I am in the process of contacting this witness. A listener writes “My wife and I have been contemplating contacting you as we began listening to your show a few months ago. Your podcast last night kinda got us thinking that we should again, coupled with the fact that we recently had an experience that has us concerned.
Like the couple you had on tonight, we too recently moved into a new home in January. This is the home that we have searched for, for a long time and couldn’t believe we found it in our price range. We bought it and moved in. The winter up here in Alaska has been a really mild one and in March, we decided to head out to a large lake about 45 minutes from our home to see if the ice was already out on it so we could plan a trip out in the boat.
When we arrived it was late afternoon and the ice had indeed gone out. We decided to take a walk along the shore line that still had patches of snow to see what we could find. Now I need to preface here with the fact that at this point, my wife and I have pretty open minds to the idea that Sasquatch exists and that they may live somewhere in Alaska, but we have no desire to research or look for these things. Actually, I kinda thought that while they may exist, I would be perfectly fine to never have anything to do with one. So, back to the lake shore.
My wife and our three children are walking down the shore and we make it about a half mile from the area where we parked. There were still large patches of snow and ice on the shore line that we were crossing. My wife out ahead of me a little ways stops and is looking at something. She studies it for about a minute and then calls me over and asks what this looked like to me. I walked over and took one look and without any hesitation I said,” that’s a Bigfoot track.” She looked at me and I looked at her and she had this ‘ are you being serious or messing with me?’ look on her face and I said,” that’s a Bigfoot track!” I said,” I have never seen a Bigfoot track in my life and I am telling you, that’s a Bigfoot track!” We looked around the area a bit and the tracks came from the grassy shoreline out on to this snow patch and you could follow them up to the lake which was really low this time of year exposing about thirty yards of rocky shoreline. We walked up to the grassy shore line but refrained from heading into the brush as we weren’t too sure what exactly we were dealing with here.
My wife and I were armed as we always are walking around Alaska but we didn’t know, if what ever made those tracks was in the brush so we didn’t go in. We also had a strong sensation of being watched. We did, however, observe a short ways away a strange area right on the brush line of the shore where a tree about twenty five feet tall had been bent over at about the ten foot elevation and was laying horizontal. We approached the area and there appeared to be boughs laid on the ground almost like a bed in a small clearing right behind this tree. I also noticed strange marks on the horizontal tree that I couldn’t make any sense out of. There were other strange things about this situation but I’m only sharing this so you understand what got us interested in all of this Sasquatch stuff. We were definitely intrigued and so we began doing a lot of research online and that’s when we came across your podcast. Great Podcast by the way!
After doing a significant amount of research we had learned enough to make sense out of a lot of the things that we saw and heard out at that lake. We are not people that really believe in chance and both my wife and I believe that there is a reason for everything. And so, like most things we believe there was a reason that we crossed paths with this thing at that lake.
As I said, we moved into our home in January and we were now into our second month there, that’s about the time things started to change for us. We have three children ages 14, 11, and 7. They are all really outdoorsy kids as we always are looking for outdoor adventures to take them on. Our daughter who is also our oldest loves to build forts out in the woods and she loves to learn about survival in the wilds. The home that we moved into sits on about three acres of partially wooded ground and is surrounded by thousands of wooded acres. She was so excited when the snow had melted and she could go down into the woods behind the house and start building her makeshift survival forts. She was always within fifty yards are so o the house and could be seen as these were the rules seeing how bears could frequent the area. She would take her younger brother down there and they would be breaking branches off and banging on trees and dragging branches everywhere. One day, late in March, our daughter and son came running to the house and yelled for their mom as I was at work.
They were completely out of breath and had just booked it from somewhere. Once they caught their breath enough to speak my daughter said,” something screamed at us!” My wife said,” calm down and tell me what happened?” They said,” we were working on our fort and we had gone a little further back in the woods to collect some branches we spotted back there. We were breaking some branches off and all of a sudden something really close to us let out a really loud scream!” My wife asked why they thought it was and they both said they hadn’t heard anything like it before. My wife got on the internet and started googling animal sounds and went through a slew of them to no avail. She said that she sat there thinking for a while and, even though she didn’t really want to, she thought that she should try and look up some Sasquatch recordings to see if anything matched there. When she found some that sounded like they might be legit, she called the kids into the room and without letting them know what they were listening to she played the Sasquatch scream and they both immediately said,” That’s it! That’s the sound we heard!” My wife almost couldn’t believe what she had just heard. And that was the beginning. We also have multiple pictures of tracks, partial pictures of the creatures and many nights spent listening to vocalization and chatter.
