All right.

25
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:26.040
Big for Society got the privilege of talking to Mike

26
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:30.799
from East Texas today. He contacted me about some interesting

27
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.159
things that have been going on around his area. And

28
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:38.280
as you may if you're familiar with Bigfoot at all,

29
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.959
there's definitely some Bigfoot things going on in the East

30
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.000
Texas area. But how's it going tonight, Mike?

31
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:47.799
All right, how are you doing over there at Jeremiah?

32
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:50.840
I'm doing good. We're starting to get a little bit

33
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:54.040
chilly out here in central Iowa, but I think we

34
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:58.040
might have a little bit of little warm period, But

35
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:01.719
for right now, it's pretty chilly, about twenty to thirty.

36
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:07.840
Oh yeah, Yeah. My familiarity with Bigfoot is it begins.

37
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:13.039
I remember being a kid and seeing a few episodes

38
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.680
where they started featuring Andre the Giant dressed up as

39
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:21.879
Bigfoot living out in Austin as a kid, and hearing

40
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:26.360
the occasional story from the other school kids about bigfoots

41
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.560
and stuff like that. But I never gave it any merit.

42
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.199
I never believed in it. I put it out there

43
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.639
with snipe hunting and fairies and elves and that kind

44
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.159
of stuff. I thought it was more like a joke,

45
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:41.039
trying to get somebody's goat. And I always figured anything

46
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.319
that big would have either been in a zoo or

47
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:47.560
a museum years ago. Yeah, that was my knowledge. The

48
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:52.240
Abominable Snowman was a clamation character, and I had more

49
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:57.439
faith than the possibility of extraterrestrials than Bigfoot, and even

50
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:03.039
that was very sketchy. Yeah, I was never like. I

51
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.960
hadn't even seen the Patterson Gemlin film until I think

52
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:11.680
probably the eighties, and then Harry and Henderson's came out.

53
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:14.560
I didn't even watch that. I just recently saw that

54
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.680
on Netflix or whatever the pck. It was streaming it

55
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:23.919
with my life. But our Bigfoot encounter, and this involves

56
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:28.400
my life and myself, it wasn't visual, thank god. But

57
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:33.319
we are now both believers, and I bet a lot

58
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.560
of other people have similar experiences, but they just brushed

59
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:42.039
them off of something else. And it's only until only when,

60
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:46.120
rather when you really look closely around yourself and other

61
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:48.879
things and open your mind to possibilities that I believe

62
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:55.039
people can start seeing signs and finding footprints and other

63
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:58.719
signs hearing the things and recognizing that, oh, that's not

64
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.759
an owl, what have you. But I think a lot

65
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.199
of people don't disclose these weird things that they brush

66
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:07.800
off either because they don't want people to think they're nuts,

67
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.120
and especially if you have a professional reputation, you don't

68
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.439
want to endanger that. Our house is over sixty years old,

69
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:18.600
it's outside city limits, back to a large vast forest,

70
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:24.319
and the only access to our backyard is through the front,

71
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:29.079
and it's a busy highway, and we would see intruders

72
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.199
through our windows if anyone was in the front areas

73
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.240
or coming up to the front. We have no trespassing

74
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:38.920
signs and often shoot my forty fives and fifty caliber

75
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:43.720
out back, which I believe deters thieves pretty well. So

76
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:48.560
we've never had anyone snooping around on our property, tresspassing,

77
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:50.800
or proaching everything like that since we moved here over

78
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.680
five years ago. And that's generally how it is out

79
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:57.079
in the country. People know everybody's armed and so they

80
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:01.519
don't screw around with people like that out here. When

81
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:05.000
we moved in, the house had a bright mercury out

82
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.600
in the front driveway which would come on automatically when

83
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.959
the sun went down, and I thought it was creepy

84
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:16.839
and weird. I never really thought much about it, but

85
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:19.800
now looking back, I think it was put up and

86
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:23.079
used as what they would refer to out here in

87
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:27.079
the country as a boogerlight, which is a deterrent for

88
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:31.759
these things. And I guess you could say it started

89
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:38.120
October twenty, twenty twenty two. My wife heard a man's voice.

90
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.040
I was out of town and she heard a man's

91
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:45.279
voice from outside the glass door that connects to our

92
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:48.920
car port we're entry into that it's open and easy

93
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:52.800
to get to, and she heard a man's voice loudery.

94
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:55.879
So she looked, and she saw no one out through

95
00:05:55.879 --> 00:06:00.000
the window of the door, but it creaked her out, scared,

96
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.160
so she stayed out of that room for weeks and

97
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:06.439
shut and locked booth doors. She thought it was She

98
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:11.199
brushed it off as an auditory hallucination. Maybe somebody across

99
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:15.399
the street yelling. We do have neighbors across the highway

100
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:19.680
and their house can act like a speaker. It's a

101
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.439
brick house, and when they're on the front porch, the

102
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:24.879
sound carries it all the way across the highway. At times,

103
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:27.839
but they have to really be yelling loud or do better,

104
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:31.600
making a lot of noise, but he brushed it off.

105
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.560
Let's see. I think it was April twenty twenty two.

106
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:41.000
We both heard a from the forest on coming back

107
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.399
home from somewhere and I asked her that you'd heard

108
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:46.800
that before, and she said that she's heard it many

109
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:49.399
times before, but she just thought it wasn't out. See.

110
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:51.439
That's what I mean. People just brush all this is off.

111
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:56.639
And then around May, we were out hiking at a

112
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.800
state park that's nearby us where no hunting is allowed,

113
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:04.360
but it's heavily populated with deer, and while we were hiking,

114
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:10.160
we found two lower front legs of a deer that

115
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:13.319
were torn off and they were placed close together, side

116
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:17.480
by side. They weren't cut off, but they were torn off,

117
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.319
and you could tell from the way the hide was

118
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:24.560
mangled around the edges and there was no blood around them.

119
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:29.199
There were no ants, just two broken front legs. And

120
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:34.399
I thought that's just weird. And it took me several

121
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:36.519
months had to go by before I put it together,

122
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:41.720
and heard that other people who had had actual sightings

123
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:44.720
on their properties and encounters and things of that nature

124
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:48.000
that they had found me. There's even a number of

125
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:52.360
people that have actually seen these creatures grab a dough

126
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:56.279
or far or small deer grab hold of it, ripped

127
00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:00.439
the lower front legs off, to hobble it and place

128
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.920
it down and hide if there was a car or

129
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:07.519
someone coming, so the animal wouldn't get away, it would

130
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:10.879
keep it alive until it grabbed it and was able

131
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:14.600
to take its quarry elsewhere and assume it. Yes week,

132
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.079
that was about thirty minutes away from our place, by

133
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:23.240
the way, And in December twenty twenty two, we were

134
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:25.079
out while I was out of town. It was about

135
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.560
ten eleven o'clock. My wife heard loud footsteps crunching around

136
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:32.320
in the backyard right up against the wall of our den,

137
00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:35.399
and she was in the den watching TV and she

138
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.440
could hear it through the wall. It was that loud,

139
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:41.799
but when she looked out there, she didn't see anything.

140
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:44.879
But it was also extremely dark where you look out

141
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:46.720
the window but you can't see anything because the lie

142
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:51.240
inside's reflecting mouth glass. And she just brushed it off.

