SC EP:178 Sasquatch encounter on Lewis Lake

 

My first guest was ill and was unable to make the show. I had already planned on having my brother Woody on the show tonight to talk about what we experienced up at Yacolt on Christmas night. I hope everyone enjoys tonight’s show.I have a video shot and I am working on editing it and posting it to the site.

I also will be speaking to Jean who is from Washington and had an encounter a few years back. Jean writes “I’ve been listening to your show for about a year now. What drew me to it came from looking up information about Bigfoot on the net and I ran across your show. My family also listens as well. After a bit of discussion off and on about telling someone what happened to us, my family was in agreement that I could contact you.

In 2004, we went camping with a couple other families at Chambers Lake on Ft. Lewis over the Memorial Day weekend. There was eight people all together and three dogs. Where we were camping was by the lake but actually in a picnic area, because all the designated sites had already been occupied when we arrived. We were all tent camping. Anyway, when we were setting up camp, we noticed that one of the cement picnic tables was smash, like some sort of ordinance had hit it a while back. we thought it was strange but just used the other table instead. Our dog we tethered to the broken picnic table. This was a Friday. In the early evening we all heard some strange sounds, and asked another camper about it, and he told us that he thought someone was training dogs near by, it didn’t sound like that to us, but we accepted the answer he gave.

So we were camping and having fun. No one was drunk, a few of us had small kids to tend to, and we were just camping. When night was starting to come we started a fire. We were talking for several hours and everything was fine. A while later some went to their tents for the night, I and three others continued talking around the campfire. Then we heard something strange. Across from our campsite was a gravel road, and beyond that was a huge field of scotch broom. A good six feet tall. We started to hear a sound like the scotch broom was whipping around. A few times we stopped talking, the noise stopped, and we continued talking. And BTW, we are noisy campers.
Then it got loud in the scotch broom field again. This time we stopped talking and listened, and it kept coming closer it sounded to us. The guy across from the fire from me stood up from his lawn chair, also at that moment we heard a pounce on the gravel road. He said, “Jeanie, what is that?” I heard a second pounce on the gravel and stood up out of my chair and turned around. That’s when I saw it. But only for a moment.

By the time I saw it, it was on our side of the road and was dipping into the trees next to where we were camped. It was Tall. Dark. I didn’t see hair, but the others said they did, but what I noticed was that the back of its head was higher than the front. I just saw its profile as it ran. And it ran fast.
We stood there stunned and silent, I think we were in shock. Then my dog started going crazy, trying to choke himself to get away from it and to us. Then we screamed, men and women, and my dog was still trying to get away. Let me tell you one thing about my dog, he was an Alfa male. He didn’t get buffaloed by anything. But this thing he was scared shitless of. And we could hear that it was close to him because we could hear branches and stuff snapping, really close by. My husband came out of our tent. He told us to shine the flashlight near the dog, we were all too scared to. We simply did not want to see that again. Then one of the other men came over and helped him free our dog.

Everyone was up at this point and started asking us what happened. We told them. My husband said it was just probably some army ranger running around in a guilly suit. None of us thought that was a very good explanation, but that’s the one we went with. Then one of our friends said that her dog started doing something strange right before my dog went nut. She said her dog was trying to dig a hole under their tent. Then we all realized that one dog was unaccounted for. We found her burrowed under a truck. We stayed up long while then went to our tents.

The next day was fine. During the day. But one thing odd that did happen was that some people were riding horses near us, all our dogs barked and tried to chase the horses, but the guy in the guilly suit, they wanted nothing to with. That we remarked about.( Now it is Saturday.) Then as it started to get dusk, we hear some strange screams. Kind of like a woman. But not quite. Kind of confusing to describe, but it sounded like she was in distress. The men took off running from our campsite and into the scotch broom where the screams were coming from. In there, they ran into other campers who had done the same thing. They never found the screaming women.
Then when it was getting dark, we lit a big fire, and kept it stoked, burning bright. Nothing happened for several hours, so we went to our tents. Then about a half hour later one of our friends started complaining that they could hear heavy feet tromping in back of their tent. Everyone got up, pulled the tent stakes up on that tent and pulled it in closer to the rest of ours.

