The Bigfoot Man - My Bigfoot Sighting Episode 137

Hey, you there, thanks for tuning in. You're ready for another episode
of My big Foot Sighting. All right, then let's do this. Seen
a bunch of run down no horse towns where the church is the backbonels and
the bow and the fasting melodies cove in with the bone man Rose, where
the roofs run deep beyond the nose of the busy streets, with the songs
of the South of s. Then and I hear the prompt porch picking down
home rhythm bringing out I don't run from banjam music. Yeah. If you'd
like to be able to listen to the show without ads and have full access
to bonus content, that's an option. To find out how, please go
to my Bigfoot Siding dot com. My Bigfoot Sidings is why I started the
Montana, Idaho Bigfoot and Research Group. It was formed four years ago.
I had an original siding in nineteen seventy eight, a full body siding of
a bigfoot at fifty yards coming out of an alpine lake. When I was
younger, being in the mountains, I spent a lot of time in mountains
alone, hunting, trapping, fishing, camping. There were things that would
take place I didn't understand, I get glimpses of something moving off, walking
upright, extremely large, and it didn't register at that time what I was
looking at. And then through the years I've always wondered just what it was.
And my interest really intensified when people started asking me about bigfoot if i'd
be willing to come into certain areas here in Montanne to actually do the field
research, which I did. Started four years ago. We met upon a
place in the Swan and on that one that first trip, it was an
interesting trip to the point where something had woken the wife up, smelling the
window where she was sleeping in the motorhome. We have a Class A motorhome,
so the window is off the ground caught a ways it woke her up.
She didn't wake me up. But during that time we captured a video
of a juvenile bigfoot that actually came into the camp. It was standing by
a small jeep I had. The next morning, I went out and I
measured from where she had pointed to the window to the ground was at nine
and a half feet, which put a creature well over ten and a half
maybe eleven foot tall. He heard it walk away real heavy footsteps. Now
every time we go into this area, only something does happen. Vocalizations,
frush tree breaks. We have on scat which I did send off to four
DNA labs and we did get the results back and they come back as an
unknown primate which can be cardiversial, which is understandable to me and others in
this field that I deal with. We firmly believe that Bigfoot is actually an
involving crimeate, just like humans are. We come out of the trees and
we learn as our brains and craniums got larger, we learn to adapt to
the environment, and we learned how to use tools, how to aspire.
Bigfoot is a free stage of that development. It does have a form of
communication. A lot of us feel that the rock knocks that they do is
actually a primitive form of more code that they know. We don't. We
develop Morse code for the telegraph and everything be able to send messages over and
all of this is speculation or theory. Nothing can be proven at this time,
and all we can try and do is do the best research we can
do. Get the evidence. Talk to the people that live in the areas
that are having encounters or having problems on their properties, and it's like a
jigsaw puzzle. You start putting the pieces together. There's so much to learn
about this bipedal creature. How can something like that survive so long without really
being recognized? And if you listen to the Native Americans and that I do
talk to Native Americans, I do interview bick what was already here when they
arrived in North America, the first people. So they have a history and
the culture of Bigfoot. If you look at pictographs, totems, in their
legends, their stories, Bigfoot is there is always been with them. But
then it's a very spiritual animal. It's a guardian of the mountains. It
speaks for those that can't speak. And you have to respect their outlook about
Bigfoot and talking to people at abencounters and I'm talking about forcers, fishing,
game law enforcement, respectable hunters, guys out fishing, floating rivers, hikers,
campers. They have come in contact with this creature. And I said,
for that, I've been around it, but not recognize what it was.
At that time, I was much younger. I used to run a
winter trap line a place called Gold Creek is up off the Blackfoot area and
now western Montana. Back then I didn't have snowmobiles. I had would call
the Modifyt's Alaska Trail. My trap line was twenty miles round trip. It
would take most of the day just go to the first ten mile seven traps.
They're checking them. And then I did down that night under a big
spruce and then come back by Gold Cricke itself on the beaver ponds. I
had to run my line. I went back, come back to zool and
then went back up. Next morning I went out. It snowed heavy.
My first coyo set. The only thing there was the head in the colimber
trap. The body was gone. The footprints in the snow were large,
but we had had six seven inches of snow on top of it. I
never thought about rushing the snow and on those tracks. Every trap after that
was destroyed. On the coyote line. When I come back along the Gold
Cricket itself, my beaver traft had been pulled out the water up or you'd
see what had broken the ice to get them out of the water. There'd
be beaver hair on, but the beavers were gone. Something took those Something
pulled the body off of that coyote and left the head. Was it bigfoot
that's doing anything capable of doing that? At that time of year, the
bears are in harbernation, mountain lions are journaling the lower land away from the
deep snow. You might have bodcasts and links, but they're not capable of
doing stuff like that. And it's just been a quest since then to really
learn about it. I'm doing a lot long line research. And the first
reporting of a bigfoot was nine sixty six AD with Leif Erickson in Newfoundland.
