Join us on the Bigfoot Society podcast as host Jeremiah Byron interviews a hunter from Washington state about a recent, startling encounter deep in the woods. The episode details the hunter's incredible experience of sighting a creature resembling a monkey with feminine features while elk hunting in a remote, thickly wooded area between Abernathy and Germany Creek. The hunter, who has spent countless hours in the wilderness without any unusual sightings, is left shaken and rethinking his approach to outdoor adventures. The encounter, only hours old at the time of recording, is backed by photographic evidence, GPS data, and a detailed account of the circumstances leading up to the sighting.

with the show. The following interview was recorded on October tenth,

24
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:33.280
twenty twenty four. It's Josh, Hey, Josh, do you hey

25
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:35.439
this Jeremiah? Do you want to be referred to as

26
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:36.159
Josh during this?

27
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:37.680
Yeah?

28
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:43.040
Okay? Is it okay? If I'm recording right now? Absolutely perfect?

29
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:45.239
All right? Well dude, I mean, this is gonna be

30
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.840
a whole different thing because usually I put a nice

31
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:51.400
song and dance at the beginning, like hey, here we are.

32
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:56.239
But I'm just gonna say, well, dude, tell us what happened.

33
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.159
I mean, tell me what you told me in messenger,

34
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:00.120
just a that.

35
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.400
Yeah, yeah, so forgiving. I'm I'm a little rattled still.

36
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:11.719
I guess the thing to know about me is I hunt,

37
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:13.199
like pretty much all year.

38
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:14.479
Long, amount in the woods.

39
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:19.520
I've always been like a Bigfoot enthusiast, but I wanted

40
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.479
to believe, but I've never seen anything to give me

41
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:26.159
any kind of indication that this assquatch is real.

42
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:28.000
I mean, I listened to all your shows. I love

43
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:28.919
hearing the stories.

44
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:33.479
I've always been hopeful, but I've never never seen anything.

45
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:35.680
And for a guy who spends as many hours as

46
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:41.199
me in the woods hiking around, I just I haven't

47
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:47.120
seen anything, you know. So I've been el Cunning. I'm

48
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:53.000
muzzleloader el Cunning in Washington. Stay the season seven days long.

49
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:56.080
This is the sixth day of the season, so tomorrow

50
00:02:56.199 --> 00:03:00.879
is my last day. I've been averaging about twelve to

51
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:07.719
fourteen miles on foot behind warehouser locked gates, and today

52
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:10.400
I decided to go into an area I haven't been

53
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:15.199
in about four years, and I hiked in there and

54
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:19.280
it's pretty uneventful. I didn't see any elk all. The

55
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.879
ELK sign I seen was pretty old, and so I

56
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:24.800
just kind of sat in the clear cut where I

57
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:28.400
had cell phone service and kind of browse the Internet.

58
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:33.000
And about every five minutes I'd look up and I'd

59
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.000
start glassing. I glass for about fifteen minutes and I

60
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:39.319
kind of go back to my phone.

61
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:42.120
I really take a lot of time to pick apart

62
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:43.759
everything with my binoculars.

63
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:48.400
I have a Seroski twelve by fifty, pretty high end optics,

64
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:54.080
so I can see just about everything moving. And this

65
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:57.639
year I decided to buy a thermal, so I also

66
00:03:57.680 --> 00:03:59.560
have a thermal so I can kind of catch stuff,

67
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:03.360
and then I look at it through my binoes and

68
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.599
I seen a really nice buck walking down the road

69
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:09.639
on the other side of the clear cut, and I

70
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:11.479
wanted to get a better look at it, because you

71
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:13.680
don't really see a lot of nice bucks around here.

72
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:18.120
So the wind was blowing down, so.

73
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:19.959
I kind of snuck around to the edge of that

74
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.040
clear cut, and like I said, the wind was blowing

75
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.199
pretty strong, and I couldn't see the buck anymore. He

76
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.920
went into the timber, and I really wanted to get

77
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:30.879
a better look at him, so I pulled up my

78
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.319
thermal and I could see him in the timber, and

79
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:36.279
then I put my glass on him, and somewhere in

80
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:37.040
between there, I.

81
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:37.839
Lost sight of him.

