of talking to individual. His name is Jason. Jason was

15
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:50.079
actually just on the show pretty recently talking about a

16
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:55.399
citing he had that was over there, crossed from Astoria, Oregon,

17
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:58.679
but on the Washington side, and that was just back

18
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:01.960
in episode six oh one. I got an interesting email

19
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:08.239
where it was actually some of Jason's neighbors that reached

20
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:11.719
out and said, hey, reach out to Jason because he's

21
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.200
got other stuff to talk about that he's holding back

22
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:16.799
on maybe, so I was like, all right, I'll give

23
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:19.200
it a try. So it's a first for the show.

24
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.200
You never know who's listening. But Jason is a privileged

25

to have you back on, and I'm excited to hear

26
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:28.719
what else you have experienced over the years.

27
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:31.879
Yeah on the problems, Hey, I'm going to just lay

28
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:34.319
out the story and tell you what happened, and pretty

29
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:35.239
much she could make.

30
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:36.680
Up your own mind as to what it was.

31
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.319
Me and my father and my best friend lives in Spoke,

32
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:41.159
Caan Dean.

33
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:43.040
We decided one season.

34
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:44.840
That we were going to buy some non resident Idaho

35
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.359
elk tags and I'll go over to Idaho bo hunting.

36
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:52.239
So that's exactly what we did. My dad and my best.

37
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:54.959
Friend we got together and smoked cane, bought our tags,

38
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.560
and headed over to a spot my buddy knew, which is.

39
00:01:58.239 --> 00:01:59.959
Right over in chill All, Idaho.

40
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.640
And so we traveled up Montgomery Gulch, which is on

41
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.920
the north side of Tellog there right out of town,

42
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.599
and went up about now I don't know, ten miles

43
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:13.199
up to the top of the peak of the ridge

44
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.199
and camped out and we're going to hell come from

45
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:17.960
there a couple of days went by and we found

46
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.719
a really good ridge that had some elk that were

47
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.360
bugling and whatnot, and decided we would hike down the

48
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:26.599
back side of this ridge. And the country was just

49
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:29.280
really rugged on each side, and the backside it dropped

50
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.719
down to the Quarterlaine River on the backside, and we've

51
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:33.479
been getting into some milk, so we decided we were

52
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:35.319
going to go and follow this ridge all the way

53
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:37.759
down miles down to the river. So we got down

54
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.240
to this really beautiful spot and we're getting into some

55
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:42.520
elk and a little saddle on the top of this

56
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.719
ridge and my friend called in some elk. We had

57
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:48.240
a big bowl coming in from behind, and so the

58
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.479
very first elk the show up was a cow elk

59
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.680
and you could shoot either sex. So I shot it

60
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:56.479
with my bow and got pretty excited and didn't really

61
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.120
care about the ant was at the time. So I

62
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.240
shot this elk and then so wed and went and

63
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:04.240
found the elk and started packing out the elk and everything,

64
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:06.039
and we didn't have any ribbons. So my buddy said

65
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:07.599
he I want you to mark this spot, and so

66
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:09.960
all I had was a dime. So we put the

67
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:13.800
dime down and we forever called the spot the dime spot.

68
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:16.240
So we packed out this elk and it was miles

69
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.240
down in this ridge line. So we boned the elk out,

70
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:20.960
which is each take the meat off the bones and

71
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:22.560
throw him in your pack, and it's a lot lighter.

72
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:25.240
So we packed out this elk. I was bombed.

73
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:27.039
Because I wanted to take a nice bowl over there,

74
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:29.800
but I'd already shot and killed my elk, and my

75
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.520
friend said, hey, if you got another seven hundred bucks,

76
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:35.280
you can buy another non resident elk tag there if

77
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.159
you want. So down to the store we went, and

78
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.719
I bought another elk tag for all whole non resident,

79
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:43.400
and the next day we went back to the same

80
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:45.680
exact spot where I'd laid the dime down, and the

81
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.360
elk were calling again, and it was my turn to call,

82
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.520
so I started calling for my friend, and first elk

83
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.800
that came in was a big spike, and he shot

84
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.759
it and it went right over the edge and died

85
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.840
within probably one hundred feet or so where the other

86
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.479
how that I shot had died. And so we packed

87
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.520
this elk out and my frame wasn't given by another tag,

88
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:09.719
and the very next day we decided that we were

89
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.159
going to hunt this same exact ridge. It had just

90
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.280
been on fire. So we went down and started calling,

91
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:17.800
and we went down to where this we shot these

92
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.800
other two elk, and we got into somewhere elk and

93
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:23.839
we started walking around, and all of a sudden, my.

94
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.399
Buddy said, hey, isn't this you shot your elk right here?

95
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:28.480
Where's all the stuff out from your elk? Where's all

96
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:29.480
the bones and everything?

97
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.600
And we started looking around and there was no bones,

98
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:34.480
no elk, hide, no nothing anymore. And we just thought

99
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:36.959
that was strange, and I go, well, where's your elk?

100
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:38.839
A well, you shot, let's be looking at it. So

101
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:41.079
we went the other one hundred and fifty feet away

102
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.560
and found the spot where he shot his elk, and

103
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:47.040
to our disbelief, his entire carcass was gone, and the

104
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.639
hides were gone and everything, and just not a trace

105
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:51.800
of what was going on. Was hot man, there must

106
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:53.759
be a big bear or something here. Maybe we should

107
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:55.839
hunt this for bear and sit over one of these.

