Cold lake Manitoba …April 1935 …Prospector Harry Morin is traveling up the Burntwood lake area by canoe with kicker motor (outboard motor) after a long day he decides to make camp on an island for the night.
After setting up his camp he heads over to the mainland with rifle in hand to find some wild chickens and rabbits for supper,he came across an old game trail so he decided to follow it ,it was unusually quiet that day ,as he was walking along the trail he heard a rustling in the thick brush ,thinking it mite be a bear he cocked his rifle and crouched low to the ground ,all of a sudden he heard some ape like sounds and so he peaked over a low ridge ,there before him were two Sasquatches ,a female and a young one ,the mother stood almost seven feet tall and was very heavy set ,the younger one was almost five feet tall.
The prospector became very scared and he knew he had no chance with a 22.caliber rifle to kill the female,he watched them for several minutes as they fed (no mention on what they were eating. The mother was very generous with the feeding of the young one ,both were dark brown in color ,Morin decided it was time to leave ,he was not sure if the creatures were aware of his presence . He cancelled his hunting trip that day and hastily made his way back to his island camp where he felt safer . The next morning he packed his stuff and made his way back to Cold lake ,he told people of his story and was ridiculed by some people but and old Native fellow believed him because he claimed to have shot and killed a large male for raiding a fish camp. Years later some people came across a cave in the area where they found a very large skeleton.

These old stories are sooo cool to read. Wes should narrate an old story like this on his show. There’s just something about the way Wes adds music and his touch to stories like this to make more interesting.

No freggin way I have been up there!! I hunted the interlake for 3 years. Its so far back in there that we took a nodwell track machine 25 miles back in the bush. I drove a atv 15 miles behind it in 20deg weather. That place is remote and many time I felt like I was walkin where no people had ever been. Never killed a deer in 3 years there but the remoteness is worth the trip.

I agree, encounters are the gold.
Even if they are narrated. The stories from the folks is where it’s at.
