hunting bigfoot

Just because its unexplained doesn't mean its a bigfoot. Just because your mind allows fear to creep in doesn't mean its a bigfoot.
I've had lots of things happen in my life that I can't explain. Sometimes days, weeks, years later I find the explanation, but there is one.

There is just no biological way a species large enough to reproduce that is that size has gone undiscovered. Sure some small microscopic thing in the bottom of the ocean, but not a bigfoot. Even the rarest species we have on the planet show up on cell cams or as road kill from time to time. Yet with the millions of cell cams out there we only ever have blured pics of something or peoples accounts of something they can't explain.

I have no doubt something happened that scared these people and they can't explain it, but I also have 0.0000% doubt that it wasn't a bigfoot.

Did you see the story a few weeks ago about a new species of beaked whales discovered off the Galapagos? A new wild ox was found in Vietnam a few years ago.

Well not a lot of trail cams in Vietman I suspect, and a whale that they need to use DNA to confirm if it really is a different species hardly applies. Its not like the whale hadn't been seen before, just they didn't realize the slight variation.

Believe what you want, hell lots of people believe in all kinds of things that there is no proof of nor will there ever be. To each their own. But I'll bet all my life savings that in my lifetime there will never be a living bigfoot found.

Yeah seriously. I’ve spent over 50 years in the bush, seen bears swatting branches and displaying aggressive tendencies and I’ve spent a lot of time around them. Never seen one actually throw anything, have you, if so maybe you could explain your observation as opposed to simply displaying your keen sense of sarcasm.

You don't watch Big Bang Theory do you? My original post WAS sarcasm resulting from his other thread. I have spent 50 years in the bush too, 20 years outfitting and guiding bear hunters, with over 300 bears tracked and taken. Now that I have retired, I am back to guiding bear hunters... and no, I don't think bears throw trees... if Sheldon can learn to recognize sarvasm, so can you.

No I don’t watch Big Bang theory, and yes I recognize sarcasm, I just don’t think yours was justified, but then who am I to question someone as experienced as you. Perhaps rather than being so easily insulted you should be less sarcastic and more realistic in your comments. I’ve read many of your comments over the years, and I’ve normally agreed with them, you do yourself a disservice by being so petty.

I'm going to resurrect this thread because a personal experience related to this topic is on my mind currently, and actually bothering me a lot. For context I live 200km of logging roads from the nearest town and completely off grid in a very small hamlet. Lots are about 5 acres or so.

This spring, 2020, I woke up at 2-3am. I can't tell you why I did, but after a minute laying awake there was a piercing two note whistle through my open bedroom window.
Similar to a two note chickadee call(fee bee). One high pitched note followed by a low pitch note. It came from one side of my yard. Another call answered from the opposite side. But this second one choked like someone tried to whistle but didn't quite catch it right and stumbled. It immediately came again but clearly. They sounded human. And too loud for a bird.

So I start to get up and grab my problem bear shotgun with a mounted light thinking I have thieves (big problem here). And I got a chill. A chill that went through every bone in my body as every instinct I have screamed at me not to go outside. So I lay back down and did nothing.

This experience stands out to me for the simple fact that I do not feel fear. I've been a career bushman and never felt uncomfortable ever in the wilderness. Part of the reason I live where I do. That experience will always stick with me because I've never heard anything like it before, and I've never felt anything like that before. But I've read reports of people feeling that same thing when it comes to sasquatch sightings or strange occurences on the bush. I've come to rely heavily on instinct as I believe they're more acute in some ways than a lot of conscience processes. But yes, I felt true fear, in my own home and armed. And that isn't something I've felt since I was a child. I feel nothing but attention/caution or irritation dealing with bears depending on the situation. I'm comfortable sweeping my yard at in the dark looking for bears. So that should help with giving context to my normal disposition in these circumstances.

Trail cams in my yard got nothing. But I believe they were still in the trees.

I am open to any intelligent answer and please without any sarcasm. Favorite hunting spot I close the door of my truck and three steps into it I hear a single loon call. Can loons cry out when flying? Do loons land in evergreens??
Because right there this spot is about 3/4s of a mile nearest slough or pond.
And when I finished my hunt 60-70 meters to my rear, where I just was amongst the hemlocks north side of this rural and forested property I hear a single fawn bleat. And I was just there and didn't see a single critter.I heard from some that ravens have a very good vocal range. I am open to a sensible explanation folks.
I am open.

I'm not being petty, you got bent by an obviously sarcastic comment that was based on the info from two of the OP's threads... at any rate, Covid is holding us all hostage and tempers are short...
 
You also saw a Grizzly near White Lake ONTARIO stalking your hunting partner as he was sleeping on a rock after eating his chicken wings and fired off a round at a rock near him to scare the Grizzly away. I am seriously convinced it's best not to be in the same area in a very large radius where you are hunting or this is a very well thought out plan to have a hunting area to yourself by making folks think it's not safe to be in the woods at the same time as you?!!

I can’t give you an explanation, but your comment is as close to good poetry as I have ever read. Your comment was better than anything I could have written and it was a pleasure to read it.
