45-70 about do it?

And just how the hell are they supposed to make a tv series about something as simple as that? Sheesh.

Lol I don’t know what they’ll find, but I can pretty much 100% guarantee what they won’t find (sasquatch).

Made me look it up.   American physician and missionary Thomas Staughton Savage obtained the first specimens (the skull and other bones) during his time in Liberia.[6] The first scientific description of gorillas dates back to an article by Savage and the naturalist Jeffries Wyman in 1847 in Proceedings of the Boston Society of Natural History,[70][71] where Troglodytes gorilla is described, now known as the western gorilla. Other species of gorilla were described in the next few years.[5].

I grew up on the Kenai Peninsula and heard about this story as a young man. This area is near the southern tip of the KP well away from the road system and other communities. It is south of Nanwalek which is south of Seldovia, so it is plenty distanced from the pot farms and hill billy's. That being said, the area isn't super huge as far as supporting a secret community of bigfoot. I have wanted to go hunting there for years with a group of my pals to see what it was about. I know people that know the bear guide that went along, so I will try to get his take.

Interesting please post it if you can .

From what I read it's a hard place to get permission to explore.

"They hardly slept that night, for the sounds of twigs snapping in the gloom alerted the men to the animal's presence. As their fire blazed, the trappers sensed it waiting, and heard its woeful cry echoing through the woods."

That quote is directly from the Teddy Roosevelt article linked.Very similar to my experience except we
didn't "hardly slept".  We didn't sleep at all.

Pucker factor 10/10

Here is some documented footage of a samsquanch attack in Canada.  

Warning, scary to watch.

But it will be the researchers gNot bigfoot.

LOCATION DETAILS: The sighting occurred in a high-elevation park meadow in the Fan Creek Drainage in Yellowstone's northwest corner.

NEAREST TOWN: Mammoth Hot Springs

NEAREST ROAD: US 191

OBSERVED: The following account was given to Colorado curator T.E. Stein during a phone interview with Bob Jackson in 2003. Recently, Jackson gave permission to submit his account to the BFRO. Jackson, also known as "Action Jackson," was legendary among park supporters - notorious among outfitters and scofflaws - for his enforcement of park rules and regulations. He retired as a Yellowstone ranger in 2004. Few people have ever known Yellowstone's backcountry and its wildlife like Jackson.

"The first time heard anything was in the mid-late 70s. An outfitter and I were riding up Fan Creek in the northwest section of the park. Up the drainage in Stellaria Creek, we heard a sound that just kept going and going. It was probably a mile away. It filled the whole valley up - kind of 1,000 like elk going to their death. I couldn’t believe this thing had that much volume for that long a period of time. He had never heard anything like it, neither.

"A couple of weeks later, I was coming out from Sportsman Creek, taking a trail which comes out of Fan Creek. I was 11 miles back in, up high in a subalpine fir meadow complex.
I was on a steep sidehill with horses and in woods but down below about 40-50 yards there was a kind of fairly flat meadow, with dense subalpine thickets. There were these low fir growths that have a centerpiece tree and then everything kind of cone-shapes to ground. They were about 20 yards wide or so.

"The horses were flaring their noses and snorting, like they do when a grizzly bear is real close, but I could see fairly good all around and I couldn’t see one. So I started looking down below me, and the horses were really agitated – they’re wanting to get out of there. I held them but only with effort.

"I looked down to see where griz was, and I saw a deer at edge of thicket. All at once it bolted and started jarring ahead perpendicular to me. Right then coming out the other side was this thing that was running on two feet. It was black like a bear and it had long arms and ran. I think I held it there 30 seconds, but it got scared and then came out. It ran but not super fast. It ran to another thicket and went at angle out of thicket to another thicket about 40-50 yards away (At this point, the creature was 75 yards downslope.)

"It kept hitting these thickets trying to get away from me. I’ve never seen a bear do that. They’ll always take a straight line.

"The first thing I thought was “bear” but right away I realized this black shaggy thing wasn’t a bear. This thing was smart. I’ve never seen animal trying to pick up protection as it fled.

"I tied that together with sound had on other side of the drainage.

"It wasn’t that tall – it looked like it was like 6 foot, maybe 6' 5". The side of the face looked like it had a lot of fur. Most of the time it was angling away, so I only got a good look at the head for probably the first 10 steps.

"The proportions of the torso - it looked more stocky than anything else. I notived the arms swung more than a human’s would and it didn’t have elbows cocked.

"This was no hoax. I’ve ridden maybe 50,000 to 70,000
miles in the backcountry on horses and you encounter a lot of bears when you do that. This thing, whatever it was, the horses looked straight down to it.

OTHER WITNESSES: Several other witnesses, unnnamed.

OTHER STORIES: After his sighting, Jackson started asking other people if they had ever heard any unusual vocalizations.

"One guy I met in the northeast section of the park, he was camped illegally. He said he heard a noise real close to him. I made him describe it. He said it was probably within 20 yards."

"One other outfitter heard that sound also, that would be back in early ‘80s for both of those."

