Season 1

What happens when a solo hunter ventures deep into Idaho’s Cuddy Mountain wilderness — and hears something that rattles his ribs from the inside out? In this adrenaline-fueled episode, we sit down with Micah, a bowhunter and lifelong outdoorsman, who shares a harrowing encounter that left him frozen in fear and racing back to civilization. From eerily silent forests to matching footsteps in the brush, and a deafening huff that vibrated his bones, Micah’s story might just change how you look at the backcountry. We also explore Idaho’s violent Bigfoot hotspots, the shadow of a wolf-like creature larger than any canine has a right to be, and what it means when you're not alone out there. You’ll hear references to Council, Cascade, Warm Lake, and the infamous Frank Church Wilderness. Is something ancient and territorial stalking Idaho’s forgotten trails? Strap in — this one gets loud.

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.240
You're listening in Bigfoot Society and I'm Jeremiah Byron Tonight's

2
00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:06.480
story is from a solo hunter that went looking for

3
00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:11.800
elk in Idaho and found something else instead, footsteps and

4
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:14.439
sync with his own and a chest rattling huff that

5
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.679
echoed through the trees. This is the story of what

6
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:21.760
Micah experienced on Cuddy Mountain. So stay with us all right,

7
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:24.679
Bigfoot Society, But the privilege of talking to Micah today.

8
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:27.719
Mike is an individual that reached out to me after

9
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:34.840
listening to episode seven six nine specifically, which is the

10
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:40.159
Idaho Bear Hunt turns into Bigfoot Encounter, and Micah is

11
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:43.719
an individual from out there in Idaho had had an

12
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:47.759
interesting thing happen and here's here to share that today.

13
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:49.320
How are you doing, Micah? Welcome to the show.

14
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:53.280
Hey, Jeremiah, I'm doing well. Thanks for having me.

15
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:57.359
Absolutely. You know, we were talking a little bit before

16
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.640
the show. This is definitely going to be a fun one.

17
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:04.760
Some really interesting things talked about. I think this is

18
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.359
in maybe a I don't believe the show has gone

19
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.400
to this area yet, so maybe a new area in Idaho.

20
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:13.599
But you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead and

21
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.239
passings over to Mica. Make sure that you've got the

22
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:20.719
time to share what you need to today, So feel

23
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:25.879
free to take us back to when this experience happened

24
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:27.239
to you out there in Idaho.

25
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:31.959
Yeah, for sure. So I agree with you.

26
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.760
I've not heard many stories out of this area, and

27
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:37.719
even like looking at the big Foot mapping project, I

28
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.079
did that about six months ago, and I don't there's

29
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.879
not a ton of sightings in this area. For reference

30
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:48.280
to the area is just outside of Council, Idaho.

31
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:51.079
It's a teeny tiny little speck on the map.

32
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:53.920
It's like a seven hundred population town.

33
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:59.599
Tiny tiny town. But it took place.

34
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:02.959
Kind of like I was saying earlier, near Cuddy Mountain

35
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.799
in summer's peak, and I was on a on a

36
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:06.480
game trail.

37
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.520
But I so I was getting into archery hunting.

38
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.280
I'd gotten into it a few years prior and gone

39
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.080
on a few hunts, and I had been looking at

40
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:18.840
a map at work. I worked at a sporting goods

41
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:23.039
store here in the valley, and for reference, I'm in

42
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:27.680
the Boise area near the capital city, and I had

43
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:31.800
found a spot. I I didn't know much about elk hunting,

44
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.759
and I just knew to find the deepest, darkest, nastiest

45
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:39.319
looking ravine up on the mountain that I could find,

46
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.879
and found one, and so I planned a couple of

47
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.439
days scouting trip or a gay scouting trip. It was

48
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:49.439
just one day and I went up there and it

49
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:52.240
was just me, not a great idea sometimes as a

50
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:52.680
new hunter.

51
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:57.639
But I went up there, I found Elk. I knew

52
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:01.680
how to get to him, so.

53
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.240
I went back up. It was either the next week

54
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:09.280
or two weeks later, and this was in I think

55
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:15.120
the second week of September in twenty nineteen. I don't

56
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:18.080
know exact dates, but I had intentionally taken time off

57
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.360
work in the middle of the week because there's a

58
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:22.759
bunch of dirt bike trails in that area and I

59
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.280
wanted to try to be up there when people weren't

60
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:26.639
ripping around on dirt.

61
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:30.919
Bikes and moving everything around. So I had seen Elk

62
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:31.639
the week before.

63
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:33.680
I knew how to get to where I could see him.

64
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.919
I had a basic idea of where I wanted to be,

65
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.400
so you know, told my girlfriend at the time, Hey,

66
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:44.000
this is where I'm going to be. Told my family,

67
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:46.319
He told my brother in law basically, if I'm not

68
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:47.960
back in three days. This is where I'm going to be,

69
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:49.879
this is where I'm going to be scouting from, just

70
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.560
so I covered my basis if if people needed to

71
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:56.400
come looking for me anyway. And I had planned to

72
00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:00.080
be gone originally for four days. I think I I

73
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:02.719
left on Tuesday and was going to come back on Friday.

74
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:12.080
So got all the gear together, went up there. I

75
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:16.000
got up there right before they light hiked to my spot,

76
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:18.000
and I was in my spot as the sun was

77
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:23.160
coming up, and I did not see another living creature.

78
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:28.000
There was no squirrels, no birds, no deer, no elk.

79
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:31.240
I'd seen bear sign when I was in there scouting,

80
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:37.519
no bear sign, nothing. It's like everything just disappeared. And

81
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:40.920
I didn't know at the time. I didn't know any better.

82
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.000
I didn't know that when it gets deathly quiet, it

83
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.079
means there's something fishy going on, because again I'm a

84
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:46.800
brand I'm basically a brand new hunter.

85
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:51.839
And so I kind of hiked.

86
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:54.199
Around and looked at a couple looked for a couple

87
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:57.439
of different spots, and like I said, I didn't see anything.

88
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.519
So eventually hike around all day and I'm walking out

89
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:07.879
and I just have kind of have my bow in

90
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:14.000
my hand, and it is I would say deathly quiet,

91
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:19.759
but that doesn't describe it. Other than the sound of

92
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.439
my footsteps on the game trail, there is absolutely nothing,

93
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:29.959
and so I'm just kind of walking and thinking about

94
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:34.000
where I'm going to go, and then down off to

95
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:40.319
my left side, I realize that there's another set of

96
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:46.560
footsteps that's like close to matching me, Like it's off

97
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:52.920
by just a little bit, but it's matching my steps.