He describes a large, hairy, smelly manlike creature that was very aggressive towards
them. The phone that in sixteen twenty nine, a Spanish explorer ordered by
the King of Spain to travel the western side of South America and North America,
he writes in his book, when he got into the Pacific North with
of a large hairy manlike creature they had seen from shore from the boat that
was walking along the shore. So we're getting back into history here where there
has been sightings the Pywood Indians in Utah, Arizona that talk about the war
they had with the red hairy giant, that they were coming stealing the women,
children, horses and eating them. And they eventually overcame these creatures.
By legend they had walled them up inside of a cave and that that problem
was over. There's also histories of conflict of the Pacific Northwest with Bigfoot.
In the Native Americans, they're battling. Bigfoot can be very aggressive. Why
we don't know. I'll give you two incidents. I was in Saint Mary's
during the night research of my son's property. Standing there. There are three
of us, my son, a friend Josh, and myself Georgh and I
was standing next to each other. We had a log thrown between us,
a small log they come out of nowhere for the way as you walk away
and you leave the area. For some reason that Bigfoot did not like us
being there, and it let us know. Now this last trip up in
the Swan one night there was a beautiful loud vocalization about sixty five yards from
damp. The following night, and this is the first time it has ever
happened. Something was thrown at the big motor home. It had never happened
before. I've never had aggressions from Bigfoot up there. Now. I contributed
to several factors who was with me. Two individuals I won't say their names,
it's not important. But they had dogs and they let the dogs run
wild. I feel their foot took offense to that. So the next morning
my daughters had come up with a friend. We tore the camp down and
I left the area out of courtesy. I will be returning there to try
to make amends. Before I never had a problem with bickfoot sides of the
mortar home. You'd actually see hand prints where they were looking in the window.
Will out sleep in the rear windows. So throughout my life they've always
been there. That sighting coming out of Crystal Lake was totally unexpected. I'd
been fishing ir Allowed twenty Brookie, trying these outline legs, so I fished
pretty much all day. I got my limit. It was cool afternoon.
I was coming out and I could hear a log be and tore a park
down below this old binding road. So I went down. I just kept
walking, but I was cautious because I had seen bear scat now the kreole.
I was carrying that fish, and the wind was blowing down the road,
so if a bear would come up, it would smell the fish.
Well walked up when that road wasn't a bear. It was a creature around
eight and a half a tall. When it stopped, it looked at me,
had long arms, a barrel chest, more of a rounded head than
chronicle, a flat nose, crew cruden eyebrow mouse is part of the open.
You could see the four banks. The lakes are extremely muscular and across
stop went up the bank of steep bank. Then it taralleled the road above
the road above me to this behind me, and that's when I could smell
it. It had a decayne rotten, inky, skunky, moldy smell.
It's the smell you never forget. Well, Pruden says, you get moving,
but you don't want to run because it's bick was an aphex predator.
You run your game. So I just started walking away, back tourst my
rig and down the road a little bit. I stopped and I dropped four
trout on the ground, and I put a stack of rock left and come
home. Two days later, A friend and I went in and when I
got to the rocks, there was a fourth rock on top of the three,
and under the fourth rock was a feather. Well we got to the
lake. You could feel you were being walked when we come out, you
felt you were being followed. You didn't see anything, you can't hear anything,
was the sense. When I got to the rocks, I dropped four
more fish and just continued down the trail. My friend never said anything.
He didn't say worried about if you saw anything or what was taking place.
Almost all encounters or by accident. I've got a photographs of me and my
daughter walk and I set up a trail down through this small meadow, and
then there's nothing. The third one's the one that catches every the ice.
There's two bigfoots standing in the trees, a mature one and a juvenile,
and possibly a third one, maybe a female. We firmly believe bigfoot does
have a family unit, It has a territory, and it will defend that
territory. That may be one reason why a lot of them you get aggressive.
We feel around if the female as bread is giving out birth as a
newborn, like any other animals, they do become more aggressive to protect the
baby, and that could be a reason for a lot of the aggression of
big foot, especially in the spring. Now people talk about Bigfoot taking people.
We have places in Montana the very Tuoth Mounts is a good example.
A lot of people come up miss there and they don't know why. The
most recent, according to the deputy sheriff I know, was a young woman
come up missing. They couldn't find her. Three days later they went back
and they found her. According to the corner and everything, something that had
put a large boulder on top of her basically crushed during each ob boulder.
It wasn't a rocks fid. So anytime we do go in the field looking
for Bigfoot, we have to be aware that he could be aggressive. And
I don't like to take weapons into the field because we I feel and others
do that Bigfoot consents when you're carrying a weapon, and that may in turn
make him aggressive. Bigfoot is curious about it, and you'll get a lot
of reports's happened to us. You'll be able to camp fire. You're sitting
around talking, you're laughing. All of a sudden, you get a feeling
you're being watched. He's in the woods. You don't see him, He's
watching you. He's curious, what are you doing? What are you about?
Big Foot will mimic. He's known to mimic animals, birds. His
favorite is a screech out. When he does mimic a screech out, it
sounds like it, but it's not. Is Kyle a yelp? Sounds like
a Kyle, but it's not. There are reports that hasn't happened to me
yet, and I hope it does. That they'll be cracking up jokes and
people laugh. And also in the woods they hear a chuckle like something that's
laughing with a real deep laugh, which shocks everybody because there's nobody there but
them. I never know when I'm out there doing this field research exactly what's
going to happen. One trip up there, I stepped out of the motor
home, there was that smell that rot came, skunky, stinky, moldy
smell was in there and then hung around the camp for three hours. Somewhere
around the camp there was a big foot standing marching. And these are the
things that catch you off guard because you don't expect it on being out.