143
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.000
She thought maybe it was a deer or something. Now

144
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.879
March of twenty twenty three, business when it really starts

145
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:04.600
getting strange. I had been trying to develop this back

146
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.960
area behind our house where it goes down into a

147
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.240
little creek, a little hollow area back there into my

148
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:16.799
feed plot where I could hunt locally in my backyard,

149
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:22.720
and I put in a feeder, dear feeder, and I

150
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:24.720
wanted to attract the gear back there, so I took

151
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.600
a jar of peanut butter and took the lid off,

152
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:31.320
screwed the lid to a tree with a deck screws,

153
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:34.879
and opened the jar up, put it back on, and

154
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:37.840
then cut the bottom out of it. And that's to

155
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:40.639
allow the bear to come up and lick right out

156
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:44.120
of it. And it was unscrewed. I went out. It

157
00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:46.600
was about two three days later. I went to go

158
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:49.879
check it on the progress of it, and it was

159
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:55.000
unscrewed from the lid, laying on the ground and totally empty.

160
00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:59.320
Not a micro trace of peanut butter remained in it.

161
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.399
And I brushed it off as raccoons, But looking back

162
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.919
at it, the raccoon would have to climb up the

163
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:11.159
tree about five feet, grip it with its bottom legs,

164
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.480
straddle this tree that was about nine inches in diameter,

165
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:18.840
and then unscrew the lid with both of its little

166
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:24.360
raccoon hands, turning it to the left, and then not

167
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:27.080
leave a trace of peanut butter at the jar and

168
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:31.480
then remove the jar. It was just weird. I don't know.

169
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:35.879
I thought, Okay, I'll use apples instead. So I'd buy

170
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:40.360
a bag of green apples, sometimes red from Walmart and

171
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.600
throw about five or six out there near the feed,

172
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:49.200
and the next day, every apple loot it was just

173
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:52.240
totally gone, without a trace, without a piece of apple anywhere,

174
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:56.840
totally gone. Now, who's going to eat six apples and

175
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:00.200
not leave a trace? Not even a little piece? That

176
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:04.159
That was strange. So I started wondering about this. I thought,

177
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:07.960
maybe there is something to this, because now we're starting

178
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:14.200
to occasionally stream and watch Finding Bigfoot episode more for

179
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:21.200
the comedic relief of Cliff, Bobo and Matt, and I

180
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:24.919
remember seeing them do calls and I thought, oh, you know,

181
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:27.080
I'll just try one of these calls, one or two

182
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:29.360
of these calls. So I did a couple of calls

183
00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:32.720
and I didn't hear anything back. There was no reply.

184
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:36.600
But what I didn't realize was if there was something

185
00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:40.320
going on out there that probably ramped it up. And

186
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:42.600
about two or three days later, I go out there

187
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.320
to check on the deer corn in the feeder, see

188
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:47.440
where the level's at, and see if I'm getting any

189
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:52.799
little deer lift prints out there, and see what kind

190
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:57.279
of activity I have. And I found a pile of scat.

191
00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:00.840
It was about six inches in diameter and a half tall,

192
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:06.480
and it was like a grayish black color, and it

193
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:12.679
was just chalked full of seeds, BlackBerry seeds, and it

194
00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:18.960
was like something had eaten five pounds of blackberries and

195
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:22.679
then defecated into the creek. I had a little creek

196
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.320
that runs back there, right next to my feet, and

197
00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:32.240
the water flowing around it had reduced its size. But

198
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:35.080
when I found it was about six inches into after

199
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:38.240
by inch half tall, I didn't think much of it.

200
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:42.639
I said, maybe it's raccoons. At that time, we had

201
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:46.639
about four or five raccoons family of about three or

202
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.360
fourth awsome. We'd had beer coming down there. I'd been

203
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:53.960
catching on my trail cam on a tree nearby. We

204
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:57.039
even had a coyote come up in the yard. And

205
00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:01.679
we always had codies around here nearby, within oh gosh,

206
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:06.519
almost two or three nights. They'd be within an eighth

207
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:10.720
of a mile and needless to say, over time all

208
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:14.279
of those things disappeared, even our propper heads and our

209
00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:18.720
water moopsins and other snakes and stuff that we had there,

210
00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:23.399
whatever is out there, it depleted the food resources to

211
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:29.720
practically nothing. So we came back one night from visiting family,

212
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:31.879
and it was about eight thirty, and I remembered that

213
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.559
I wanted to check on the deer feed and see

214
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:38.399
if I needed to put more dear corn edit or not.

215
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:41.799
And I didn't usually go down there at eight thirty.

216
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:45.320
It was start, it was getting too dark. This was March,

217
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:49.200
and I just never went down there that late before.

218
00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:51.919
I'd always gone down there in the mornings or in

219
00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:56.399
the afternoons. But this time I went down there and

220
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:03.000
I heard a single, very low, deep, menacing growl about

221
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:06.399
thirty to thirty five feet from my feet in our

222
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:12.679
creek off to my right, and I didn't see anything,

223
00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:16.279
but when I looked just straight ahead, I didn't look

224
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:19.399
up into the tree, which I regret. I think whatever

225
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:21.320
it was, it may have been up in the tree

226
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:24.679
or behind some trees, and being down in a hollow,

227
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:30.279
it could project the sound and echo it off something else,

228
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:32.159
so it maybe sounded like it was coming from a

229
00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:36.360
different direction. But when I heard the sound, it was

230
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:41.440
like it just a but something inside me it triggers

231
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:44.559
it a primal response that told me to leave.

232
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.240
We'll be back with more big Foot society after these

233
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:50.320
words from our sponsors.

234
00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:58.240
And this is my property. I'm protective of it. I'm

235
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.000
armed usually most of the time, so I wasn't that time.

236
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:06.120
But if it was a guy or an animal that

237
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:10.000
I could see, I would have probably said something to it,

238
00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:13.759
stood up to it. But something inside me told me

239
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:18.919
just leave, don't do anything, don't run, don't there's no

240
00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:22.799
chance against this thing, whatever it is. Just walk away

241
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:26.360
and get away. And that's what I did. I didn't

242
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:28.480
even think of standing my own ground at that station.

243
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:33.240
And we haven't seen Like I said, we haven't seen

244
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:38.440
any other animals since May twenty twenty three, including mice

245
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:43.360
or armadillos or squirrels. The squirrels are reduced down to

246
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:48.799
three squirrels. And it gets weirder now. May twenty twenty three,

247
00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:52.120
we had a field mice getting a field mouse getting

248
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:54.720
our house, and I knew I was fixing a leaf

249
00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:57.120
for trip, so I wanted to make sure I caught

250
00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.480
this thing. But I knew if it was in one

251
00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:03.559
of those traps where it slaps down on their head

252
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:06.240
leaves a bloody mess, that my wife wouldn't want to

253
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:08.440
mess with it, so she'd be scared of it soon.

254
00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:11.279
So I went to Walmart got one of these green

255
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:17.240
plastic tubuler what to call the humane trap. It's about,

256
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:21.879
I guess, about inch in a quarter in diameter, about

257
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.679
five six inches long, dark green. One end has a

258
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.159
sliding door on it that slides up, and the other

259
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:33.279
has a spring loaded door that you push in, so

260
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:37.840
you have to have fingers to release whatever is in there.

261
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:42.360
We caught the little mouse, and I don't have time

262
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:44.639
to deal with this because two days I had to

263
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:50.399
be out of town and I was getting my stuff ready,

264
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:53.039
my paperwork and my clothes and everything. So I just

265
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:56.240
took this mouse and the trap and put it on

266
00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:00.480
this white vinyl shelf that we have gardening that's on

267
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.399
out in the backyard, out of the back of the house.