108
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:59.240
And so we continued hunting a little bit and came

109
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.319
back up to the sea exact spot where I'd laid

110
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:03.639
the dime down on, and my buddy called in a

111
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:07.199
nice bowl and I shot it. So we went over

112
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:10.120
to it and we took the head, which was pretty typical,

113
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:12.639
and my buddy packed out a front shoulder and we

114
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.000
decided we'd go back to camp, grabbed my dad and

115
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:15.800
head back.

116
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.279
To this elk and get the rest of it.

117
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.360
So we went back to camp rab my dad told

118
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:22.680
him what was going on, and we left all of

119
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:25.199
our stuff there except for our packs, our guns and bows,

120
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.240
and we left it all at camp and we hiked

121
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:31.319
back into the spot. We got about one hundred yards

122
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:35.240
from where my elk was laying, and we were traversing

123
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:39.839
down this hill which was just unbelievably steep, and my

124
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.480
buddy all of a sudden grabs me and he looks

125
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:45.040
at all weird, and he says, did you hear that?

126
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:47.399
And I stopped for a second. I could hear some

127
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.839
crows or ravens in the background, and I said, what

128
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:53.199
do you evening the ravens? And my dad was like,

129
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.240
had this disbelief flip on his face too, and he said, listen,

130
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:00.160
and you heard from a processed canyon, maybe about two

131
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:02.800
and a half miles away, you could hear what we

132
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.240
thought someone screaming, and it sounded like get.

133
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:10.000
Out of here, and Betty's what is he talking about?

134
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:12.160
Is that? And I'm like, I don't sound like a person?

135
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:14.079
What do you say? And my dad goes, get out of.

136
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.079
Here is where he was yelling, and we were like,

137
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:18.560
wellbody goes what we're in the national forest.

138
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:20.879
Nobody can tell us where we can hunt? Is what

139
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.519
is going on? And so we just played it off

140
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:24.560
for a second and.

141
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:29.240
Stood there, and maybe about a half mile closer, we

142
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:33.959
hear the same just gigantic, get guy, you know, but

143
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:35.879
it doesn't quite sound to go out of here, but

144
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.959
just about like that, just as loud as can be.

145
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:41.759
But this time it's a half mile closer, and we

146
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:43.879
just stood there and everyone's what is going on?

147
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:46.000
Is that a person? What is that?

148
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:48.920
And then you heard what appeared to be snapping of

149
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:52.240
just huge trees and rocks and shale slides coming down

150
00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:55.000
the other side of this hill, which immediately made all

151
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:57.360
of his hair stand up, and we all started paying

152
00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:59.519
attention as to what was going on.

153
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:04.079
This animal had already gained a mile coming down this hill, something.

154
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.839
That would take you all dayd tra Verse was already

155
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:12.079
down a mile and was yelling again, but this tilement

156
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:13.839
just was just rolling through.

157
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:15.680
The canyon and a mile away, and we were like.

158
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.240
It's that two different things. And my buddy was like,

159
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:20.959
what is going on? And then you hear all these

160
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:24.439
trees and shale slide and everything just rumbling down the hillside.

161
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:26.839
And now it's at the bottom of this canyon. Now

162
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:30.439
it's covered maybe two miles of the steepest terrain in

163
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.439
the world, and it's yelling from the bottom of this canyon,

164
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.759
maybe five hundred yards away from us now, and it

165
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.680
just starts yelling again, and now it's so loud that

166
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.399
we all just run, all three of us ran far

167
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:45.240
lives up the top of this hill and you can

168
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.959
hear this thing breaking trees and branches and just flying

169
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:52.639
up the hill and yelling the most monstrous sound you've

170
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:56.680
ever heard. That sounded like get And so we all

171
00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:58.639
got out of it as quick as I could. Everyone

172
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:02.040
was scared to death. Nobody wanted to be left behind.

173
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:04.879
If you fell behind for just a second running up

174
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.879
these hills, you were just do whatever it took to

175
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:09.920
get past the next guy, because no one wanted to

176
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:11.959
be in the back. We got back in the truck

177
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:14.800
and discussed what we could possibly do. We went back

178
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:17.959
to camp, and my buddy's like, well, let's just get

179
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:20.800
my dan, grab your bowl, we'll go back in there.

180
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:23.040
We'll recover this out. And we just could not figure

181
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:23.319
it out.

182
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:25.519
We thought that has got to be a big foot

183
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:28.360
or something has came to those elk you shot.

184
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:29.839
This is just not believable.

185
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:32.600
So we went back with guns and bars, and we

186
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:35.879
walked back down into that spot. It was just dead, silent,

187
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.919
no elk calling, no sounds anymore. And we get down

188
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:42.519
to where the elk is and there's no elk anymore.

189
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.360
It's completely vanished. Three quarters of an elk, four or

190
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.360
five hundred pounds of carcass is completely gone. There's no

191
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:53.639
drag marks of any kind the elk, there's no blood

192
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:59.200
leaving the trail. The elk is just completely gone, vanish whatsoever.