98
00:05:54.199 --> 00:06:02.199
And my first thought is I'm being stalked. And I

99
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:04.879
don't know if this is a mountain lion. I don't

100
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:11.000
know if this is a bear, but either way, and

101
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:16.680
by myself, I am about a mile from my car.

102
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:20.240
I'm in the middle of the woods and something stalking me.

103
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:25.399
And I was already scared because the guy that kind

104
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:29.040
of mentored me in archery hunting for a little while

105
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:32.519
had hunted this area and had been stocked by a

106
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:36.439
mountain lion, so I know that this is a possibility.

107
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:38.000
So I stop and.

108
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.600
I'm kind of listening and there's no noise, it's not moving,

109
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:48.360
so I keep walking. Oh I'm sorry, my heart rates

110
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:55.560
going a little bit, so I keep walking and it

111
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:57.040
starts matching my steps.

112
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.480
Again, and it's it's almost like an echo.

113
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.839
Like every time I boo, it comes down. It's just

114
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:08.680
a little bit off, off off pace of me. So

115
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:14.160
I stop again, and it stops again. And at this point,

116
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:16.639
I'm like, I am in trouble. Something is stalking me.

117
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:25.240
I'm like, I'm very I'm very serious danger. And so

118
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.079
I take about three steps and then I do a

119
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:31.240
short step and I catch it taking an extra step,

120
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:37.920
and I'm like, I said, I'm archery hunting. But I

121
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:42.240
had a pistol, just a nine millimeter pistol, more for

122
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:53.079
sense of security than anything, and so I know it's

123
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:57.360
not going to do a whole lot against uh, against

124
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:06.399
a bear or anything like that. But at this point

125
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:13.000
I decide to turn and draw my pistol, and when

126
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:20.279
I do, there is the loudest, most explosive.

127
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:25.240
Just that I have ever heard in my.

128
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:35.720
Life, and it rattled my ribs like the base at

129
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:36.360
a concert.

130
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:39.759
And the only thing I could have created too at

131
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:45.919
the time is bear. So I've turned, I've drawn my pistol.

132
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:49.600
I dropped my bow, which isn't a good thing. But

133
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:51.679
I turn and I've drawn my pistol, and I'm kind.

134
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:52.799
Of like leaning.

135
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:56.960
To the left and the right, just trying to see

136
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:03.879
what's there, and the trees are so thick I can't seeing, and.

137
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.039
All at once there is.

138
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:12.519
It sounds like you let a bulldozer loose down the

139
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:19.879
side of the mountain. Just a huge commotion. Branches are breaking,

140
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:25.200
thundering noises, which now I'm assuming or footsteps.

141
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:27.879
Just boom boom, boom, boom boom.

142
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:29.480
Down the side of the mountain, away from me. And

143
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:34.639
I don't know how far it went, but I was

144
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:37.440
so scared at this point, I don't I can't even

145
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:38.039
describe it.

146
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:39.039
I'm horrified.

147
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:45.080
So I stay there for it felt like an hour,

148
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:49.679
but it was probably probably a minute and a half

149
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:53.360
two minutes just standing there pistol ready, I'm shaking so hard.

150
00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:56.440
I wouldn't hit anything even if I had shot. But

151
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:59.600
I didn't ever actually see anything. That's the hardest part

152
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:04.399
about this whole thing. And eventually I pick up my

153
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:07.039
bow and I had a hook on my backpack, so

154
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.799
I put my bow on the hook and I didn't

155
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:12.240
put my pistol over away the rest of the walk

156
00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:15.720
out and Matt was I think that was probably the

157
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.519
fastest mile I've ever walked without running in my life

158
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:19.639
back to my car.

159
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:24.600
And I went home. I left, and I got.

160
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:27.519
Back down to my girlfriend's apartment in the valley, and

161
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:30.440
of course I'm supposed to be gone for like another

162
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:35.360
three days, and she goes, why what happened? Why are

163
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:38.200
you back already? And I said, I just don't want

164
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:39.440
to be up there anymore. I don't want to hunt

165
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:46.519
up there anymore. Didn't tell anybody for probably seven years.

166
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:48.840
I didn't.

167
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.399
I don't think I told anybody now. I'm not seven

168
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:55.360
years I was in twenty eighteen. I think I told

169
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:58.559
that story for the first time in late twenty twenty

170
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:04.639
three out five years later, because I mean I watched

171
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:08.279
Monsterquest growing up. You know, I was the kid that

172
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:13.519
loved Monster Quest, loved the Bigfoot shows, even finding Bigfoot.

173
00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:17.879
Anything I could get my hands on that was Bigfoot

174
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:20.759
and monster stories, I would listen to that.

175
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:21.440
And then.

176
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:27.399
In November of twenty twenty three, I started working for

177
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:32.279
an Amazon delivery contractor and found podcasts, which are great

178
00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:33.679
when you're driving around all day.

179
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:37.200
And I found another show.

180
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:44.360
And there was a hunter who described almost word for

181
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:49.960
word my situation, walking out, being paced or paralleled or

182
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:53.080
whatever you want, escorted whatever the term you want to

183
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:56.120
use for what they were doing.

184
00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:00.759
It was doing except for this guy.

185
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:04.840
After the whatever it was huffed at him, a different

186
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:06.759
one stepped out on the trail in front of him,

187
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:11.440
and I was in the middle of somebody's path delivering

188
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:14.559
a package, and I just froze because I was like,

189
00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:17.879
this is the only thing I've ever heard that describes

190
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:22.720
what happened to me. And again, I never saw anything,

191
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:26.080
so I can't say that's what it was all, but

192
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:31.519
I've never heard anything that ever equated to what happened

193
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:38.480
to me. So that's pretty much the story. I know

194
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.639
it's not the most riveting story ever, but man, I

195
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:42.240
was scared.

196
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:45.639
I was. I was terrified.

197
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.519
It is really interesting, though, because as you're talking, I'm

198
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:56.440
also thinking how many stories that come from hunters like

199
00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:00.000
this in Idaho that I've talked that just my podcast

200
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:01.720
has talked to you over the years, and I know

201
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:06.240
there's many other podcasts many other Idaho stories as well.

202
00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:10.039
But it's very very interesting a pattern that seems, you know,

203
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:15.759
there's a lot of hunters having interesting things happened to them.

204
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:19.480
And you had said that what you heard it was

205
00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:20.120
like a huff.