Since then, we have been chronicling a lot of the things that we have experienced around our home. Our thought process through this whole thing has gone from curiosity, excitement, caution, concern, and now flat pissed off. This is an amazing home and we don’t want to leave it. To be honest, I’ve never ran from a fight or a challenge, but I’m questioning whether or not we’ve met our match. Once we accepted that these were definitely real and that we would need to decide how to approach this, we decided that, since they hadn’t disturbed anything and hadn’t destroyed anything that maybe we could just coexist and if they left us alone, we would not try to destroy them.
About two weeks ago we had one on the roof of the house and I ran outside with a 12 gauge and scared it off. My wife heard it run and jump off of our house (two story house mind you) when I circled around the front with a spotlight on the roof. Amazingly enough I never caught sight of that one but could see another one running toward the woods about fifteen yards away on my way back to the back of the house. At the same time my wife also saw another one standing behind our metal shed from the upstairs window. After that I went and installed an alarm system in our house as this was pretty disturbing and really drove home how real this was. I put a game camera on the roof as we know they stay away from these and we haven’t noticed anymore sounds like they are on the roof.
Having a secure and well-maintained roof is crucial for ensuring the safety and peace of mind of homeowners. Incidents like unexpected animal intrusions can be alarming and emphasize the need for proper roofing services. If you find yourself facing similar concerns, it’s essential to seek the expertise of a reliable roof plumber. Roof plumber perth provides specialized services to address various roofing issues, ensuring that your roof remains in top-notch condition. Additionally, considering the installation of an alarm system can provide an extra layer of security for your home, helping you feel safe and protected from potential intruders. With professional roofing services and appropriate security measures in place, homeowners can enjoy their living spaces without unnecessary worries and focus on creating a comfortable environment for their families.
The most disturbing event took place about four days ago though and is why I am finally emailing you. We don’t feel like we have anywhere else to go and are hoping that you may have some advise. I, again was at work, (I work a two week on, two week off rotation), and it was about 9:30 in the evening. It is pretty light a that time right now and my youngest son (7) was downstairs watching a movie and playing with legos on the living room floor. My oldest son was upstairs in a different room playing and my wife was upstairs folding laundry in her bedroom watching a tv show. Suddenly, she heard my youngest son make a strange noise (she has this super mommy hearing on all the time) and then got out the words,” It’s, it’s, Sasquatch!” and then heard him running up the stairs.
At this point, she already had a 12 gauge in one hand and a .45 under the other arm headed to meet him. Just as she started that way the home alarm was set off meaning that a door or window had been opened. Our daughter was spending the night with my wife’s parents and so my wife grabbed our youngest and brought him into our room where our oldest boy had already made it to. She stood at the top of the stairs and waited a minute or two while the alarm screamed waiting to see what was going to try and come up the stairs. Nothing came.
She cleared the alarm from upstairs and began slowly clearing the house with her and my oldest son armed. When she initially asked my youngest son what happened, he said that he saw it standing at the front door which is a half light window meaning that it has a window for the top half. There is a curtain there and it just obscures it a little so that you can’t see clearly. After that night we have asked him what he saw and he says nothing. When asked if he remembers yelling Sasquatch, he says he doesn’t remember yelling anything. My wife is certain about what he said and what he yelled and we believe at this time that it traumatic enough that he is very likely repressing the memory. Can’t say I blame him. I actually flew home from work the next day as I felt I needed to be there for my family. When we experimented a little with the front door, we found that with the door locked, (which all of the doors and windows were locked that evening) with a significant amount of force put on the top of the door, it would flex enough to break the contacts for the alarm.
To put it mildly, both my wife and I are pissed, heavily armed, and capable. We can no longer stand by while these things potentially target our son. We really just want these damn things to go away or, be destroyed at this point. I have no plans to charge out into the woods and intentionally try to get myself killed, but when we see them on our property, we have every intention of playing tag with the .338. We just don’t know what else to do.
We really aren’t wanting to publicize our story. We just don’t know what else to do or who to call. Been a quiet few nights since and we hope that the alarm scared the shit out of it but we aren’t anticipating the quiet nights to continue.
Any help would be appreciated!”
Bryan H
Sounds like a good case to get answers from the, “The Big Thicket’ AKA, Bob Garret”, or Coombo and Bear, from Bigfoot outlaw radio. Sounds interesting enough, you could possibly get them to come up there. There was also a episode on this podcast I believe of the men down southeast area who had a show, Killing Bigfoot. What ever the case may be , be careful an don’t let your kids out of sight at all times. I would recommend getting ahold of one of these groups ASAP.
