Just got up! Late night watching remote video Squatch's.
I just think they're cool how they hide.

Ive always wondered...since all bigfoots somehow all collectively have the same goal to never be discovered no matter what...why do they always answer back to bigfoot locating calls on the bigfoot shows? Why dont they remain quiet?

Hay 330- trapper. I never saw one. But, I saw some crazy stuff in the woods! We use a corn feeder that the legs slide in slots on the side. The feeder stands about 9’ tall. I have to back a four wheeler to it to fill it and I’m 6’2. We have to stake down the legs and put up cattle panels a round it with T posts to keep the hogs out! I went out there to take it down after hunting season. And there it was, in the middle of the trail, about 40 yards from were it supposed to be. It was opened up and not broken. The cattle panels were still up and the bottom of the legs were still staked down . It looked like something, picked it straight up and carried it to the trail, and opened it and ate all the corn! If that was a coon? What kind of trap do I need! I seen all kind of stuff!

One time, I found a new spot. It was a creek , down a old logging road. I set about dozen traps on the creek and woods around it. We have a 24 hour check here, so I was back in less than 24 hours. When I walked down the old road, something broke a 6” tree. About 4’ up and the top part laid across the road and was hooked to another tree. And they had two other trees, broke the same way on each side of the road. Like a fence. We didn’t have any bad weather come through. So, I went and checked my traps and all I caught was a coon. So, I pulled them. I still trap that area. About 2 miles away. The same thing happened on another trail! All these woods are connected. I guess we have some big beavers here!

Sometimes when I have to walk to parts of my line. I hear trees falling when the wind isn’t blowing. One time I was going down one of my trails and I saw something on the side of it. So I stopped and went to check it out. It was a stack of small bones with the skull on top. One time, we had a caff died. It weighed about 125#. So, I got it and put it on one of my coyote trails and watch it for sigh , so I could set traps. After about 4 days, it was gone! So, I walked around the spot, for about 25 yards out to see any sign. Nothing, no drag marks or blood or hair! Nothing! I do know, when I see crazy sigh. My fur count is down for that area and it takes a little longer get my deer for the freezer. I guess I need to run cameras when I start to see the sigh.

Who do there Gator. You need some cams out for sure.


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I never even thought about Bigfoot or anything! When it’s time to trap, I trap! Go, go ,go. Don’t look back! As I got older. That’s when I started to see more! The first time I started to think about it, was about 10 years ago. One summer,I was walking down a new trail. It was tight. About half a mile down it I saw a twisted pine tree about 4” in diameter. It was on the side of the little trail. What got me was I was in reforest. And all the trees were around 2’ in diameter. Then all of a sudden, it felt like I was being watched. So, down the trail I went. I came to another trail, so I went down it always. Then I saw some scat in the middle of the trail. It was about 3” in diameter and about 14”long and yellowish. In my whole life I never saw scat like that! So, now I carry a rifle with me when I’m running or checking my lines. Just in case I see what made it. We don’t have bears in that area. In those days, they didn’t have cell phones, so I couldn’t take a picture. I think a lot of trappers and hunters see sigh, but, they were like me!! Go. Go. Go. And I still go. Go. Go. But, I look more now. I’m to old and bad shape to run.

Scott, is that picture from a local high school play? It looks like it was taken in a studio. I think those little "evergreens" are fake Christmas trees.
Interesting model though.

I think I recall that photo being taken at a halloween party I attended around 1979. Right about then is when I developed my interest in persueing Squatch.