82
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.319
So I decided, you know, the wind's really strong, He's

83
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.600
not gonna smell me if I creep in below him,

84
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.040
and so I sat there and kind of thought about it.

85
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:49.800
For a few minutes.

86
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:52.920
I wasn't really hopeful to see the outcome out, so

87
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:56.759
I snuck down into the timber and I started scanning

88
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.279
with my pheromone. I wasn't seeing anything, and then I

89
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.240
seen this faint kind of white spot about one hundred

90
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:07.319
yards away, but it's pretty thick timber, and I thought,

91
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:10.600
oh man, that's that buck. So I pull up my

92
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:13.360
binos and I'm looking. I can't see it. And I

93
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:16.000
pull up my therm and I'm looking. I can see it,

94
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:18.240
and I'm making mental notes like okay, it's like the

95
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.839
third branch up next to this mound. And I'm kind

96
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:24.040
of doing the math in my head to find this thing.

97
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:31.079
And I pick up my thermal and I find it

98
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:36.120
again and pick and I'm really trying to break this

99
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:41.279
apart and grid it and see this buck. And then

100
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:47.040
I see something I never expected to see it. The

101
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:51.160
best way I can describe it is it's like a monkey.

102
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:57.600
Its face looked like a monkey, like if you watch like,

103
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:06.639
what is it like? I can't remember the name of

104
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:10.439
that that movie with the apes on it where they

105
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:14.560
like take over, That's what it looked like. Had a

106
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:21.120
really feminine face, really pronounced lips, had black and gray hair.

107
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:28.160
It was like grooming itself, I could see. I couldn't

108
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:31.720
tell if it was like grooming its hands or if

109
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:35.519
it was eating something, but that's all I seen was

110
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:37.639
its face, and I could see that it was real

111
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:39.480
interest in whatever it was doing.

112
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:42.360
It was putting something in his mouth.

113
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.199
I couldn't tell if it was its hand, like I said,

114
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:49.199
like it was grooming itself, or if it was eating something.

115
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:52.439
And I just thought, WHOA, I can't believe what I'm

116
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:57.040
looking at right now. And you know, I sat there

117
00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.879
for about three minutes washing it, and I said, you know,

118
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:01.120
I'm going to back out.

119
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.600
I do not want to sing to see me, and

120
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:05.399
so I just backed out of the timber.

121
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.120
And this road is a road I had to walk

122
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:09.959
down to get to the trail to hike out to

123
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:10.519
my truck.

124
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:13.639
So I walked all the way around.

125
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.439
And snuck out and made sure I stayed down, went

126
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.839
and snuck through the timber to get I probably went

127
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:21.439
a half mile out of my way to get to

128
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:25.079
the trail and then hike back and had another mile

129
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:27.920
and a half to the dugout road in the gate

130
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:30.720
where my pickup was. And when I got back to

131
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:33.839
my pickup, I was completely covered and sweat and shaking

132
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:35.920
and sick to my stomach.

133
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:40.079
And I've never had anything like that happened to me.

134
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:42.680
But on my way out, I found a tree in

135
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:46.560
the trail that was snapped in half, probably about a

136
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:50.639
six inch round alder tree, and when I was cutting

137
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:53.839
through that clear cut, I found a track that was

138
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.920
way bigger than my foot and I worse. I was fourteen,

139
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.240
and I took a photograph of the track end of

140
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:05.040
the tree, and I also have my GPS coordinates that

141
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:11.000
shows my trail that I made tonight when I went

142
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:16.839
on my hunt. So that's that's about all I got.

143
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:20.160
I'm still pretty in shock, you know.

144
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:23.759
After that, I left the woods, which is.

145
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:26.480
Unlike me, and I called my best friend and I

146
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:29.439
told them what happened, and we're bolchous in disbelief on

147
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:32.320
the phone because I don't ever leave the woods until

148
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:35.039
it's dark, and especially it was one more day in

149
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:38.720
my elk season. Left you know, about five six o'clocks

150
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:41.120
when they start feeding out, and I laughed at about

151
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:42.919
four point thirty. Made it back to my truck at

152
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:47.399
about five fifteen. So I mean, it was pretty serious

153
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:51.600
for me to want to leave. And I don't think

154
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:57.759
I'll ever go back in that spot again. Yeah, that's

155
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:04.240
that's I don't know, Like it wasn't and it wasn't

156
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:07.799
something I ever thought would happen, and I never in

157
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.159
my wireless imagination.