JOHN E
YOU CAME TO THE RIGHT GUY WESS IS GOING TO HELP YA ….I AM FROM SOLDOTNA AK ….GOOD LUCK.
Kevin K
Here in Wasilla….ready and HEAVILY ARMED and willing to help you out!!
Linda W
my advice would be more of what you have been doing.Put cameras, infra red cameras, any type all over your property especially all overvthe house perimeter.. facing every door and window. Put two or three cameras on the doors and windows. They don’t want to be caught on camera. microchip your kids. give your kids airhorns when they are outside playing. give your kids cell phones and or cameras to keep with them at all times and teach them how to use a camera. bigfoot avoids people with cameras.give them walkie talkies when they arevplaying so that you can check on them regularly. good luck!
Bryan H
I also forgot to mention, putting up Christmas lights around the eve’s of your house, such as the icicles kind that redeem a low light, is also suppose ward these creatures off. Set them up so that they get turned on by a motion dectector. That way of you have them on all sides of the house, but one catches the sensor, it’ll affect all within the perimeter of the lights
aleta d
They seem to love Christmas lights herein VA.
Karen C
Speechless! This is the most horrifying account I can amagine for this family. Buying your dream house to have to put up with this!!! Help Killing Bigfoot Boys down south, there one tough group of warriors…
Teresa V
I hope you can get in contact with this family, Wes. It would be awesome to have them on your show, but more than anything, try to get some help for them. I would definitely not let the daughter out of the house without an adult with her, especially if it’s her time of the month. Too scary!
Pat T
Wow, and u wonder why you got a good deal on that piece of property. I watch that show “Buying Alaska” and wonder why so many proprieties out in the bush are on the market? Some of the woods out there are incredibly thick and to think you’d want to go out in the out house at 2:00 in the morning puts a new meaning on the word bed pan.
Ryan M
It seems like whenever there is aggressive sasquatch not much can be done.every instance they win. Outlaws, Bob Garrett are good for identifying sasquatch. But the homeowner knows that already. From stories mostly podcast from here honobia, ape canyon, kentucky. All run in with aggressive creatures the answer was leave. You can buy time with ir game cams. I’m not sure what a proper defense is.
Bal G
I disagree BryanH, this is for hellooooooo, can’t say I blame ya, looks like your son had a Charmin moment. Okay, mmmmmmmm Bye!! Looks like this is right up V Cundiff’s alley.
Greg T
That’s a spot on quote from Vic. I like his shows but his voice alone creeps me out.
Jacqueline O
All great advice listed above! When they begin to harrass and threaten your family and home, treat these creatures as you would a human primate…lock and load, and shoot to kill! I do not promote the idea of killing an innocent animal, but in this case, they do not seem so innocent…
Or you could purchase an unlimited supply of “SQATCH GUARD”??
stephen P
I think the advice from Brian H and Karen C might help you people. I’m kind of from the outside looking in so to speak coming from the U.K, where I think we can safely say there are no Sasquatch or dogmen etc, even if some people might try to say we do. I’m just learning more and more about this subject and some of the really frightening stories,when these creatures turn bad on people. Sympathy and prayers to yourselves and your children.
Bob Garret would give good advice and might even help like Bryan said. They don’t just go around toting guns and shooting mindlessly and I think Bob is a very nice and intelligent man,after hearing him interviewed here by Wes and some others.
Wes is bound to think of something to help. One thing though, don’t shoot at them unless you absolutely have to. That seems to be a recurring piece of advice in situations like this that I have heard.
Good luck and hope you are all safe and get some help. It’s an awful situation as well when you can’t turn to the authorities for help.
Black-YETI
Email me I work for free and dont miss.
You or someone has to kill one. 338 whby or lapua will kill one for sure.
Call a few of your team members as backup.
Get them there in your vehicle during the day. No strange vehicles on the property …carry on as normal. You upstairs as it gets dark window open ready to shoot..
You must be ex military or LE os you know the drill.
Family is bait and you will get your shot.
Only thing better

Thank you Elise…LIVING WITH SASQUATCH~MUST READ!
Wes,
Since SC was created to not only entertain but help those dealing with hairy neighbors, PTSD, and criticism from the community, I suggest you cite this source or add it to the long-form content of SC homepage (if permitted). Both members and non-members need help with these quasi-intelligent, unpredictable creatures. After all, the internet is designed to “share content, share links, share ideas, and share data”…
Danial K
I’m no scientist, but perhaps the damn dirty apes mistook the kids fort as a violation of their territory. Go out heavily armed in the day time and tear it down and see if their behavior changes.