The next morning, Sunday, we packed up and left even before eating. We had a permit to stay until Monday, but we had had enough. Oddly none of us talked about it until about a month and a half later, when we did, we all described what we saw and realized we saw a Bigfoot. and we believe that first night that it might have been trying to eat my dog. It’s just a feeling that we all have. The following summer, 2005, Chambers Lake was closed for camping, because of a supposed bear encounter. We don’t think it was a bear.

So then we started camping out at Lewis Lake, also on Ft. Lewis, but not very far from Chambers. Everything was fine the first few years, but two summers ago strange things started happening out their also. One night my daughter and son in law heard heavy foot steps around the back of their tent. My son also heard that from the tent he was in. No one looked because they were afraid to. Also on that trip my granddaughter and her friend found two deer sculls not too far in the tree line in back of our campsite. That was odd we all thought. Then last summer we were camping at Lewis Lake again. There was our party, 11 of us, and across the lake from us looked like a family of 4, then on the other side of the lake between us and the small family was a bunch of boy scouts camping. Not too far from our campsite we found not large, but pretty big foot prints in some mud. What was odd about the prints is that they were wide feet. Very wide feet. I would love to see the shoes that would fit those.

Later that night, after dark, we started hearing whooping sounds in the woods in back of us. Then we heard some whooping it sounded like over by where the boy scouts were. At first it was whooping between our camp and the boys scouts. But it sounded like an echo so there was some distance. Then it started in behind where the family of 4 were right across the lake from us. But pretty close to them. That family drove off and left their tent and the fire still lit in the middle of the night. I don’t think we are going back to Lewis Lake anymore.”

    There are many people who don’t agree with Wes’s view on needing to kill one of these creatures, but the truth is he is absolutely right, the last fifty years of video and pictures has not been good enough for the main stream to accept the creatures existence, so how is the next fifty years of pictures or footage going to make a difference, it’s not, one needs to be shot.

  7. Nancy A

    Wes, do you ever consider that if you guys get your self-satisfaction and shoot a Sasquatch that you could make it MUCH more dangerous for campers, hikers, and hunters in this area? I am no tree hugger, nor opposed to hunting in general. However, I do think that the Sasquatch are probably the most intelligent creatures in the woods next to man. They obviously think and have a language and family groups. Other than defending your life, why in God’s name do you think that it is justifiable to kill one? You guys went into their turf and when they protest your intrusion you think it gives you cause to kill them? I am sorry Wes and Woody, I just don’t get your point of view on this.

    Even Bob Garrett could have killed one on several occasions from what I hear, but he hasn’t yet. He strikes me as having a conscious about this.

    Please think long and hard before you set yourself, and others, up for a lot more grief than you ever imagined. Once that bullet leaves the chamber, like words, you can never take it back.

    • Knobby

      Nancy, there is a theory that sasquatches were once more aggressive to humans but the introduction of guns into the wilderness has pacified them some and made them very leery of humans to where they are less inclined to accost people than they once were. But you are correct they do seek revenge, but they often single out the person who has made the offense against them to take revenge.

  8. Gabriel H

    My lourd do I love hearing the boys back together.

    GREG! Y’gotta come on air man. No pressure. But you HAVE TO!… Sorry. No pressure. Do it

    Jean: Thank-you so much for coming on. Much appreciated

    Thanks Y’all

    ~Gabe~

    Do it Greg

  12. Nancy A

    I used to live up in that area that Jean talked about. All of that area around Yelm, Roy, and the Fort Lewis Reservation and the Nisqually Indian Reservation have had Sasquatch sitings. There is a natural corridor running through there to the south east. Look at the Google aerial maps and you can see it. Lots of wetlands and areas for deer. You get south around Lewis county, and there are also elk herds. They are wintering around Rochester now. I used to live out on Offut Lake in South Thurston County years ago but was not aware of Sasquatch in those days. It was surrounded by hundred of acres of forest lands, but it is getting more populated. It has that same terrain and ground cover that Jean describes. I would not be surprised to hear of Sasquatch out there too. I would love to hear from more folks in the SW Washington area that have had encounters.