193
00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:01.960
I know there's some grizzly bears in that area, but

194
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:03.679
I've never heard of a.

195
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:04.960
Grizzly bear yelling from.

196
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:09.799
Canyons away something that's audibly almost like a human. Nor

197
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.279
do I believe a grizzly bear could pack a five

198
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:15.840
hundred pound elk without leaving some blood or some type

199
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:19.759
of marks there. We all discussed it, and we from

200
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:22.000
that day on, we just all believed that was one

201
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:25.639
percent had to be a sasquatch and from the other

202
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:28.120
elk that we had shot there and been deburoning that

203
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:30.919
the carcass were missing, that it had came in from

204
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.039
those other elk. It must have been right in the area,

205
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:36.600
and we didn't found the third elk almost complete. It

206
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:39.840
had claimed it and sat above us in this huge

207
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.039
ridge on the thickest of timber two miles away, and

208
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:44.879
knew that it could hear as we were coming. And

209
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:47.000
when it did, it scared us out of there completely

210
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.799
and ran us out of there, and so the elk was.

211
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:52.159
Gone, no more of the elk.

212
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:53.960
I had already put the tag on the antlas, So

213
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:57.440
I then drove back to Washington, pretty disappointed that I

214
00:09:57.519 --> 00:09:59.360
only had a little bit of.

215
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:00.759
Meat and the from my cow.

216
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:05.279
But it was one one thing that just could not

217
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.639
be explained that what had happened to us, And to

218
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:09.799
this day we all know it was a big foot

219
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:10.320
for sure.

220
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:14.320
And that's the story. It was pretty pretty wild, pretty.

221
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:18.480
Crazy, Jason, That's probably one of the most intense hunting

222
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:21.519
accounts I've gotten so far on this podcast. Like that

223
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:26.120
is wild, dude, what year was that, you know, that.

224
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:29.679
Was probably It's been about probably ten or twelve years.

225
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:32.320
And I hadn't really told that story to anybody except

226
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:33.639
for my neighbors are.

227
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:35.919
In on the Bigfoot society. They listened to you all

228
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:36.360
the time.

229
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.639
And when I after they heard my story, I said, yeah,

230
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.320
but there's another story I have in Idaho where this thing.

231
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:45.039
Took my elkin stared us out of them.

232
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:46.840
When I got done telling them that story, they were like,

233
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:49.519
you've got to tell that story. I'm like, why, don't

234
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:51.879
want to sell like a psycho or nothing. Just I've

235
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:53.919
had these accounters. I did not see it, none of

236
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:56.919
us seeing that animal, but nobody was going to stick around,

237
00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:00.000
not for a second, to find out what was smashed

238
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:00.679
up this hill.

239
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.000
It was a very large animal, the.

240
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:06.360
Size of a thousand pounds at least to be making

241
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:09.720
that kind of racket and snapping the trees and everything else.

242
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:10.159
It was.

243
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:14.039
The hillside where it came from was just as remoters

244
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:16.519
could be. It was two and a half three mile

245
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:19.360
long hillside. It was almost straight up and down as

246
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:21.840
brushy as can be. We chased elk in there, and

247
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:25.159
it was an entire day's adventure to make halfway up

248
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.159
the hill. How this thing came down the entire hill

249
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.679
to the canyon and then up the other side in

250
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:32.960
that kind of time frame. There's no way any kind

251
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:36.200
of bear could cover miles in just seconds like that.

252
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:37.919
So I figured it would be a good idea to

253
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.960
tell that story, because I'm absolutely sure with the vocalization

254
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:44.360
that it was doing, the yelling and screaming that just

255
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:49.360
echoed through the canyons, almost human but almost inaudible to

256
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.840
what you know. You couldn't quite make out exactly what

257
00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:53.440
it was, but it sounded.

258
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.519
Just like get out of air. But it was a

259
00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:58.919
monstrous voice. And so we all talk about it to

260
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.879
this day. Everybody in camp. We tell that story once

261
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:02.360
in a while.

262
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:05.000
But it was an unbelievable thing, especially with the entire

263
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:09.440
elk being completely gone, all the carcasses being gone without

264
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.200
a trace, not a hair one leaving there.

265
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:17.759
Well, first off, shout out to your neighbors for reaching out.

266
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:20.720
You guys are awesome, and I've been talking to them

267
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:24.279
through email a little bit. Man there, this is such

268
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:28.759
a weird one because it's as you said, it was

269
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:33.879
able to cover a massive amount of territory extremely quickly

270
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:36.480
and have you ever heard anything that was the same

271
00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:37.919
volume roughly as.

272
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:41.360
Nothing like this? This thing was rolling. It was two

273
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:43.879
and a half miles away. The canyon were real steep,

274
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:47.960
and we were across from it, so we were maybe

275
00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:50.200
a mile and a half from this point, and it

276
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.159
was just so louded, just boomed through the canyons and

277
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:57.080
it was a monstrous hair standing on the back of

278
00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:00.559
your neck sound. And it sounded like a person yelling

279
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:04.039
get at it here, but it was not quite that.

280
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:06.200
But at first thought it was like, did he just

281
00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:08.039
tell to me, yelling get out of here?

