hunting bigfoot

IvoB said:
your sitting in your tree stand/blind or on a five gallon pail from Home Depot - waiting for first light and get your prized buck. You know he's there got camera shots to prove it - he just has to show up and you got him - but this day would be different - you see a glowing object cast shadows of light as you rub your eyes you start to make out a couple of figures about 4 feet tall you would guess about 80 yards away. You slowly raise up your 270 Winchester to get a closer look through your scope - just a couple of greys that's all is what your trying to tell yourself. What will you do? Watch them until they zip off to the North East? and you become the laughing stock for miles around because no one will believe you - or do you place a good shot but where? head/torso? A well placed 130 Grain Core-Lokt Pointed Soft Point surely would take care of business. What will you do is the question?

What would you do? Likely be charged with manslaughter... and rightly so.

1811 David Thompson then employed by the North West Company, he and his party of eleven were near the Whirlpool River in the Rocky mountains in what is now Jasper National Park. They stumbled across large animal tracks frozen in the six inch snow.
No one could agree what made the tracks. Thompson said perhaps a very large grizzly but his native guide disagreed with him and suggested a baby whooly mammoth. Now you have to ask, what past experience made the guide to suggest this strange explanation?

When Lewis and Clark were sent to map the west and find a route to the Pacific in 1803 President Jefferson told them to gather every bit of information there was including drawings of the wooley mammoths who inhabited the area of the western plains on the east side of the Rocky Mountains . Lewis drew a couple of pictures to show members of western tribes and 2 tribes told him that those animals had been gone since the time of their fathers and Lewis recorded that . Upon their return 3 years later President Jefferson was disappointed they hadn't seen any mammoths but concluded that the time of their fathers must be no older than 100 years so the mammoths were there around 1700 . The Spanish explorer Juan Perez who sailed up the Pacific coast of North America recorded landing and meeting some north west tribe with whom he traded something for four elephant tusks .

Very interesting story sir!

Thank you for this tidbit of history.

It was believed the tracks were six hours old moving north to south pretty much perpendicular to thier trek. Dispite the persentity of the Metis and Indian guides to often track and kill animals of opportunity for food, no one volunteered to track it down. So thier westward journey continued.

Very interesting. David Thompson was about as sharp a tack as ever there was where outdoor savvy was concerned. As a kid he was my hero and actually still ranks right up there. Read everything i could on that guy growing up. On land he was #1 and on the sea it was James Cook and Shackleton. Just don't make them like that anymore.

Very true indeed. Not bad for a Scot orphan huh?
I thought I read somewhere his early maps of the Columbia River were valuable for the Lewis & Clark expedition??
Something like that.....
 
I didn't read the whole thread but, check out the 7 part series Les Stroud just released on his Youtube channel.

also is this happening to you on the North East corridor around Algonquin OP?

You can add a fourth. Thanks for the permission on your place by the way. Managed to get a cow near your place but not on it so I guess I owe you some steaks but have to help you eat them

You'll have to recount your tales of elk and sasquatch over dinner then.
 
Not personally, but my mother claims to have seen Samsquantch on multiple occasions. Up close in fact, no more than a few feet away.

She also smokes meth and heroin, so take from that what you will.
 
Taller than average, yes, but not very hairy. :D

Closer in appearance to the aliens she tells me are stealing Earth's oxygen, or so I imagine. She's seen 'em, and what your momma tells you gotta be the truth, right?
 
What the hell I'll chime in. Saw the first one in the fall of 1970 hunting with my Dad south of Robb Alberta. Watched it with binoculars from a hill for several minutes until the wind changed and it must have caught our scent, it jumped up grabbed whatever it was feeding on under its arm and ran into the bush. Fast forward to fall fall of 1980. Dad and I drove into the Aurora lookout tower area just east of Nordegg Alberta, at that time it was a hard 4 hour jeep trip up a pipeline and onto old logging roads (this area is now a wildlife preserve I believe) to hunt Elk. We had rocks thrown at the tent in the middle of the night, along with the most god awful roars and screams I've ever heard, then our camp was tore up, actually taken down and thrown in a heap would be a better description, bigfoot? Maybe. 2008 I was hunting in the Benjamin Creek area and saw a very large bipedal creature walking away from me, reddish brown long hair, massive shoulders and a coconut shaped head, if it was a man in a monkey suit he should be in Hollywood cause I could see the muscles rippling in its arms and shoulders. 2016, 35 kms from that location I had a juvenile (was only about 6') and an adult roar and throw logs towards me near dusk while I heading back from a day of Mule Deer Hunting. Saw them very clearly at about 75 yards and once again it certainly wasn't a man in a suite. It didn't even occur to me to point my gun at them, which is kinda weird I'll admit but then the rest of the night got even stranger which I'll not elaborate here.

So laugh all you want and make jokes about eating mushrooms, I know damn well what I saw and experienced.

IvoB. I don't know about Ontario where you are ( although I can guess) but here in BC a hunter is obligated by law to correctly identify his target before he pulls the trigger. Ignorance (or fear) is no excuse.

the hunter in this situation knew that it was not normal glowing lights in the forest a couple of objects of course safety is always on and finger away from the trigger
 
The way to capture the samsquantch is to put out that he's won a big prize down at the local police station but has to show up in person to collect it. The trick is to not go too big with the prize, but make it large enough so that he can't resist. A years worth of tickets for free all you can eat meals at the municipal leaf pile maybe.
