Forward slash the Big for Society, and now let's get on with the show. Three two one Big for Society. You've got the privilege of talking to individual. His name is Jason. Jason was actually just on the show pretty recently talking about a citing he had that was over there, crossed from Astoria, Oregon, but on the Washington side, and that was just back in episode six oh one. I got an interesting email where it was actually some of Jason's neighbors that reached out and said, hey, reach out to Jason because he's got other stuff to talk about that he's holding back on maybe, so I was like, all right, I'll give it a try. So it's a first for the show.
1:19 You never know who's listening. But Jason is a privileged to have you back on, and I'm excited to hear what else you have experienced over the years. Yeah on the problems, Hey, I'm going to just lay out the story and tell you what happened, and pretty much she could make. Up your own mind as to what it was. Me and my father and my best friend lives in Spoke, Caan Dean. We decided one season. That we were going to buy some non resident Idaho elk tags and I'll go over to Idaho bo hunting. So that's exactly what we did. My dad and my best. Friend we got together and smoked cane, bought our tags, and headed over to a spot my buddy knew, which is. Right over in chill All, Idaho.
2:00 And so we traveled up Montgomery Gulch, which is on the north side of Tellog there right out of town, and went up about now I don't know, ten miles up to the top of the peak of the ridge and camped out and we're going to hell come from there a couple of days went by and we found a really good ridge that had some elk that were bugling and whatnot, and decided we would hike down the back side of this ridge. And the country was just really rugged on each side, and the backside it dropped down to the Quarterlaine River on the backside, and we've been getting into some milk, so we decided we were going to go and follow this ridge all the way down miles down to the river. So we got down to this really beautiful spot and we're getting into some elk and a little saddle on the top of this ridge and my friend called in some elk. We had a big bowl coming in from behind, and so the very first elk the show up was a cow elk and you could shoot either sex. So I shot it with my bow and got pretty excited and didn't really care about the ant was at the time. So I shot this elk and then so wed and went and found the elk and started packing out the elk and everything, and we didn't have any ribbons. So my buddy said he I want you to mark this spot, and so all I had was a dime. So we put the dime down and we forever called the spot the dime spot.
3:14 So we packed out this elk and it was miles down in this ridge line. So we boned the elk out, which is each take the meat off the bones and throw him in your pack, and it's a lot lighter. So we packed out this elk. I was bombed. Because I wanted to take a nice bowl over there, but I'd already shot and killed my elk, and my friend said, hey, if you got another seven hundred bucks, you can buy another non resident elk tag there if you want. So down to the store we went, and I bought another elk tag for all whole non resident, and the next day we went back to the same exact spot where I'd laid the dime down, and the elk were calling again, and it was my turn to call, so I started calling for my friend, and first elk that came in was a big spike, and he shot it and it went right over the edge and died within probably one hundred feet or so where the other how that I shot had died. And so we packed this elk out and my frame wasn't given by another tag, and the very next day we decided that we were going to hunt this same exact ridge. It had just been on fire. So we went down and started calling, and we went down to where this we shot these other two elk, and we got into somewhere elk and we started walking around, and all of a sudden, my.
4:23 Buddy said, hey, isn't this you shot your elk right here? Where's all the stuff out from your elk? Where's all the bones and everything? And we started looking around and there was no bones, no elk, hide, no nothing anymore. And we just thought that was strange, and I go, well, where's your elk? A well, you shot, let's be looking at it. So we went the other one hundred and fifty feet away and found the spot where he shot his elk, and to our disbelief, his entire carcass was gone, and the hides were gone and everything, and just not a trace of what was going on. Was hot man, there must be a big bear or something here. Maybe we should hunt this for bear and sit over one of these. And so we continued hunting a little bit and came back up to the sea exact spot where I'd laid the dime down on, and my buddy called in a nice bowl and I shot it. So we went over to it and we took the head, which was pretty typical, and my buddy packed out a front shoulder and we decided we'd go back to camp, grabbed my dad and head back.