282
00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:10.720
And it was just when it got closer, it was

283
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:11.759
just anchoing.

284
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:13.960
It was just to the point where when it was

285
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.000
a half mile away at the bottom of the canyon

286
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:19.159
and coming, we were running for our lives. We had

287
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.000
no idea what this thing was, but it was just

288
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:23.639
scary as can be.

289
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:27.600
When you hear someone in a different language but you

290
00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:30.080
can still figure out what they're saying because of the

291
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:33.639
tone in the how they say something. Was it like

292
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:36.720
that or did you actually hear the English words?

293
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:38.799
There was no English to it.

294
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:40.679
When it got closer, when it was down to the

295
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:42.720
bottom of the canyon and was finally yelling.

296
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.360
It was It was so not human. It was just.

297
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:52.240
Like that. At first, maybe just it sounded like that's

298
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:54.440
what they were saying, but when it was closer, it

299
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:59.279
was just this wraah. Just yeah, but it almost sounded

300
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:01.960
like a first and trying to speak.

301
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:07.679
Of sorts, I totally gotcha. Have you ever listened to

302
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:12.879
listen to the Sierra Sounds or any bigfoot recorded audio online? Yet?

303
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:16.320
No, I've never have, not in any way.

304
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.039
Okay, it would be really interesting if you're able to

305
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:25.639
listen to that and tell me if it sounds similar,

306
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.120
and I can send you a link after we're done

307
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:30.200
with this, that would be really interesting.

308
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:34.200
Yeah. I used to crab up in Alaska and lived

309
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:37.080
in Kodiak for five years, did a lot of hunting

310
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:39.720
and fishing and hiking all around there, and I'm familiar

311
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.360
with the grizzly bears, the Kodiak brown bears, and I've

312
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.679
heard about every kind of sound they can make from

313
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:47.840
just living up there and being around them.

314
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:49.720
All the time, especially on the river's fishing.

315
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:53.960
And I've never heard of a grizzly doing anything like that,

316
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:57.960
yelling like that, or even sounding like a person, in

317
00:14:58.000 --> 00:14:59.360
which this thing did.

318
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:03.440
When you went back to the area and everything was gone,

319
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:04.919
was the dime still there?

320
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:09.440
The dime was absolutely still in the exact same spot. Oh,

321
00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:11.799
it was right on a big ride. It was right

322
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:14.399
on the big the biggest ridge that heads down towards

323
00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:16.440
the back side of quarter Lay on the other side

324
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:19.159
of Kellogg there, and it's about a two and a

325
00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:22.000
half three mile four mile ridge something like that. It's

326
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:25.879
really steep and just a beautiful trail elk trail right

327
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:28.039
on the top that just led all the way down

328
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:28.759
to the river.

329
00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:31.120
And the spot was unmistakable.

330
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.720
It was a little saddle or bench in the ridge

331
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:36.440
and the alkward using the cross back and forth the

332
00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:38.919
easiest path and you couldn't miss this spot.

333
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:41.480
Any weird smells around the area.

334
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:45.559
No, nothing that I can recall at all. Of course,

335
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:48.360
we were just chasing the elk were just the ark

336
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:51.120
were just absolutely packed on this ridge. It was it

337
00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:54.279
was exciting. We had eight or nine bears going at

338
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:57.840
one time. My dad he had a seven by seven

339
00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:00.879
bowl on this ridge five yards and couldn't get his

340
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:02.399
bow back all the way.

341
00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:04.320
And there was just an exciting spot.

342
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:07.080
It was just as best elk hunting that you could

343
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:08.200
ever achieve.

344
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:09.840
It was just an action pack spot.

345
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:12.519
The elk were just thick in the spot, no other

346
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:13.879
hunting pressure whatsoever.

347
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:16.559
We just had it to ourselves. But the elk were

348
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:18.080
just everywhere, So.

349
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:20.080
I could imagine if there was a predator around, it

350
00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:22.600
would definitely be drawn into this because the elk were

351
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:24.120
just as thick as you could ever have.

352
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.799
When you would hear those the yells in the screams,

353
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:33.080
did that affect you in any way physically?

354
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:38.000
It was just definitely something to thinking back that every

355
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:40.240
time I go in the woods now, I'm sure all

356
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:43.840
of us remember what that yelling sounded like and how.

357
00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:44.399
Crazy it was.

358
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:47.600
That thing completely just covered miles of ground and then

359
00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:50.320
started running at us. It was run for your life.

360
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:52.600
All of us were running for our lives. At that time.

361
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.159
We figured it just wasn't a grizzly bear. It was

362
00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:59.240
definitely a big foot whatever. This wall was something that

363
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:03.840
you were running for your life without question. It was instant.

364
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:06.200
As soon as it started coming, we all knew it

365
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:09.559
was run for your life. A little scary going back

366
00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:13.480
into the woods sometimes just remembering that that actually took place,

367
00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:16.880
especially when we hike in at before daylight or leave

368
00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:19.680
your tree stand or whatever way back miles in the

369
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:20.720
woods right at dark.

370
00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:22.880
It's it's definitely something to consider for sure.