268
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:08.079
And there was a single two inch wide by six

269
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:12.319
inch long smudge in the mud next to the shelf.

270
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:16.119
The next let me back back here two days later

271
00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:19.359
when I came back. When I returned from my trip,

272
00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:22.319
after I put it on the shelf. The thing was gone.

273
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:27.440
The trap was totally gone, and I thought, that's weird.

274
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:29.920
The first thing that entered my mind was maybe a

275
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:32.359
hawk got to it. But I thought, how's a hawk

276
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:33.920
going to see it when it's in the middle of

277
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:36.880
a three tiered shelf that's a foot and a half

278
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:39.519
to two feet off the ground, and how's it going

279
00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:44.640
to grip slippery hard plastic with his talents couldn't possibly

280
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:49.319
reach around that U shaped plastic structure. So I thought,

281
00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:53.200
maybe a raccoon got it, maybe this, maybe that, and

282
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:56.279
just brushed it off. But like I said, there was

283
00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:00.519
a two inch by six inch long smudge marking the

284
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:05.680
next to where the shelf was, like something had swiped

285
00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:09.720
across there, and like maybe they were finger marks or

286
00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:13.519
I don't know, digit marks that left in the mud.

287
00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:16.000
And I still didn't think much of it. I thought,

288
00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:18.440
maybe if it was a hawk that came down, then

289
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:21.960
that's what its feet did or something. You'd just brush

290
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:26.079
all this stuff off. I was mowing my yard about

291
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:29.839
three weeks after this, on my ride and mower and

292
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:34.480
the houses and let's say you make a square shape,

293
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:36.480
the house would be in the center of the square,

294
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:40.200
and I mow in a pattern which is like a

295
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:43.519
horseshoe because there's one part where I don't mow because

296
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:46.640
it's just groundcover and trees and think so so on

297
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:50.079
one half of that would be a U shaped pattern.

298
00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:52.880
I would come around on one side and go around

299
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:55.319
to the other and come back again and mow and

300
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:58.039
had a forty two inch wide swath with my riding

301
00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:02.000
mower each time going from the outside to the inside.

302
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:06.759
On the third ass when I came around, and I'd

303
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:09.240
keep in mind, I made two other passes with the

304
00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:12.680
mow on the lowest setting, and I walked my yard

305
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:14.920
first before I mowed, make sure I'm not going to

306
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.799
run over any big sticks or the breed that I'm

307
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:21.039
going to have to wind up picking up pieces of

308
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:24.559
paper or whatever. So I'd walked it first. There was

309
00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:28.599
nothing out there at all, and I mowed this area,

310
00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:32.960
came through nothing there. On the third time I came

311
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:36.440
back by, the green plastic trap was back right in

312
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:39.480
the middle of where I had first mowed, and there's

313
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:43.359
no way I could have gone over that. We got

314
00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:46.400
there on the mower. The mower would have hit it

315
00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:50.240
and shattered it into a mess of little pieces, and

316
00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:53.920
it was about ten feet from me into the forest

317
00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:56.559
and I still have the trap by the way, if

318
00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:00.640
anybody wants to test it for anything. So that got

319
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:04.440
me really freaked out. That got me thinking something with

320
00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:09.000
an opposable thumb had to pick this up because the

321
00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:12.359
mouse was gone. You have to push that door in

322
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:14.759
at one end, or you have to lift the door

323
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:17.160
up at the other, and both of them were in

324
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:20.720
their closed positions, so if it slid the door up,

325
00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:22.680
it pushed it back down. If it pushed the other

326
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.119
one in, it took its finger out, and it was

327
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:29.599
almost like a hang impression, like the thing was saying

328
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:34.240
more mice, please. Whatever it was, thanks for the snack,

329
00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:35.039
you got any more?

330
00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:38.400
Yeah, exactly, And.

331
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:42.559
It was just weird. My wife, I've probably spent about

332
00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:46.799
two sometimes three weeks a month on the road, and

333
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:50.160
we talk about things going on at the house when

334
00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:54.920
I'm gone. She heard it at least eight loud wood

335
00:20:54.960 --> 00:21:00.519
knocks occurring one night over over an hour. And it

336
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:04.720
started every five minutes there'd be a knock, and then

337
00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:08.200
it got down to every three minutes, and then every

338
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:11.640
two minutes, and then every minute. It was like whatever

339
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.799
was making these loud knocks, which sounded to her like

340
00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:20.200
somebody with a baseball bat hitting on this huge tree

341
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:23.079
that we had back behind our house, from about twenty

342
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:26.200
five feet away from the house, and she said it

343
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:29.559
felt like something was trying to lure her outside, so

344
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:32.480
she made sure not to walk in front of any

345
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:36.799
windows to avoid being seen. She turned the TV on

346
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:41.079
mute to try and discern if it was somebody with

347
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:47.519
like a pneumatic nail driver nearby across the street building

348
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:51.359
a frame structure, or a hammer or something. She'd looked

349
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:54.400
out front and didn't see anything going on, and she

350
00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:57.720
said it sounded like it was coming from the backyard distinctly,

351
00:21:58.279 --> 00:22:02.079
that's where the edge of our forest is. And as

352
00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:06.759
the longer she didn't respond, the more frantic and the

353
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:10.880
more it occurred, and then it stopped. When I returned,

354
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:13.119
I was talking to her on the phone doing this,

355
00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:17.839
and when I came back, I found an area on

356
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:21.200
a pine tree that we have that was rubbed smooth

357
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:26.279
of bark where it was hit by either a rock

358
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:32.000
or a limb, and there was a spot that was

359
00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:34.799
like I said, it was rubbed smooth, and directly above

360
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:40.079
that area, about one and a quarter inch pine tree.

361
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:46.319
Limb was snapped down and pointed down towards the house,

362
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:50.720
and I'd cut that limb off, and that was when

363
00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:55.279
I saw the smooth spot, because it was below it

364
00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:59.480
and it was just weird.

365
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:02.319
High up on the tree, it was a smooth spot.

366
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:08.160
It was about about seven seven feet. It's still out there,

367
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:13.680
and let's see June nothing. It's funny because it's not

368
00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:16.839
an everyday thing or even every week thing, so I

369
00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:19.880
had to keep chronological records on all this June of

370
00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:23.480
twenty twenty three, I decided to search the backyard and

371
00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:26.880
I found a tree down in the hollow that was

372
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:30.279
ripped out of the ground. The roots snapped off, the bark,

373
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:32.839
stripped off the top branches, and then it was thrown

374
00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:34.960
up into the fork of a bigger tree that was

375
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:39.119
about twelve foot high. I've kept pictures of the tree

376
00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:41.599
with the smooth spot, and a picture of that one

377
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:45.640
as well. And then later in June twenty twenty three,

378
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:50.480
my wife heard multiple loud aucups while I was out

379
00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:53.319
of town. It's funny, there's a pattern that when I'm

380
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:56.519
out of town that's when she would start getting harassed.

381
00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:02.160
On my return, we both heard multiple hoots, and I

382
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:04.880
don't I think it thought she was the only one home.

383
00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:10.680
I park out front and the house backs up to

384
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:13.319
the forest on the other side, so it wouldn't have

385
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:17.440
seen my vehicle. But we've come to the conclusion that

386
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:21.480
it looks in one of our windows. And we've got

387
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:24.200
some more stuff I shouldn't add to this that I'll

388
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:29.480
get to eventually. But she heard these loud owl hoots,

389
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:34.079
and she's not really a country person. I'm not either.

