Welcome to the Big for Society and
this special members only episode, I talked

2
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:14.000
to Dan about his encounter that happened
in the Panhandle region of Idaho. It's

3
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:19.039
a very intense encounter for a few
different reasons, and one that will not

4
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:24.640
leave my mind for an extremely long
time. Again, thank you for your

00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.320
tees. It's a good one.
There's a break in the tree, so

11
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:07.319
I could see these grassy areas and
they kind of went in steps, and

12
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.400
I just made a note to myself, Hey, I'll come back tomorrow.

13
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:12.560
Hit it early, get down there
and see, you know, get down

14
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:19.560
there before even daylight and you know, lay up somewhere. But I decided

15
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.359
today I'm gonna follow this game trail. And I turned had only gone a

16
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:30.519
few steps, and I hear these
five distinct knocks, and the best way

17
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.879
I could describe them, it's like
if you spelled it out in a comic

18
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:45.040
book, thok fuck, just five
evenly spaced fuck fuck. And it was

19
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:51.400
coming directly from one of those.
What I could tell at first probably the

20
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:59.319
furthest clearing somewhere down there. And
I remember stopping and looking and going,

21
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:02.879
what someone doing down there? Beating
on a tree? There's no people up

22
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:07.199
here. This is horrible terrain that
we haven't seen anybody in a couple of

23
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.840
days. And I just thought,
okay, yeah, whatever, that's weird.

24
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.840
I don't know sound carries, but
sure, you know, sounds like

25
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:22.759
it was about two hundred and fifty
three hundred yards downslope, and I thought,

26
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.879
I don't know what to do,
but you know, times daylight's burning,

27
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:30.199
I'm gonna leave. And so I
was. I was just gonna keep

28
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:35.159
falling the trail, and then I
hear two more fuck fuck, and they're

29
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:40.199
from the same relative position. So
I was like, okay, you know

30
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:45.560
what, I haven't seen anything.
This sounds weird. Let's go see what's

31
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:51.520
going on. And at this point
I kind of I was just thinking that

32
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.439
if these are people, what would
they be doing down there. This doesn't

33
00:02:54.639 --> 00:03:00.159
sound like someone cutting wood. It
just sounds like someone taking a big,

34
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.800
you know, a big chunk of
wood and just whacking it on a tree.

35
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:07.280
I'm like, this is this doesn't
make any sense, but all right,

36
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.159
let's go find out what it is. I bored, so I start

37
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:15.680
going down the slope and like I
said, it would go in steps,

38
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:19.879
so slope down and then hit a
little bit of grass. In that first

39
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:23.000
little patch, I actually saw elk
sign. It was a little bit old,

40
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:30.000
but it was there, and I
stopped because I'm trying to listen for

41
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:38.599
additional sounds. I'm looking down there
to see if there's movement, and it's

42
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:44.400
just still absolutely still calm day the
only day up there that was even remotely

43
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:50.319
like that. Hardly even a blade
of grass was moving. And I went

44
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.639
through that same thought process, like
what the heck is this? You know,

45
00:03:54.240 --> 00:04:00.439
I should probably just turn around and
go back up slope. So probably

46
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:04.080
five minutes went by because I'm looking
and listening, you know, and then

47
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:09.800
whack I hear it again. So
now I'm like, okay, now I

48
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:15.360
have to go figure out what's doing
this. So my brain switched from this

49
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.680
might be a person down there doing
who knows what to I don't know what

50
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:24.600
type of animal. You know,
I've hunted in the Pacific Northwest my whole

51
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:29.360
life. What animal could do that? But I thought, that's the only

52
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:33.160
thing that makes sense at this point. I can't imagine a person somehow getting

53
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:39.759
up on this mountain not being visible
to us on the only road, which

54
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:43.879
we were at the terminal point of
that road, And what would they be

55
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.639
doing down there doing something like that. This didn't make sense. So I'm

56
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:53.000
going through animals. Maybe a bear's
messing with a log, maybe something's kicking

57
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:57.319
a tree. Whatever, I'm gonna
find out. So I start walking down

58
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:02.720
again, and I'm stopping frequently.
I had kind of gone into stalking modes.

59
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:09.680
So I'm walking very quietly, you
know, try not to even break

60
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:13.639
the crust on the snow, that
little skiff of snow too much, and

61
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.600
listening, listening, I hear nothing. The wind's not blowing. I started

62
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:23.279
thinking, maybe it's a tree that's
bumping into another tree. But I would

63
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.959
stop and look, and a slight
breeze, maybe five mile an hour breeze

64
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:32.720
would come up, but hardly enough
to even wiggle, like I said,

65
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:38.560
grass, So Okay, that's weird, that's not it. But I'm not

66
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:42.040
hearing anything. So I'm like I, once again, maybe I should just

67
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:46.879
turn around forget this happened, and
you know, come back tomorrow. And

68
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.839
then I get another single knock,
So okay, well, whatever it is,

69
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:55.399
it's still down there doing whatever it's
doing. I'm gonna keep going.

70
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:03.759
And this repeats itself again, and
I get a third knock, and I'm

71
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:13.040
repeating the same process. I started
moving so quietly and slowly because I wanted

72
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:17.879
I started getting this weird feeling that
these knocks were only coming when I was

73
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:24.240
stopped, and that didn't make any
sense. But I wasn't hearing them while

74
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:28.639
I was walking. And once again, this whole distance was about two hundred

75
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:33.079
and fifty maybe three hundred yards,
And this whole time me closing on where

76
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:38.160
I thought the sound was coming from
ended up being about fifty minutes. So

77
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:44.120
you can see that I wasn't rushing
and bashing through trees and obscuring any sound.