Elise B
Or if they go ballistic and break into the house.
SantiamLady
Good idea there!??
Tim G
Wes, you should to bring in Bob Garrett on with these people, he will surely have some insight and advice.
SantiamLady
Deffinitely get Mo, Bob, Vic, or Coombo advice on this one!
In the meantime, don’t jump the gun, tho…… While terrifying, they didn’t actually break in & the alarm shrieking most likely did scare them shitless! ? I’m surprised you didn’t find a screaming pile ? on the front porch! ? Anyway, they are clearly curious & a bit too close for comfort, but not truly aggressive, yet. If you get aggressive with them, they will get aggressive toward your family in return. Don’t fire the first shot, so to speak. Keep doing what you are doing for now. Show your guns. They know what they are and what they can do. But DONT shoot unless you absolutely have to! Once you shoot at them, it’s war, and you’ll have a siege of Honobi on your hands.
Put up gobs of game cameras, and flood lites. Outdoor Christmas lites also deter them, I’ve heard. Project an air of calm ownership of your house & land. Not angry ownership….CALM ownership. Be Clint Eastwood! ?
Carry a laser pointer with you in your pockets. All of you. For some reason, a simple laser pointer beam being shined at them really scares the shit out of them and sends them running. Even in the house, if you see one looking in at you, you could just whip out the laser and light ’em up out the window. ?
Have they built any structures near your house? Teepees? Big wooden Xs? If so, consider tearing them down and putting up a big wooden X of your own near your home. Perhaps a big stick X at the edge of the timber on each side of your house. They appear to use big stick Xs as a kind of ‘beware’, ‘don’t go here’, ‘danger’ sign to each other, and ones built by you might translate into ‘stay the hell away from our house’ to them.
Don’t ever toss food scraps outside! Flush leftovers down the toilet or the garbage disposal. Being in Alaska, with bears & all, I’m sure you’re already careful about that. ?
Wes always rightly says to treat them like a Grizzly cause they are that unpredictable. BUT…… If you shoot one Grizzly that is too close to your house, you wouldn’t have to worry about that Grizzly’s entire extended family retaliating against you. Grizzlies don’t care if you shoot a Grizzly…..as long as it’s not them, or their little cub. But Sasquatch? These creatures are vengeful! Shoot at one, and you are at war with who knows how many! ????? So shoot ONLY as a last resort.
Good luck, and be VERY careful.
Steve H
I agree with Patricia S. Would like to add the GREEN laser pointer as a great choice.
A bit of speculation as to why the laser pointers scare them? Perhaps they can see the beam of light, though it is invisible to us. A more likely idea is that USUALLY when they see that it is followed by a burst of pain followed by big noise, i.e. getting shot by a military weapon….. Just a thought…….
Black-YETI
If it were my property…I would download some sierra squatch mp3 and upload to my foxpro caller.
Get me a goat from someone and tie it up near your house in a well lit area. Blast them sierra sounds on that foxpro..throw in some coyote yelps and deer in distress sounds.
Some of the newer lights out cameras emit very little IR.
get the kind with the black flash.
I for one after listening to this show think its just an unknown animal. Like a bear it nothing but a really smart stomach walking on 2 legs. Like a fed bear is a dead bear..a fed squatch is a close to being dead squatch.
Steve H
Recommend heavy floodlights that light up the place like a truck stop. A really fun thing would be a motion activated aircraft landing light. Yeah – thats right, about 20 mil candle power. If they really have the wonderful low-light adapted vision I believe they have, this would essentially blind them and leave them sightless and dis-oriented for a few minutes. And very vulnerable. A couple of run-ins with the landing light and Mr. Big-n-Sneaky should realize sneaking is out.
A really dynamic way to end it would be to install 2 fences around the perimeter of the property with about 25 feet between them. The inside fence 10 foot tall and electrified with razor-coil wire along the top. The outer fence about 7 foot tall. This should lure them to jump the outer fence. Then lace the interspace with landmines. This, along with some stategically placed motion-sensor cameras will put a definate end to their encroachment AND memorialize the festivities for your scrapbook. 😉
Gene P
Wow I feel sorry you bought a dream home and the local wildlife is endangering your family.
How do you even protect children from any predators?
I would be very interested in learning the solution to your problem.
Please think twice before listening to any of these so called Bigfoot experts.