    I have lived in Vancouver WA for over 25 years, although have not had the pleasure of meeting Wes. Last summer I heard a whoop when I was camping up on the Wind River but nothing more exciting than that. I look forward to more adventures this Spring as the weather permits. I just hope some idiot doesn’t go up there and kill one and piss the rest of the tribe off and fix it for good for the rest of us!

    • Mark T

      I also live in Vancouver, Washington…

      I wonder how many of us there are in Clark County…

      I’d love to meet some other people, seeing as how I won’t go camping by myself after seeing a big male that was over 11 feet tall 28 years ago (episode 102).

      I found a 17-inch foot print just west of Andersen Road when I was about 12 years old… Before the population of Vancouver exploded (back around 1973).

  13. Chris B

    @ Nancy….here’s another angle. While shooting one would be horrible…the point is to hopefully get it out publicly before the government comes a knocking and covers it up. It’s ALREADY DANGEROUS…the public is just oblivious to this fact until it’s too late. Proving it exists at least gives the public knowledge to avoid more “Missing 411” occurrences. Knowledge is power. Ignorance is the danger.

    • Jay Carlsen

      Yes Of Course . But NO WONDER these Things are recluse. I am sure they are not as Intelligent as we are , But How Hard would it Be to Figure Out that ANY Interaction w/ Man always ends up Bad for them ? Do you actually Think you could Get Away with It ? If these Things stay close ? Lets say you get the Carcass out , Do You Suspect that these People who work for the Department would just let it make the Nightly News ? IF you could even Find a Venue that would bring something Serious to the Public ? If there are People who have been contacted bye 2 Men , That Threaten Consequences if word gets Out ? ( We still have the First Amendment don’t we ?) Would You be willing to Risk a Murder Charge ? Would you be willing to Gamble your Freedom , against a 25 + year Prison Sentence ? What if you Find it IS another manor of Human ?
      I am sure I am looking at it wrong ? I have always had interest w/ the Topic . But isn’t it a little Judgmental ? ( I mean I understand People have Gone Missing in the National Parks. & I am sure they are Dangerous. I can see this Feral Being can be Cannibal. Just like Any wild Animal is Capable of. I can not even imagine loosing someone I loved , to such Circumstances. How Terrible. My Heart goes out to them . But would you be Certain that the one You Shot did that ?

      • Jack33

        J.Carlsen -“Lets say you get the Carcass out , Do You Suspect that these People who work for the Department would just let it make the Nightly News ?”
        I’m afraid he’s got a point there.

        The people of this country have NO idea how tightly controlled and propagandized their news is. In fact, the majority of news stories reported onat the national level aren’t even organic events, they’re manufactured and fake.
        5 corporations own all of what we see, hear and read, and those 5 corporations are wholly subservient to the executive powers of the United States of America -in other words, they work for them not us.
        Free press in this country is dead; it’s been dead for quite a while.

        I often wonder how we’d get the word out if we had a body because the reality is, people won’t believe it if they don’t see it in the news.

        Cheers.

  14. Karen D

    Great show Wes….thank you Woody for coming on even though you’re going through some personal issues…sure nice to hear you laugh (see the show is just good medicine) I agree about one will have to be shot …it is OUR forest and planet and home too ….you can be sure that these animals have killed way more humans over the centuries than humans have them ! Think of how many innocent lives could be saved in the future if the public is informed before they enter the forest????
    Wes ..I hope you can reconsider posting pics for the many that so apreciate and not let a few sour grapes ruin it for the rest of us (please please)
    Thank you too Jean????
    Again…..Great show Wes!!

  15. Nancy A

    Chris, It has been documented that people have shot them in the past. They just never brought the bodies in. Bears and cougars are dangerous too but it takes a license to hunt them. I have encountered bear in the woods several times and have a healthy respect for them. Just because I saw a bear it had not crossed my mind to just shoot it because it was in front of me and I could take the shot. Again, I am not opposed to hunting, and do own a hand gun.