You hike into an area to do something and when you come back there trees
pushed over the trail that you have to walk around. They weren't there when
you went in. I've had it happen in my four wheel drive going to
an area to do research. When I come out, there's been trees thrown
across the road. I always carry a chain so his helphut to cut them
out of the way. Is it a warning? Possibly? I've come across
the structures, exes, broken branches, possible nests that aren't human made.
These are areas that people generally don't go into. I'm an adventurous person.
I will go into these areas. I do prospect for gold, so areas
I do go in. You're sometimes prospecting. All of a sudden you get
a rock thrown in the water by you. You feel you're being watched as
you're prospecting, or you'll have hebbles thrown at you and you don't see nothing.
Where are they coming from? If you're the only person there, it
only leads to speculation. One thing that's bit put now in my research in
the Congo jungles of Africa, there is a bipedal primate that just made an
appearance. It's actually letting the scientists study them, so hopefully we'll have results
from them pretty soon. And I just got a report in the Amazon River
basin another bipedal primate. This has all been coming out, But people have
to realize every year they're discovering new species of primate and other animals. Look
at the ocean, how much new species they find in the ocean. It's
no different than on land animals. They thought when extinct are actually into esteem
they retreated into very remote areas. Now as human encroachment and development take place,
we are getting into these areas. These encounters become more frequent. I
mean, I get reports all over the world, all over Montana. I'm
now talking to a couple easter of Billings, Montana. Every time they go
to this area, they feel they're being watched. They have rockstrowing at them,
rock storwing in the water. They don't see what's doing it. If
nobody's around, what's logical explanation? We as big foot receichers are going to
look at us. Hey, it's the bigfoot. It's an area I need
to get too. I just got reports out of the Oxfall, which she's
up in the Yacht River area in northwestern Montana, of several encounters of a
bigfoot along the Yak River. It's hard for me to go every place that
there's been reports. Right now, I am at documents to law enforcement and
all that at four hundred and ninety five sightings a bigfoot throughout Montana, a
lot more than what you see on these maps. And I'm in the process
actually making a map with all these reports. Some areas like Browning, Montana,
on the reservation, Bickfoot's very active graveyards. For some reason, bigput
is attracted to graveyards and most of the times he goes there at night.
Is it something but he passed away that he's attracted to. We don't know
what Bigfoot does with those that die because he bury. It's a candell because
they eat it. We don't know. You don't find the bones, then
we'll give you a good example, Gian Pithecus. The size of that giant
ape of China is based on several molars and just fossilized bones. It's hard
to take just how big an animal is based on few fossils. Now,
everybody used to say there's never, never any primates in North America. Wrong.
Last summer in northern Canada they found small primate fossils. Basin in Wyoming
they found large primate fossils. We had primates in North America, and we're
looking at that time, Like there's a Doic period where all mammals were extremely
large, the beavers, the oxen, and as the climate and environment changed,
a lot of animals downside we have like our beaver today are the alligator.
Crocodiles from prehistoric time are much larger. But as the environmental change took
place there warming or whatever, glacier rifts, everything changed and animals adapted to
it. Those that couldn't did survive. And that's one reason I think giant
pithecus when extinct is it could not adapter the environmental change there. It's highly
possible. All of this is speculation and theory. It's hard to prove something
that you can't really spend time with. Another good example is a mountain gorilla
in Africa. It was a legend the airymen in the rainforest until it was
finally spotted and finally document I believe it was in nineteen sixty five, and
it's the separate species of gorilla. Yet here's a legend that is actually real
and there's been extensive study. Jane Goodall has studied it. I think Maria
Maynor has studied the mountain gorilla. They're the experts in the prime of chimpanzees,
the gorilla expertition, bigfoot. They're on the right track to me.
They don't spend enough time in a given area For us. If it's an
active ary, we continue to return to the same area. Eventually we're going
to get what we're looking for. Now this last trip we found more scated
samples have gone out to the four laps. I'm just waiting for the results.
Two guys are sitting by the campfire. I was in the mortar home.
I have a handheld thermal unit. He scanned behind him. The thermal
image he foot uh picked up. It is shocking. I sent it to
my analyst. He was puzzled by it. It's not a signature from the
tree. He's able to slow the video down. It's something between ten and
a half and eleven foot tall beaking around the tree at them. He had
three other analysts look at that, and they all agree it's not the heat
signature tree. It's a large creature. It's not a bear by that tree.
The thermal images on the ground could be small animals, or could be
the heat signature from it walking, but there's definitely something there. This is
what makes it fascinating. You don't know what you're going to come across.
I would have never thought of swinging that handheld thermal unit around the camp.
Now I will be at night because one hundred yards it picked up a heck
of a thermal image, so I know we got that range. And brain
didn't know you could actually assume the lends to get a closer picture of it
because he was just learning how to use it. We try new research methods.
