Someone should seriously look into that. Theres probably a free grant that would pay for it. I mean theres grants and whatnot for nearly everything else ???
is a sasquatch a preditor?

I agree copletely. The issue is wading through the yahoos discussed earlier then overcoming the BS pile theyve laid on the whole thing.

Page 4. The website O.T posted. The "Sierra growl" sound bite. Is what my Brother simulated for me. As to the noise that creature in Viet Nam made.
My one Brother that was in Viet Nam. I remarked about above. He was scared during most of his tour. He went on 18 missions & was in, if I recall correctly 12 firefights.
The creature he told me about. Scared him more than the enemy. Although he said his squad couldn't see it in the darkness.
They all could hear it making a roaring noise & chattering. As it circled their camp site. Busting though brush & snapping limbs off of trees to throw at them. They also had an idea of how tall it was. As it made these vocal noises at them. While it was on the move.
They didn't shoot at it. As they didn't want to give away their position.

I called my Brother last night. Et asked him again, what happened over there many yrs ago. Apparently, I got some of his story wrong. Figures.
The other Recon squad that was attacked. He heard the attack & gunfire over the base camp radio. As they called for help. Bro's squad was back at base camp at the time. He said, the squad that was attacked was a couple miles away from the main base camp. Up in the mountain jungle.
The Veteran that was bitten. Was grabbed by the arm, Et lifted up into the air. After the creature charged them in the darkness. Et that guy was bitten on the hand/fingers by the large creature. The guy's in that squad opened up on the creature, in the darkness. As that creature was right in among them. The Vet was hit in the legs by gunfire. Then the creature dropped him & took off.
The following days, are when the creature[same mountain area]. Followed my Bro's Recon squad. Bro said, that beast followed them for 4 days & 3 nights. They could hear it, but never seen it. The last night was when it was circling around them, roaring, chattering & snapping large sapplings. He said it's roars were loud & deep, high up off the ground.
Bro told me. While the creature was following them. All the birds in the jungle [in the area] went quiet. He said, even talking about it to this day. Makes the hair stand on his arms. He still remembered the fear.

I can't stand it anymore.
It's "predator". It's right there at the top of the page.
Over and out.

How come a hunter hasn't shot one?
Anyone who actually carries a high caliber rifle while looking for a bigfoot gradually realizes how unlawful it is to merely carry a rifle in most forests during most seasons of the year. Even patrolling backcountry roads with a rifle in a vehicle can lead to some stiff fines and/or jail time.

Sasquatch sorta kinda helped me get into hunting. Not sure how old I was but when I saw the son in Harry and the Hendersons shoot a rabbit I knew I needed to be doing that. I think after the movie I also wanted a pet Sasquatch.

Wow, Kirby that is a good story. Not many have had one that close and ect. My son in law's father saw one in a cornfield in s MN. I hope to see one, probably would scared the crap out of me! Hearing the voice of one in the dark sure would make a person scared of the woods and dark.

I saw a show on the military channel,two chopper pilots saw a huge ape like, man like creature on top of a mountian climbing a tree, they said it calmly looked at them and kept shaking the tree trying get some fruit. This was during the war on the Laotion border below the DMZ line maybe west of Khe Sanh,I believe.
Kirby, were abouts was your brothers encounter?

Twice I have encountered a smell that is like nothing else in the woods...once in the cascades in Washington state by nooksack falls and the other on the mogollon rim in Arizona...same smell two different places...heard howling on the rim also and scarred my wife pretty good. I have spent very much of my life in the bush...grew up in the congo and lived in the jungle of PNG, I have never seen one or credible prints, but after the howling started when I was camping up on the rim I picked up a thick stick and beat it on a tree three times...about 10 seconds later it knocked back twice. Could have been a human messing with me in the middle of the night, but I don't think so...it is intelligent, not like a bear or deer, but like us. If and when I do encounter the "smell" I probably will not shoot. If they wnated me dead they already had two chances because I was close enough to smell them.

And then what? Did you just go "Oh well, a bigfoot. Let's go to bed..." Did all the noise just stop then?
What did you do when you smelled the smell? Did you stop and try to find the source? Keep going? Run?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Your comment brings up an interesting question... How do you determine what conditions would be "Safe" or "Unsafe" (needing self protection)??
I've been in positions of taking down armed, wanted felons and through training and experience felt pretty much when I was in serious danger or not and could act accordingly...I'm still alive and kicking (just not as high, anymore
)..
Your position that this animal(?) is intelligent, as we are, raises the point that the potential for danger is, for all intents, existing since, historically, there have been numerous hikers and campers in remote areas that have disappeared with no trace, just as the remains of a Sasquatch have never been located....
While there have been reports of hunters and others coming face-to-face and after a 'stare down' each left the area, how can it be assumed that, if they exist, they are not dangerous?? There is really no behavior guidelines available on which to base a reaction...Especially if two or more were confronted at the same time, or a single one had the chance to ambush the hiker/camper/hunter..