158
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:10.759
Thought it would happen like that.

159
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:14.639
If it did happen, you know, it just makes me

160
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:18.240
wonder how many times I've been, you know, miles back

161
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:21.159
in the back country and walked right by something.

162
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:28.639
You know, I want to make sure that listeners get

163
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:36.120
that this just happened hours ago today. Yeah, roughly how

164
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:37.440
many hours ago.

165
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:42.919
It happened around four four twenty somewhere right around there,

166
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:48.120
and it's seven twenty right now, three hours so just

167
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.519
just just a few hours ago this happened.

168
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:54.200
Oh my goodness.

169
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:59.559
And you know, it's one of those things.

170
00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:01.759
You know, every time I talk to somebody who's out

171
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:03.200
in the woods, you know, I ask them if they've

172
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:06.120
ever seen anything weird and stuff. You know, the general

173
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:08.919
consensus with the outdoorsman that I hang out with and

174
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:12.200
with that we none of us have really ever seen anything.

175
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:17.840
And you know, I think that this thermal energy imaging

176
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:22.080
unit that I have is gonna really make me see

177
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:26.960
a lot of stuff that I never seen before. And

178
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:30.559
it really makes me wonder what I've walked by and

179
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:35.039
you know what I haven't seen, because like I said,

180
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:37.159
I usually walk in in the dark with a headlamp,

181
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.320
and that's how I walk out it's in the dark

182
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:40.080
with a headlamp.

183
00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:41.919
When I'm out there.

184
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:47.879
I know you've shared. You shared with me a little

185
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:53.519
bit location wise. Is that Are you comfortable with sharing

186
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:57.600
location wise the area or we keeping that? Okay?

187
00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:01.120
So I I live in Washington.

188
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:07.840
I hut on the coast everywhere from about Kathlamett down

189
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.679
to Chinook, Washington. There's tons of timber company gates, and

190
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:14.639
I usually hike back up into the coastal mountain ranges.

191
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:20.879
This particular location was in between Abernathy and Germany Creek,

192
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:22.320
and like I.

193
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:29.879
Said, I took a cut off to get me in closer.

194
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:31.720
It's kind of the end of a spur road that

195
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:35.440
they dug out when they when they abandoned the road

196
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:40.320
to let the timber grow. And so I came in

197
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:44.000
one area to get me closer.

198
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:44.759
To another area.

199
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.039
I kind of just took the abandoned road to get

200
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:49.440
closer to Germany Creek.

201
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:51.399
And so that way I didn't.

202
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:53.919
Have to walk like six miles up the logging roads

203
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:55.799
to get to the clearcuts I wanted to get to.

204
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:59.679
Instead, I only had to walk like, you know, three miles.

205
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:02.360
So it put me in a pretty good advantage to

206
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:05.480
get back there because the pressure is really tough right now,

207
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:08.480
and there's a lot of people hunting, so I wanted

208
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:10.399
to get as far ahead as everybody.

209
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:12.279
Else I could get and get away from people.

210
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:18.679
And that's kind of what I was wondering, you know,

211
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:22.159
I don't I don't know if it's because it's so

212
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:24.960
far back in there. You know, I'm not a lot

213
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:26.879
of people go in there, so I'm kind of thinking

214
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:29.679
that that's kind of why it was so comfortable. I

215
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:33.399
don't think that they had any idea that I was there, sure,

216
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:38.159
because I was keyed up. I'm in you know, full

217
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:43.840
solid camouflage though olive drab clothing. I'm playing the wind

218
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:45.360
and I'm not walking down.

219
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:46.120
The gravel or anything.

220
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:49.120
I'm watching every step I take and moving very slow,

221
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:54.120
you know, because I'm trying to sneak up on elk

222
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.200
and everything else. So I don't think i'd ever seen me,

223
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.759
and I wasn't scared in the moment, But as soon

224
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:04.200
as I backed out and I crept up the road

225
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.600
and dove into the clear cut and started getting out

226
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:11.320
of there, I started getting weirded out. I started feeling

227
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.480
sick to my stomach. I was like, what if this

228
00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:16.600
What if this thing knows that I've seen it, or

229
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:18.720
what if there's other ones that seen me that I

230
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:23.000
didn't see, you know, and now they're on to me

231
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.879
and you know, going to follow me out. I felt

232
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:29.440
like I was followed out, but I didn't see anything

233
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:31.000
or hear anything out of the normal.