    I personally know people who have not had the dangerous encounters with sasquatch that others describe. I have said before that my personal opinion, and it is an opinion, that sasquatch remind me of how the Indian tribes were in the 1700s and 1800s; some were friendly and some weren’t. It also took time to get to know the ones that were willing to communicate in a non-threatening way. By and large the sasquatch in Washington are not known to be killers. The Indians refer to “mutual respect” and that the sasquatch have their ways and we have ours. As long as there is mutual respect there will be no problems. Somewhere down the line I am concerned that the lack of respect for these living beings is going to create larger problems with them.

    I will respectfully disagree with Wes and many on this board about shooting these unique beings just to prove they exist. I don’t need a body to shove in front of a camera to say “I told you so.”

  16. Elise B

    Be fair, Wes, some people stuck up for the border patrol pics……<<

    I am real impressed by you saying you wanna bag one, but it seems like a risk. I mean, good, but it'll be already too late to run if others appear, unless you shot it from the car window. So what'll you do? Hand grenades?

  17. Dave J

    Wes this I D from show 176 an now you know why I didn’t pull the trigger. My I counter wasn’t an aggressive one ether. But I’m with you I wish someone would,just make sure you can get away with it an there’s not more in the area thanks for another great show

  21. Reid D

    Good one Wes!! Just be careful and watch your six and watch out for little brother!! Please put that .380 away your just going to piss one off! Smallest Id carry would be a .40!! Take care my friend and have a good New Year!!

  23. Donna A

    Good to hear Woody back for this show and that you all came through this Yacult experience OK. Enjoyed Jean’s story, too. We can never send enough “THANK YOU”s to you Wes for all the good you do in this topic, including providing pictures & videos for others to ponder. We listeners are both safer and wiser from all of the information on SQ and equally important, so many have been comforted by being able to tell their encounters in a safe forum. By far the BEST sasquatch show ever!

  24. Elise B

    I enjoyed hearing Woody with you again. Your brother sounds like a hoot. I think he’d get along with Bob Garrett…..lol.

    Now you know why all those people post material with the caption: You be the judge…..lol

  25. Kim L

    Thank you, Wes and Woody for the great show.
    Special thanks for sharing the interaction of you three brothers, felt like I was there.
    You guys are fortunate to have that relationship and share those scary crazy times you’ll all tell your grandkids about.
    Oh, it’s been said- 4 wheel drive, means you can get stuck in worse places!

  26. Curtis G

    You bunch of crazy guys! I am jealous that you and your brother can go bigfoot hunting together. I am stuck in Japan and my brother lives in NYC—the only things he hunts is business opportunities.

  27. Christine J S

    Wes & Woody TOGETHER! What a COMPLETE JOY to hear the laughter and rapport you share with each other. I swear you could talk on any subject and light up the world with your enthusiasm and antics for life. Thanks for bringing in your little brother…he’s a crack-up too.
    Your encounter was awesome too, but the best was your laughter. Thanks for starting 2016 on a wonderful note. Happy New Year Everyone.

  28. Debbie C

    I agree with Nancy A’s comment.
    I’m glad no creature/animal was harmed.
    I enjoyed listening to Wes and Woody’s story.

    The second guest, your dogs were trying to
    tell you they are extremely frighten.
    I’m glad you notice.

    Enjoy 2016, hope it’s a better year for all~

  30. JAMES B

    Loved the show!!!
    Reminds me of my family. One of us could fall off the roof and break a leg, but if it was done in a comical fashion, the one injured would have to wait for the histerical laughter died down before anyone could help…..
    Such a scary situation, but being able to keep it light with camaraderie is the best.
    Just be careful! A lot of us have come to care a lot about you and your brother. And get yourself an AR-15!!! Soon!
    With a 20 round clip and spares.

