising one's presence or mis-directing attention.....for whatever reason one would have......and,...who knows,....perhaps it amuses them to do so.
Guest Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 They might do it to expand their vocabulary, so to speak. They do imitate coyotes, for various reasons including hunting coyotes.
Rockape Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Stan Courtney has some barking vocals posted here. http://www.stancourtney.com/Bigfoot_Sounds.html
Doc Holliday Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 seems like an easy way to score a quick meal..... lure scoobie out with a bark / howl then "crunch" = scoobie snacks for BF 1
Guest Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Sometimes I've heard they imitate the dogs owner for 'that'.
Guest Stan Norton Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Given the lack of evidence this should be treated as just a ruff idea for now....
southernyahoo Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 I've contemplated the behavior for some time, and one reason could be that they grow up around canines, and they just might use it to communicate with or manipulate other canines. This clip has some sort of barks that precedes a vocal. Should be sort of self explanatory why it's interesting to me. GE yote-yahoo.wav

Guest JiggyPotamus Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 I think the possible reasons for such behavior have been mentioned already and I would agree with some of those. However I think it is important to realize that even when basing hypotheses off of eyewitness reports we must remember that hearing barking sounds similar to a dog that just sound "odd" is not the same as physically witnessing a bigfoot barking like a dog. I am all for extrapolating whatever possible from eyewitness testimony regarding sasquatch, but it is more difficult when one is not certain it is a sasquatch to begin with.
Guest Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Southernyahoo: Thanks for posting the vocal, it was very interesting.
southernyahoo Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Your welcome, ......There is a thing out there that makes that sound "yahoo" and it doesn't always sound like a dog or coyote and more like a child, man or large beast.......sometimes. The canine sounds are often mixed in or not far off.
Guest Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Here's a scenario to contemplate: I'll use our old farm dog which is a Great Pyrenees as an example. She as a long drawn out bark and it's deep. You have 2 unidentified subjects interacting and making vocals. Subject A and Subject B. For purposes of location, the dog's position is the center, like a clock. Subject A is at the 12:00 position approx. 200 to 300 yards out. Subject B is at the 2:00 position at the same distance. Both subjects would take turns with their vocals, but they would use the dog's vocals to help mask their vocals. Their vocals were 80% similar to the Great Pyrenees, but deeper and more primate in sound quality. Were Subject A and B communicating with each other and using the dog's vocal to help mask themselves, or were they trying to confuse the dog? Other notes: Every once in a while Subject A and Subject B's timings were off from the dog's and you could here them plain as day. When both subjects stayed out at about 200 yards to 300 yards, the dog was right up at the fence when barking. When Subject A and B moved in to the 100 to 150 yards mark, the dog moved back to the shadowy area beside the house near the door. Also at the 100 to 150 yard mark Subject A used a rather loud drawn out non-native bird call to our area. Subject B at one point responded to a call we made with a return whistle. But the question still stands, were Subject A and B communicating with each other and using the dog's vocal to mask themselves, trying to confuse the dog or for some reason trying to interact with the dog? I thank you for your time. <(Couldn't resist the MK reference) Lol!