234
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:35.799
Did you experience any other weird physical effects during that

235
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:38.519
same time where you're feeling sick to your stomach things

236
00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:39.000
like that.

237
00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:45.639
Uh, nothing other than heavy sweat, And I wasn't tired.

238
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:49.799
Today's one of those days. I didn't hike necessarily.

239
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:52.120
That far, and towards the end of the season, you know,

240
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:54.720
I'm I'm in pretty good shape. I hike a lot,

241
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:59.600
especially with a heavy pack on. So it was pretty strange.

242
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:01.480
To me that I was profusely sweating.

243
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:05.720
But I just kind of chalk that up to like

244
00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:10.399
just being kind of nervous and not really knowing what

245
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:11.159
to think, and.

246
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:15.120
I think that played into it a lot.

247
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:19.320
But I was definitely very cognitive about everything I was

248
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:23.519
doing to get out of there, and taking mental note

249
00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:26.080
on which parts of the trayal I could be you know,

250
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:29.799
ambushed on, or you know, what could happen.

251
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:32.639
You know, there's a.

252
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:34.840
Lot going through my head on that thirty five to

253
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:36.039
forty five minutes.

254
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:40.039
Hike out, and I was moving.

255
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:46.360
Fast, like I said, my on ex, my my GPS data.

256
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:48.799
I'll send you. I'll send you the snapshot of it.

257
00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:51.639
And it will not only show you the loop that

258
00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:55.080
I took, it will show you how I picked up

259
00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:56.279
my speed on the way out.

260
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:58.000
Oh yeah, it kind of.

261
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:00.759
It kind of tells the story a little bit better too.

262
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:04.039
It kind of adds context. You can kind of see

263
00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:05.679
what I did, you know. It shows that I went

264
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:07.480
around a mile and then I sat there for a

265
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:10.799
few hours. Then it shows you when I went over

266
00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:13.159
to the other side and crossing to the timber, and

267
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:14.399
then all of a sudden, I just got out of

268
00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:15.000
there really quick.

269
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:19.039
Yeah, that would be incredible. I mean, I use on

270
00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:21.480
X for this show all the time just because it's

271
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:24.080
such a great I mean, they're not a sponsor, but guys,

272
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:27.000
if you're listening, yeah, let's party. I mean it's such

273
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:30.240
an And one of the icons you can use in

274
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:32.240
on X is a bigfoot icon.

275
00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:36.279
Dude, you know they're to buy told me I had

276
00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:39.039
no idea, and when I was telling my buddy and

277
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:40.600
the story and I sent him the icon.

278
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:44.200
He said, how could you didn't use the Sasquatch icon.

279
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:47.559
I was like, what, I had no idea that they

280
00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:48.120
had one.

281
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:52.279
But, like I said, when I was creeping through that

282
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:55.000
clearcut to get out of there, because I was trying

283
00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:56.919
to make sure I stayed out of site, off the

284
00:15:57.039 --> 00:15:57.440
road and.

285
00:15:57.440 --> 00:15:59.679
Out of I didn't want this thing to see me.

286
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:01.399
I happened on.

287
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:05.679
That that foot track, and I got a picture of

288
00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:08.159
it next to my size fourteen, and I mean, you

289
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:12.559
can see it just plain as day. And I've never

290
00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:17.240
found a footprint. And I'd like to think I'm usually

291
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:20.159
always looking, because that's how I get to know the

292
00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:22.399
elk in the deer. You know, I'm always looking for

293
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:25.080
rubs and I'm always looking for tracks.

294
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:30.399
Above everything else. I'm an outdoorsman and a woodsman, and.

295
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:35.440
You know, everything that happened to me tonight has definitely

296
00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:37.360
changed the way I think about everything.

297
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:40.080
And it's changed the way I'm going to be moving

298
00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:40.720
through the woods.

299
00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:44.360
And I mean, I don't know if you're super familiar

300
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:46.960
with the muzzleoder, but it's not the most effective weapon.

