I woke up at 2am and couldn't sleep I had the window open next to me and listening outside up on the ridge I heard something banging rocks together "clicking" them ever hear them do that??? BigBill

Hi Bigbill
Yes I have heard them bang rocks together, they also will knock on trees, rap on rocks and will snap large limbs. I think it could be a way of either getting a response or signaling another creature. I believe these creatures are somewhat social within their species and when the young males seek out new territory they also seek interaction and similar to many adolescents, become bold. The screams that are reported are probably calls to get the attention of another for either mating or to re-congreagate. Now the screaming is not like a panther, but more of a holler, like in the movie Predator when Arnold did the holler on the tree, if you seen the movie, you will know what I`m talking about. If you haven`t, go rent it and the holler is exactly the sound.

I had one screaming at me while it came crashing through the brush towards me while snapping large limbs. I never got a look at it because I was too busy running for my life, but I am convinced it was a bigfoot. Years after the encounter I talked to a bigfoot tracker at an outdoor show, and he had the same scream on tape! Made the hair on my neck stand up straight and still does to think about it some 18 years later. He told me not to fear them as they are peaceful, I am not entirely convinced of that. The one I encountered sounded VERY angry. Anyone I tell this story to laughs at me and calls me a liar. I KNOW WHAT I HEARD THAT EVENING.

lakota - geez man, that sure didn't sound peaceful to me. I seriously doubt the peaceful intentions of anyone (or thing) that is creaming at you, while crashing through the brush and snapping limbs. Maybe the tracker (?, hmmmm) was a bit off. think? Mayhaps he thought it may have been a lonely LadyFoot er sumptin?

Maybe the 'foot' thought you were a buddy er ,sumptin else, and wanted to socialize? But, then from BigBill we hear they break limbs, knock on trees or bang rocks together - not the sort of folk ya'll wanna meet in a darkened alley, methinks (or when you are all alone in the woods).

And then too, what's a guy (a Bigfoot) gonna do when he gets there and finds out you're not from his 'hood'. Is he gonna put his arm around your shoulders and show you pictures of the family - I don't think so. I dunno man, but if there was sumptin crashing through the woods in my direction, and screamin' and snappin' treelimbs in the process, he would have to be a heck of a lot faster than I am to catch up to me.

But, this Mikey here has been known to climb big trees verrrry, verrrrry quickly when the need arises, and should onna dem 'feets' decide to come up after me, well, then it's self defense, unless he's packin' onna BigBills samwichs and then the beer is on me. LOL. Mikey.

Hi Lakota

I know the feeling, I had one to scream about 20 yards left of me, last year, while I was up in a tree stand, during deer season. I had my night vision generation three, with me and I got to see him. Then I ran like hell.
In a sence the bigfoot hunter was right, in that, I too believe they are peacful and very inquisitive. :eek: Your not alone when people doubt you. Its hard for other people to believe they exist until they see one with their own eyes.
There is a group of us hunters that auctually hunt them, to prove their existence, but up until now, we have only a few photos of them would not be conclusive in a court of law. This Friday, the Dec 12, 2003 their will be 5 of us hunting at night with cameras and guns (for our own protection), to try again. They have not tried to harm us, rather run around and scream to scare us away. That hasnt happened when there is a buddy system, and maybe we will luck out and get the pictures we need. We have had encounters with them thus far, and have observed them walking upright like a human and also walking on all fours like a gorilla. We have had success at bait staiones and gathered scat samples and send it to the zoo, it came back as scat from the gorilla family.
So Lakota, you are not alone.

Didja hear (read, par'n me) what Bulletmaker said about using the buddy system to hunt (for evidence of existence) the Bigfoot????? Well, if the buddy system works for him and his buds, you, me, a couple of the other guys and my seester should think about this and formulate a plan. Just don't tell my seester we're gonna use her as bait or she WILL get ummm, upset...... Maybe, just maybe, if you cook her up a couple of your famous samwiches and let her eat one but put the other in her pocket for ummmm, later, it might just draw onna dem 'feets' right in.

But, we will need a tranquilizer gun wif a buncha darts, 'cause my seester don't believe in the 'catch and release' program. Mikey.

bullet maker- what do you use for bait? The tracker I talked to said he believes them to be complete herbivores, vegetarians so to speak. I would think that for a large creature like that to be able to survive a midwest winter it would need to be an omnivore much along the lines of a bear, eating whatever they get a chance to.