390
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:38.519
We're city transplants. But I've been out in the country

391
00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:41.400
more than her enough to know and recognize ol hoots.

392
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:43.720
And you know, if it sounds like an eight hundred

393
00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:47.319
pound owl, it's probably not an owl, folks.

394
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:51.079
So I was just going to ask, because I was

395
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:55.000
going to ask, why was she so concerned about owl hoots?

396
00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:57.680
But it so. What you're saying is that this owl

397
00:24:58.200 --> 00:25:01.759
was a loud, loud sounding owl.

398
00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:05.759
Yes, it was very loud. A lot of people will

399
00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:12.200
mistake doves for owls. They're more along that that decibel level,

400
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:19.200
like a kidgeon or a dove, And this thing was loud.

401
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:24.400
It had resonance to it, and I was hearing it too.

402
00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:28.680
We were watching TV with the volume probably about half

403
00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:30.880
to three quarters up, and we're hearing it through the

404
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:36.200
wall outside, and it was too loud, too deep, and

405
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:40.000
it was too close. And we just sat there listening

406
00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:43.240
to that, and something told me that's not an owl.

407
00:25:43.799 --> 00:25:46.440
And I wasn't going to try to go out there

408
00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:49.359
and look because it was dark. I wasn't going to

409
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:54.079
see what this was. I didn't want to put myself

410
00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:59.319
in that situation. So after that, let's see here, hours

411
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:04.720
out in the backyard again, probably checking on my dear fear,

412
00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:09.240
that's the thing. I'm checking on that, or on Montreil cam,

413
00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:12.759
and I found what I thought was a footprint. I

414
00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:16.400
got a picture of that one. It's in red clay

415
00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:21.200
that was dried hard, but it wasn't very distinct. It

416
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:25.160
didn't have any distinction marks, but I could tell it

417
00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:28.720
was something heavy and it was when it stepped in.

418
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:32.480
It was going uphill and the heel is much deeper

419
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:37.039
than the rest of the foot, So that's weird. But

420
00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:39.759
you still you brush these things off. It takes a

421
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:42.359
whole lot of them to add up into something that

422
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:46.400
you just can't really explain. While I'm out there looking

423
00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:49.079
around and looking back at that tree with the rub

424
00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:52.759
spot on it. I found a weird looking large sandstone.

425
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:55.920
It's a type of rock with odd grooves and holes

426
00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:58.240
in it, and it looks like something from a cave

427
00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:02.599
or from far away from here. I've never seen rocks

428
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:07.519
like this out in this area before, and it's probably

429
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:10.440
the only rock well, if you want to count little pebbles,

430
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:16.880
but pieces of gravel. But it's like a fist size rock,

431
00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:20.039
and it's just really weird. And it was lying near

432
00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:23.319
the pine tree where the limb was broken, and the

433
00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:25.640
one with a smooth spot on it that was aimed

434
00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:29.119
towards our house. I'm of the theory that's what it

435
00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:34.200
was hitting the tree with doing the knock with you'd

436
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:36.599
probably make more noise with a rock hit a tree

437
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:39.799
than you could with a limb or a branch, especially,

438
00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:43.400
I think the bark would dissipate some of the sound

439
00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:46.200
and absorb it. I left it where it was, though

440
00:27:46.759 --> 00:27:49.519
we still have it there. By this time, I'd already

441
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:54.640
started listening to Bigfoot and Beyond other shows and learning

442
00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:57.119
a little bit to know. I didn't want this thing

443
00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:01.000
to perceive any type of gifting situation or what have you.

444
00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:08.400
And July, my wife, heard three hoops in succession coming

445
00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:12.559
from our next door neighbors stock And this was just

446
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:15.160
a few weeks before that last tree near the other

447
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:19.039
one was found the next morning, broken and pointing towards

448
00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:22.200
the house, which I have another picture of tree limb

449
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:28.200
that was. It must have been nine foot high and

450
00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:30.960
just snapped off and again pointed towards the house, and

451
00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:34.559
it was pretty good size. I've got trees out there

452
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:39.559
that are like six to eight inches in diameter twelve

453
00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:45.960
feet high that are broken over. And yeah, we when

454
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:48.559
we have a storm or a tornado or something, we

455
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:50.519
know which ones get broken because we got to go

456
00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:51.839
out there and pick them all up and clean it

457
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:55.680
all up. And this was several weeks after that. That

458
00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:00.799
does happened. Occasionally you'll hear something snap out there when

459
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:04.680
you're watching TV relaxing at night. But we've never seen

460
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:08.160
a bigfoot and we do not want to. We just

461
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:12.160
have a very creepy feeling. We just thought it was silly,

462
00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:16.759
but now it seems like a very likely possibility. We've

463
00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:21.799
also experienced a strong skunk like smell that lingers for hours,

464
00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:24.240
but we weren't sure if it was bigfoot or just

465
00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:29.640
a skunk. And now my life was a pretty good

466
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:34.359
sized garden. And the most recent things that we've experienced

467
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:37.680
I've been in the past two months, and I didn't

468
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:41.880
document them. I should have. I probably will and update

469
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:45.559
this information there. But when I target practice in the

470
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:48.240
backyard by forty.

471
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:52.160
Five, we'll be back with more bigfoot society. After these

472
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:57.839
words from our sponsors, there.

473
00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:03.400
Was a late aftern when I just finished target shooting

474
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:10.400
and I heard a yell, a guttural, atypical bigfoot sounding yell,

475
00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:13.480
and it was about who knows a quarter or eighth

476
00:30:13.519 --> 00:30:17.079
a mile away from the forest, coming from the forest,

477
00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:22.680
and it was like replying to my gunshots, like saying,

478
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:24.119
put that crap out?

479
00:30:24.359 --> 00:30:28.279
Can you when you say guttural yell? And I don't

480
00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:31.079
want to put words into your mouth.

481
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:33.000
But can it an invitation of it?

482
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:35.799
Or is it like when you hear like the long

483
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:38.920
drawn out one that kind of stuff.

484
00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:42.559
Like Ohio, yeah, I guess, but not sounding like a

485
00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:47.160
claxon alarm horn like that one does so much, just

486
00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:51.640
more almost like a almost like an elephant kind of thing.

487
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:55.200
And I thought, what could be turned to that? We

488
00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:58.000
don't have anything out here in East Texas that make

489
00:30:58.079 --> 00:31:01.759
sounds like that. We don't, Yeah, we just don't. She's

490
00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:04.079
got a pretty good sized garden, and she's got some

491
00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:08.559
hog panels that are formed up in a tunnel, which

492
00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:11.640
are about the top of it on the inside is

493
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:15.359
about seven feet tall from the ground. It's like a

494
00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:18.400
tube and you can walk inside it. She was growing

495
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:21.319
green beans in that and she noticed one day when

496
00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:23.480
she went in there, all the green beans were gone

497
00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:26.680
everyone on. They were just picked off. And the way

498
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:31.599
that this structure is made, the other foliage from rose

499
00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:38.160
bushes and other trees and things would conceal someone in there.