The next one we're actually going to be using solar powered motion detectors and
they'll have trail cams and each of the lights have seventy two LEDs, so
something triggers those motion detectors. He's going to like the area the trail cams
will capture in color, whether video, photograph, whatever it is. You've
got to realize I've caught elk, deer, moose, wolves, and I
finally took three years to get a bird on the trail cam. Theare's no
guarantee you're going to catch it and sing. Your placement of the trail cams
is important, but does it necessarily mean he's going to be there? And
that's why you keep going back and doing the research and trying to understand what
you're seeing. I have a ten x thirty gazebo set up. We have
power to it. I have a microscope that plugs into my laptop with a
camera on. I can examine any hair sample come in. I put together
twenty one hair samples that I can fare hair in the field to and that
includes bare hair and all that. So if it doesn't match any these twenty
one, what is it? What did it come off of it? And
we're really important looking at the air follow you because that's where the DNA will
be. We will be getting into taking water samples and that for environmental DNA.
The DNA and get no center. So for us, it's a percussion
of learning. And when people talk about they want to start field research,
they don't realize the investment it takes just to get the basic equipment. But
you have to understand the area you're going into. Here, Montana, Western
Montana is a rugged area. We have big mountains. This freak weather we
have right we've had is driving everybody else. It just got then snow in
twelve to fourteen inches upon the mountains ring in the valley while we're in the
swan. We have two nice days out eleven days. It rained every day
at night, so you have to look at adverse weather. So there you're
not going to go in the field doing research so you don't get wet.
I won't and I don't expect anybody with me to do the same. So
we're going to do is try to draw them into the base cap. Around
the base cap, I play a nice stereo. I put music on and
hope that we can draw them in. So I also learned from two experiences.
If somebody has negative attitude or there's something negative about him, Bigfoot doesn't
come around. He can sense the negativity. When they leave, Bigfoot chills
up. He comes around. You know it, you can feel it.
There's just a sentence. You know he's there watching you. But negative people,
no, they won't come around. The other thing we know the high
probability that Bigfoot travels in a family unit. The mature male may have the
baby, a young woman, a year ling. We call it on tefees
and that I've come across big Tfee's No. Eight nine ten eleven feet tall
the alternate tree, but hit on the ground. There's a small TV which
tells me a juvenile Bigfoot is mimicking the adult Bigfoot, they'll build a nest.
All see you see a little nest. The young learns through the adults,
just like the bear, a deer. All animals learned through the adults.
And I don't feel it's any difference with Bigfoot. The young have to
learn he is a predator. He's known to pick up roadkill. He's known
to ambush deer. He will actually build an ambush site, and it's a
lot of the main game trail. It's like logs put up depending on which
direction of the wind is blowing. He'll be on the opposite side, so
the wind's blowing towards him, so any game coming down the trail won't see
him. He'll ambush him. Most all edible press that deer in that eat
bears heat. Big Foot's going to eat cattail, riots, rose hips,
oh buckleberries, blueberry strawberries, wild onions, things like that. There are
mushrooms and stuff that they'll eat. We eat it, they eat it.
If you watch deer when they're eating shaggy manes, they like shaggy manes.
And as soon as you pick a shaggy man can't pick up what it's purple
as voiceless. When they first come out of the ground, they're a ball
and they grow into a nice shaggy Mean, those things are excellent saltat and
garlic. But but it's going to feed on them. So this deer suit
of bear, oh pop ball before it turns. The seed is a solid
thing. It's edible to the point we can eat it ourselves. So in
any area we're going to, we're looking at what kind of food source could
bigfoot be taken? Now, in every spring in the streams here in Montana,
the trout and the silver salmon all spawn, the rainbow trout and the
coconut salmon. That's a natural food source for it. I have come across
primitive fish traps in remote areas that are in use. You see me,
You don't want to mess with them. Something just does. You leave it
alone. But it catches by surprise, because it has to be an intelligent
animal to build something like this. Even being primitive, there are structures than
built. The branch is actually woven together. Why you see that's smart,
that advanced. I believe, yes, I think he's more advanced than we
realize. They have their own form of languages. The communication they have a
way of alerting each other. They have a way of building this a warning
structures. Another thing to watch for in the mountains. If you ever come
across a deer skull in a tree and there's a next I leave the area,
it's a definite warning you're not welcome. These are the things you learned.
You don't learn it overnight. This is years of being in the mountains.
Anything that you're not normal is to you. You have to look at
if it's not normal what you used to see him. And this is what
bigfoot research is about. We're looking for that things that are not normal what
we're used to seeing. It's those little things like a hair on a log,
and they're hard to see. But all of sudden you see one.
You'd walk right by without knowing it scat. You think, oh, that's
bear scat, and then you realize it's not bear scat. It's bigger.
It's more firm bear scat. Maigue what they're eating. Jarney's in a pile.
These aren't in a pile. They're actually laid out on the ground.
Does Bigfoot pop up? We have a hair thing. It's been sent out
to find out. It looks like a hairball. It was close to where
this scat was stolid. Is it from Bigfoot? I don't know. We
won't know until the death reguilts back, and that's probably about three months.
So everything we do that I do is I'm trying to teach people what I've
learned, the experiences I'm having all in the field or when I was younger.