206
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:27.080
Yeah, it was I can't imitate it, but like I did,

207
00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:31.519
that big just oh kind of noise, and man, it

208
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:36.679
shook my ribs. It felt like because I work at

209
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:40.279
a concert venue also, and I've been I'm a bartender,

210
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:42.519
so I've been down working my bar and there's this

211
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:48.759
speaker fifty sixty feet away, and when that drummer hits

212
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.559
that bass drum and you can feel it in your chest.

213
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.559
That's the closest thing I can come to it. But man,

214
00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:58.080
it scared me so bad.

215
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.200
When you were up there, Did you happen to notice

216
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:10.759
anything else out of place, like any any trees that

217
00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:12.720
looked weird or anything like that.

218
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:17.240
No, but I wasn't looking because I didn't know. I

219
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:19.879
didn't know what I know now. I didn't know they

220
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:22.480
do tree structures. I didn't know they'll knock trees over.

221
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:25.360
I didn't know they do excess or the little teeky

222
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:27.720
whatever things you want to call them. I didn't know

223
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:28.960
anything about that.

224
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:30.480
Obviously.

225
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.720
Now, in hindsight, I wish i'd been looking, but at

226
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:36.480
the time I was clueless.

227
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:41.039
Have you been to that area since.

228
00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:45.759
No, I did not hunt there.

229
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:50.279
The next year, the girl I was dating we broke

230
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:53.600
up before hunting season the next year, and then life

231
00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:55.480
just kind of took me a different direction. And I

232
00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:57.879
have been back in the woods since, but it was

233
00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:03.200
a totally different area. And that area also burned I

234
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.039
think two years later, and I haven't been back there since.

235
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.559
Of the Cutty Mountain area, yeah.

236
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:14.799
Yeah, there's a big fire up there. But I don't

237
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:17.000
know that I would go back there again, and certainly

238
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:17.519
not alone.

239
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:24.679
Absolutely. I mean just the things you hear that come

240
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:30.039
out of Idaho, some crazy ones. I don't know if

241
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:34.840
I would go hunting out there myself either alone. You'd

242
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:37.240
definitely want to have a buddy with you. I mean,

243
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:43.000
besides Bigfoot, just having the massive predators. Besides that, I

244
00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:46.120
mean mountain lions.

245
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:49.720
Mountain lions. Yeah.

246
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:52.519
Yeah, there's all kinds of all kinds of goodies up

247
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.480
here that a hunter can run into.

248
00:15:57.639 --> 00:16:00.240
Just in case someone had not picked it up at

249
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:06.240
the beginning. It sounds like you have, you've looked into

250
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:09.919
this area after this, there's not been a ton of

251
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:13.759
sighting reports or encounters in this particular area.

252
00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:20.840
Yeah, not in this particular area. There are, ironically, So

253
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:24.080
I grew up in a little little tiny town that

254
00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:28.399
is just over the Mountain range from Council and it's

255
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:29.559
a town called Cascade.

256
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:32.360
It's in Valley County, and.

257
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.080
I remember when I was looking to see if there'd

258
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:41.919
been any other encounters over by Cutty Mountain, and there's

259
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:43.639
been a few in that county.

260
00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:47.279
It's called Ada County, Ada, and.

261
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:51.600
There's a few other encounters in Ada County, but the

262
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.879
county I grew up in, Valley County has it was

263
00:16:54.919 --> 00:17:00.039
either the most of the second most sightings on that website,

264
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:04.519
and some of them were within fifteen twenty miles of

265
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:10.599
where I grew up. There's sidings at warm Lake, which

266
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:14.200
was about thirty thirty five minutes away driving.

267
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:16.480
There were sidings at Tamarack Resort.

268
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:19.599
It's a really famous ski resort that's only about twenty

269
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:20.680
minutes from where I grew up.

270
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:23.599
But I didn't know that at the time. I didn't

271
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:24.720
know this until about a year ago.

272
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:26.920
But there's been a bunch of sidings in that area,

273
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:30.599
which makes sense it's in a huge national forest area.

274
00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:39.799
But that was a really intriguing thing to find that.

275
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:44.920
That is very interesting you mentioned so thinking about things

276
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:48.440
that you said, one way that this has affected you

277
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:51.519
is you didn't go back hunting in the woods for

278
00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:53.440
a while, which is totally understandable that.

279
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:58.400
Not in that area I did go. I think I went.

280
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:02.920
I think I went either the next year, two years later,

281
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:05.920
but it was in a completely different area. It was

282
00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:09.319
like five hours drive time away from where I was at.

283
00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:15.039
Gotcha. Now, you know some people will will report that

284
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:19.880
after they have some kind of an encounter like this,

285
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:26.519
they'll have other weird things happen afterwards. Is that the

286
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:28.319
case with your story as well?

287
00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:34.599
No, No, I haven't had anything else weird happen because

288
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:36.759
I live in one of the more populated areas of

289
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:40.319
the state, so I mean it's it's one of the

290
00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:44.559
bigger cities in the state. So unless Bigfoot's roaming the

291
00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:46.039
streets of downtown Boise.

292
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:50.000
I haven't. I haven't. I haven't seen anything else.

293
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:52.920
Weird, I guess. I mean, I guess you never know.

294
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:57.440
Watch watch that you'll get an email after this. Well, actually, yeah,

295
00:18:57.680 --> 00:18:58.839
it's it's weird.

296
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:00.440
Now.

297
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:04.160
I guess. The other thing is is sometimes individuals will

298
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:10.799
have experienced things in their life prior to their Bigfoot encounters.

299
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:13.519
That the case with you at all.

300
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:25.720
There is one other weird experience that I had, and

301
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.880
it wasn't a bigfoot. Okay, I don't rightly know what

302
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:35.039
it was, but it was spring of my senior year

303
00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:38.920
of high school. This was April of twenty fifteen, March

304
00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:42.079
or April, I don't know. But I went to a

305
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:45.039
school in the town called Nampa, which is only about

306
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:48.039
twenty minutes from where I live now, and I'd met

307
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:51.119
a guy who grew up in Valley County also, and

308
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:54.759
he knew a sheep herder up in McCall and so

309
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:57.960
we would go and shoot kyotes every weekend for the

310
00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:01.240
ranchers out here, a fun way to make some money

311
00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:05.079
for a couple of small fown kids. But since we

312
00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:08.200
were seniors, there was one weekend that we were not.

313
00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:10.680
Neither of us had a sporting event and we had

314
00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:13.680
all our homework and tests done, so we got permission

315
00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:17.839
to skip school on Friday and go up to McCall

316
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:22.319
and go wolf hunting for a weekend. And we were like, heck, yeah,

317
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:26.359
we're out. So we packed the jeep. My buddy had

318
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:28.680
a two door jeep that we called the war wagon

319
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:30.680
because he had big tires on it, and that thing went.