371
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:28.079
There's a website called Bigfoot Mapping Project, and if you

372
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:31.799
look at the Kellogg, Idaho area, there are a few

373
00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:35.039
reported sightings. It'd be interesting for you to look at

374
00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:38.119
that to see if there's if any of those are

375
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:41.000
close to that area where you had that.

376
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:44.160
If you went from if you went from Kellogg, like

377
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:47.200
I said, at Montgomery gold Stuf's riding Kellogg there and

378
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:49.759
one of the roads that leads to all the National

379
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:52.200
Forest Roads, and if you were just it had to

380
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:54.920
exactly due north of that over the top of the

381
00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:57.640
ridge back down on the other side is the Quarterlane

382
00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:02.000
River and it was just that exact way just to

383
00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:06.160
sit in book the Quarterlaine River there ge north of Kellogg. There,

384
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:09.680
that's exactly where it was. On big ridge that goes

385
00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:11.559
all the way down to the river. It's probably four

386
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:14.039
or five mile long ridge and it just goes all

387
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:16.359
the way back down to the Quarterline River down there.

388
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:18.839
So pretty really in this country.

389
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:22.880
You and your dad were in this situation, but you

390
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:25.960
and your dad were also in the truck when you

391
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:28.119
had the sighting after crossing.

392
00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:30.440
Yeah, yeah, we're in the truck. Yeah yeah.

393
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.680
That was actually the last day elk season this past

394
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:35.039
ending season in Washington.

395
00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:39.680
So when you were talking about what happened after that sighting,

396
00:18:39.839 --> 00:18:43.960
did did this incident in Idaho get brought up at

397
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:44.839
all in any way?

398
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:48.160
Yeah? We've been talking about it NonStop that it must

399
00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:51.880
have been a sasquatch. There's nothing else that I could

400
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:55.359
ever explain that could have done anything that took place

401
00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:58.440
unless there was an actual Bigfoot, and that's what it was.

402
00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:00.559
I didn't wasn't really much of a believer.

403
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:03.160
I just thought that either had to be that or

404
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:06.559
a grizzly bear, and I'd not thought about it up

405
00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:09.559
until I had that encounter on I think it was

406
00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:12.599
the nineteenth of September this year where I actually seen

407
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:16.119
the one standing in there, which was just unbelievable.

408
00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:18.559
I was like instantly, I looked over and I was like,

409
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:21.799
bigfoot right there, Bigfoot, And still looking at my dad,

410
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:23.720
He's like what then, So now.

411
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:27.680
They're a fum believer that everyone would absolutely agrees that

412
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:30.240
had to be a Sasquatch in Idaho.

413
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:31.640
There had to have been one there.

414
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:34.279
Absolutely. I want to address that for a little. I've

415
00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:38.720
never had an episode where people have reached out and

416
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:42.000
are like, dude, it's just a statue, and I'm like, man,

417
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:45.039
I don't know, because he says he saw it walk

418
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.400
off the stump and walk away. And I've been asking

419
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:51.279
these people can you get a photo of what you're

420
00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:53.720
talking about? And no one has sent me a photo yet,

421
00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:55.920
So I mean, are.

422
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:57.440
You talking about an as story there?

423
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:00.799
Yeah, totally, like people are trying to yeah.

424
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:03.440
There, not there. This is so weird.

425
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:06.960
Not too far from there, maybe I had mine was

426
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:10.759
exactly at the mile mark or whatever. I think it

427
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:15.240
was one exact mile from the Astoria Meglar Bridge right

428
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.279
there out of Meglar, but it was exactly one mile.

429
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:20.799
Me and my dad actually have been over there. We

430
00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:25.359
went back late archery out over there, and there is

431
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:29.880
a big foot I don't know whether it's a cardboard thing,

432
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:31.599
but it's miles down the road.

433
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:33.279
Now. I can't tell you whether or.

434
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.920
Not this thing had maybe been tricked in by that

435
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:40.880
particular thing and was in the area for that, but

436
00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:44.039
there is in fact some type of maybe something down

437
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:47.160
the road two or three miles, but it's way past

438
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:49.359
where I've seen the actual bigfoot of it.

439
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:52.039
Okay, God, So that kind of clears things up then

440
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:54.640
for people that have seen that, and it's not the

441
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:57.200
same area, but it's relatively close.

442
00:20:57.559 --> 00:20:59.920
It is relatively close to that. As a matter of fact,

443
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:02.480
when I got my me and my dad looked at

444
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:05.559
that on the way when we were over there late

445
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:08.759
archery all coming. But it's not eighty feet from the

446
00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:11.640
road in the flop where we've seen that one physically

447
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:14.200
and had binoculars on it and watched it walk away.

448
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:17.960
That's a whole different story there. So have you been

449
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:21.240
back to the dime spot at all?

450
00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:23.960
I have never been back to that exact spot.

451
00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:27.759
I've hunted over there every year since that happened, twelve

452
00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:29.160
years worth or whatever.

453
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:32.440
And literally, we're just not going to go back there.

454
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:33.519
It was too scary.

455
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:35.119
I don't blame you.

456
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:39.319
It was just too incredibly scary. It was a run

457
00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:42.440
through your life. We just I just have not been

458
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:44.680
back there. It's a mile and a half or so

459
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:47.119
hiked to where this dime spot was, away from the

460
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:50.359
roads and whatnot, pretty dark, deep timber, and.