500
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:41.640
If someone or something went up in there and could

501
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:44.880
reach up and pluck those green beans and just eat

502
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:48.279
them because none were on the ground, then it would

503
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:52.279
be hidden. Especially at night, cars going by, I wouldn't

504
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:54.720
see it. No one would see it. It'd be inside there,

505
00:31:54.759 --> 00:31:58.279
just happily eating away. And we had an okra plant

506
00:31:58.680 --> 00:32:01.480
which had four okra pods on it. They were gone,

507
00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:04.880
and the ora plant, the stalk itself was ripped out

508
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:08.440
of the bed. And that's no small feet because I

509
00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:11.200
was thinking about three quarter of the inch. It takes

510
00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:14.440
a pretty strong man just to rip a full grown

511
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:17.400
opra plant out of the ground with both hands, and

512
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:19.960
it was just laid over after it was ripped out,

513
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:24.799
it was laid over. And we have a little fence

514
00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:27.000
we put up to keep rabbits out of the garden,

515
00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:32.759
a little metal plastic coated like a hog fence, decorative

516
00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:36.680
more or less. And there was a bend in the

517
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:39.279
top of it, like a V shaped bend or something

518
00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:44.279
had stepped into it and crimped it down. And then

519
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:47.519
the icing on the cake. And I got a picture

520
00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:50.720
of this I can send you later. My footprint in

521
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:54.640
the middle of one of the raised beds. And I

522
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:56.799
didn't have to take measure with me or a dollar

523
00:32:56.839 --> 00:32:59.359
bill or anything to photograph it for scale. I just

524
00:32:59.359 --> 00:33:01.519
took a picture with my phone and then I was

525
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:04.960
able to put my boot up against it without leaving

526
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:08.839
an impression, but just over an inch or so but

527
00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:13.400
next to it, and it's about a size ten in length,

528
00:33:13.680 --> 00:33:16.960
but extremely wide. I don't even know what with that

529
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:20.319
would be. It was like a normal foot and a

530
00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:23.960
half would be super wide. And then the big toe

531
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:27.440
was really big and around, and the other toes were long.

532
00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:30.880
But I'll send you that picture. And when I saw that,

533
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:33.599
freaking out, that was what sealed the deal. That was

534
00:33:33.920 --> 00:33:36.119
That was it that told me there's not going to

535
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:39.079
be some guy walking around with big, weird, wide feet,

536
00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:42.960
stepping in people's raised beds and eating their green beans

537
00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:47.640
and making these noises and it's just not going to happen.

538
00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:51.920
Even teenage kids are not going to be doing that,

539
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:54.440
especially at her in the country where they know they'll

540
00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:54.960
get shot.

541
00:33:56.440 --> 00:33:59.119
That's the thing is because in down in Texas is

542
00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:03.160
you don't just go messing around with someone's land because

543
00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:06.079
you know that everyone in Texas is ready to do

544
00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:07.279
what needs to be done.

545
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:12.239
That's oh yeah, Yeah. There's places I go in my

546
00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:14.960
job where I'm strapping out in public. You know, it's

547
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:20.320
just typical people strapping everywhere down here. Yeah, I think. Yeah,

548
00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:22.199
kids know that at an early age.

549
00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:25.440
Yeah, definitely. Yeah. I want to go back to a

550
00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:30.039
part that you mentioned where your wife had heard something

551
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:35.400
from the neighbor's property. Yeah, So, did she heard yells

552
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:38.440
or whoops or I didn't quite hear what she is?

553
00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:42.480
Yeah, she heard three. She heard three hoops and they

554
00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:48.039
were the atypic hoops. And the nearest she said she

555
00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:51.280
could figure was that it came from the neighbor's property.

556
00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:54.800
When things make a noise in the forest, they can

557
00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:57.960
echo any number of ways, and if it's got some

558
00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:01.800
pretty strong lungs and pushing out some force, it could

559
00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:06.760
echo off of who knows, especially on land that's not flat,

560
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:10.440
that we have a hollow back there. And we think

561
00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:15.280
from where we're positioned and where this park is, and

562
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:19.639
she's looked at Google Earth aerial shots that these things

563
00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:25.119
mainly reside in that park or that park because there's

564
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:29.280
no hunting all out there is. That's their refrigerator, that's

565
00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:33.159
their fully stocked freezer of meat, right, that's where all

566
00:35:33.159 --> 00:35:37.320
the beer are and they don't have anybody competing and

567
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:40.000
at night it's closed unless you're a camper in the

568
00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:43.639
camping areas, and there's not that many people camping there.

569
00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:47.280
So it's a great resource for them. But when the

570
00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:50.079
resources get depleted, or when they want to go get

571
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:55.440
fresh stream water from a natural spring, which we have

572
00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:58.679
a lot of springs out here where we are, or

573
00:35:58.719 --> 00:36:02.199
when they want to explore, when they want to have

574
00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:06.280
new ground. I don't know what it is, a territorial

575
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:09.320
exploratory thing or what they do, but when they come

576
00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:13.440
out to other areas, I believe they deplete those areas

577
00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:17.440
and they exhaust the resources, because, like I said, all

578
00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:22.800
the wildlife where on our property is gone nothing. And

579
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:27.440
I believe once they exhaust those food resources, then they

580
00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:30.679
go somewhere else and they may just circle around in

581
00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:33.599
a big circle, or they may go to different areas,

582
00:36:33.719 --> 00:36:37.320
or they may do a migratory pattern based on the weather.

583
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:39.840
When it gets really cold, they may go further south.

584
00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:43.760
But I really think it's we haven't heard anything in

585
00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:48.000
quite a while. We haven't had any weird feelings going

586
00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:51.039
out in the backyard or anything. The activity has gone

587
00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:54.239
down to nothing, and I believe it's directly related to

588
00:36:54.280 --> 00:37:01.519
the completed resources. And yeah, it's it's made me a believer.

589
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:04.079
And I haven't seen one. Like I said, I don't

590
00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:06.760
want to see one. I've talked to people that have

591
00:37:06.840 --> 00:37:10.800
had violent, aggressive encounters with them, that have been on

592
00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:14.280
other shows, and it's nice to have someone you can

593
00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:16.320
talk to that you don't feel like they're going to

594
00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:20.440
think you're nuts, and they'll fill in a lot of

595
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:24.599
blanks or they'll have the same exact experience in some ways,

596
00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:29.639
and it's refreshing. I think that just like we were doing,

597
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:32.800
I think most people do that they brush these things

598
00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:36.880
off their mind, wants to make sense of it and

599
00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:41.360
wants to put it in a box as something rational

600
00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:46.239
and normal and indigenous and natural, and so then they

601
00:37:46.280 --> 00:37:51.079
can let it go and move on to with their lives.

602
00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:56.880
But once you encounter these things and you start becoming aware,

603
00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:02.239
it changes your life. I won't go hunt by myself anymore.

604
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:04.960
If I do go hunt, I'm going to hunt with

605
00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:07.440
a buddy. And I sure ain't going to be out

606
00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:10.079
at night in the woods. Once it's like six six

607
00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:14.119
thirty seven, I'm not outside. I come in the house

608
00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:17.039
because it makes you realize that there's something out there.

609
00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:20.360
And I believe the increased frequency and the coverage of

610
00:38:20.440 --> 00:38:25.719
this with these podcasts and TV shows and videos on

611
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:31.559
YouTube and everything, are the direct result of habitation dwindling

612
00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:38.760
down as we encroach on their areas with more development, business,

613
00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:46.280
industrial subdivisions, schools, whatever, and they're running out of habitat.

614
00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:51.559
And as we are in now an era of instant

615
00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:59.800
video footage with phones, trail cams, drones, bodycams, dash cam,

616
00:39:01.039 --> 00:39:06.079
security cameras, all that, we're going to get more and

617
00:39:06.159 --> 00:39:10.800
more footage. But the conundrum is regardless of how much

618
00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:14.159
footage we get. No one's going to believe these things

619
00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:18.960
exist until somebody hits one with a semi or takes

620
00:39:18.960 --> 00:39:22.800
one out with a big bore, high caliber rifle and

621
00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:27.599
manages to hang on to the body before whoever the

622
00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:30.599
forces that be decided to come and take it.