It's hard sometime to describe what you see without being there, and I
make a mistake a lot of times. I don't carry a camera. Now
I have to have a cell phone because my heart in that. So now
I can start taking pictures. I do have a Nikon thirty five milimeter digital
that takes fantastic pictures on it. You have to put it on a tripod.
As a total poll a lens, you can take a clear picture of
something the ten miles it's like a train in front of you. We set
that up, we look through that and we watch open areas in that and
so far we haven't caught anything on that camera. Most everything's been on trail
cans. We try to have a minimum ten trail cans out in the field.
I didn't given time. We have four around the camp, six in
the field I'm increasing that to fifteen trail camps this year. The more we
can get out there and we leave them. Once we set up a trail
camp, we don't go back into that area. I don't want pictures of
you or anybody on that trail camp. But dear elk moose, possibly a
big foot. That's critical and it's hard to get people that come to the
field to understand that what's their set stay out of the area. There's other
areas we can do our field research in. I have areas we do night
research in that. Cly All leads that because I have the experience in the
mountains and these are new areas for a lot of the people. So I'm
not going to turn them loose out there. But everything you do like I
do, is I'm trying to recall from our youth, what I was seeing,
what I was smelling. Why is this thing so different than that When
you know it's not a bear, mountain, lion, badger, or anything.
Something did it? Something made that We have reports and I've come across
is twice myself black bears. One was a mature male had a snack broke.
All the ribs had been crushed. The second was the cup, same
thing. The ribs neck had been broken and the ribs were crushed. One
of his handcourds was missing. Now we just got reports and no one of
my guys I do Well podcasts talked to a woman and the ball marshall.
They're finding chrissty bears in the same condition next broken. The body's basically beat
the pole. What's the killing The fishing game doesn't know. There's nothing capable
of killing that. Think of an animal you're talking to him might weigh fifteen
hundred pounds or more. It's quite capable of killing our grizzy or black bear.
It definitely can kill you if it wants to. So these are the
things you know you have to be aware of. And as the years go
by and the more research that you like I get into, I have more
questions and answers. Every field research trip I take, I end up with
more questions and answers. Somewhat I can answer most of it I can't.
So every trip it's like can I I answer some of these questions that I
have? It is like what built that? Where did that sound come from?
Where did that rock come from? What's through it? This is the
particulars that you get into in field research is the unknown and you don't know
what you're going to encounter. I've got a video of a large silver object
and the base camp behind the mortarhome campfires reflecting off them. Nobody knows what
it is. Mahanna says, no idea what it is. It's hovering just
that tree line. What is it? I'm not saying it's the UFO,
but there's something there that doesn't make sense. That one morning we woke up
and the back of the motorhome had a fog. That's the only place that
had the fog. Was that back corner of that mortarhome? What caused that?
No place else was there a fog. These are the things that are
puzzling and you're trying to figure out what's causing it. Well, why did
that big put that night come up to the window and smell and smelling the
wife while she was sleeping? What made him do that? What made the
juvenile come into the base camp? And you can tell it's very nervous about
being in the base camp. It looks right at the trail camp. Now
I have photographs from Saint Mary and my boy's property or there's three photographs.
First one's the first trip. It's something black trying to avoid the trail camp.
I try to set trail cams at seven d eight foot off the ground.
Now these two photos are unique. It actually has a large bigfoot standing
in front of the trail camp. You can see the massive shoulder, the
neck, you can't see the head. The next one is the most intriguing.
He's actually pointing at the trail cam. And if you large the photo
which I have on Facebook. I do have a group on Facebook at the
Montan, Idaho Bigfoot Research Group, and everybody's welcome to join. Just answer
the questions. People there a lot of aren't doing field researching. Way back
to this full you can actually see its fingernail to be enlarged. You can
see where it's cracked on the side. Just how big that index finger is.
He's pointing at the camera. He's not scared of it. All cameras,
majority of them. When they go out, they have a light that
flashes. It's a natural attractor. The deer see it. You can see
it in the videos. The elk see it, and all that think it's
going to see it. Do they make a sound? I don't know.
I've never heard the trail can make a sound, just a flashy might so
they know the trail cam's there. Can they cloak? I've never personally seen
it. I can't say they don't. I have to base everything in my
personal experiences. Are they interdimensional? I don't know. I can only based
on personal experience. And you hear a lot of people talking about it.
I can't say that's not real, that's not how it is because I can't
give a hon I's asked some of these questions until I personally witness it.
I have an open mind. That's the key and all of this field research,
whether this online or in the field, you have to have an open
mind. You have to be able to accept you're going to see things that
don't fit the norm. It's an exciting time and it can be a scary
time at the same time, because how are you going to react? All
of a sudden, he's there in front of you, a ten and a
half eleven foot bipedal creatures standing there looking at you. How are you going
to react? I know how I've reacted. My first one. I was
shocked. I couldn't believe what I'll see him, And that's a normal response.
Was I scared? I don't know. I think it was more shock
because it didn't fit what I was used to seeing. I've been around bears,
both blackbirds and critics of my life. Yes, they can walk upright,
only for a short distance. You're talking to bipedal creature that walks up
right period. He can out climb a mountain that you struggle to climb,
and he'll do it no matter minutes. And it's just it's the wonder of
learning. And not only that, the more you're in the woods, the
more you learn about the woods. We have a say, stop and listen
to the forest. It has a story. It will let you know.