461
00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:52.559
I just I'm not going back to that spot. It

462
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:53.279
was crazy.

463
00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:57.680
It sounds like a life changing experience for sure, and

464
00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:02.240
then you combine that with actually getting the visual that

465
00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:05.440
you know both and now both of you have to

466
00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:08.440
live with both of these encounters, which is a really

467
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:11.839
interesting situation that both of you were there.

468
00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:16.960
Yeah, my dad, he's from Centralia, that's up in Washington,

469
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:19.559
That's where we grew up. And we used to back

470
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:21.519
in the day before warehouse had closed down all the

471
00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:23.400
roads up around Mount Saint Helens, we used to be

472
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:26.240
able to just drive all over in the logging roads

473
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:28.400
up there and whatnot. My dad would always take us

474
00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:30.799
kids and the family up there and we'd spend days

475
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:33.079
just cruising around and watching and looking at the elk

476
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:36.039
and whatnot. And we had my dad used to have

477
00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:40.799
pictures of a huge footprint that he's seen crossing out

478
00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:42.960
of this big, huge ridge line that.

479
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:43.680
Crossed the road.

480
00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:46.839
Was about a twenty four inch just bare foot track

481
00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:49.160
that he had pictures of. And I don't know what

482
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:51.440
happened to those pictures, but he used to have pictures

483
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:54.920
of a huge, bigfoot track that was coming off a

484
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:57.440
hill crossing the road and then down into this big

485
00:22:57.519 --> 00:22:58.559
canyon too as well.

486
00:22:58.720 --> 00:22:59.799
And that was up announ.

487
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:02.640
Saying hell, oh my goodness. That must have been just

488
00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:06.440
wild to see. Ooh this, I'm so glad that you are.

489
00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:08.920
He used to had actual pictures of this, but they've

490
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:12.440
been lost over time, but they were probably about twenty

491
00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:14.200
four to twenty five inches or so.

492
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:18.680
Oh my goodness, Wow, did you also say that that.

493
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:21.079
I just want to double check there are other weird

494
00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:23.559
things that you've experienced as well.

495
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:27.839
Or well, there was one other animal that I've seen.

496
00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:31.200
I didn't see this thing stand up by any means,

497
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:34.920
But like I told you before, my entire life I

498
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:38.519
spent three hundred days at least a year outdoors out

499
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:41.359
in the woods doing something out there, whether it's working

500
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:44.920
or hunting or hiking or just game cameras or whatnot.

501
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:48.480
So I'm really familiar with any type of animal that's

502
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:52.480
in you know, the Pacific Northwest by all means, all mammals,

503
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:55.640
real outdoor avid sportsmen.

504
00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:58.480
This happened up in Longview, Washington.

505
00:23:58.759 --> 00:24:02.920
The exact location on the corner of Delometer Road.

506
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:05.200
Meets Coal Creek Road.

507
00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:09.319
There, there's a Coal Creek is a smaller river like

508
00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:13.000
creek that flows up and there's a waterfall right at

509
00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:17.160
that junction there where Coal Creek and Delometer meet. Anyway,

510
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:19.519
I got a friend that lives in a house a

511
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:22.200
few hundred yards up the hill from there.

512
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:24.720
And we when we were a little younger, we used to.

513
00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:27.359
All go up there drink and party and whatnot and

514
00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:30.599
all everyone just get together up there. And one night

515
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:32.519
I was up there with my girlfriend and it was

516
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:35.559
getting pretty late. It's probably three in the morning, and

517
00:24:35.640 --> 00:24:38.480
we hung out there because it was just absolutely a

518
00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:43.079
pouring down rain, just monsooning the outside. And so about

519
00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:45.480
three point thirty in the morning, we decided to leave,

520
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:47.319
and we hopked in my pick up and this lady

521
00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:50.519
lives above where this creek is, maybe two hundred yards

522
00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:53.319
or so, and she's got a real steep driveway and

523
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:55.720
it goes down and goes along the road to the

524
00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:58.799
creek where the waterfall is down below. And we got

525
00:24:58.799 --> 00:25:02.279
about halfway down our stea driveway and my girlfriend grabs

526
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:04.440
me and she goes, look at that bear.

527
00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:06.119
That thing's huge.

528
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:07.920
And I stand in front of me and oh, I

529
00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:11.440
seen this bear walking up the road just out of

530
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:13.839
her driveway. So I hurried up and turned my high

531
00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:16.880
beings on and we got to about thirty forty feet

532
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:19.880
from what I thought was this gigantic black bear, and

533
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:23.240
it was walking right alongside the road and walking right

534
00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:25.599
towards this and it was just pouring down the range,

535
00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:28.000
just one of these inch an hour type of rainstorms

536
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:29.359
and blowing wind everywhere.

537
00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:32.519
And I could not believe the size of this bear.

538
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:34.759
As it was walking up towards us on this road,

539
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:37.759
you could see about every muscle in the same body,

540
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:40.680
and it had this roly toly style walked it black

541
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:41.200
bears do.

542
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:44.319
And it just nonchalantly walked.