320
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:32.559
We had no business taking that thing. Some of the

321
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:36.920
places we did but we went up and we were

322
00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:43.799
kind of in between McCall and Brundy's Mountain Ski Resort,

323
00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:47.720
which is only about five miles outside of town. We

324
00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:49.680
were kind of up in the mountains between McCall and

325
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:55.240
Brundage looking because there was a sheep herder that he

326
00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:59.480
had lost three guard dogs, three big livestock dogs.

327
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:04.240
It was I can't remember if it was two Great.

328
00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:07.680
Pyrenees and an Anatolian shepherd or two Anatolian shepherds and

329
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:11.359
a Great Pyrenees, but like big livestock dogs that can

330
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:15.599
defend livestock from any predators in the area, and he

331
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:20.319
had lost three of his dogs in one night to

332
00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:23.960
what he said was a single black wolf, a huge

333
00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:30.960
black wolf. And I think in twenty twelve they reintroduced

334
00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:35.799
wolves in that area, but there were Canadian wolves and

335
00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:41.559
there were gray wolves, there were hybrids. There were hybrid

336
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:47.240
wolves that were enormous, Like I've seen tracks. I'm not

337
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:50.279
a big dude, I'm only five nine, but the tracks

338
00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:51.480
were almost the size.

339
00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:56.920
Of my hand. Wolf tracks just huge wolves, and.

340
00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:58.799
So we were like, well, shoot, this guy's got a

341
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:00.039
five thousand dollars bounty on.

342
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:02.279
Black wolf let's get see if we can get ourselves

343
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:05.200
a black wolf. Right, We're two eighteen year old high

344
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:10.279
school kids. We're bulletproof. So we went up and we

345
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:13.599
found this little valley and my.

346
00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:17.440
Friend had a rifle that his dad had done the

347
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:19.759
legal process to get a suppressor on, and that thing

348
00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:21.440
we'd killed so many kyotes with.

349
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:23.720
I had done, but normally he shot first.

350
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:25.440
This time we had decided that I was going to

351
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:28.920
shoot first, and I just had an unsuppressed.

352
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:31.480
Ar with a scope on it. But we were both

353
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:32.839
pretty good shots.

354
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:35.160
We'd killed coyotes out to about three hundred and fifty

355
00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:36.400
four hundred yards before.

356
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:38.640
So we set up in this clearing.

357
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:40.759
We're kind of up in the trees on the edge

358
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:42.279
of it, and we've got a big meadow in front

359
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:47.680
of us, and we're sitting there just doing a few calls,

360
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:52.720
predator calls, and all of a sudden, my buddy's sitting

361
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:55.880
about ten feet to my right, and I see him

362
00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:59.920
slowly kind of sit up and perk up, and he's

363
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:02.359
he's looking through his binoculars and then he pulls out

364
00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:05.480
his rangefinder and he goes he kind.

365
00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:06.000
Of leans towards me.

366
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:09.440
He goes, hey about three seventy five on the other

367
00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:12.720
side of the clearing right to left, and it is.

368
00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:17.319
A huge what looks like a black wolf.

369
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:21.240
I mean it's got the ears, it's got the tail,

370
00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:27.400
but it's massive. I had a coworker who had two

371
00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:31.599
big Great Danes and this thing was as tall, probably

372
00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:38.000
as tall as them, but bulkier. So we had agreed

373
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:40.680
that I would get the first shot. But what we

374
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:43.680
did is when we were coyote hunting, is we would

375
00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:47.480
both be scoped on the same animal. The first one

376
00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:50.240
would shoot. If we missed, second one would take a

377
00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:53.880
follow up shot. And we've been successful doing that many times.

378
00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:58.519
So I scope in, and I've made shots on kyotes

379
00:23:58.559 --> 00:24:00.799
at this range, so I'm pretty comfortable. So I scope

380
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:06.880
in and I take my breath and I fire and

381
00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:13.599
I don't know if I missed, but that wolf creature

382
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:17.279
took off like a rifle shot man.

383
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:22.599
It covered. I don't know exactly how far it was.

384
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:26.160
I'm guessing sixty to seventy five yards to the other

385
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:31.759
side of the clearing in about three seconds. It was

386
00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:33.880
gone so fast my friend couldn't get a follow up

387
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:36.039
shot on it. And like I said, we were both

388
00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:38.599
pretty good shots. But he was a better shot than me.

389
00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:42.880
He was a crack shot, and he couldn't even keep

390
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:45.640
it in his scope to get a follow up. And

391
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:50.720
then so I just shot the unsuppressed rifle. That's probably

392
00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:53.279
going to scare anything out that's nearby.

393
00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:55.960
So we left. It came back the next day.

394
00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:59.839
And it had walked in front of a stump that

395
00:24:59.920 --> 00:25:02.160
I could see in my scope when I shot at it,

396
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:08.279
and that stump came up to like between my hip

397
00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:15.400
and my rib cage, so I don't know, three feet ish,

398
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:19.680
And there had been a gap between the underside of

399
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:24.200
that wolf's chest and that stump, So I mean that

400
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:30.079
puts his shoulders at four feet, probably three and a

401
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:31.880
half feet to the bottom of the chest, four feet

402
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:32.480
to the shoulder.

403
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:36.200
And I don't know if it was just an exceptionally.

404
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:39.319
Large black wolf or what it was, but it was

405
00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:42.799
one of the scariest things I've ever seen. The size

406
00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:48.039
of that creature and how fast it moved was just absurd.

407
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:53.559
It's a thing when you hear stuff like that, man,

408
00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:54.839
it really makes you wonder.

409
00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:55.920
Now.

410
00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:59.480
I don't get into a lot of things outside a bigfoot,

411
00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:03.480
but I mean, on the one, on the one side,

412
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:07.359
it's like, yeah, I guess they're they're there. Could definitely

413
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:10.319
be wolves that big out there. But then on the

414
00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:11.920
other side, you're kind of like me, and I wonder

415
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:14.759
if that could have been something else as well.

416
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:17.599
I don't know it would have been something else. I

417
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:20.799
don't know, because I have heard stories of.

418
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:24.200
Whatever you want to call it, whether it's dog man,

419
00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:26.839
I know that's kind of a no no word sometimes,

420
00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:32.039
but I have heard stories of whatever you want to

421
00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:34.960
call that creature only about two hours south of me,

422
00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:40.039
near a city called Twin Falls, and I did hear

423
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:43.400
a story on another podcast about dog man.