78
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:49.680
I'm listening and I never got I'd
never heard that sound until I had

79
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:56.680
been stopped for minutes. And then
I would get a single sound and that

80
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:04.639
would keep me going and by the
time I had gotten the fourth knock,

81
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:11.040
and it once again disrepeated itself like
that whole pattern. I was now getting

82
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:16.240
down off the slope and into level
ground towards that grassy area. And now

83
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:24.399
you know, I'm probably fifty fifty
sixty yards out from this grassy area,

84
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:29.839
and at the end of it was
basically a wall of young trees of different

85
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:38.439
height. And as I got I
heard that last single fourth knock, it

86
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:44.160
really sounded to me like it was
coming from somewhere behind that screen of trees.

87
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.839
So, okay, well, it's
totally obscured for me. I mean,

88
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.800
what's behind there's obscured. So I'm
like, oka, right, well,

89
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:55.959
I guess I'm gonna have to go
right up to it and figure out

90
00:07:55.959 --> 00:08:03.480
what this is somehow. So I'm
I'm level, I'm walking, and to

91
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:11.759
my right there's this little I describe
it as a long halfpipe in the ground.

92
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:16.000
It's just it if it was runoff. Boy, it cut a nice

93
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:22.759
smooth little gulch there. But I
knew that in order to get into this

94
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.079
clearing, I'd have to cross that. And once I crossed that, all

95
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:30.600
the trees that I thought I was
using as cover there was intermittent trees that

96
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:37.200
I was trying to move behind a
little bit because my thinking is, oh,

97
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:39.320
I'm gonna sneak up on some animal
doing something weird, so let's be

98
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:46.080
quiet and see what it's doing and
how it's making that sound. And so

99
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:52.600
I'm getting closer, and when I
reached the edge of that little dip in

100
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:58.440
the ground, I stop and go, Okay, once you cross this,

101
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:03.159
you are now in the clear and
you're out in the wide open, so

102
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:09.039
if something's back there, it can
possibly see you. So I'm I'm just

103
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.360
kind of like, okay, getting
ready. You know. I had my

104
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:18.159
rifle to my not up, but
it all low ready, so but stuck

105
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:24.679
in my shoulder, muzzle down towards
the ground, and I take a deep

106
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.159
breath. I'm like, all right, here we go. And right as

107
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:33.080
I'm about to do that comes I
can only describe it like a slow rate

108
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:39.320
of fire machine gun, but it's
the the deep wood knocks just boom is

109
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:46.600
fast, I mean, like a
machine gun, and but loud, deep,

110
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:50.000
not like a stick cracking against a
tree, but the same deep,

111
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:58.039
thick sounding knocks, but just like
rapid fire. And I just was like,

112
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:03.159
what the kids going on here,
and I'm like, okay, well,

113
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.759
and I remember saying this in my
head. I'm like, well,

114
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:13.759
it's definitely behind those trees, because
that's where that sound came from. And

115
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.480
so I'm like, all right,
oh boy. And now I'm getting a

116
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:22.080
little nervous because I'm like, I
can't see into those trees. So maybe

117
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:26.000
I should kind of skirt out into
this clearing and work my way around the

118
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:31.759
trees. Kind of went in a
imagine a capital J and I was below

119
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:37.159
the foot of the jay, and
the trees kind of arcd around, and

120
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:43.120
I thought, okay, I'll loop
around so and just keep some distance from

121
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.720
these trees in case some animal comes
barreling out at me. So take a

122
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:50.799
deep breath, get the rifle steady, you know, once to get knock

123
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:56.399
pointing it. You know those rules
of gun safety. I've been handling guns

124
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:00.320
since I was four. I didn't
have a target, I didn't know what

125
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:05.080
was back there. I'm not going
to point my firearm at anything. Take

126
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:09.960
a deep breath, and I step
out in the open. And it was

127
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:18.559
like I made it maybe two three
steps, and this thing. I tried

128
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:24.240
describing it to someone else. It
was like having a bomb go off right

129
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:31.159
in front of me. This thing. I don't I don't know what the

130
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.080
hell it was swinging, but it
must have been picked up a small tree,

131
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:43.360
and just the force and violence behind
this was just a kaboom. I

132
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:48.759
mean it just smashed into I don't
know, it floored me. I mean

133
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:54.039
I literally, if someone could have
caught me on video, I just stumbled

134
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.960
backwards, almost tripped and fell over. I've got all my gear on my

135
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:03.159
back, my rifle slung in,
and I just staggered back in shock.

136
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:18.039
And I look up and it well, you know, all I could see

137
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.960
was the chest up. Just wanted

time podcast no matter what, but
I need your help to get there.

161
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:18.720
I figured it out and we need
approximately seven hundred more people in the Patreon

162
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:24.759
in order to reach our goal of
going full time. Actually able to go

163
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:31.600

bigfoot activity, interview them face to face,

164
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:35.080

Her and I can get out of here,

173
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:10.679
we can tell our stories. Maybe
there's somebody else out there listening it's

174
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:14.759
too afraid to tell their story.
Maybe this will give them the courage to

175
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.279
come out. And now it feels
so bad about it. Who cares what

176
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:21.679
anybody's thinks. I know what I
saw, I know what's out there.

177
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:42.039
That's all I care. Please let
people know, Please let them know.

178
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:47.759
If you ever see one of these
things, you need to tell because if

179
00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:57.879
you don't, then shame on you, you know, shame on you.