543
00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:46.240
Up to us to maybe twenty feet in front of

544
00:25:46.279 --> 00:25:49.160
the truck and was looking in our direction, and we

545
00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:51.440
were just in awe the size of this what I

546
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:55.359
thought was a bear, And it was probably seven hundred

547
00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:58.799
eight hundred pounds, which would be above and beyond. Black

548
00:25:58.839 --> 00:26:01.599
bears get to be some times five hundred pounds in

549
00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:04.119
rare instances. Maybe I guess they could get to seven

550
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:06.720
hundred pounds. I've heard of maybe a couple. But this

551
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:11.240
thing was in that unbelievable size category and muscular as

552
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:14.119
can be. And as we were sitting there in awe

553
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:16.839
of the size and looking at this thing, it turned

554
00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:21.160
and walked right in front of our car at fifteen

555
00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:24.599
twenty feet and instantly I said, this is that is

556
00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:25.200
not a bear.

557
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:29.279
Its face was elongated, not to war.

558
00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:32.000
It had just a short, stubby style bear nose, but

559
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:36.240
it was protruding out maybe six inches or so, with

560
00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:40.400
really long six to eight inch hair hanging down off

561
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:42.599
of it. It was pouring, and of course all the

562
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:44.960
hair that was on it was just really long and

563
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.880
hanging in the rain and whatnot. But the most incredible

564
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:52.160
thing about this thing was it had a tail. It

565
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:55.880
was about five and a half feet long, maybe three

566
00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:59.720
to four inches, really thick, and it had eight inch

567
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:03.720
hair hanging off this tail. The tail was hanging, not hanging,

568
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:06.759
but it was almost stiff out and you could see

569
00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:10.119
all this hair hanging along it, which was really shaggy.

570
00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:13.599
And I bears don't have any kind of tail, and

571
00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:16.319
this tail was really pronounced and really thick, and I'm like,

572
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:19.359
that is not a bearon my girlfriend said what is that?

573
00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:21.680
And I said, I have no idea to the work

574
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:22.119
that is.

575
00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:24.960
And then it turned again, walked back away from us

576
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:27.920
on the road, and then turned towards the creek and

577
00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:31.279
crossed the road again, And so I raced right up

578
00:27:31.319 --> 00:27:33.200
to where it crossed this time when it went over

579
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:35.079
into the bushes and rolled down the window and I

580
00:27:35.079 --> 00:27:37.880
shut the truck off, and just going down into this creek,

581
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:41.480
it was crashing and smashing trees. We're talking fifteen year

582
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:43.680
old trees that are eight nine ten inches thick.

583
00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:46.400
It was just snapping them in half one and.

584
00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:48.759
Then it crossed the river there the crik and just

585
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:52.119
made it just a huge sounding, like a big horse

586
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:56.079
or something crossing the creek. And I just couldn't believe

587
00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:59.039
what I had seen. It was no animal that's supposed

588
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:02.960
to be around here. It looked just almost like a bear,

589
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:06.559
but more muscular, a little more broad, but it had

590
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:09.160
a tail, and I've never seen anything like that in

591
00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:11.799
my life. But that's the other thing. It never stood

592
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:14.920
up on two legs. It was always on four legs.

593
00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:18.200
But it seemed to be smaller in the back section

594
00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:22.279
of the waist, more of just a little skinny way

595
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:25.000
down from the chest area more and from the rib

596
00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:27.440
cage down. And to this day, I don't know what

597
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:31.200
this animal was. It was absolutely massive. It was to

598
00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:35.200
the seven hundred pounds maybe even more. It was absolutely

599
00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:37.839
as muscular as could be. Every muscle in its body

600
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:40.119
you could see with the way it was raining, it

601
00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:42.799
was soaking wet. You could just see every muscle in

602
00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:46.119
its chest as it was walking up. It was just

603
00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:50.160
incredibly strong look and the tail was humongous. The tail

604
00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:53.680
was four inches around, just super thick and maybe five

605
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:55.240
feet long and real stiff.

606
00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:59.079
And there's no animal in the Pacific Northwest that is

607
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:00.319
supposed to be looking like that.

608
00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:04.519
Oh man, that is confusing. And just to think that

609
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:08.279
there could be another large animal out there that we

610
00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:10.880
have no idea what it is. I mean, it could

611
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:13.720
totally be the case, though there's so much woods that's

612
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:16.160
forced that's unexplored out there.

613
00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:18.839
I mean, yeah, And this was yeah, like I said,

614
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:21.640
that was right at in long Be, Washington, up right

615
00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:24.720
up Colkirk where Cole Creek and Gello me to meet.

616
00:29:24.759 --> 00:29:25.920
There's a waterfall there.

617
00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:28.119
Anybody could that You could play that on any map,

618
00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:31.680
I'm sure any aerial photo. And it was right there

619
00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:34.160
and the steelhead were at the time running up that

620
00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:37.279
creek pretty heavy and that waterfall, I know, stops a

621
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:37.960
lot of fish there.

622
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:39.480
I don't think you can steal a fish there.

623
00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:41.799
But we were sitting around a couple of times and

624
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:44.640
watching the steelhead roll in the hole. Blow of the waterfall,

625
00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:46.759
so I know there was some fish in there. Whether

626
00:29:46.799 --> 00:29:48.759
it was cut it came up out of there or not,

627
00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:52.039
I don't know, but that's exactly where it crashed off too.