623
00:39:31.360 --> 00:39:36.000
Your neighbors. Have you ever asked your neighbors or talked

624
00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:39.639
to them about the subject or said, hey, you guys,

625
00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:40.440
ever are Yeah?

626
00:39:40.519 --> 00:39:44.760
Recently, recently I talked to the old lady who has

627
00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:50.159
a stock pond next to us, and I'll describe this situation,

628
00:39:50.280 --> 00:39:54.000
and you tell me what you think. Her husband passed away. Okay,

629
00:39:54.280 --> 00:39:57.360
let's go back when he was still alive. They moved

630
00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:04.440
out here in her early sixties, nineteen sixties, and they

631
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:08.920
heard weird noises coming from the woods behind them, and

632
00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:12.719
they just never thought much of it. He said, that's

633
00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:17.039
your son animal. After he passed away, she was out

634
00:40:17.039 --> 00:40:21.480
here by herself, and she heard noises and screams and

635
00:40:21.519 --> 00:40:25.519
other weird sounds and things. But I noticed when we

636
00:40:25.559 --> 00:40:31.880
moved out here about six years ago, that she was

637
00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:34.760
not at her house very often. That she's usually with

638
00:40:34.880 --> 00:40:39.519
her kids in another city and leaves her house and

639
00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:42.000
has people come in and check on her house in

640
00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:47.719
the daytime and has a dog. It's in a cage outside,

641
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:52.320
but it's a fully boxed in cage, roofsides, everything. It's

642
00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:55.679
like a kennel cage and they feed it and I

643
00:40:55.679 --> 00:40:58.159
guess they let it out sometimes. I don't know. I've

644
00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:01.599
never seen it outside. That cage was that she was

645
00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:06.440
telling me. She said, yeah, be sure, She said, I

646
00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:09.519
totally believe you when I told her about what I've

647
00:41:09.559 --> 00:41:10.920
been here, and I asked her, I said, have you

648
00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:13.800
ever heard anything weird? And she said, yeah, we've heard

649
00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:18.360
lots of weird noises coming out there, yells and screams

650
00:41:18.480 --> 00:41:21.719
and sound like a woman screaming and all kinds of stuff.

651
00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:25.119
And I told her pretty much everything I've told you,

652
00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:29.679
and she said, I believe that there's something out there,

653
00:41:29.800 --> 00:41:31.880
said but don't tell anybody if you ever want to

654
00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:33.800
sell your house, or you won't be able to sell it.

655
00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:36.239
And it makes me wonder if that was what she

656
00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:40.199
had happened to her when her husband passed. I don't know.

657
00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:45.000
It's just very strange. You won't see her out there

658
00:41:46.440 --> 00:41:49.199
when the sun starts going down. You only see her

659
00:41:49.239 --> 00:41:53.440
in the mornings. And in the afternoons, if at all,

660
00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:57.719
and not very often, and we've occasionally. We have a

661
00:41:57.760 --> 00:42:01.239
window on the end of our house and you can

662
00:42:01.280 --> 00:42:06.280
watch TV and see the light reflecting from inside onto

663
00:42:06.360 --> 00:42:09.119
the glass for the most part until you turn the

664
00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:11.000
light off, and then when you turn the light off,

665
00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:15.679
you can or see out through that window. And occasionally

666
00:42:16.199 --> 00:42:19.559
myself and my wife have seen something like a black

667
00:42:19.599 --> 00:42:23.559
shadow just move real quickly across the bottom corner of

668
00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:27.480
that window, like something was peeking in and jumped back

669
00:42:27.760 --> 00:42:30.079
as soon as we looked over at it. And it

670
00:42:30.199 --> 00:42:33.679
makes me think, yeah, before it went over to the garden,

671
00:42:33.760 --> 00:42:35.880
that's where it was looking, and it got curious and

672
00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:39.079
watches us, and it makes noise and tries to get

673
00:42:39.119 --> 00:42:43.360
people to come outside, And yeah, I think they're I

674
00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:46.840
think they're curious. I think they're older than humans. I

675
00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:52.239
think they're curious. They're territorial. I think that they're omnivorous.

676
00:42:53.079 --> 00:42:58.039
I think there's different variations of them depending where you

677
00:42:58.159 --> 00:43:03.480
are geographically climate wise. I think that they when people

678
00:43:03.519 --> 00:43:05.920
see a footprint on the ground and there's no others

679
00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:09.400
around it, I think that they're using trees. I also

680
00:43:09.440 --> 00:43:13.519
think that they step back into their footprints, an old

681
00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:16.880
trick Native Americans have been doing for thousands of years

682
00:43:16.920 --> 00:43:21.079
when hunting, so they can conceal where they're going. I

683
00:43:21.119 --> 00:43:24.639
think they're not as smart as humans, but they're smarter

684
00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:30.519
than chimpanzees or great apes. I don't know that they

685
00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:32.320
have a language. I don't believe in any of the

686
00:43:33.559 --> 00:43:38.280
wu where they have portals and minds speak and all

687
00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:41.000
that kind of stuff. I think they're primates, but I

688
00:43:41.039 --> 00:43:46.719
think they're very smart, and I think that gives them

689
00:43:46.719 --> 00:43:52.400
the ability to hide and stay hidden very well. I

690
00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:55.639
think that they are responsible for the thousands of people

691
00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:59.360
that are missing about a trace throughout our parks. I

692
00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:03.199
think that if you panic and run when people have

693
00:44:03.280 --> 00:44:07.280
seen them, it triggers a predator response in them to pursue.

694
00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:11.639
I think if people have a certain sense on them,

695
00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:17.199
it could attract them. I think they may have individualized

696
00:44:17.840 --> 00:44:22.039
behaviors and attitudes. Like people. You have some that are

697
00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:25.000
jerks and some that are psychopaths, some that are nice.

698
00:44:25.159 --> 00:44:28.199
And I think when they run across a bad one,

699
00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:32.599
and I think they're very short tempered. Chimpanzees are also

700
00:44:32.800 --> 00:44:36.239
very short tempered. I think there's a lot in common

701
00:44:36.280 --> 00:44:40.880
with chimpanzees, and the ones in Texas that people see

702
00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:46.159
are described as being like big chimpanzees with small ears.

703
00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:50.199
We'll be back with more bigfoot society after these words

704
00:44:50.199 --> 00:44:51.960
from our sponsors.

705
00:44:55.679 --> 00:45:03.079
Over developed lasts, broad shoulders, and instead of hands for

706
00:45:03.079 --> 00:45:08.639
feet like chimps, after just feet. I think it's another

707
00:45:09.119 --> 00:45:13.239
undiscovered species and people are like, oh, there's no such thing. Yeah,

708
00:45:13.360 --> 00:45:14.599
you never know, folks.

709
00:45:14.760 --> 00:45:20.440
It's wild stuff. And we're keeping your area very vague.

710
00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:24.480
So I know a little bit more right because we

711
00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:28.159
were talking before. And have you done a Google search

712
00:45:28.360 --> 00:45:30.440
on your town yet?

713
00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:31.199
No?