  32. MARC T

    Im in tge no kill group. I believe that our government is partly responsible for some hoaxes just to keep the ball rolling as far as influencing the public that this thing is a crypto just like a unicorn or an elf in the forest. Im partly saying this because I remember thr Georgia Bigfoot Hoax in 2008(?) There WAS TWO PICTURES of that thing in the cooler, one being the rubber suit and the other?! Who knows, I cannot locate it anywhere online. I only find the one picture of the rubber suit in the cooler. I also remember comparing the coolers and they were not the same one! There was two coolers! If anyone can find the second picture email me marcnh@yahoo.com. I even searchef on the wayback machine Internet archive with no luck. Someone didn’t want us to see that second pucture.

  33. Scott A

    Maybe the species near Bob Garrett in East Texas are more aggressive than other types. Maybe mental illness is more common among them. And maybe they only became more aggressive after other people shot them or toward them before Bob found them and by others since he found them. Imagine if you shot the one and went over to cut its head off. There were probably others watching. How would they react toward you? How would they treat other people who enter their territory thereafter?

  34. June P

    Wes and Woody,
    I laughed my head off at this episode. The encounter was really cool, and I thought the levity you injected was perfect!
    I was laughing so hard at the way brothers ( and guys in general ) pick on one another. My own brothers are just like you guys!

  36. Rob N

    the sound Wes described it made as it shadowed them down towards the car isnt a whole lot different from the ‘cooing’ sound reported on an earlier episode, – maybe this was also a female – checking things out – as it were 😉

  38. Kay S

    Loved the show, great fun.
    Wouldn’t it be wonderful if someone could capture a live one, a dream I know, but we all got to have them. Shooting one is the next best option.
    Wes, don’t stop posting video just because a few sad types jumped all over the border patrol surveillance one. I thought it was very convincing. Just keep posting them, good, bad and indifferent.

  39. Amy D

    Hey Wes, Another great show! Always love it when Woody comes back! I was wondering if you thought it was a sort of healing for you and Woody being in the presence of another Sasquatch which seemed to not be an aggressive one? I hope so. You guys are the best.

  40. Russell K

    Just a few honest questions.. Where are the picts of footprints left in the snow After the shoooting? Should have been easy to track in daylight? Snow was knee deep? All animals leave sign.

  41. michael n

    Question: did you hit it? I don’t recall hearing one way or the other. A head shot has to be the safest and only way to guarantee a quick kill. I say shoot one and drag its violent evil ass in!! One less baby snatcher in this world is fine with me. If you’re on the no kill side, go camp down in east Texas alone or in the back yard where the siege of honobia took place. We’ll come collect your belongings and what’s left of your body the next morning. Your right, we share the forests with them but we don’t sneak up on them at night and snatch their kids or kill their pets etc etc when they aren’t looking. These events are completely unprovoked!! They are a mean species much like us. Look at it this way, if someone shoots one and the public is informed of just how dangerous these things are less people will go camping etc and therefore the squatches will have more land to roam without inteference from us. Sounds good anyway,huh??!! Lo . Couldn’t resist trying to play the flute for a minute. I’m not good at it so I think I’ll leave it to others…????. Very nice show wes. Its always nice to hear you and woody together. He should do the show full time with you!! God bless

  44. Mark T

    Woody shooting at a black shape reminds me of something a friend of mine would do when hunting in some other community.

    We’d stop for breakfast at some local truck stop were all of the local farmers would also gather for breakfast each morning…

    We’d discuss how the hunting was. Then one of us would say, “Did you see any bucks?”

    To which our friend would loudly reply, “No, but I got a couple of good brush shots!” (Much to the horror of the locals… That outsiders were running around taking pot shotscat anything that moved in the brush).

    I had a good friend I went hunting with who turned and shot at some “wild beast” charging towards us… Not only didy girlfriend at the time suffer a severe temporary hearing injury from a muzzle blast mere inches from her ear (with no warning), but my friend killed a lumbering porcupine!

  50. Lise B

    Wes
    I’m really disappointed.You really need to think twice about shooting one. Remember when you said.. When someone shoots one,it will be the end of it for that guy [maybe you]. Do you want that? And remember your family will be affected also. Don’t be that guy.I’m glad you felt some remorse.. I don’t like the thought of one being shot,never mind a juvenile. It made me kind of ill listening to you last night. Sorry
    I hope you change your mind about that. I do enjoy listening to the show. And hope to continue.

