The Confessionals: Bigfoot Hunter | Aleksandar Petakov

Tony writes “In Episode 462: Bigfoot Hunter we are joined by Aleksandar Petakov, a filmmaker and bigfoot hunter.

He is notably known for his series through Small Town Monster entitled “Bigfoot Beyond The Trail” where he is actively boots on the ground searching for the elusive cryptid. With being able to do this through Small Town Monsters Aleks has been able to stay true to form and not have network executives trying to manipulate his tactics or video for the purpose of selling a product. We talk about places he has gone, his general thoughts on cryptids, and general back-and-forth bigfoot banter.”

    SC is by far the most reliable source of info on the topic IMO. I think Wes is doing an excellent job of cherry picking the most credible testimony. You’d be lucky to find 1% truth in everything else out there in the media combined about Sasquatch. For the true woods wise witness, a vast majority of all the videos in media are people either trying too hard to see the creature and are either manifesting their own paradolia and attributing far to many structures, so called prints, misidentified sound, people and animals as Sasquatch…don’t forget the hoodwinkers and misleaders…it makes it tough to extract what is actually credible. I used to think the BC Sasquatch that steps into a hole on Thunker looked pretty good, until I developed my own method to analyze a photo and extract detail to the point where you could literally tell it was a logger being attacked by a bird lol…I even extracted what kind of chainsaw he had, visor, earmuffs, blue jeans and a cut log on the ground….good grief. Seeing one for real is such a random thing that unless you’re in a perfect area at the right time of year and it is familiar with you, you aren’t looking for it, trying to get video, annoying it or being any kind of threat by exposing it, you’d be hard pressed to get evidence…and if you did outwit them and they got agitated and saw you as a future threat you probably shouldn’t go back in that area again. You can sit with the silverback gorilla in the jungle if you know what your doing, but you never overstep their boundaries and try to touch them, scream at them or be loud, stare at them, take flash pictures of or mock them or your basically hamburger…Now take a creature that is also annoyed by but curious of people, except this one is more elusive, talented, intelligent, tactical and stealthy…throw in a couple extra abilities that humans don’t even understand and you possibly get Sasquatch. Merkle…steer clear of gorilla or Sasquatch expeditions….I’m pretty sure you ain’t gonna see either in person unless your last memory is one charging you lol….sorry bud:) Keep up the always great content Wes

    I really liked this show. Petakov seems to be seeking the truth and tests everything to see if it’s truly evidence of sasquatch. He seems to be a bigfoot researcher who really does research. He doesn’t come across as the typical know it all BF “expert”. Also a great job by Tony conducting the interview. I wouldn’t mind hearing more from these two. Thanks Wes.