714
00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:35.760
Not really you need to because there are multiple reports

715
00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:42.079
of sightings in your area from different not just BFRO,

716
00:45:42.360 --> 00:45:46.320
but other resources from over the years where they're been

717
00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:52.800
individuals that have actually seen bigfoots footback in and I

718
00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:56.400
want to say, very carefully, I will say a decade

719
00:45:56.440 --> 00:46:01.079
of the seventies. I think that's I can that's pretty

720
00:46:01.239 --> 00:46:05.480
that could cover anywhere. Yeah, but yeah they're multi borrow

721
00:46:05.719 --> 00:46:10.280
side yep, And yeah, so I would, and I can

722
00:46:10.320 --> 00:46:14.440
give you more info after we're done recording. Okay, it's

723
00:46:14.920 --> 00:46:20.079
coupling that with what you've told me. It's you got

724
00:46:20.119 --> 00:46:23.800
something going on, man, you have trail cams up around

725
00:46:23.800 --> 00:46:25.880
your property. I think you mentioned.

726
00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:29.360
Yeah, yeah, and I've never gotten anything on the trail cam.

727
00:46:29.599 --> 00:46:34.599
I've gotten weird light phenomenon, but that could be a

728
00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:38.119
bird going by. I don't jump to the factor and say, oh,

729
00:46:38.119 --> 00:46:41.400
it was a portal opening. Yeah, it was a UFO

730
00:46:41.679 --> 00:46:43.679
taking the Bigfoot back to Mars.

731
00:46:43.800 --> 00:46:47.360
You know, like orbs or anything like that around your property.

732
00:46:47.800 --> 00:46:54.599
Yeah, okay, no, no, but yeah, it's I'm just I'm

733
00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:58.760
just glad, extremely grateful that all of that has died

734
00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:01.760
down and stopped and gone.

735
00:47:01.880 --> 00:47:04.440
And I hope if it's gone, I hope it doesn't

736
00:47:04.440 --> 00:47:09.119
come back. I really do, because it's an unsettling feeling

737
00:47:09.159 --> 00:47:11.840
to be scared to go out into your yard night,

738
00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:16.000
or when you're coming from the store and you're unloading

739
00:47:16.039 --> 00:47:18.559
the car of groceries and you feel like you've got

740
00:47:18.599 --> 00:47:23.199
to race in every load, and you just have a creepy,

741
00:47:23.960 --> 00:47:27.960
ominous feeling that you're going to be attacked by something.

742
00:47:28.639 --> 00:47:33.280
It's yeah, that's not good. So I got a fifty caliber.

743
00:47:34.079 --> 00:47:37.360
I got a couple of fifty caliber rifles and some

744
00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:43.039
forty fives, And you think target practicing shooting out the

745
00:47:43.039 --> 00:47:45.280
backyard will be enough to keep the things out the

746
00:47:45.400 --> 00:47:49.719
term them, but apparently it didn't. It just makes them mad.

747
00:47:49.920 --> 00:47:53.159
But I think when they deplete their resources, they move along.

748
00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:56.599
Yeah, I hopeful, And it sounds like it might be

749
00:47:56.639 --> 00:47:59.599
getting to that point on your property if you haven't

750
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:03.400
seen any any animals recently, but have you considered, do

751
00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:08.840
you have any audio recorders or you probably know? I

752
00:48:08.920 --> 00:48:10.559
want evidence you.

753
00:48:11.039 --> 00:48:14.360
And I encourage, well, I discourage anyone rather that wants

754
00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:16.599
to go out that lives out in East Texas. Don't

755
00:48:16.639 --> 00:48:19.320
go out and make calls on your own property. If

756
00:48:19.320 --> 00:48:22.360
you're going to do bigfoot calls and hoops and howls,

757
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:26.960
go do it out somewhere way out in an area

758
00:48:27.039 --> 00:48:31.000
that's not habited. If you want to hear them respond back,

759
00:48:31.480 --> 00:48:35.280
which I don't recommend because I think what it does

760
00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:37.960
it makes them curious. If they hear that makes them curious,

761
00:48:37.960 --> 00:48:40.480
then they come in to see what made that sound,

762
00:48:40.559 --> 00:48:45.480
and then if they find resources that are good for them,

763
00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:49.960
they're liable to stick around. And Yeah, it was just

764
00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:52.920
a bad move on my part to do that. I'm

765
00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:53.800
not doing that again.

766
00:48:54.280 --> 00:48:59.800
Yeah, it's tricky because we just don't know what that means. Yeah,

767
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:03.000
it's a good point you bring up. Don't do it

768
00:49:03.039 --> 00:49:07.119
on your own property if you don't want them hanging around.

769
00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:10.800
Yeah, don't let investigators do it if if they want

770
00:49:10.800 --> 00:49:13.960
to come investigate on your properties, they don't live there.

771
00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:18.519
They don't care what happens after that. But yeah, I've

772
00:49:18.559 --> 00:49:23.559
met people through other podcasts that I plan to go

773
00:49:24.239 --> 00:49:30.119
to Oklahoma to some casino dumpsters at night with a

774
00:49:30.159 --> 00:49:35.519
certain group of individuals inside a safe, a big vehicle

775
00:49:36.039 --> 00:49:39.400
and observe what they have observed, which are these things

776
00:49:39.800 --> 00:49:43.320
rushing through the dumpsters and eating out of the grease traps,

777
00:49:43.559 --> 00:49:47.199
and their supposed video footage of it. It's the really

778
00:49:47.239 --> 00:49:49.800
good stuff. That's a fascinating thing is the really good

779
00:49:49.920 --> 00:49:54.480
video is not featured on social media. It's like someone

780
00:49:55.320 --> 00:49:57.320
deletes it or won't allow it to be a poster

781
00:49:57.440 --> 00:49:58.880
or what have you. And so you get a lot

782
00:49:58.880 --> 00:50:02.400
of these disinformation videos, as I call them, where it's

783
00:50:02.519 --> 00:50:04.440
questionable at best, or.

784
00:50:04.639 --> 00:50:08.519
Like that actual video has disappeared. Yeah, I know exactly

785
00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:09.320
what you're talking.

786
00:50:09.119 --> 00:50:13.239
About, yep. And I want to I want to see

787
00:50:13.280 --> 00:50:18.480
one just so I can allay that curiosity. But at

788
00:50:18.480 --> 00:50:22.559
the same time, I'm afraid to see it because then

789
00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:24.400
I'm afraid I won't be looking at it unsee it.

790
00:50:24.440 --> 00:50:25.760
I won't be looking at it out of my head.

791
00:50:26.239 --> 00:50:29.760
And it's such a shock to people who have seen

792
00:50:29.800 --> 00:50:32.880
them and have had encounters with them, especially up close

793
00:50:33.199 --> 00:50:38.079
and aggressive, that it traumatizes them. It leaves them with

794
00:50:38.239 --> 00:50:44.679
PTSD and some have severe alcohol and drug abuse issues

795
00:50:44.760 --> 00:50:47.440
that arise afterwards just from trying to self medicate and

796
00:50:47.480 --> 00:50:50.880
deal with it. So on one hand, I don't want

797
00:50:50.880 --> 00:50:53.599
to see one, but on the other hand, I'm torn,

798
00:50:54.280 --> 00:50:56.119
but I'm sure not going to do anything that will

799
00:50:56.119 --> 00:50:58.960
attract the people. Got to watch that too. If you

800
00:50:59.039 --> 00:51:03.719
have over food, don't throw it out there in your backyard.