  51. Lise B

    PS
    I understand you don’t want to do this show for the rest of your life and would like to move on to something else some day… and i respect that.
    But shooting one is probably not the way you want to make an exit.

  52. Richard S

    Great show guys! I can’t help but notice something that you guys have discussed in numerous episodes and that is where there’s one Sasquatch there’s usually more and the fact that you guys went Rambo that night knowing historically there’s numerous BIG aggressive Sasquatch befuddles me. Be safe guys, don’t become part of the food chain.

  53. Michelle L

    I agree with both Wes and Nancy A. on the shooting of one but ultimately side with Nancy. I don’t agree with killing for the sake of killing. It’s wrong and needing proof just isn’t enough of a reason to take a life. I get it – many will disagree with this and that’s cool. I think SC folks are able to hear an opinion, disagree and be polite about it. If we all had the same opinion, the world would be boring. I can see both sides but my gut says absolutely not to shooting a creature for the sake of proof. Great show, btw. Loved the Greg stories and glad you survived an outing with him, never mind the squatches. 🙂

  54. Diana A

    if you and your members recall you have episodes that claiming the government has already colkected bodies. They already HAVE BODIES. film, pictures, footprint casts AND bodies are not enough!!! Its about money. If it is true, HUMANS, GREEDY HUMANS, EVIL HUMANS,–dont care about life! My CA ancestors were hunted by bounty hunters(evil humans who were paid over a million dollars in the first year CA was a state) so US could Claim CA for profits of its resources. They couldnt kill all of us, so they forced my ancestors to live on non valueabke land and make unavailable a value of 0.42 cents an acre for CA LAND Which was NOT ditributed.
    Who benefitted? US didnt use this $ wisely, so here we are. Booting you guys up to go out and kill. Missing 411 dosent say Bigfoot is doing it. They r saying THEY DONT KNOW WHAT iS HAPPENING. Theyre missing.
    Financial propertiers with no conscience want you clearing the path for them so they can tear down the forests for profit of wood, real estate and water(Many other nefarious ideas as well)
    please go over the facts, stories you have provided your own listeners. You have their attention. Be logical.

  56. DonRay

    i guess Wes’s POV wasnt as well known as i thought,, or he thought…. But unfortunately, thats the only way this mystery will be solved.. Science wont have it any other way…… I am pro shoot in certain situations,, Life or death of course… Instead of lead, we should use tranq’s or other ways,,i think we can figure something out………………. I will ask this question again,, Why did people we read about in 100-200yr old newspaper articles have no problem catching and caging these creature, whats changed??…….Ciao

  59. Mike B

    ummm,why do we have to prove they exist? i know they do.you know they do.i’m sure a lot more people in the years to come will realize they exist.the government know they exist for fuck sake.i’m not against shooting one,i just want to know why.i grew up on rez and i was trappin and huntin from an early age.my folks taught me to respect the animals that i hunted and you use as much of the critter as posible.so again,why do we have to prove to a bunch of sanctimonious,know it all morons who wouldn’t belive it if one bent them over and stump broke their blind ass’s? just askin.

    • Diana A

      In the name of science, to have a body meant a plentifil source. One half of the population of wildlife that ecisted in 1960 is gone. Due to hunting. Gathering specimans for personal collections and study. Now, half is left!!
      In the “old school” and ignorant way of doing things…a body is needed. I would hope, if we as humans are as intelligent as you assume, we wouldnt need a body. Of which your shows already state,”bodies already have been collected”.

  61. william g

    With all due respect guys,a serious lapse of judgement on your part to shoot at something you havent positively identified.What if you had went back the next day and found a person’s body?

  62. PATRICK

    Perhaps those who didn’t enjoy the thoughts of the encounter could avoid shaming.name calling.speculation as though it is fact.
    A public specimen is the logical next step Since no aamount of video or nonmatching dna will ever suffice.we all see those who attack legitimacy of other evidences based on their opinions. .imo.