Most of the people who laugh at my encounter are yuppie suburbanites who consider a trip to the back country a walk down the paved trail at the local metro park. They will never see any of nature's great wonders there.

It was not until I started using the internet a few years ago that I discovered that many people have had encounters. It is good to see that there are people who know this creature exists.

Keep us posted on your expedition on friday.

Hello Lakota
Your question about what we use for bait. We use whatever the wife throw`s out. Rather words, left overs that nobody else will eat. When we clean out the refrigerator, I put all the garbage, in a trash bag, and haul it down to the bottoms and sometimes we tie it in a tree, to keep the opposums out of it, and sometimes we put it on the ground and set a camera up on it. We find road kill`s, another way we get fresh kill, is my neighbor it a taxidermist, so everytime he skins out an animal, he saves it for me, and I use it for bait. So in essence, vegatables and meat. They will eat anything. I caught a 8 lb grass carp, and hooked him on a bungy cord, then put the other end of the bunch cord around a small , no. 2 pencil size dead branch. This was hanging about 6 ft off the ground. The next morning the fish was gone. The bungy cord, was still hanging on the branch, and I got a wonderful foot cast about 16inches long of the creature. Now that proved to me, that the creature had great cordination, to be able to lift the 8lb carp of the hook and leave the bungy cord there. You would have thought he would have ripped it off the tree and the bungy cord laying somewhere on the ground in the vacinity.
Don`t pay any attention what people think about your encounter, they don`t know, because they don`t go outdoors. I had a hunter that bought a deer lease off of me about 4 years ago, and he scoffed at the Idea of Bigfoot also, I`ll tell the whole story sometime for ya. Anyhow to make a long story short, He seen it and it scared the you know what out of him, and he would not come back again. He even left one of his tree stands. To afraid to go in the woods and recover it.
If you go to GCBRO and BFRO, that is two bigfoot web sites that has a lot of auctual sightings from hunters across north america, and you can see if their are any story`s from Ohio, or what ever state you or anybody else lives in.
Yes I will post our hunting expedition results after the hunt Friday night. If there is enough interest, I hate to bore everybody.

I have to tell you guys that I've always been fascinated by bigfoot stories, when I was younger I read and watched all I could on the subject.From what I gather no one in the scientific community will believe this creature exists until they have a live or dead specimen to examine. So for those who have had encounters with one, would you kill one or try to capture one? If not, why?

Never try to hurt one a guy in Russia did and it came back and killed all of them. I would just like to see one, I have a funny feeling this is what I'm hearing up north too. I have seen mountain lion tracks for over 25 years where there was suppose to be no mountain lions at all. I finally got to see one with my wife and son too. Funny I post on a mountain lion reporting sight and some get mad at me for what I'm seeing because they never see one?? This big cat was 150 to 200lbs and thats no mistaken for what it was. Now my point is they piss me off so bad I would like to kill one and drop it on their front porch just to prove they are there but I won't. I have pictures of tracks in the fresh snow of them. These big cats are very elusive just like big foot its smarter than we are and we could be that good if we lived in the wilds too all the time and used our senses to the fullest too. While some are very fortunate to get a glimse of one some never see anything that doesn't mean they aren't there. I won't hurt something to prove its exsistance. Back in the 70's our goverment did research on this but we never heard about the results I'm sure they know they are there and possibly think things are better left alone that we don't understand at that time? Our local DEP knows the mountain lions are there but won't admit it so no one bothers them think about it? The Russians are trying right now to make friends with two colonies of them thats the way to do it I think anyway. There are lots of theories about them why they just disappear the russians think they have something to do with the earths magnetic grid and they go into another dimemtion who knows maybe time will tell but it is very interesting to us? There are quite a few stories on the net about russian encounters with bigfoot too. I think the russians are more interested in it than we are.

BigBill brings up an excellent point-Just because you havent seen something doesnt mean its not there. How many people get to see mountain lions or wolves or things like these in the wild? Very few people. Now with bigfoot, we are talking about something with primate like intelligence, maybe even human like intelligence. I believe the only way to get to see one is if it wants to be seen.