5:15 To this elk and get the rest of it. So we went back to camp rab my dad told him what was going on, and we left all of our stuff there except for our packs, our guns and bows, and we left it all at camp and we hiked back into the spot. We got about one hundred yards from where my elk was laying, and we were traversing down this hill which was just unbelievably steep, and my buddy all of a sudden grabs me and he looks at all weird, and he says, did you hear that? And I stopped for a second. I could hear some crows or ravens in the background, and I said, what do you evening the ravens? And my dad was like, had this disbelief flip on his face too, and he said, listen, and you heard from a processed canyon, maybe about two and a half miles away, you could hear what we thought someone screaming, and it sounded like get.
6:06 Out of here, and Betty's what is he talking about? Is that? And I'm like, I don't sound like a person? What do you say? And my dad goes, get out of. Here is where he was yelling, and we were like, wellbody goes what we're in the national forest. Nobody can tell us where we can hunt? Is what is going on? And so we just played it off for a second and. Stood there, and maybe about a half mile closer, we hear the same just gigantic, get guy, you know, but it doesn't quite sound to go out of here, but just about like that, just as loud as can be. But this time it's a half mile closer, and we just stood there and everyone's what is going on? Is that a person? What is that?
6:46 And then you heard what appeared to be snapping of just huge trees and rocks and shale slides coming down the other side of this hill, which immediately made all of his hair stand up, and we all started paying attention as to what was going on. This animal had already gained a mile coming down this hill, something. That would take you all dayd tra Verse was already down a mile and was yelling again, but this tilement just was just rolling through. The canyon and a mile away, and we were like. It's that two different things. And my buddy was like, what is going on? And then you hear all these trees and shale slide and everything just rumbling down the hillside. And now it's at the bottom of this canyon. Now it's covered maybe two miles of the steepest terrain in the world, and it's yelling from the bottom of this canyon, maybe five hundred yards away from us now, and it just starts yelling again, and now it's so loud that we all just run, all three of us ran far lives up the top of this hill and you can hear this thing breaking trees and branches and just flying up the hill and yelling the most monstrous sound you've ever heard. That sounded like get And so we all got out of it as quick as I could. Everyone was scared to death. Nobody wanted to be left behind.
8:02 If you fell behind for just a second running up these hills, you were just do whatever it took to get past the next guy, because no one wanted to be in the back. We got back in the truck and discussed what we could possibly do. We went back to camp, and my buddy's like, well, let's just get my dan, grab your bowl, we'll go back in there. We'll recover this out. And we just could not figure it out. We thought that has got to be a big foot or something has came to those elk you shot. This is just not believable. So we went back with guns and bars, and we walked back down into that spot. It was just dead, silent, no elk calling, no sounds anymore. And we get down to where the elk is and there's no elk anymore.
8:43 It's completely vanished. Three quarters of an elk, four or five hundred pounds of carcass is completely gone. There's no drag marks of any kind the elk, there's no blood leaving the trail. The elk is just completely gone, vanish whatsoever. I know there's some grizzly bears in that area, but I've never heard of a. Grizzly bear yelling from. Canyons away something that's audibly almost like a human. Nor do I believe a grizzly bear could pack a five hundred pound elk without leaving some blood or some type of marks there. We all discussed it, and we from that day on, we just all believed that was one percent had to be a sasquatch and from the other elk that we had shot there and been deburoning that the carcass were missing, that it had came in from those other elk. It must have been right in the area, and we didn't found the third elk almost complete. It had claimed it and sat above us in this huge ridge on the thickest of timber two miles away, and knew that it could hear as we were coming. And when it did, it scared us out of there completely and ran us out of there, and so the elk was.
9:50 Gone, no more of the elk. I had already put the tag on the antlas, So I then drove back to Washington, pretty disappointed that I only had a little bit of. Meat and the from my cow. But it was one one thing that just could not be explained that what had happened to us, And to this day we all know it was a big foot for sure. And that's the story. It was pretty pretty wild, pretty. Crazy, Jason, That's probably one of the most intense hunting accounts I've gotten so far on this podcast. Like that is wild, dude, what year was that, you know, that. Was probably It's been about probably ten or twelve years. And I hadn't really told that story to anybody except for my neighbors are.