301
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:51.720
No, it's not, I know what you're talking about. Yeah,

302
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:52.679
but it is.

303
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:57.440
Not, and I only had I only had two reloads

304
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:01.000
with me. And for the people listening, you don't understand

305
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:01.759
a muzzloader.

306
00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:04.079
You shoot it. It's a primitive weapon.

307
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:06.640
And then you got to, you know, pour your powder in,

308
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:09.440
and you got to put your your project island, and

309
00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:11.160
then you got to put your primer. And it takes

310
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:16.920
time to load, especially under pressure. And normally I carry

311
00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:19.200
a keen milimeter pistol when I'm with me out in

312
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:22.880
the woods hunting, and you know, it's just I'm tired.

313
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.039
I've been trying to cut down on weight because I've

314
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:28.799
just been out hammering in the mountains. So today I

315
00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:30.559
just decided, you know what, I'm not even going to

316
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.000
pack a pistol. I never need one. I'm just gonna

317
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:35.759
take my muzzleloader and a couple of reloads and we're

318
00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:36.880
just gonna go find an elk.

319
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.279
And I felt completely unprepared.

320
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:45.720
For what I experienced today, and it's going to change

321
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:49.960
the way I recreate in the outdoors. You know, I'm

322
00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:52.559
I don't know if they want to hurt people or

323
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:54.920
if they want to intimidate people, but I don't want

324
00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:56.920
to find out, you know.

325
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.640
So a few things I want you to reach out

326
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:09.720
over the next few days if just if anything out

327
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:14.440
of the ordinary like happens and I'm not gonna I'm

328
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:17.319
just gonna leave it at that. I mean, I would

329
00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:24.480
just be curious. Uh right now, do you have Are

330
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:27.319
you okay with with going into the woods again or

331
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:29.680
is it just like that area? Probably not going to

332
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:30.440
go there again.

333
00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:33.920
I'm telling you, man, I spend all year thinking about

334
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.960
this time of the year. It's it's my passion everything,

335
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:41.240
it's it's my entire life, besides being a father. It's

336
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:44.759
it's everything I think about. I have tomorrow left for

337
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:46.839
my tag. I'm going out in the woods. I'm gonna

338
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:48.759
wake up at three am. I'm gonna get out.

339
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:52.559
There, and I'm hiking somewhere. But I am nervous, and

340
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:53.640
I am not going.

341
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:58.319
Back to that spot right not not without a few

342
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:02.519
buddies with me and some serious firepower. And you know,

343
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:04.960
I might go out there and try to try to

344
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:07.400
go I know exactly where it was sitting, at, where

345
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:09.559
it was standing at, where that area is, and I

346
00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:11.680
would really like to get in there and kind.

347
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:13.279
Of tear apart the topography and.

348
00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:17.880
Kind of get some better understanding and ideas. But at

349
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:19.839
this point right now, I'm not ready to do that.

350
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:25.039
I totally get it. I mean it's you. You're a hunter,

351
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:30.799
you're not a researcher, so yeah, it totally makes sense.

352
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:35.000
But you have the exact area, so maybe at a

353
00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:37.960
later time, you know, you might be able to go

354
00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:39.759
back in there if you had some buddies with you.

355
00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:42.880
And but I get it.

356
00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:46.319
Wow, I just I wouldn't want to go in there

357
00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:54.240
by myself. No, you know, the places that I go into, Jeremiah,

358
00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:57.440
something could happen to you and they might not find

359
00:19:57.440 --> 00:19:59.599
you for a long time or not at all.

360
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:04.000
I mean thick, overgrown, old growth timber.

361
00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:08.240
With massive, you know, holes in the ground and riot

362
00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:12.119
wads out and cricks and you know, it's it's a

363
00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:18.960
rough country. And I just I can't believe that, after

364
00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:21.319
all these years, it took till today to see.

365
00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:25.279
Something when I least expected to see anything.

366
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:34.079
On an otherwise very uneventful day. And you know, I've

367
00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:36.920
probably called four or five of my buddies. And the

368
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:40.039
first thing that I said, I said, Hey, I'm not crazy,

369
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:42.359
and don't repeat this, but I need to tell you

370
00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:43.200
what happened.

371
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:47.319
To me tonight, right right, And.

