Hunting Guide Encounters Sasquatch

A listener writes “I am a 20 plus year big game guide from B.C. born/raised on Vancouver Island, guided fishermen for years as well. I have done 120 days straight via remote horseback camps in the Yukon and many arts of remote BC, ran around Alaska a few times, been in remote areas basically all over Canada and the U.S. for many years.

Anyway, have listened to many of your guest stories online and have finally made the time to shoot you a quick note.

I have had a hand full of experiences with these beings over the years including a face to face as one waited for me above my trail as I hiked out solo bow hunting when I was 18, longest hike out of the woods ever. I have been in a cabin as it was ‘slapped’ so hard the wood stove shook, heard screams, found foot prints, had 14 ft high camp caches ruined, 16 ft high stands ripped apart ( 8″X3/4” lag bolts into cedar trees with 2X10’s), 130# wall tent ‘tossed’ (folded up) off the top of a 14ft tall cache and landed about 25 yards out on a gravel bar (no teeth or claw holes in it), been screamed at, had two beating trees above me while wolf trapping, heard two ‘yelling’ out, founds prints, the list goes on.

Where I live is a major traffic way for these beings. I ‘thought’ they moved through but the local natives explained to me there are a few groups who live here year round.

Where I am is the valley that drains out into Harrison B.C. The head of my valley is very close to where Albert Ostman had his unfortunate few days in the woods years ago. I quit guiding for a few seasons and decided to intentionally seek the beings out. I ended up with a major ‘F-U’ in my face from them and havent pursued them intentionally since. I now carry myself with a “I know you are here, you know I am here, lets not ruin it for each other” and mind my own business, seems to be working so far but the timer I spend in the woods, I know ‘its’ coming again, just dont know when, and I definitely do not crave it to say the least.

I am certain we could talk on the subject for endless hours and I like that you are letting people share their experiences and supporting them the way you do.”

    This listener would make a great guest on a show, he seems to have been out in the woods for many years.

    I cringed when I read he was confronted while solo bow hunting ?
    Personally, I believe bowing hunting brings out aggressive behavior and it’s really scary when you go solo….anytime into the forest!