Gee, Bullet Maker; I was just rolling through this thread when I saw your post and the memory kicked in. On the History Channel they had a program on Bigfoot type creatures and a biologist said that the Bigfoot descriptions were alot like the extinct (?) giant ape Gigantopithicus. The name means "giant ape man."

They were eight to nine feet tall, and could walk either on two feet or four. They ate-well, anything they wanted. They believe that they went extinct only a few thousand years ago.

Hmmmmm.....

Off the top of your head ,where can I go on the net to read about the russian encounters?
On the russian topic, I recall of a story coming from siberia of a species of giant bear that was thought to be extinct,that was shot about 15-20 years ago. Have you ever heard of this?

The Friday night hunt was a bust. It rained and snowed all night. Cold winds at 25 to 30 M.P.H. One bigfoot roar about quarter mile away. No sightings. We lasted 3 hours in the dark, then froze out.

Has oklahoma always been a hot bed for bigfoot activity in the united states? I always seem to associate bigfoot with the pacific northwest and mid-west to southern states that border the mississippi river.
It must be one heck of a scary feeling to actually hear a bigfoot roar and not be 100% sure where it is :shock:

Bulletmaker,

I don't understand why you don't have several of those motion sensor game cameras set up in some of those areas you have been seeing/hearing them. The newer ones do take some pretty impressive pictures. They even have a flash for at night.

Hello DirtyHarry

There has been Bigfoot stories way before all the stories coming from the Pacific Northwest. You have quit a few in your home state of Ohio. go to http://gcbro.com/ohdb1.htm You may have to use google for a search engine. I have msn for a search engine and it won`t go there but google will. Or just put gcbro in your search engine and then follow the links to reports of all the states. You have 12 counties that have Bigfoot stories of the 85 counties in your state.
Yes it is a scary feeling when you hear them roar, and don`t know where there at. :eek: It`s even scaryier when you see them :eek: but thus far, they seem to be timid and haven`t try to harm any of us as of yet. :shock: Course we are armed to the teeth, to prevent that from happening.

Hi rifleman

We have 5 of the moultree game camera`s around the property, and have about 3 pictures thus far of unexplained parts of the animal, ex. right leg and foot as he went beside the camera. It`s almost like he saw some beam and walked beside it, instead of infront of the camera. We have footcast, and a few recording`s of his hollering. All of the camera`s only have a 30ft range of decteting movement, so we use bait, to get him in closer. It`s alway`s at night when we get any pictures at all, and then the flash just doesn`t go far enough. The newer camera`s that offer infared detection, (that are priced within our means) only work at about 20 ft. There in a new camera that has just now come on the market call ( The Huntcam. you can go to http://www.thehuntcam.com/products.htm to check it out. I called the number and talked to the ceo. A very nice young gentlemen, that his software buisness went out of buisness and he had to lay off his 6 employee`s and he started up this new company, and he thinks all of his former employee`s will be called back to work. I think he has a winner on this one. Me and a couple of my Bigfoot hunting buddies are going to give him a try. The price is 289.00.

P.S. it is cheap enough, and it would be a wonderful way of filming your deer hunt.

I got to see the OLN show Strange Encounters or whatever it is called the other night. What a Joke! There was so much drama it was comical. Wont be staying up to catch that on again.

Did anyone see the show the Travel Channel did on Oklahoma? Elders from the Osage tribe I think spoke of the tribe's legends of bigfoot and took the camera men into the woods to where they say he lives. They got a fuzzy long range film of a dark biped walking. Too fuzzy to tell if it was real or not but the elders were very interesting.

Hi DirtyHarry

No, I haven`t. The flu got all of my hunting bud`s and they are just now getting over the Flu. I was the only one that got the Flu shot early, and didn`t get the bug. Next time, maybe they well listen to me.LOL
Were talking about another hunt in about two weeks, but in the meantime, I`ve got 5 of them game camera`s still working down in the bottoms, 24-7. The only trouble with them game camer`s, is they go through the batteries fast. It`s the double A batteries that wind the film. It`s a needle in the haystack, but all it` takes is one picture of the bigfoot. So far, we got a lot of pictures of deer, turkey`s, coyotes, etc.
I`ll keep everyone posted.

Just a thought.