10:33 In on the Bigfoot society. They listened to you all the time. And when I after they heard my story, I said, yeah, but there's another story I have in Idaho where this thing. Took my elkin stared us out of them. When I got done telling them that story, they were like, you've got to tell that story. I'm like, why, don't want to sell like a psycho or nothing. Just I've had these accounters. I did not see it, none of us seeing that animal, but nobody was going to stick around, not for a second, to find out what was smashed up this hill. It was a very large animal, the. Size of a thousand pounds at least to be making that kind of racket and snapping the trees and everything else. It was. The hillside where it came from was just as remoters could be. It was two and a half three mile long hillside. It was almost straight up and down as brushy as can be. We chased elk in there, and it was an entire day's adventure to make halfway up the hill. How this thing came down the entire hill to the canyon and then up the other side in that kind of time frame. There's no way any kind of bear could cover miles in just seconds like that.
11:36 So I figured it would be a good idea to tell that story, because I'm absolutely sure with the vocalization that it was doing, the yelling and screaming that just echoed through the canyons, almost human but almost inaudible to what you know. You couldn't quite make out exactly what it was, but it sounded. Just like get out of air. But it was a monstrous voice. And so we all talk about it to this day. Everybody in camp. We tell that story once in a while. But it was an unbelievable thing, especially with the entire elk being completely gone, all the carcasses being gone without a trace, not a hair one leaving there. Well, first off, shout out to your neighbors for reaching out.
12:17 You guys are awesome, and I've been talking to them through email a little bit. Man there, this is such a weird one because it's as you said, it was able to cover a massive amount of territory extremely quickly and have you ever heard anything that was the same volume roughly as. Nothing like this? This thing was rolling. It was two and a half miles away. The canyon were real steep, and we were across from it, so we were maybe a mile and a half from this point, and it was just so louded, just boomed through the canyons and it was a monstrous hair standing on the back of your neck sound. And it sounded like a person yelling get at it here, but it was not quite that.
13:04 But at first thought it was like, did he just tell to me, yelling get out of here? And it was just when it got closer, it was just anchoing. It was just to the point where when it was a half mile away at the bottom of the canyon and coming, we were running for our lives. We had no idea what this thing was, but it was just scary as can be. When you hear someone in a different language but you can still figure out what they're saying because of the tone in the how they say something. Was it like that or did you actually hear the English words? There was no English to it. When it got closer, when it was down to the bottom of the canyon and was finally yelling. It was It was so not human. It was just.
13:48 Like that. At first, maybe just it sounded like that's what they were saying, but when it was closer, it was just this wraah. Just yeah, but it almost sounded like a first and trying to speak. Of sorts, I totally gotcha. Have you ever listened to listen to the Sierra Sounds or any bigfoot recorded audio online? Yet? No, I've never have, not in any way. Okay, it would be really interesting if you're able to listen to that and tell me if it sounds similar, and I can send you a link after we're done with this, that would be really interesting.
14:30 Yeah. I used to crab up in Alaska and lived in Kodiak for five years, did a lot of hunting and fishing and hiking all around there, and I'm familiar with the grizzly bears, the Kodiak brown bears, and I've heard about every kind of sound they can make from just living up there and being around them. All the time, especially on the river's fishing. And I've never heard of a grizzly doing anything like that, yelling like that, or even sounding like a person, in which this thing did. When you went back to the area and everything was gone, was the dime still there? The dime was absolutely still in the exact same spot. Oh, it was right on a big ride. It was right on the big the biggest ridge that heads down towards the back side of quarter Lay on the other side of Kellogg there, and it's about a two and a half three mile four mile ridge something like that. It's really steep and just a beautiful trail elk trail right on the top that just led all the way down to the river.
15:29 And the spot was unmistakable. It was a little saddle or bench in the ridge and the alkward using the cross back and forth the easiest path and you couldn't miss this spot. Any weird smells around the area. No, nothing that I can recall at all. Of course, we were just chasing the elk were just the ark were just absolutely packed on this ridge. It was it was exciting. We had eight or nine bears going at one time. My dad he had a seven by seven bowl on this ridge five yards and couldn't get his bow back all the way. And there was just an exciting spot. It was just as best elk hunting that you could ever achieve. It was just an action pack spot.