Maybe Wes could put you in touch with other families who are experiencing the same problem.
Maybe Wes could put the other families on the show, to share their solutions to that particular problem?
Doreen Dee S
Wow..that is pretty darn scary. I think I would never let my hubby go back to work…ever! They seem to more active when he isn’t around so..yep, I think they will probably get more aggressive unless someone can help them. A shame too..I pray for that family’s safety and an answer ASAP. Be safe and Wes, thanks again for being here for so many people!!
Christian L
Defend your family and property and don’t let the kids play outside alone….(missing 411)…..so if you shoot one…. what then? Go Jeremiah Johnson on em and put a head on a stake facing the tree line….don’t run away but gotta have a follow through plan…..shooting one is just the beginning. Now you have a 700-1000 pound biped to process…don’t let the PETA FREAKS FIND OUT! The local taxidermist will be pretty excited!
Janice P
I like the idea about praying. Let God work on your problem if you haven’t already asked him.
Check with other nearby families and local law enforcement before you shot at them.
The shelter your daughter was building might have a reason to be scary to them. Was it on your property?
Tony s
God helps those who help themselves.
brad b
This has to be one of the most horrifying situations possible because you’re essentially alone. It’s not like you can call the Sheriff or Fish and Game or any other authorities and tell them Bigfoot is harassing you. They may know the truth but they’re not going to help in any meaningful way. And I doubt if the experts can provide much relief either. They’ll tell you to put up lights, use green lasers, etc. If that works great, but seeing as they’re bold enough to be climbing on your roof and testing the doors I would be surprised. I don’t know if there is a good answer to this problem. The only sure answer is to get out. One man and woman, even properly armed, may not be a match for lord knows how many of these things. And if you go to war with them you have the weakness of your children. You can’t keep them locked in the house 24/7 and they would be the easiest targets for retaliation o,r as we have seen, targets to be snatched for whatever other purposes run through these creatures heads. I would try any non-aggressive measures people in the know recommend and see how things go. It would kill my soul to have to give in to these things and abandon my dream home (or any home really.) But you have your wife and children to think of. If these things have become obsessed with your family it’s too easy for them to snatch one of the kids. I wouldn’t hesitate killing one trying to get in the house. What else are you going to do? Let it come in? But as others have said they don’t always scare easy like other animals and it may just escalate things. If the lights and other non-lethal measures don’t make them keep their distance I’m not sure you can beat them, or at least beat them and live with the possible costs of doing so.
Kenneth M
Assume you are being watched. Occassionally leave or drop food or garbage somewhere with extra food goodness in it.
Then leave it poisoned – hopefuly you will poison one.
Put up solar powered electric fence around the property.
Keep kids away and boobytrap around known points of passage.
Improvise explosive shaped charges on the roof (make out of small bucets with an inverted cone shape)- when they go up there – set some charges off – sending shrapnel to them.
Also set cameras on the roof, around windows, etc.
Robert V
Hello, the thing that bothers me the most about sasquatch is,how they watch us. This is a classic case of it. Change your patterns. Just as if an enemy invader is wanted to attack. Bob

Beware of Susan Sullivan! ? She is the ultimate “flute player”.
She feeds them routinely, believes they are completely “a people”, and that they “mind-speak” with her! Also believes they have other very supernatural abilities, and are the “guardians” of Interdimentional Portals! ? Believes UFOs are involved,? that Squatches can teleport thru walls (into her home), and the “Portal” the Squatches are “protecting” is in her bedroom closet!!! ? I had to stop reading her last book when she got to the part about the Interdimentional Portal in her bedroom closet, the baby Sasquactch teleported into her room at night to warn her of a UFO over the house, and the “mama” Sasquatch gave her a long telepathic message about Squatches ? true mission as “guardians” of said “portals.” ?Specifically, the one in her bedroom closet!?
Yeah…..total woohoo! ?
Erik B
Hi Patricia! I think a friend of mine knows this Susan or has talked to her because she’s definitely gone by way of the flute player. She also claims to have an ESP way of communicating with the squatchies. Me on the other hand I tend to be a bit more of a cynical realist when it comes to that. I try to keep an open mind but when they’re your invisible roommate… ummmmmm? No can’t buy that. 8d have to see it for myself. In fact I dropped out of a group because one of it’s members saw bigfoot EVERYWHERE! In her house, in her backyard, in her garage and even in her hanging basket plants and flowers. I was like “WTF Over?!?!?”. Then I was told that yes they can be 10 inches tall… INCHES!!!!! That’s when I dropped that group. Unbelievable… Hahahahaha ?