  63. william g

    I’m not about to shame anyone,but the first rule of hunting is positve identification of what you are shooting,no hate intended,but for guys who hunt and enjoy firearms,you better know what you are shooting at.

  65. Audie J

    Wes ….do what u need to do for you….what u can live with …..because it doesn’t matter either way the comments good or bad will come…..you have a bigger then life personality and your heart seems to be the same…..keep up the great work ……I love the podcast ????????????

  66. Stan B

    Sorry but what people find hilarious about this episode absolutely baffles me. Watch your credibility Wes, having an encounter everytime you go out into the woods sends out red flags to a lot of people. Regarding you saying one needs to be shot why? When you say the government already has a body, i reckon they have more than one body so whats the point in Shooting anymore. Sorry but on this occasion i totally disagree with you on this one!

    • Knobby

      Stan, who says he has an encounter every single time, and if you go into their habitation zone they will often check you out. It’s common for me to hear sticks snapping after sundown in the area I go to as they usually come in closer to check us out when we go to a particular area. There are no red flags with that.

  69. Jane M

    Wow lots of different opinions. The world seems to be shrinking and we have less water and room. How to live together, not allow humans, animals and livestock to be taken is something we have learned to do in many places, like Africa. I also do this right here on my horse and cattle ranch w cougars, deer, badgers and Bobcats o w horses, dogs and cattle. Sometimes a deer gets eaten, a coyote tries to take my Weirner dog, a sheep gets taken, but its a can do w these critters and us. If a cougar kills a calf it gets killed it moved. Basic common sense. We can’t move Bigfoot, because we don’t know how. I don’t think this argument is really about shooting an aggressive monstrous Bigfoot. I think people are afraid of the world being too small, so they argue kill or no kill. If Wes and Woody are capable of very carefully and secretly finding a specimen, I would think if we are capable of learning about these creatures, then the next thing Wes can help strategize would be how to live, protect and give these creatures their own areas, food source and a feeling that they are safe and not endangered, away from humans. Now this is if and big IF the world does not run out of food, water, space etc or die off from epidemic weather conditions or disease. I think we all need to stop speaking out of fear or who is right or wrong about kill, but really how we can live seperately but safely w them on this crowded planet. I mean really, open up your damn mind and stop fighting over the small stuff. Its a different world noe folks! Move forward. Figure this shit out now.

    Killer show. Woody and Wes are 100% honest. They don’t hide behind a curtain and you guys know when to laugh. Isn’t that life?!? Thanks dudes, you rock. Really!

    Dear Wes and Woody, Hope you guys had a good Christmas, and that 2016, will be better for the both of you. Hey, don’t put any stock in the dames’ nagging about shooting one or more of these critters! I just hope you have large enough calibers for the job, Shoot first, ask forgiveness later. Love you dudes! Take care, and please give me a call sometime. David.

    P.S. Just food for thought; if that thing in the tree line was a young one, where in the world do ya think the older ones’ were? You, my friends were being set up, and if you hadn’t been armed, and if they hadn’t seen that you were armed, you probably would have had a very different scenario! (love typing while I’m listening to the show!) Anyway, I’m seeing my prayers for you guys, answered; especially when I hear you made it back safe and sound.
    No, you’re not getting soft in your old age, just wiser. That comes from having kids of your own! That process, in and of itself, is usually enough to change a man form a tree-hugging-lib, to someone with good sense. Me personally, the older I get, the more I have to keep myself from picking a fight! (I really do have an Elijah complex; kind of a cross between John the baptizer/revelator, John Wayne, Elijah, with some overtones of Dirty Harry!) Fear not, the Good Lord has been pummeling me for many years now, and one Day, I’ll see Him, and be like Him, for I shall see Him as He is! Can’t hardly wait!
    Sorry if I got a tad miffed at you the other day (the religion of evolutionism), it’s just I see the damage that it causes and has caused-millions of dead/slaughtered!
    Well, ya’ll stay safe, personally, I’m much more fearful of the Govt. , than I am of some poor stupid Squatch! Blessings!