16:09 The elk were just thick in the spot, no other hunting pressure whatsoever. We just had it to ourselves. But the elk were just everywhere, So. I could imagine if there was a predator around, it would definitely be drawn into this because the elk were just as thick as you could ever have. When you would hear those the yells in the screams, did that affect you in any way physically? It was just definitely something to thinking back that every time I go in the woods now, I'm sure all of us remember what that yelling sounded like and how. Crazy it was. That thing completely just covered miles of ground and then started running at us. It was run for your life.
16:50 All of us were running for our lives. At that time. We figured it just wasn't a grizzly bear. It was definitely a big foot whatever. This wall was something that you were running for your life without question. It was instant. As soon as it started coming, we all knew it was run for your life. A little scary going back into the woods sometimes just remembering that that actually took place, especially when we hike in at before daylight or leave your tree stand or whatever way back miles in the woods right at dark. It's it's definitely something to consider for sure. There's a website called Bigfoot Mapping Project, and if you look at the Kellogg, Idaho area, there are a few reported sightings. It'd be interesting for you to look at that to see if there's if any of those are close to that area where you had that.
17:41 If you went from if you went from Kellogg, like I said, at Montgomery gold Stuf's riding Kellogg there and one of the roads that leads to all the National Forest Roads, and if you were just it had to exactly due north of that over the top of the ridge back down on the other side is the Quarterlane River and it was just that exact way just to sit in book the Quarterlaine River there ge north of Kellogg. There, that's exactly where it was. On big ridge that goes all the way down to the river. It's probably four or five mile long ridge and it just goes all the way back down to the Quarterline River down there. So pretty really in this country. You and your dad were in this situation, but you and your dad were also in the truck when you had the sighting after crossing.
18:28 Yeah, yeah, we're in the truck. Yeah yeah. That was actually the last day elk season this past ending season in Washington. So when you were talking about what happened after that sighting, did did this incident in Idaho get brought up at all in any way? Yeah? We've been talking about it NonStop that it must have been a sasquatch. There's nothing else that I could ever explain that could have done anything that took place unless there was an actual Bigfoot, and that's what it was. I didn't wasn't really much of a believer. I just thought that either had to be that or a grizzly bear, and I'd not thought about it up until I had that encounter on I think it was the nineteenth of September this year where I actually seen the one standing in there, which was just unbelievable.
19:16 I was like instantly, I looked over and I was like, bigfoot right there, Bigfoot, And still looking at my dad, He's like what then, So now. They're a fum believer that everyone would absolutely agrees that had to be a Sasquatch in Idaho. There had to have been one there. Absolutely. I want to address that for a little. I've never had an episode where people have reached out and are like, dude, it's just a statue, and I'm like, man, I don't know, because he says he saw it walk off the stump and walk away. And I've been asking these people can you get a photo of what you're talking about? And no one has sent me a photo yet, So I mean, are. You talking about an as story there?
19:57 Yeah, totally, like people are trying to yeah. There, not there. This is so weird. Not too far from there, maybe I had mine was exactly at the mile mark or whatever. I think it was one exact mile from the Astoria Meglar Bridge right there out of Meglar, but it was exactly one mile. Me and my dad actually have been over there. We went back late archery out over there, and there is a big foot I don't know whether it's a cardboard thing, but it's miles down the road. Now. I can't tell you whether or. Not this thing had maybe been tricked in by that particular thing and was in the area for that, but there is in fact some type of maybe something down the road two or three miles, but it's way past where I've seen the actual bigfoot of it.
20:49 Okay, God, So that kind of clears things up then for people that have seen that, and it's not the same area, but it's relatively close. It is relatively close to that. As a matter of fact, when I got my me and my dad looked at that on the way when we were over there late archery all coming. But it's not eighty feet from the road in the flop where we've seen that one physically and had binoculars on it and watched it walk away. That's a whole different story there. So have you been back to the dime spot at all? I have never been back to that exact spot. I've hunted over there every year since that happened, twelve years worth or whatever.
21:29 And literally, we're just not going to go back there. It was too scary. I don't blame you. It was just too incredibly scary. It was a run through your life. We just I just have not been back there. It's a mile and a half or so hiked to where this dime spot was, away from the roads and whatnot, pretty dark, deep timber, and. I just I'm not going back to that spot. It was crazy. It sounds like a life changing experience for sure, and then you combine that with actually getting the visual that you know both and now both of you have to live with both of these encounters, which is a really interesting situation that both of you were there.