424
00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:45.720
Incitings there, So I don't know that that's what it was.

425
00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:49.920
That's kind of the most infuriating part for me and

426
00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:53.279
both of these stories is that I don't know what

427
00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:54.839
it was either time.

428
00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:01.400
So yeah, I was like, just as long don't say,

429
00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:03.720
you know, And then all of a sudden it stood

430
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:06.359
up and ran Oh man, dude.

431
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:09.920
Like, oh, I think I would have had a heart attack, Dude,

432
00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:12.680
as big as that thing was, I oh, I would

433
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:14.839
have freaking died right on the spot if it had

434
00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:15.480
stood up.

435
00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:20.119
Yeah, But same thing, like the other guy that had

436
00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:21.559
that encounter that sounded like me.

437
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:23.640
Where the bigfoot stepped out on the trail in front

438
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:26.920
of him, and it was a different one. If a

439
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:29.079
bigfoot had stepped out on the trailer in front of me,

440
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:30.880
I would have had a heart attack right on the spot.

441
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:40.519
Yeah. The thing is is like that, that's another pattern too.

442
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:44.039
Is you hear that you not only is it the

443
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:47.119
one that you know about, but there's there's probably another

444
00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:52.079
one in the area too, And man, that's just yeah,

445
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:58.200
that's just it's even crazier in hopefully in your case,

446
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:01.920
you know, there wasn't more than one. But the good

447
00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:05.680
thing is you got out of there, you know, pretty quickly.

448
00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:06.880
I wasn't sticking around.

449
00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:11.400
I wasn't sticking around to find out I Like I said,

450
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:14.519
I think that's the fastest mile I've ever walked without

451
00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:19.119
running in my life. I was not sticking around because,

452
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:22.240
like I said, I was by myself. It's about a

453
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:26.960
fifty minute drive from the nearest town, and it's about

454
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:30.119
thirty from the nearest main road. So granted I'm not

455
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:35.319
that far out as far as hunting goes, but I

456
00:28:35.480 --> 00:28:37.519
was far enough that I was like, I need to

457
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:39.200
leave right now.

458
00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:46.720
Do you have any thoughts about why Idaho might be

459
00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:50.839
a good environment for a sasquatch to be in.

460
00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:54.559
Yeah, I do.

461
00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:58.400
I mean, if you've heard any stories about Idaho, you've

462
00:28:58.440 --> 00:29:03.720
heard stories about like the frank Church Wilderness. It's a

463
00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:09.599
massive section of National Forest. I think it's I mean,

464
00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:12.200
I think it's about five six hours north of me.

465
00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:17.039
So granted it's a ways away, but just the whole state,

466
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:20.799
relatively speaking, is forest.

467
00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:23.279
It's very heavily wooded.

468
00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:25.640
There are areas plenty of areas where there's not a

469
00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:26.200
lot of people.

470
00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:32.039
Deer and elk and cattle are all over the state.

471
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:36.160
I mean, because we have Montana on one side and

472
00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:40.000
Oregon on one side. I'm closer to Oregon, but in

473
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:44.599
eastern Idaho there's part of the state line that borders

474
00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:48.240
Yellowstone that's right on the other side of the state

475
00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:50.319
border from Yellowstone, you know.

476
00:29:50.440 --> 00:29:50.759
So I.

477
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:58.440
Absolutely believe that Bigfoot could easily live away from people

478
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:07.240
and live well on deer and huckleberries and elk and.

479
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:09.079
Fish.

480
00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:12.559
I mean, we have huge salmon runs here in the state.

481
00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:16.720
There's a town that I used to play sports against

482
00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:22.559
in high school called Riggins, and the entire industry of

483
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:25.319
that town in the summer is salmon fishing in the

484
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:30.240
spring and summer. I mean that town relies on salmon fishing,

485
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:33.880
So I mean there's remote parts of that river where

486
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:38.000
I'm sure there's tons and tons of salmon available.

487
00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:42.480
Two. I mean I know they're available to bears, you know.

488
00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:45.960
So I would imagine that they could live very very

489
00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:50.119
well in some of these big forested areas. And I

490
00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:54.079
actually have heard an encounter story from the Frank Church wilderness,

491
00:30:55.599 --> 00:31:00.440
So I have no doubt that it's just a good,

492
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:03.799
solid environment for them in some of those areas. So

493
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:09.240
long answer to a short question, but yes, there's food,

494
00:31:09.400 --> 00:31:15.279
there's cover. Yeah, there's areas for them to hide where

495
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:19.839
people probably don't go all that often, if ever, you know.

496
00:31:20.200 --> 00:31:25.119
So, yeah, the frank Church is from what I've heard

497
00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:27.960
as well, it's definitely it's a wild place. I do

498
00:31:28.079 --> 00:31:33.000
have an episode where I talked to another hunter's name

499
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:39.039
is Dan. It's episode six forty three about a visual

500
00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:46.400
sighting he had in that area. Pretty intense stuff. Definitely listeners.

501
00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:50.279
If you're into Idaho stuff, would definitely give it a

502
00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:54.640
listen as well. Idaho is not a state we talk

503
00:31:54.680 --> 00:31:56.240
a lot about, but it's starting to become more and

504
00:31:56.319 --> 00:32:02.519
more prevalent on the show, which is great. I know

505
00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:08.680
you haven't had a visual Yeah, Micah, but do you

506
00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:12.880
have any thoughts about what it is that we might

507
00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:18.440
be dealing with when we talk about Bigfoot being out there?

508
00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:23.799
You know, I thought I did at one point, like

509
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:28.839
before I started learning podcasts and and watching some of

510
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:30.799
these documentary like small Town Monsters.

511
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:34.640
I know you love those guys. I love their videos.

512
00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:35.400
I've learned a.

513
00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:39.200
Lot from them, and my thoughts on Bigfoot kind of

514
00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:40.319
changed with the weather Man.

515
00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:47.000
There are because this story is just very so much.

516
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:49.119
I'm so glad you asked this question, but I'm going

517
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:53.279
to kind of rant for a second. So some day

518
00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:59.960
there are some stories that sound just like another credit.

519
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:04.200
You know, they're hunting, they're killing deer, they're hiding from humans.

520
00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:13.240
But then you have other stories where there's something more

521
00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:14.039
going on.

522
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:21.319
Because like I'm a Christian and I do.

523
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:26.519
Like I've heard the stories about like doctor Ketchum's DNA tests.

524
00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:32.519
That one kind of convinced me that there's like two.

