Wildlife Biologist told to stop looking into Sasquatch

John is a Wildlife Biologist hired by the US Forest Service in early 1970’s. He became involved in radio collaring Bighorn Sheep and tracking them using radio telemetry. This experience leap frogged into the study of Grizzly bears and their habitat in Yellowstone. By 1982 John had started a backwoods trail hiking and expedition company specializing in the use of pack goats.

In 1972, while camping alone in the Wind River Mountains, the young naturalist John Mionczynski, is convinced that he encountered the creature known as Sasquatch, or “Bigfoot.” Over the decades since, he’s searched for further evidence of a large primate inhabiting the forests of western North America.

In the minds of many, this placed him in that scientific netherworld populated by believers in crop circles, alien invaders and Bermuda triangles. But to cast him off as a paranormal nut would be unfair to one of Wyoming’s most interesting characters who in other spheres has made significant contributions to contemporary understanding of the Wyoming wilderness.

Mionczynski is self-taught, sometimes eccentric, above all insightful. Pat Hnilicka, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist who once worked with him on big horn sheep projects, describes him as a “top-notch” scientist.

    Not surprising, as we know this happens, especially within U.S. Government agencies but the question is still Why?? It can’t just be because people consider it a mythical creature like leprechauns and mermaids and that it cast doubts on the researcher’s credibility.

      I think it’s because the government has no control over the situation. I think their isn’t a government in the entire world that wants anything to do with these watcha-ma-call-its.

    The truth exposes the entire paradigm of evolution to be a lie and that the Biblical explanation holds the better probability of facts concerning genetic manipulation of existing species by the “Fallen Ones”. Perhaps it would prove that the great apes genes were mixed with that of mankind, thus corrupting the original creation…thus we can’t have the truth about this genetic corruption known to be true…

      The biblical explanation was written from cultures that came before the biblical scholars.. Our earliest accounts come from the Sumerians, although I imagine even earlier civilizations not yet recognized may have pre dated them. Thanks to the works of Zecharia Sitchen ( I read several of his books in the early 90s starting with the 12 Planet ) who studied the Sumerian tablets ( of which only a small sample survived ) a whole new way of looking at the past arrived. The Sumerians viewed their masters as the Annunaki who created modern humans through genetic manipulation to do the hard slave work at which the Annunaki tired of. They had many failures in this endeavor and hence maybe some of the human/animal hybrids that are depicted in ancient paintings, sculptures, and writings. Could it be that the Annunaki created the Sasquatch only to find they could not control them, but allowed them to survive? I will not say yes or no for we still do not know what transpired in the past for certain. But if true then it sure explains a lot quite nicely.

    Just some actual proof of what is going on behind the scenes that keeps more scientific and academia, and probably forest service and like personnel from coming forward with what they know outright or at least suspect. It also shows how brave Meldrum, Bindernagle, Krantz, Anna Nekaris, Nelson and Mionczynski and others are to buck the trend and follow through on their beliefs and knowledge. Also peer pressure in this endeavor can be quite humbling. It has always been that these type of people is what moves taboo subjects forward.

      (New Jersey) Very well said Charles. I too have great respect for those you mentioned. I just wish these scientists would take it one step further and state the obvious. Sasquatch has been able to avoid detection due to extraordinary abilities that we don’t fully understand.

    Gee it’s ok for the news journalist to write about what ever they want, but a wildlife biologist shouldn’t study the Sasquatch.
    Well, I hope they don’t find out Wes is studying one in his garage.

    Well said Charles R, I have always had a hard time understanding, starting when I was just a kid, how the history of different cultures spanning the world was mostly ignored or called tall tales even when they shared many common themes. Whether you call it biblical or spoken history, when things continue to be similar and consistent in certain aspects, why is it not considered? Like so many times I’ve heard people say the native peoples Stories are changed over time or just made up, I don’t know much but I do know that many early people took the sharing of this info very seriously and not done by anyone except those chosen to do so because they wanted it to not change and why not shared with outsiders because they screwed it up or distorted it.