801
00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:07.079
He's thinking that the raccoons and hogs or whatever are

802
00:51:07.119 --> 00:51:09.880
going to come clean it up. Don't do that. These

803
00:51:09.880 --> 00:51:15.960
are opportunistic animals. They will find food resources available and

804
00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:19.719
take advantage of it, and to my understanding, it becomes

805
00:51:19.719 --> 00:51:22.840
a regular, expected thing, and then you're going to have

806
00:51:22.920 --> 00:51:26.800
problems when you stop doing it. Also think if they

807
00:51:26.840 --> 00:51:30.920
were recognized and acknowledged, which they haven't been yet, it

808
00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:34.559
would create way too much trouble, way too much problems.

809
00:51:34.679 --> 00:51:39.360
I think the Department of the Interior and the US

810
00:51:39.480 --> 00:51:45.760
Parks and Wildlife Service have a strong, ongoing clandestine campaign

811
00:51:45.840 --> 00:51:50.159
to assure that doesn't happen. Also, there would be tons

812
00:51:50.159 --> 00:51:53.800
of lawsuits for all those people that vanished mysteriously without

813
00:51:53.800 --> 00:51:54.280
a trace.

814
00:51:54.760 --> 00:51:55.360
It could get.

815
00:51:57.639 --> 00:52:01.960
Yeah, it could get very, very bad. They're like, well, yeah,

816
00:52:02.480 --> 00:52:05.559
nothing to see here, folks don't talk about it. I'll see.

817
00:52:05.639 --> 00:52:08.840
Yeah, but I agree with you. I think the government

818
00:52:09.199 --> 00:52:11.599
knows a little bit more than they're letting on, for sure.

819
00:52:11.760 --> 00:52:14.599
So yeah, yeah.

820
00:52:14.400 --> 00:52:19.320
Anything that's weird unusual. The military industrial complex wants to

821
00:52:19.440 --> 00:52:22.880
adopt it and use it for some military application. I

822
00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:26.920
think that's been the same situation with the UAPs or UFOs.

823
00:52:27.239 --> 00:52:30.079
They don't want if it's some technology that they can

824
00:52:30.119 --> 00:52:34.519
adopt a military use for superiority. Yeah, and I've heard

825
00:52:34.519 --> 00:52:39.239
that as well with the sasquads, that they'd look into

826
00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:43.400
the possibility of using it to make some super soldiers.

827
00:52:43.840 --> 00:52:47.159
I don't know how much truth there is to that.

828
00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:51.840
I could see exploring its genetics, maybe to do some

829
00:52:51.920 --> 00:52:57.000
genetic modifications to humans with their genetics, or to see

830
00:52:57.599 --> 00:53:01.480
what comprises it, what makes it what it is, It's strength,

831
00:53:01.599 --> 00:53:06.519
because apparently these things have unbelievable strength. Like I said,

832
00:53:06.519 --> 00:53:10.199
the trees that I've got are broken. It would take

833
00:53:10.360 --> 00:53:16.599
machinery to do that, or several people using machinery to

834
00:53:16.719 --> 00:53:20.559
do that, hand hand leverage and things like that to

835
00:53:20.599 --> 00:53:23.320
do it. And I ain't seen anybody back at in

836
00:53:23.480 --> 00:53:28.639
my property. It is doing it covertly and quickly. It'll

837
00:53:28.679 --> 00:53:30.800
make you not want to go in the wood.

838
00:53:31.679 --> 00:53:36.400
Absolutely, Mike, you definitely you got some weird stuff going on.

839
00:53:36.679 --> 00:53:40.239
Please keep me in the loop with what you got

840
00:53:40.280 --> 00:53:44.039
going on there. You probably haven't heard the last weird thing,

841
00:53:44.159 --> 00:53:47.400
but I hope I know. Well, yeah, that's true. But

842
00:53:48.320 --> 00:53:51.159
if you happen to hear something else, let me know.

843
00:53:51.360 --> 00:53:55.679
But I appreciate you reaching out to me, and yeah,

844
00:53:56.159 --> 00:54:00.840
hopefully this is it. And sometimes it happens, they just

845
00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:04.119
go away and you can maybe put up a few

846
00:54:04.119 --> 00:54:06.159
more trail cams and you won't have to worry about it.

847
00:54:06.199 --> 00:54:10.760
But that seems yeah, And I recommend, I recommend anybody

848
00:54:10.800 --> 00:54:14.440
having any of these situations that doesn't want this to happen,

849
00:54:14.519 --> 00:54:18.159
go get some motion activated solar powered lights.

850
00:54:18.280 --> 00:54:20.880
Oh yeah, you can get them at Walmart. Stick those

851
00:54:20.920 --> 00:54:26.280
along your property where just at the edge of where

852
00:54:26.280 --> 00:54:29.559
you're having them come in where you're having activity, and

853
00:54:29.599 --> 00:54:32.519
that's helped that. I guess it's helped that. Sure hadn't

854
00:54:33.400 --> 00:54:38.760
increased it. Sure have lights and don't throw any food out,

855
00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:42.400
don't put any apples out. If you do have, gosh,

856
00:54:42.559 --> 00:54:45.440
just keep it to deer corn. I've heard that they

857
00:54:45.440 --> 00:54:48.679
eat that too, but they're less attractive to that than

858
00:54:48.719 --> 00:54:51.440
they are to other things that people put out sometimes

859
00:54:51.480 --> 00:54:55.480
and dear fears, anything that's like to lure hogs or

860
00:54:55.480 --> 00:54:58.920
whatever that can be more attractive to them. Yeah, and

861
00:54:59.079 --> 00:55:02.079
just a part of me too that believes in what

862
00:55:02.119 --> 00:55:04.920
the Native Americans say and that leave them alone, they'll

863
00:55:05.000 --> 00:55:09.239
leave you alone. You don't call them, you don't make noises,

864
00:55:09.599 --> 00:55:11.800
you don't put things out there, you don't give you

865
00:55:11.800 --> 00:55:16.519
don't put food out there. And if you do see one,

866
00:55:16.760 --> 00:55:20.679
don't freak out panic and run, just keep your eye

867
00:55:20.719 --> 00:55:24.280
on it and walk away and get to a safe place.

868
00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:27.320
Because Yeah, I don't think there's any magic. I think

869
00:55:27.320 --> 00:55:34.800
they're just big, dangerous, scary, unclassified, undiscovered primates that we

870
00:55:34.880 --> 00:55:39.639
have here in North America that eventually will be revealed

871
00:55:40.519 --> 00:55:44.079
and classified. And it's going to be interesting when that

872
00:55:44.199 --> 00:55:44.880
day comes.

873
00:55:45.280 --> 00:55:51.000
Absolutely, Mike, I appreciate you chatting tonight. It has been

874
00:55:51.559 --> 00:55:54.400
a fun discussion. I do want to talk to you

875
00:55:54.559 --> 00:55:56.960
a little bit more, but I do want to have

876
00:55:57.000 --> 00:56:02.440
that off the recorded and just to keep privacy about

877
00:56:02.440 --> 00:56:05.519
your location. But thank you so much for chatting tonight, Mike.

878
00:56:06.119 --> 00:56:08.639
Oh, thank you very much for having me. I appreciate it. It

879
00:56:08.719 --> 00:56:13.159
always makes you feel a little better to express yet

880
00:56:13.199 --> 00:56:17.800
that out without fear of someone saying you're nuts.

881
00:56:17.880 --> 00:56:21.360
Yeah, not here, don't worry about that, all right, Thank.

882
00:56:21.159 --> 00:56:21.519
You, Mike.