525
00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:37.400
I think, granted, this is all my theory, and I

526
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:40.039
could be perfectly wrong, and I would be totally acceptable

527
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:47.119
to that, but I think there is some sort of

528
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:54.079
predator that we don't know about that is natural, that

529
00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:58.240
is bigfoot because of some of the stories. Again, you

530
00:33:58.319 --> 00:34:03.920
hear them killing gear, them taking livestock, grating farms, but

531
00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:13.719
then you hear things that they just don't have an explanation.

532
00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:18.440
Track lines walking through snowy fields and all of a sudden.

533
00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:20.400
Tracks are gone.

534
00:34:20.800 --> 00:34:27.159
Now, is it possible that they jumped sixty feet?

535
00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:27.760
I don't know.

536
00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:30.639
We don't know any like anything of what these creatures

537
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:34.079
are capable of. But I do think there are some

538
00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:40.000
that are more of a natural predator. Granted, I think

539
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:43.000
that they are the apex predator in any system they

540
00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:49.599
are in regardless, But then I think that there are

541
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:52.760
some that do have a spiritual like something more of

542
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:56.000
a spiritual whatever you want to call it aspect to it.

543
00:34:56.880 --> 00:35:02.199
So I do think some are a big bipedal predator,

544
00:35:03.440 --> 00:35:05.280
but I think there's others that are more Does that

545
00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:06.320
make any sense at all?

546
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:07.480
Yeah?

547
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:16.119
It does. My My viewpoints a little similar. It's you know,

548
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:19.239
it's it's definitely some kind of kind of physical creature

549
00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:22.639
because of, like as you were saying, the stuff that

550
00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:28.360
it does. It chases down deer, it leaves footprints, but yet,

551
00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:32.360
I mean, there are accounts that I've taken where it

552
00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:38.599
is like controlling an ORB or something like that, and

553
00:35:38.679 --> 00:35:41.920
the person that I'm talking to about that, like, I

554
00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:45.199
really trust this person. He's not crazy, you know, like

555
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:51.280
it's just some really really interesting, incredible witness. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

556
00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:54.679
But and then the other reason, sorry, the other reason

557
00:35:54.679 --> 00:35:58.639
that I say I think they're natural is you have

558
00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:04.320
behaves that are very very similar to Grade eights. You know,

559
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:08.639
you have the chatter. There's a story that I heard

560
00:36:08.719 --> 00:36:12.199
where he the guy is on a river trip with

561
00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:16.920
his son and they hear what the guy says.

562
00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:18.480
Sound like a pissed off monkey.

563
00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:22.400
He said, it sounds like a mad gorilla, just chattering away.

564
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:26.480
And then they're throwing rocks and throwing sticks, and that's

565
00:36:26.519 --> 00:36:33.480
all like documented primate behavior. But then other things, like

566
00:36:33.559 --> 00:36:36.559
you say, controlling orbs, the glowing red eyes, I don't

567
00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:38.280
know what that's about. I don't ever want to see that.

568
00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:44.079
But there's just so many weird things that don't line up.

569
00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:45.280
So really, I don't know.

570
00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:49.719
I hope we get answers in my lifetime, but I

571
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:50.920
don't know that we ever will.

572
00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:57.000
Yeah, you know, I don't know either, like I'm obviously

573
00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:01.000
you know, one of my goals is like hopefully we

574
00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:06.800
do because man, can you imagine like if they're if

575
00:37:06.840 --> 00:37:11.159
there is a point where there is discovery, there are

576
00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:14.920
I mean, there's gonna be people coming out out all

577
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:18.239
over the place with you know, Okay, now now it's

578
00:37:18.239 --> 00:37:19.000
okay to share.

579
00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:19.519
You know.

580
00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:21.679
Now it's a thing where Okay, there it is on

581
00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:26.599
the TV. Although it's like who knows, we can't we

582
00:37:26.599 --> 00:37:30.800
can't believe video anymore. I mean, that's out ever since AI.

583
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:33.079
I mean, I don't know if you've seen the stuff

584
00:37:33.119 --> 00:37:39.360
on TikTok, but you've got Bigfoot vlogging and it's it's

585
00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:42.599
wild man. You've got you've got Bigfoot preaching. You've also

586
00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:48.400
got Bigfoot in wartime scenarios, all sorts of weird stuff.

587
00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:50.639
And uh, all sorts of crazy stuff.

588
00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:53.559
It's very interesting. So I don't I don't know if

589
00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:57.719
that's going to also move the needle with what is

590
00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:03.599
going to be required for proving it, you know, I mean,

591
00:38:03.800 --> 00:38:05.559
anyone can make a video of that.

592
00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:11.639
I mean, it's great, like you said, especially with AI capabilities.

593
00:38:11.760 --> 00:38:15.320
Now, I don't know that a video will ever be

594
00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:19.639
good enough for everyone. I mean, I'm not a proponent

595
00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:25.039
of pointless killing, but I think at some point, granted

596
00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:27.679
getting in a little bit of conspiracy here, I think

597
00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:32.159
they have been killed. I mean, everybody who's ever spent

598
00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:34.719
any time listening to Bigfoot podcast at all knows the

599
00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:38.800
story of Mount Saint Helens where they were pulling Bigfoot

600
00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:42.000
bodies off the side of the mountain with a helicopter supposedly.

601
00:38:43.199 --> 00:38:49.760
You know, you have stories of military units killing Bigfoot

602
00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:53.800
on military bases because they got you know.

603
00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:57.440
I think that they have been killed.

604
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:00.360
But I think that a lot of times if it's

605
00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:03.519
a hunter, say it's a hunter that feels threatened and

606
00:39:03.559 --> 00:39:05.760
he shoots them, I think a lot of times they

607
00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:09.880
don't say anything because they're like, nobody's gonna believe this,

608
00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:16.679
which is valid. You know, there's so many skeptics still

609
00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:21.280
that will say, oh, well, bigfood doesn't exist. We would

610
00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:26.239
know about it by now, and would we And granted

611
00:39:26.280 --> 00:39:28.800
that's kind of more of a conspiracy angle on it,

612
00:39:28.840 --> 00:39:31.840
but yeah, I would love to see it proven and

613
00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:35.199
love to see it revealed, but I don't and I

614
00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:36.880
hope it happens, but I just don't know.