372
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:50.960
You know when you spend a lot of time out

373
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:54.799
in the woods, Jeremiah, Like, sometimes you spend you know,

374
00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:58.440
ten hours out in the woods with your buddies, picking

375
00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:02.160
apart every tree and bush and branch, looking through binoculars,

376
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:05.359
and you sit there and you talk. You talk about

377
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:08.720
all your hunting stories and all the weird things you

378
00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:12.680
have or haven't seen. None of us that, none of

379
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:14.759
the people I know or talk to or hunt with,

380
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:15.799
none of us have ever seen.

381
00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:18.720
Like I was just doing a basic search real quick

382
00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:26.279
for people that have anyone sasquatch near German Creek and

383
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:29.880
something Creek something does come up, but it's it's just

384
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:33.880
from a news article. Okay, a guy named Paul Graves.

385
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:37.240
He's gotten like hundreds of reports. That's cool because it

386
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:39.279
does tell us that you're not the only one that

387
00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:45.119
has seen the sasquatch near this area of Longview, and

388
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:49.240
it kind of puts even a little more to your report.

389
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:53.359
So to put this into respector into perspective for.

390
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:58.000
You, Longview is a couple miles from Rainier, Oregon.

391
00:21:58.400 --> 00:21:58.680
Yep.

392
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:02.960
Kind of mentioned I think I sent you a Facebook

393
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:06.000
mastic or something you had that one gentleman on who

394
00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:10.559
had stories from Rainier organ Yes, we're just a bridge away.

395
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:14.599
I mean literally you can see Rainier from longview. Okay,

396
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:18.000
so that's kind of how I found your show was

397
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:23.039
the Rainier episodes. You know that that gentleman who lived

398
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:25.960
in Rainier and had some experience as a child or whatever.

399
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:31.880
So, I mean it's wild to think about because perhaps

400
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:36.599
the one that you saw it might even be related

401
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:39.839
to the ones in that story somehow. You have no idea, right, but.

402
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:41.680
No no clue.

403
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:44.759
Yeah, man, it's wild.

404
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:51.279
And nobody talks about it openly. Anything that you hear

405
00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:54.240
just kind of old, you know, logger tails and stuff.

406
00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:58.200
There's like a stigma behind it almost.

407
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:09.400
So so you are going to forward some or send

408
00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:11.000
some stuff over to me.

409
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:13.200
Where can I send it to you?

410
00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:16.559
I mean you My email is Bigfoot Society at gmail

411
00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:20.559
dot com. If an email is easier for you, okay,

412
00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:21.559
I was gonna.

413
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:23.359
I can send you an on x pin with my

414
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:26.599
loop and on expin of where it was, and that

415
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:29.440
way you have an exact understanding of where it happened

416
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:31.759
and you kind of see my my trail.

417
00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:34.400
Yes, and then like I said, I really want you

418
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:35.440
to see the photograph.

419
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:39.839
The photographs could be nothing, but on my way out,

420
00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:42.160
I've seen that stuff and I'm like, hey, this, this

421
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:43.640
is it, this is this.

422
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:46.079
Isn't a coincidence. I don't believe in coincidences.

423
00:23:46.519 --> 00:23:48.000
And you know, by the time I made it to

424
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:49.839
my pickup and got down the road, I was like,

425
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:52.079
I know exactly who I need to reach out to you.

426
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:58.720
Right exactly exactly. Yeah. I don't know if you can

427
00:23:58.759 --> 00:24:01.839
send the on next stuff through email. I've never tried

428
00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:05.279
to do that before, but I don't know if you

429
00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:10.079
have you have more knowledge about that, but.

430
00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:13.759
I've never I've sent it to these texts. I've never

431
00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:15.440
sent it on an email, but I can try.

432
00:24:16.119 --> 00:24:18.039
Oh you can text it then. Yeah, you have my

433
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:27.240
number right now. Yeah that's perfect. Yep, that'll work.

434
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:30.680
But like I said, that's that's all I got for you, buddy.

435
00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:33.640
I'm glad to get to talk to you. I never

436
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:37.400
thought I would have any reason to call here, but yeah,

437
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:38.680
we are, man.

438
00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:42.079

Okay, good, Yeah, I just gotta chill out a bit

443

00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:05.119