"Another time a crew examining the blister rust (a disease of whitebark pine) in 1970s came on an elk in the southeast corner of park. They came on a deboned elk and saw these real big footprints. They got kind of scared and headed out. On that same trip they heard really weird noises up near Mountain Creek."

(Jackson also recounted this trackway.)

"One time I was skiing into to Heart Lake on the Thorofare. We were 5-6 miles east of the road, and myself and the e others. All at once we saw these footprints going across the trail. There wasn’t any path, and no one used to ski that far in back then. These were real real big footprints stretched out far apart. It was deep snow but it was a fairly distinct track. That was the first and only track I’ve seen."


"In early to mid '80s, in same drainage as Mountain Creek, we were just coming into the Howell Creek cabin near Eagle Creek Pass at 8500 feet, we were coming in right before dark and we heard that noise. I timed it at 26 seconds, about 300-400 yards beyond the cabin up the drainage. I checked the next day couldn’t find any footprints. Whatever that thing is, it, doesn’t let up to take a breath."

(I asked Jackson to describe the sound.)

"It’s like mechanical, rhythmical, I can't even describe it, It isn’t like a mountain lion or bear and bear can make some pretty weird noises"

"I heard no other reports of bigfoot until 3-4 years ago, I was in Mountain Creek, heard I this thing again

"A district ranger once took sighting from a backpacker near Buela Lake that would have been in '70s, west of the south entrance Apparently the person watched one on other side of small lake for 10 minutes. The ranger felt the witness was very sane."

Don't worry, guys, our resident "expert" who sees bigfeets all the time, but somehow isn't able to obtain a shred of evidence, will be along shortly to tell us that "if you don't already believe, you never will no matter what I post"...and then post no evidence.

No shit. Something that I think about while glassing elk hunting... 3-5 miles from a rd, set up watching a bunch of country, think I have the area all to my self. Oh there's a hunter on that end of the valley. Oh look there's another pair working both sides of the river bottom. Oh look another over there... There's dam near not a stone upturned during the hunting seasons. Bike/hike 12-15 miles in, to be alone... NOPE... Run into hunters that thought the same.

At the very least a glory hole

I double checked. The 1901 date I used is for the mountain gorrila. The lowland gorilla had been discovered previously. The 1847 date still works for the point I was bringing up.

"The first thing I thought was “bear” but right away I realized this black shaggy thing wasn’t a bear. This thing was smart. I’ve never seen animal trying to pick up protection as it fled"

Uh, most animals I have ever encountered do that when spooked.
Deer almost always make the quickest move possible towards the most dense cover, then stop briefly to evaluate, then continue to escape.
I have even seen then hide down in ditches when wounded, let searchers pass, then get up, double back, and sneak out the way they came.

That wouldn't make for very interesting TV.

Both...

Lever action .45-70 NSR drills!

maybe not, but shape shifting, 6 dimensional traveling, DNA morphing, fuzzy picture taking, non thermal emitting, demons that look at lot like Bigfoot is supposed to, do

A Bigføøt once bit my sister.

That's what I thought. These people should put more thought into their novellas.

Yup, I swear the scale of Alaska escapes reality show viewers in the L48. Some of the folks who've lived in the mountains get it but flatlanders in general think like food and are scared of the dark.

I wonder how many bigfoot stories are nothing more than a cow moose charging up and stomping a belligerent drunk to death.

Does the archive thread of 'My near fatal encounter with big foot' from back in the day still exist?

Bro, that was 120 years ago, many things have changed.

Bigfoot doesn't exist, it's a fairytale.

Now she can only wear Will Perdue's shoes.


holy shit at that gif

There are a number of people on this very website that have had face-to-face sightings that would have no other reason to lie about it. I’m of the belief these things are legit. In before this gets moved to the Cryptid forum :-).

Watching episode 1 now. Seems legit.

It doesn't bleed and bullets can't kill it.

Interesting. My mother was born in Nulato... in 1945. Never even heard someone even mention that name u til now. She was orphaned at 5 and moved to Seattle to live with her aunt, so no idea if she'd ever heard tales of a Nulato-Squatch. She passed in 1997, so I can't ask her.

yep

Just like the tooth fairy

These guys are gonna find Bigfoot?  They literally couldn't even set up their tent the first night....



They make the AIMS Team (Mountain Monsters) look like Delta Force.

could this be his house?

I don’t care what it is with my M1 and a bandolier of ammo  I can kill it.

fuck yeah

Who hasn’t?

Big bore explosive bullets come to mind.  Not sure why.

So this thing leaves huge tracks everywhere it goes in the snow and squishy tundra...



But it can't be tracked!

I can't even buy a pack of smokes without running into 9 'Feets  she's fucked.

Imagine startling a silent, giant horse with fewer fucks to give about humans.



I'd be sitting in the living room and the exterior wall would flex and creak from one of the big bastards leaning on it and scratching

Never mind it was spooked by a skier behind it.

Dont forget about the smug know it all attitude putting down non believers as fools