You know, here in NH, we often have bears break into homes and raid the fridge. I wonder if they are just being besieged by bears?
SantiamLady
Living in Alaska, I’m sure this family knows what a bear looks like.

Sounds like a Garret or a Germer should go on an Alaska Vacation/investigation.
SantiamLady
Long trip for Bob. He’s not a young man. Perhaps a phone call with Bob, as he IS the Diane Fossy of Sasquatches! ??
But Wes? TOTALLY! ???. Get on a plane, Wes, ✈️?! Check out what’s going on up there. Then get Bob on the horn for his expert advice from his decades of field experience with these creatures. ? Wes can be Bob’s eyes and ears on the ground, and then Bob can help these poor folks.
What are you waiting for Wes? ? You should already be in the air! ✈️?

Shooting one is a last resort. They are almost never alone, if you shoot one, live or die, the others will be angry with you about it.
Jonathan B
I think I would tear down the kids fort.walking on the roof creeps me out.
PATRICK
Oh shit.bunch of good advice above.don’t perish over your dream home.you have children.oh shit.
Amanda M
Shooting one would lead to escalation and retaliation. The life of your kids is not worth staying there. They are known to take children, even adults, is just not worth the risk. Sell, sell, sell!
SantiamLady
The Hairy Neighbors are probably the reason the house and land were so affordable. ? Would be nice if sellers would just give full disclosure. “Ummm……one last thing…..there’s a family of 800 lbs gorilla-things that live nearby. Hope that’s not a deal-breaker.”
I’ve lived in my dream home for about 25 years now. I would fight rather than move, so I totally get this home owners desire to stay and fight if need be. I’d do the same, BUT I’d only shoot as a last resort. These things are always part of a family group. Shoot at one, and it will bring down a lot of pissed off 800 lb monsters on you.
That being said, my hubby and I own several big-bore weapons that are always close at hand. We would…….if there was no other option, and you know someone is going to die if you don’t shoot. You shoot, and hope you have enough gun & enough rounds, cuz it’s on then!?
Hubby and I live on a wooded acreage that butts up to 1000’s of acres of combo BLM & Timber Co lands. We’ve had only a couple probable Squatch incursions, drawn in by animal feeds. It always took off when we went outside. ???We’d hear it scrambling up a sheer rocky embankment on its way back to the big timber. We live on a river, and that was undoubtedly an attractant fo it too. But, it never threatened us or did any real damage. We changed our feed set up, and that was that. The visitations stopped.
Knobby
I like those who suggested putting up cameras or motion detectors. Both use the same technology for their motion detectors, which they might be detecting the motion detectors some way and that deters them. Any researcher will tell you that lights are a great deterrent, and putting up motion lights might go a long way toward keeping them away from the house at night.
They tend to be particularly curious about watching women and children, and from reading this account they seem to know when you are away and are more actively approaching the wife and children then. They all need to be armed, but if you shoot one the others might seek vengeance.
Russell K
Im in alaska id be glad to help.

Shoot to kill. Head shot or pelvic shot. Lots of vessels in the pelvis of any primate.
Greg T
Someone mentioned a pair of the super .338 calibers, but if you’re using the more traditional .338 win mag, go with 225 gr or 250 gr and inside of 200 yds is bound to let the air out of one as well as anything. This sounds like that story from NJ I think, where they took the ‘big’ one out with a borrowed .460 Remington or something because it kept watching the daughter and killed their dogs. Don’t give up your house.
Kathryn C
I also live in Alaska and although I knew Bigfoot were here, I tried to trick myself into thinking they were out in the millions of uninhabited, acres our state offers and not so near civilization. I have wondered many times while listening to encounters why some Bigfoot seem to like the interaction with people, either to watch, scare or possibly hunt them… There have been so many encounters where people have lived peacefully on their property for many years with no problems and suddenly Bigfoot is stalking them and their homes, children and animals.
I don’t know what the answer is. The thing is, history has told us many times that if you kill one, you best kill them all, or at least all the adult males because they probably won’t just go away without a fight. I’m just suggesting that if you decide to let someone on your property to help ( and I don’t blame you – I would do the same to keep my family and home safe ) just be sure that they are willing to stay until the job is done.
I hope you find the right answer. I can’t imagine the fear you and your family are going through. God Bless you
Kathryn C
This is a long shot, but I do live in Palmer/Wasilla area. If I’m nearby at all, I can certainly provide shelter at my home temporarily
