Wes, I enjoyed listening to your Podcasts. Keep up the great work. I would like your opinion, I live on the edge of a beautiful lake with property the backs up to the Bankhead National Forest.
I have a habituation site. I have lived here about six years. I have spent the last three years Installing outdoor lighting, security cameras to discourage house slapping, rock throwing, window peeking, howls, whoops, growls and roars. Outdoor lighting and security cameras have been the best deterrent.
I’ve seen creatures on a few separate occasions in the last five years. They are extremely fast. I’ve had many more encounters that I am suspicious of being Sasquatchy. I have personally been within 15 feet of the deepest iridescent blue Eye shine I’ve ever seen in an empty lot right next to my house.
My girlfriend had the best or worst encounter, depending on how you look at it, July 4 last year. Scared the s#@t out of her. She spotted a juvenile while jogging in our complex. She was in a major panic attack by the time I got to her. That’s a whole another story and possibly a topic of discussion on your podcast.
I have the most activity starting in February as through mid July and Aug. September through January they seem to go dormant or possibly migrate out of the area.
I have learned to stay out of the woods and keep to myself. I certainly don’t go out anymore at night during the summers. I’ve learned that hiking, four wheeling, biking, kayaking, night fishing, all drums up activity with these creatures. I feel they’re mostly curious, foraging for food and rummaging through trash. However, at times, I have been extremely nervous.
Despite all the activity and my efforts to discourage inter-action at my house.
I am still curious and intrigued with these creatures. I believe that’s why I listen to your Podcasts. It’s great to hear of other people’s personal encounters. Some of them a very interesting with new information. I’m not sure what these creatures really are. I think there’s more to them than a common wood Ape or hominid.
Therefore, I’m seriously thinking about purchasing a large drone with a Flir camera.
I’m not interested in marching back through the woods seeking these creatures but I am interested in flying a drone through when I know they’re in the area.
Any advice would be helpful.