615
00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:44.119
There's a really interesting video I'm going to put it

616
00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:51.239
in the show notes. This individual on YouTube. He did

617
00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:56.519
a ton of research and listed pretty much every story

618
00:39:56.880 --> 00:40:00.360
that he could find from anywhere where I there was

619
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:06.559
a bigfoot body said to have been found, or like

620
00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:10.320
taking of a big foot and it's a it's called

621
00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:13.360
I Found every Bigfoot body location. It's very interesting. There's

622
00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:16.440
a lot of controversial stuff in there, of course. I

623
00:40:16.440 --> 00:40:20.920
mean he even goes into like the conspiracy theory in

624
00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:27.559
where it's M. K. Davis and Bluff Creek massacre, which

625
00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:33.440
that's that's it is. That is one that I don't

626
00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:38.159
hold to. But he he definitely did his his homework

627
00:40:38.719 --> 00:40:42.440
as to listing it. I think maybe the the one

628
00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:44.679
he may have missed is and I've got to look again,

629
00:40:44.679 --> 00:40:48.239
but the Bugs interview from Art Bell If you've ever

630
00:40:48.280 --> 00:40:49.880
heard that one, that's a great interview.

631
00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:52.840
I haven't, but I'm going to go look it up

632
00:40:52.840 --> 00:40:53.320
when we're done.

633
00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:56.000
It's a classic. I won't spoil it for you. It'll

634
00:40:56.039 --> 00:40:58.480
be a fun, fun one for you to listen to.

635
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:02.360
It's like Bugs the big Foot Hunter from Texas from

636
00:41:02.679 --> 00:41:06.519
old Art Belt. Good good stuff. But yeah, I mean

637
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:11.239
I really hope that we were able to move the

638
00:41:11.280 --> 00:41:14.360
needle a little bit. Hopefully in the next twenty years.

639
00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:18.400
You know, we'll hope that that that's been said over

640
00:41:18.440 --> 00:41:22.199
and over by different people in the community over the

641
00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:25.280
last one what is it like, we could say almost

642
00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:29.480
one hundred years, because there's you know, you've got the

643
00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:34.159
pre Patterson Gimlin bigfoot stuff. But I think it's important

644
00:41:34.199 --> 00:41:38.639
definitely that individuals such as yourself are able to come

645
00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:44.800
forward to share what they've experienced, to put more things

646
00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:47.320
out there. And the way I look at it is,

647
00:41:47.760 --> 00:41:51.280
if you know, the different podcasts keep doing that with

648
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:58.320
real and legitimate encounters, eventually the bathtub gets so full

649
00:41:58.360 --> 00:42:03.159
that it just overflows. And if let's say an organization

650
00:42:03.280 --> 00:42:05.840
has been holding stuff back, they have to be like, Okay,

651
00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:08.000
now we have to address this because this is as

652
00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:11.159
big a deal as the UFO thing. Now, so we'll

653
00:42:11.159 --> 00:42:11.920
see what happens.

654
00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:14.400
But here's the other thing. And I heard this set

655
00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:15.840
on another podcast the other day.

656
00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:19.800
Bigfoot used to be a big deal, right, you know,

657
00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:22.199
you heard about a big foot sighting and you're like, well.

658
00:42:22.199 --> 00:42:22.800
What happened?

659
00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:27.199
But now I think that you know, with movies and

660
00:42:27.320 --> 00:42:31.679
monster quests and podcasts and books, and I think it's

661
00:42:31.800 --> 00:42:35.559
kind of gotten desensitized, Like, I don't think it's as

662
00:42:35.599 --> 00:42:38.400
big a deal anymore for people to on the rare

663
00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:40.559
occasion that a bigfoot thing shows up in the news,

664
00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:41.840
they're like, oh, yeah, it's bigfoot.

665
00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:44.920
They're crazy. Whoever thought's crazy? You know.

666
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:48.519
That's my family's biggest arguments. They're like, ah, those people

667
00:42:48.559 --> 00:42:50.039
are nuts, And I'm like, I don't.

668
00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:50.639
Think they all are.

669
00:42:51.559 --> 00:42:57.159
Because you have thousands and thousands of sidings every year

670
00:42:57.880 --> 00:43:01.719
and only maybe what two thousand, We'll say a thousand

671
00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:06.960
just for number's sake, that do get reported and get

672
00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:12.880
talked about. If even one is true, there's something to it.

673
00:43:13.880 --> 00:43:16.400
If even one out of that thousand is true, there's

674
00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:22.920
something to it. And I just can't personally accept that

675
00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:25.719
every single one of those encounters is a fake story.

676
00:43:26.800 --> 00:43:33.239
I think they are out there, but I don't think

677
00:43:33.280 --> 00:43:36.440
everybody's crazy this is bigfoot. I just don't.

678
00:43:38.360 --> 00:43:45.559
Yeah, absolutely, I mean they're They're definitely not all fake

679
00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:49.480
for sure. I mean, are there some potentially Oh yeah,

680
00:43:49.519 --> 00:43:52.679
I mean there's been hoaxes out there, but man, there

681
00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:57.119
are some that definitely definitely are. And I mean there

682
00:43:57.119 --> 00:44:01.920
are ones that i've i've talked to people that are

683
00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:05.400
just just nuts. But I mean for some reason or another.

684
00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:08.880
Usually it's a thing where they're they're afraid of losing

685
00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:12.559
their job, or they're waiting until that they are retired,

686
00:44:12.679 --> 00:44:16.599
which is no problem. They're just waiting to be able

687
00:44:16.599 --> 00:44:21.639
to tell their story. And yeah, I hope that those

688
00:44:21.639 --> 00:44:26.519
individuals are able to share. There's some really really interesting

689
00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:29.679
ones out there in the background, but.

690
00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:31.159
Yeah, there is.

691
00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:35.280
And if even one person hears my story and is like, hey,

692
00:44:35.920 --> 00:44:38.559
I had something similar happen, even if it's not in idahood,

693
00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:42.239
that's my thing, is like I just want people to

694
00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:46.840
know that you're not you know, you're not alone in this.

695
00:44:47.239 --> 00:44:50.760
So I maybe maybe somebody will hear this and think, well,

696
00:44:50.760 --> 00:44:52.280
maybe I'll come out with my story now.

697
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:53.559
Who knows.

698
00:44:54.199 --> 00:44:57.679
Absolutely, that's kind of the way it works. You tell

699
00:44:57.719 --> 00:45:01.000
about one area and then people or let go, I

700
00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:03.920
know that area had something happen, and it's kind of

701
00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:06.599
how it keeps going. But you know, Mike, I just

702
00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:08.519
want to say thank you so much for coming on

703
00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:12.400
the show today. It's been a great time you sharing

704
00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:14.920
what you experienced, and I want to say thank you

705
00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:17.760
for doing that. But also a great discussion as well

706
00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:20.920
about different topics within Bigfoot. I just want to say

707
00:45:20.920 --> 00:45:21.719
thank you for coming on.