628
00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:55.519
But it was an animal that was completely unexplained, and

629
00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:57.759
to this day I couldn't tell you what that thing

630
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:01.599
exactly was, but it sure wasn't no black bear. When

631
00:30:01.640 --> 00:30:03.920
it turned sideways and we could see it clearly in

632
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:06.559
the headlights, it was just like, what is what am

633
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:07.640
I looking at here?

634
00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:10.799
Did it have any ears? You could see?

635
00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:13.480
I didn't notice the ears.

636
00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:16.119
I think that just the tail with all the hair

637
00:30:16.200 --> 00:30:19.680
hanging sideways along it and the rain was such a

638
00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:23.279
stumper in its body getting it went from being really

639
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:27.799
huge up front and a big barrel chested to really

640
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:31.960
skinny in the waste area, and then smaller in the

641
00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:33.720
legs than way smaller in the.

642
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:35.319
Back half than it was in the front.

643
00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:39.119
It was rather large in the front, very muscular animal

644
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:41.759
gorilla style, like.

645
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:43.960
The big male gorillas or something like that.

646
00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:48.559
It was very muscular, something I had not really experienced

647
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:50.720
with the bears too much, and it had a lock

648
00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:53.839
of the bear muscles were almost getting in the way

649
00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:56.359
of how fat and big. This animal was as it

650
00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:59.640
was walking, you know, it had the straight on appearance

651
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:02.640
every kind of thing you could think of to be

652
00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:05.000
a bear. It looked just like a bear from that

653
00:31:05.079 --> 00:31:07.920
angle until it turned and I seen the tail, and

654
00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:10.200
I just I couldn't explain to you to state what

655
00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:12.319
that animal was. I don't know if there's been any

656
00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:15.160
other kind of sightings of anything around that area, but

657
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:18.480
that's something that I seen, and that that's where I've

658
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:19.759
seen it so've.

659
00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:23.720
I got a hunter report from Longview just this year,

660
00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:26.839
but it was nothing like that. It was definitely more

661
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:30.519
ape like. Was there anything feline about what you saw

662
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:31.279
at all?

663
00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:32.680
Nothing whatsoever?

664
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:35.759
I would tell it turned sideways, I would have told

665
00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:37.880
you it was the biggest black bear that you had,

666
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:40.000
a world record black bear.

667
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:41.920
Proportional.

668
00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:45.720
This thing was gigantic and until it turned sideways that

669
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:48.519
I seen in its face was much longer than a

670
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:49.160
black bear.

671
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:52.480
And the tail an't no bears have tails.

672
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:55.480
This one had a five foot and the tail was unmistakable,

673
00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:58.079
and it was very stiff and curled up, and it

674
00:31:58.200 --> 00:31:59.640
was just it was mind blowing.

675
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:00.960
Ever seen anything like it.

676
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:04.119
I couldn't explain what the animal was there's no animal

677
00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:05.839
like that here we're supposed to be.

678
00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:07.119
Anyway, Jason.

679
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:10.240
We'll see if anyone else has seen this around Longview.

680
00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:12.160
I might have to make a new podcast. We'll see.

681
00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:16.799
But yeah, that was an animal that is just unexplained,

682
00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:20.400
that's for sure, And these stories obviously could be verified.

683
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:22.640
My father, he sits here and he's been on the

684
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:25.960
phone and sitting next to me and listening into all

685
00:32:26.039 --> 00:32:28.039
these two but maybe sometimes you can get him on

686
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:30.599
the podcast as well. He was right there and seeing

687
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:32.920
the same thing I did. And both both this and

688
00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:36.079
the as story and the Idaho encounter.

689
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:38.599
We will definitely we'll talk about that because it is

690
00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:44.079
always interesting when you have situations that are observed by

691
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:47.319
more than one person, because we all have our own

692
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:48.039
different ways.

693
00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:51.400
So my friend there, Dean and Spokane, he was with

694
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:53.799
us too as well, and I assure you he would

695
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:56.400
be in awe to tell the story as well what

696
00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:57.480
exactly happened.

697
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:03.039
Jason. I appreciate you coming back on the show to

698
00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:06.759
share some other things that you've experienced over the years.

699
00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:09.839
We will definitely be in touch if there's anything else

700
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:12.920
that ever happens out there when you're hunting. Feel free

701
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:14.039
to reach out as well.

702
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:15.359
Yeah.

703
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:19.359
Absolutely, absolutely, But those are the craziest things that I've

704
00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:22.799
ever experienced, especially in the big foot encounters. That's about

705
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:25.480
the highlight of my fifty years of being out in

706
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:27.039
the woods every other day.

707
00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:29.200
No problem, man, Thanks for having me on. Man.

708
00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:32.359
Absolutely, it's been a pleasure. And yeah, we'll talk to

709
00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:34.640
you later. Man, you have a good one.

710
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:35.119
You too.

their encounter and a safe and respected environment.

714
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:47.720

718
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:04.240
lot of you have not shared your encounter at all.

719
00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:08.159
It's been twenty years and it's time that you get

720
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:10.840
this off your chest and then you can get some

721
00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:13.639
well deserved for rest because I know you haven't been sleeping.