One of the good indicators here in the mountains is the fine squirrel. If
they start sounding off at a distance and they start coming closer and their sound
off, that means something's coming. I listened one day and I was watching
about a mile away this maybe half a mile A pine squirrel let loose,
and all sudden it was like a chain reaction. Within thirty minutes there was
a black bear come walking out in the clearing and it was along the path
of those squirrels. The squirrels chatter, sound off, when Bigfoot is around,
it's possible. One thing we notice, and I've noticed it, the
woods go quiet. There is no sound that doesn't happen. Even when this
bears around, there's always sound. But when Bigfoot is around sound you know,
I talk about food. Think about a babybird in a nets. Any
sound near that desk, that little baby bird's going to sound up. I
guarantee you biguids couldn't eat it. And that's what it's all about, is
trying to understand about something that is so old, it's so knowing but unknown.
You know. It's like the ocean. We know the depths of the
ocean, what does it really pertain? They're always finding new stuff on the
deep dives and these submersibles and that even our lakes. What's really in the
lakes? You know they talk about Lockednz the mosster there. Flathead Lake in
western Montana has something similar to that is seen. What is it? Nobody
knows. They say it's a flesiosaurs. Well here recently of the story reading
the outline does look like a plesiosaurus. And there's a video taken off of
boat. It was on YouTube. It's a plesiosaurs coming out of the water
a small one. Are they still around? Possibly there was a fish.
They thought it was extinct until it was caught off the coast of Africa.
All they ever saw was fossils. But here's a living fossil. And what
people have to understand is you look at the alligator, the crocodile, the
turtle. They're all living fossils. The giant crocodiles were ten times bigger than
once we have today our biggest one, the saltwater croc and the nile croc.
We're small compared to the prehistoric crocodiles. The turtles are larger. But
everything downside due to the environment, you know, as the continent's change.
The weather changes. Right now, currently in Africa, there's a riff that
may eventually, maybe in a thousand years, we'll split Africa into The Big
Island in the Hawaii is another good example of nature. You have the big
One south of the Big Island is an underwater volcano that will eventually break the
surface. There'll be a new Hawaiian island. Our continent Earth is changing constantly
with our encroachment into remote areas, building homes and everything recreation. Now we're
getting into an animal's territory or that was safe for him, it's no longer
safe. Humans by nature will destroy and not try to understand. And one
of our goals in my group, the Montana, Idaho Bigfoot Research Group,
is the education and eventually give where we can protect bigfoot. It's an important
part of the occult, the ecosystem. We can't destroy something like this.
The more you get into it, to really you see them in that,
it's all inspiring. Even my voice is just just even a glimpse of a
bipedal creature eight nine foot walking away from you, swinging this arm might look
back at you. The Peterson Gamely film of Daddy as it's walking away looks
back. They'll do the same thing. Although that encountered or I couldn't get
a full sight, I can see him turn the head and look back towards
me. Now, with the new phones we have, I can have my
phone with me and start recording and taking photographs. Back then, that was
too much weight, you know, drafts are heavy enough. When I was
young, hike in the mountains and experiencing this stuff, I had a bedroll
that carried a singer shot twenty two and Ammo fish hooks in the bedroll and
I'd go up for three, four or five days and it was by myself.
I'd love the isolation. Even till today, I love the isolation of
the mountains. So me being in a base camp doesn't mean anything because I
enjoy it. Even when I was younger, I worked for outfitters as their
camp cook. There's another one for you. I was in Blang Creek and
the Bob Marshall and here's one we call amid Indian summer nice voming warm.
It wasn't hot. I had just gotten done checking the tack a grain and
hey because the outfitter was coming in, and I sat down on this stump.
Now I had a pine mart and I kind of made friends with it.
Was running around the tree. I looked up on this snow slide way
upon it and I washed or herd. Elk come across that trail about halfway.
They stopped, turn around took off running, which I thought was all,
well, maybe a grizzy bear. Well walked out on the trail was
in a greasy bear. It was a bipedal creature and I asked man to
distant, maybe a lem fete. It didn't take long to cross that snowslide.
After he crossed, I heard a real loud woof and then tree knocks,
and then up the other behind me, up the canyon there was tree
knocks. There was an answer. So the outfit that came out, I
asked him if he had had anything unusual around the camp he had seen.
He kind of chuckled. Well, the fish and game warning come in and
Virgil told can sell the big guy the fishing game ward and Will started laughing.
He said he's seeing a lot. There's a lot of bigfoot scene in
the Bob Marshall. The only way into the bar Marshal is fight foot for
horseback. They used to allow mountain bikes. I don't know what they do
anymore. When I was younger, the only way in was fight foot for
horseback. I personally have gone through the bar Marshall twice on foot, once
out of Pyramid Peak City Lake and the other out of a custom mont and
over Gray Butt into the south fork of the Platet. Even then you'd see
three breaks, funny structures. But as a kid, you already don't think
about things like that. Would the bar Marshall be an ideal place to do
a two week field research. Yes, but you'd have to pack in everything
there. You can have no gas or equipment, so you fire when everything
has to be cut with a bucksho. You know, it's the potentials there,
but it's also the cost to do it, get an outfitter to take
you into set up a base camp and then come get you. So we
try to do the best we can on the limited resources that we have.