708
00:45:23.480 --> 00:45:25.800
Yeah, of course, thank you for having me. I love

709
00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:26.239
the show.

710
00:45:26.360 --> 00:45:29.519
Like I said, I drive for an Amazon delivery contractor,

711
00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:32.400
so there's always a podcast in my ears, and a

712
00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:35.400
lot of times it's Bigfoot Society. So thank you for

713
00:45:35.880 --> 00:45:39.239
doing what you do and giving me the chance to

714
00:45:39.280 --> 00:45:41.800
come on here and talk. And I look forward to

715
00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:43.559
a lot more episodes.

716
00:45:50.599 --> 00:45:57.320
Hi, my name is Buck. I live in the Black

717
00:45:57.400 --> 00:46:02.679
Hills of South Dakota in Rapid City, to be exact,

718
00:46:04.119 --> 00:46:05.800
I have a story I wanted to share with you.

719
00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:12.480
This took place quite a long time ago. As you

720
00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:15.079
may or may not know, the Black Hills got mountains

721
00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:17.480
that range up to seven thousand feet give or take,

722
00:46:17.519 --> 00:46:23.239
and it's just a beautiful and sometimes very rug and

723
00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:28.639
remote country. Anyway, this took place a long time ago,

724
00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:31.920
and I haven't shared it with many people, but actually

725
00:46:31.920 --> 00:46:34.239
only my brother and my mother have ever talked about it.

726
00:46:35.880 --> 00:46:43.119
What had been approximately nineteen sixty seven, and my parents

727
00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:47.320
and the three of us, my younger sister and youngest

728
00:46:47.360 --> 00:46:50.639
brother to be exact, where going to stay at a

729
00:46:50.679 --> 00:46:58.199
cabin who was a friend of my folks, is this

730
00:46:58.719 --> 00:47:08.920
cabin always in the Gallena area, the Black Hills, and

731
00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:10.480
it's got a lot of creeks running through it in

732
00:47:10.559 --> 00:47:13.760
some real rugged country. I keep it in mind that

733
00:47:13.840 --> 00:47:16.639
this would have been year sixty seven, and the Black

734
00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:24.159
Hills has changed tremendously since then. There's far more homes

735
00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:28.519
people in the area. And now, I mean it's vastly

736
00:47:28.559 --> 00:47:32.239
different from what it was then, far more remote and

737
00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:37.760
a lot less going on. Anyway, we went to this

738
00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:43.239
cabin and we'd been there before and we just loved

739
00:47:43.239 --> 00:47:46.559
it it. We did a lot of running around. There

740
00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:51.599
was lots of trees, always things to do, and some

741
00:47:51.679 --> 00:47:57.639
creeks or some runoff areas. Anyway, one particular creek that

742
00:47:57.760 --> 00:48:01.400
ran near the cabin was always a favorite of ours.

743
00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:08.079
And there was one bridge, small, you know, homemade bridge

744
00:48:08.119 --> 00:48:11.480
across the creek. This isn't a big creek. This creek

745
00:48:11.519 --> 00:48:15.400
is probably oh, six to eight feet wide at the

746
00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:21.320
most and probably three feet deep, you know, give or

747
00:48:21.320 --> 00:48:27.960
taking some of its widest areas. However, if you're a

748
00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:31.280
young kid, you know, he was a big thing. I

749
00:48:31.280 --> 00:48:35.440
would have been a seven, and my youngest brother he

750
00:48:35.480 --> 00:48:43.679
would have been approximately five. Whilst anyway, along and short,

751
00:48:43.719 --> 00:48:51.639
whilst running around by the creek, we got to an

752
00:48:51.719 --> 00:48:55.599
area we're running across this log that crossed it my

753
00:48:55.679 --> 00:49:01.840
brother and I, and it is so hard to explain.

754
00:49:01.960 --> 00:49:12.239
I saw something, and to this day, I always it's

755
00:49:12.280 --> 00:49:17.000
always on my mind. There was an individual there. And

756
00:49:17.039 --> 00:49:20.199
I say individual because of course I was seven, but

757
00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:25.760
I was big. I'd say somewhere six and a half

758
00:49:25.800 --> 00:49:34.960
seven feet tall and black, and he was probably thirty

759
00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:37.639
yards from his twenty to twenty five to thirty yards

760
00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:42.960
from us, just standing somewhat behind a tree, but looking

761
00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:48.519
at us. My little brother wasn't looking at him at

762
00:49:48.519 --> 00:49:52.239
that point, but I was, and I just wondered. I

763
00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:54.760
always it was odd because we had been there many

764
00:49:54.800 --> 00:50:00.639
times and never seen anybody else up there. Anyway, as

765
00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:03.239
this was taking place, my brother, who was horse around log,

766
00:50:03.320 --> 00:50:07.880
fell into the creek and he was like saves, around

767
00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:13.079
three to four years old. He was underwater and I

768
00:50:13.119 --> 00:50:16.119
was looking at and I was so scared. Between the

769
00:50:16.199 --> 00:50:18.920
between seeing this the individual and suddenly my brother being

770
00:50:18.920 --> 00:50:27.920
in this creek, it was just overwhelming. I ran back

771
00:50:27.960 --> 00:50:30.440
to the cabin because I couldn't get him out. He

772
00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:32.400
was too far down from the log to reach down

773
00:50:32.440 --> 00:50:35.159
to the creek, and I didn't think I could get

774
00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:38.039
in to get him, so I ran back to the

775
00:50:38.079 --> 00:50:46.480
cabin and the first one there was my mother, and

776
00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:48.880
I told her what had happened and that we needed help.

777
00:50:49.719 --> 00:50:52.199
If you'd like to share a voicemail to be potentially

778
00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:55.679
featured on the show as well, head over to Bigfoot

780
00:51:02.119 --> 00:51:03.719
Swant to take a minute to say thank you for

781
00:51:03.800 --> 00:51:06.960
listening to this episode of the Bigfoot Society Podcast. Micah's

782
00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:08.880
story is the kind that sticks with you, not just

783
00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:11.440
because of the sound that he heard in those trees,

784
00:51:11.519 --> 00:51:13.840
but for how close it came to something that we

785
00:51:13.920 --> 00:51:17.159
may never fully understand. So huge thanks to Micah for

786
00:51:17.199 --> 00:51:21.239
stepping forward and sharing this chilling moment from the Idaho backcountry.

787
00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:24.360
It's stories like his that remind us that sometimes the

788
00:51:24.360 --> 00:51:27.639
woods fall silent for a reason. If you've enjoyed this conversation,