22:13 Yeah, my dad, he's from Centralia, that's up in Washington, That's where we grew up. And we used to back in the day before warehouse had closed down all the roads up around Mount Saint Helens, we used to be able to just drive all over in the logging roads up there and whatnot. My dad would always take us kids and the family up there and we'd spend days just cruising around and watching and looking at the elk and whatnot. And we had my dad used to have pictures of a huge footprint that he's seen crossing out of this big, huge ridge line that. Crossed the road. Was about a twenty four inch just bare foot track that he had pictures of. And I don't know what happened to those pictures, but he used to have pictures of a huge, bigfoot track that was coming off a hill crossing the road and then down into this big canyon too as well.
22:58 And that was up announ. Saying hell, oh my goodness. That must have been just wild to see. Ooh this, I'm so glad that you are. He used to had actual pictures of this, but they've been lost over time, but they were probably about twenty four to twenty five inches or so. Oh my goodness, Wow, did you also say that that. I just want to double check there are other weird things that you've experienced as well. Or well, there was one other animal that I've seen. I didn't see this thing stand up by any means, But like I told you before, my entire life I spent three hundred days at least a year outdoors out in the woods doing something out there, whether it's working or hunting or hiking or just game cameras or whatnot.
23:45 So I'm really familiar with any type of animal that's in you know, the Pacific Northwest by all means, all mammals, real outdoor avid sportsmen. This happened up in Longview, Washington. The exact location on the corner of Delometer Road. Meets Coal Creek Road. There, there's a Coal Creek is a smaller river like creek that flows up and there's a waterfall right at that junction there where Coal Creek and Delometer meet. Anyway, I got a friend that lives in a house a few hundred yards up the hill from there. And we when we were a little younger, we used to. All go up there drink and party and whatnot and all everyone just get together up there. And one night I was up there with my girlfriend and it was getting pretty late. It's probably three in the morning, and we hung out there because it was just absolutely a pouring down rain, just monsooning the outside. And so about three point thirty in the morning, we decided to leave, and we hopked in my pick up and this lady lives above where this creek is, maybe two hundred yards or so, and she's got a real steep driveway and it goes down and goes along the road to the creek where the waterfall is down below. And we got about halfway down our stea driveway and my girlfriend grabs me and she goes, look at that bear.
25:05 That thing's huge. And I stand in front of me and oh, I seen this bear walking up the road just out of her driveway. So I hurried up and turned my high beings on and we got to about thirty forty feet from what I thought was this gigantic black bear, and it was walking right alongside the road and walking right towards this and it was just pouring down the range, just one of these inch an hour type of rainstorms and blowing wind everywhere. And I could not believe the size of this bear. As it was walking up towards us on this road, you could see about every muscle in the same body, and it had this roly toly style walked it black bears do. And it just nonchalantly walked. Up to us to maybe twenty feet in front of the truck and was looking in our direction, and we were just in awe the size of this what I thought was a bear, And it was probably seven hundred eight hundred pounds, which would be above and beyond. Black bears get to be some times five hundred pounds in rare instances. Maybe I guess they could get to seven hundred pounds. I've heard of maybe a couple. But this thing was in that unbelievable size category and muscular as can be. And as we were sitting there in awe of the size and looking at this thing, it turned and walked right in front of our car at fifteen twenty feet and instantly I said, this is that is not a bear.
26:26 Its face was elongated, not to war. It had just a short, stubby style bear nose, but it was protruding out maybe six inches or so, with really long six to eight inch hair hanging down off of it. It was pouring, and of course all the hair that was on it was just really long and hanging in the rain and whatnot. But the most incredible thing about this thing was it had a tail. It was about five and a half feet long, maybe three to four inches, really thick, and it had eight inch hair hanging off this tail. The tail was hanging, not hanging, but it was almost stiff out and you could see all this hair hanging along it, which was really shaggy.