Pusually when I like myself, I have funded this of the Montana, Idaho
Dick that group for four years is I've got all the basically all the field
equipment that we need. We use dr owes, everything, and eventually we'll
upgrade a lot of it to something even better. But that takes time and
that and I want the people to be asking questions. I want people to
join the group and aren't afraid to ask questions. I said. We have
four other field researchers from around the country or in that one chat room pretty
much all the time they are doing that research. We can talk about tracks,
what to look for, how to measure i'd spread, or how guests
make the heights of a big foot by stride and the depth in the ground
and mudding up there you can get a rough estimate of how heavy the animal
is. A lot of times you don't find more than one track, and
that's been a mystery and some of us, like myself, it depends on
the ground a hard pack. You might catch a track, a footprint,
and maybe not another one. I can give you an example when I lived
in Georgia, I bought a home up there. One morning I walked out.
The grisly plow marks everything right, it has stepped on the gravel driveway.
I could follow it by the scuff marks on the driveway. Tailor got
to the asphalt. That was the only clear indicator of a bear, the
size of those cloths. And I had my friend who's Gay Moore and look
at He said, yeah, that was a big grizzly. There are grizzlies
in western Montana. They're not isolated just a glacier park or Yellowstone. We
have grizzlies in the Rattlesnake drainage down the bitters west of us. The grizzlies
are there, and some are the black bears and their competition for Bigfoot and
any kind of food, and a lot of sightings are like I said before,
are by accident. People driving home late at night, all sidess walking
along the road. They see him pick up roadkill carry it off. A
lot of ranchers I talked to in the spring March is a calving season.
They have calves come up missing that are carried off. They're not drive away.
A nave hole rancher in New Mexico, he has the same problem.
Something's carrying off sheep. They're not dragging him away. What's capable of carrying
off a sheep. It's not a bear or a mountain lion. They be
a dragmark. It has to be something large and bipetle. And this is
this is where research is important to try to understand just what is taking place
in any given area. Right now, I am concentrated in the Swan because
for four years something always happened. We find something, we get a photograph,
we get the thermal, we find a scat, we get the vocalizations.
You'd be standing by go crik and a rock lands in the middle of
the strip. What through it? This is what keeps us going back.
But I feel negative people you get a negative result from Bigfoot. I've never
had anything thrown at my mortarom to that night and I had an accident before,
same thing, very negative attitude. Nothing he left, it all happened,
even the woods. Everything changed after he left. But this last one
way of the weather was time to come home. So we tore a camp
when I come home, but I will be returning. I don't know if
I'll take the motor home at the class an we're I'll go in there is
do a tent camp, and it's just something I have to do. And
maybe it's called making amends to whatever it was that through that object against the
mortar home. But this is all the unknown. And yes, well they
show on TV Expedition Bigfoot, they can show you the basics of field research
because there's a lot more to us than what they show. And Maria Meyer
have nothing but the highest respect for that woman and all them because they are
trying to but they are limited because it's TV and they are somewhat scripted.
We who do the old research, like myself, we're not limited. We're
not scripted. We're out there doing it, you know, walking, taking
our time, we move slow. We're looking looking for that hair, We're
looking for that scat, for that footprint, for structures, for three breaks,
anything, that's not normal. We're looking for and it takes time to
cover an area by moving slowly, and that's the only way you're going to
find it. This year, it was the first year we didn't get to
use them because of the rain. We're actually going to be using bodycams same
as the consound, so as you're walking you can be talking about what you're
looking on. The body cams going to capture what you're looking at. We
try new things out. You will eventually run across something that will work for
us. But until then you're testing equipment, which is the best. I'm
on my third set of trail cams. I keep upgrading the trail cams to
something better, and generally somebody wants to do field research. I take my
old field equipment and I give it to them. I don't purge them.
I give them the trail camps, the sonic listening devices and stuff like that
because I want them in the field doing research. All I ask is they
send me like the send cards and stuff like that so I can look at
on my computer system if it warrants, and I send it off to the
analyzed. You know, it's just it's not a game. When we're out
there and people think, oh, you're just out there for the heck of
it. We're not. We're dedicated to finding out just what Bigfoot is.
The more we can get in the field, the more we are learning.
And that's what it's all about, to build a knowledge base of a bipedal
creature. It's been around for quite thousands of years. He was here before
the Native Americans crossed that land bridge. You have to look how old that
is. And the question rises way things I say, you have to look
at this way. When the Native Americans got into Wyoming in that first one,
the medicine wheel in Wyoming was already there. They don't know who built
it. You hear of the people before when the Polynesians, the first timeland
they landed on was Kawai. There's a ditch there called the Manahuny Ditch.