27:10 And I bears don't have any kind of tail, and this tail was really pronounced and really thick, and I'm like, that is not a bearon my girlfriend said what is that? And I said, I have no idea to the work that is. And then it turned again, walked back away from us on the road, and then turned towards the creek and crossed the road again, And so I raced right up to where it crossed this time when it went over into the bushes and rolled down the window and I shut the truck off, and just going down into this creek, it was crashing and smashing trees. We're talking fifteen year old trees that are eight nine ten inches thick. It was just snapping them in half one and. Then it crossed the river there the crik and just made it just a huge sounding, like a big horse or something crossing the creek. And I just couldn't believe what I had seen. It was no animal that's supposed to be around here. It looked just almost like a bear, but more muscular, a little more broad, but it had a tail, and I've never seen anything like that in my life. But that's the other thing. It never stood up on two legs. It was always on four legs.
28:14 But it seemed to be smaller in the back section of the waist, more of just a little skinny way down from the chest area more and from the rib cage down. And to this day, I don't know what this animal was. It was absolutely massive. It was to the seven hundred pounds maybe even more. It was absolutely as muscular as could be. Every muscle in its body you could see with the way it was raining, it was soaking wet. You could just see every muscle in its chest as it was walking up. It was just incredibly strong look and the tail was humongous. The tail was four inches around, just super thick and maybe five feet long and real stiff.
28:55 And there's no animal in the Pacific Northwest that is supposed to be looking like that. Oh man, that is confusing. And just to think that there could be another large animal out there that we have no idea what it is. I mean, it could totally be the case, though there's so much woods that's forced that's unexplored out there. I mean, yeah, And this was yeah, like I said, that was right at in long Be, Washington, up right up Colkirk where Cole Creek and Gello me to meet. There's a waterfall there. Anybody could that You could play that on any map, I'm sure any aerial photo. And it was right there and the steelhead were at the time running up that creek pretty heavy and that waterfall, I know, stops a lot of fish there.
29:37 I don't think you can steal a fish there. But we were sitting around a couple of times and watching the steelhead roll in the hole. Blow of the waterfall, so I know there was some fish in there. Whether it was cut it came up out of there or not, I don't know, but that's exactly where it crashed off too. But it was an animal that was completely unexplained, and to this day I couldn't tell you what that thing exactly was, but it sure wasn't no black bear. When it turned sideways and we could see it clearly in the headlights, it was just like, what is what am I looking at here? Did it have any ears? You could see? I didn't notice the ears. I think that just the tail with all the hair hanging sideways along it and the rain was such a stumper in its body getting it went from being really huge up front and a big barrel chested to really skinny in the waste area, and then smaller in the legs than way smaller in the.
30:33 Back half than it was in the front. It was rather large in the front, very muscular animal gorilla style, like. The big male gorillas or something like that. It was very muscular, something I had not really experienced with the bears too much, and it had a lock of the bear muscles were almost getting in the way of how fat and big. This animal was as it was walking, you know, it had the straight on appearance every kind of thing you could think of to be a bear. It looked just like a bear from that angle until it turned and I seen the tail, and I just I couldn't explain to you to state what that animal was. I don't know if there's been any other kind of sightings of anything around that area, but that's something that I seen, and that that's where I've seen it so've.
31:19 I got a hunter report from Longview just this year, but it was nothing like that. It was definitely more ape like. Was there anything feline about what you saw at all? Nothing whatsoever? I would tell it turned sideways, I would have told you it was the biggest black bear that you had, a world record black bear. Proportional. This thing was gigantic and until it turned sideways that I seen in its face was much longer than a black bear. And the tail an't no bears have tails. This one had a five foot and the tail was unmistakable, and it was very stiff and curled up, and it was just it was mind blowing.
32:00 Ever seen anything like it. I couldn't explain what the animal was there's no animal like that here we're supposed to be. Anyway, Jason. We'll see if anyone else has seen this around Longview. I might have to make a new podcast. We'll see. But yeah, that was an animal that is just unexplained, that's for sure, And these stories obviously could be verified. My father, he sits here and he's been on the phone and sitting next to me and listening into all these two but maybe sometimes you can get him on the podcast as well. He was right there and seeing the same thing I did. And both both this and the as story and the Idaho encounter. We will definitely we'll talk about that because it is always interesting when you have situations that are observed by more than one person, because we all have our own different ways.
32:48 So my friend there, Dean and Spokane, he was with us too as well, and I assure you he would be in awe to tell the story as well what exactly happened. Jason.