It's a perfect built ditch. It was already on the island when the Polynesians
arrived on Hawaii. Who built it? What built it? Like the medicine
wheel, who built it? It's been around longer than humans have been on
this continent. It did put migrate into Asia and spread throughout Asia. I
get reports from Russia, the Yamasti, which they're trying to blame for killing
the Donovan Party that one winner. Who knows. But I'm getting reports from
Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Norway, Sweden, a buy pedal creatures,
the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam of bipedal creatures. This is worldwide.
It's just not North America. And this is where the research is gets
interesting when you start getting reports from other places. I never know when I'm
going to get an email or a message about an encounter in another country.
I can wait. I'll have two, three of them, and I always
follow up to talk to the people for more information. And everything is the
same thing we're experiencing here. It walks up right, it has vocalization,
is the way it does tree noxy rocks, build structures, appears to be
homnorvious. I can't really say it. East meat, vegetables. It's the
same creature. But it's worldwide. It's not a local phenomena. Throughout the
United States, you hear different names a skunk, caper, grassmen, they're
all bigfoot. They're just different names out of different locations of the country US.
It's bigfoot. The West coast of South Court. That's how the natives
they're referred to. And the other thing to note when Lewis and Clark was
coming to Louisiana purchase, he was warned by the mad Dan Indians and other
Indians of the hairy men in the mountain that would steal his horses and need
them. Nowhere in his journal there's a notation about it. This is part
of our history. Daniel Boone, David Crockett just talk about them kill him
one. Well, that's true. I haven't really researched it yet. What
I will be and that's what online research is about. You hear about this
stuff, you go online, you spend hours looking for it, and you
finally find it. A lot of stuff I come across is I'm looking for
something else, and I come across different things that draws me into a whole
new area of research. And the biggest thing is having the patients to do
it, even in the fields, having the patients do it. I love
being in the mountains, so I don't mind going out there, and I
have a good group the ones that do join me that are serious about it.
They're out there whether it's wet or not. They will go on the
field and do the research. I don't have to. As the founder of
the Montene, Idaho Bigfoot Research Group. I'm there to talk to the game
warns of four service for that stop by the base camp and want to know,
or I go down to this store. I talk to the locals approaching
me about experiences with bigfoot. They've seen or have rocks thrown at their houses
or bigfoot knocking on the side of the house. It happened to me up
in Debortion, the house I bought up there. All of a sudden two
three o'clock in the morning, up high, something would knock on the side
of the wall. My wife I got marriage, she finally heard it.
It startled her. You look outside, there's nothing there. What was knocking
that high up on the wall. There's only one creature up Stabnac the year,
three knocks in the year vocalizations, one ranch up and I knocking to
see the owner's name. They've seen bigfoot walking in the big field just to
the lakes, across some Devortion. That's where I had my first encounter full
on siding up bigfoot in seventy eight. It's another active area and unfortunately I'm
by myself. A lot of times I can't go everywhere. I have a
list to where I need to go, but there's no way I want to
get to everything this year. But I keep trying. You do best you
can. But it's all about learning and every research. If I do,
it's a learning experience. You learn more and more and more and begin to
understand here's an animal, bipedal creature. It has a territory. It will
not leave that territory unless there's forest fires or striven out by another bigfoot group.
Well, I was the same areas. They have a lot of vocalization.
It's soundly aggressive between two units bigfoot, we call them units. There
was twenty three forest fires burning around Saint Mary's. Bigfoot was moving, it
was going into territory. About the Bigfoot, there's going to be a verbal
conflict. They're going to be a lot of vocalizations between them to determine dominance.
And that's what it's all about. Everywhere you go. I am a
strong believer many are that Bigfoot is a family. It's not a solitary creature.
Those that you might see solitary might be young that's gone off to find
a mate, a new territory. But the mature ones they have with a
territory and they wander that territory. That's why it's so hard sometimes to pinpoint
them when they're going to be in your area of that territory. How big
the territory is, we don't know. The only way we could do is
someone get a tracker on one, and I can't see doing that. There
may be a way to do it where it's snagged on its fur. I
see that used on exhibition Bigfoot. The follow one that works. I haven't
tried it yet here, you know, on our field research. And like
I said, you know, I spent two weeks in Browning, Montana talking
to the Native Americans, the Blackfeet over there about their encounters of Bigfoot.
And everyone opened up and they talked about where they've been seen, and they
actually pointed the areas out. And you want to listen to these people.
They don't trust a lot of us, I wanna say, whites, and
there's a reason. But once they begin to trust you, they'll start talking
to you. It's all about respect. And once one starts talking, work
gets around and they all start talking to you. When I left Browning,
they gave me the name the Bigfoot Man, and I'm welcome back to any
time to continue the interviewing. Well I get in the field, possibly,
I don't know yet if I do go back, I've been talking a while.
I've given you all a lot to think about while. Please come visit
us on Facebook. It's a Montana, Idaho Bigfoot research group. I'm gonna
call her quits for now, and I'm sure if he wants me to come
back and talk again some other time, I'd be more than happy to do
that. I want you all to take care and you all be safe out
there, and remember this, we have something very special in this country walking
around as the bipedal creature protective. You all be safe and God let you
all. Well, that's it for tonight's show. If you've had a big
Foot siding and would like to be a guest, please go to my Bigfoot
Siding dot com and let us know. Thanks for listening. Have a great
