All right, Bigfoot Society. You've got the privilege of talking to Lyle today. Lyle's an individual that reached out to me after hearing one of my Malala area episodes from Oregon. And he said, I've got some things to share about the Malala Colton Estacata area. And so I've been waiting to talk to Lyle for quite a while. But no rhyming intended, I guess. But Lyle, welcome to the show.
Starting point is 00:02:52 How's it going, man? All right. Great. How are you? Having a good day. We're kind of going through. some snow, but I think you guys are out there too, at least a little further south and though we'll lamb it.
Starting point is 00:03:07 Yeah, no, we just recently had a snowstorm where it's still on the ground as we speak. Same here. Wow, I think from what you were saying, we got a lot to talk about today. So I'm going to go ahead and hand things right over to you. Feel free to take us back as far as we need to go to when this experience. started happening for you. And yeah, you're welcome to go right ahead. All right, thank you.
Starting point is 00:03:38 So I'm going to start out with back when the first encounter happened and kind of leading up to that. I was raised, grown up in Central Oregon, Tom Lowe, to be exact, went to Redmond High School. I had a handful of buddies that we did nothing but hunt and fish. growing up that's all I ever did was hunting fish and we always like to go in these spots that was super hard to get to we discovered early on in our little hunting career
Starting point is 00:04:14 that the farther away you got from people that's where the bigger animals like to hang out bucks, bulls, when I say buck, deer and elk this was over we had we'd been hunting deer for I don't know probably
Starting point is 00:04:35 five years four or five years together and we discovered an area this back this is back in I'd say the late 80s I was like 16 years old and we discovered an area on the maps we didn't have
Starting point is 00:04:54 digital this on-ex stuff and GPSes and all that of course we were young we couldn't afford a lot of that fancier stuff anyways we discovered a spot on the map it was just south of sisters and it was the Three Creeks
Starting point is 00:05:12 Wilderness area there's a Three Creeks campground and I think it's that three creeks reservoir or lake there was one road that back then there was one road that, and it was the only road that went out into the middle of this wilderness area.
Starting point is 00:05:31 It went about two miles out in, which I say the middle. It was still, there was still a lot of wilderness out beyond that. So we decided we were going to go up and scout it just before hunting seasons. So we, it was me and two other buddies. I did not talk to them before this, so I'm going to try not to say their names, because I don't know if they'd want me to talk to talk about them on this. But we went up and we were, we decided we were going to scout this area, see if it was someplace we'd want to want to hunt.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Well, this road went out into this wilderness area, like I was saying. And at the very end of it, it dead ended. And then it was more or less like a cul-de-sac. I guess that's probably the best way to, explain it. It was just a big round area where the road ended and it was cleared out. It was flat. And this place was super thick with the jack pines. It was jack pine thicket all the way around this area. So we got out and just to make things a little simple, I'm going to just say, the three of us, we decided we're going to split up.
Starting point is 00:06:54 And I told one of my buddies, said, well, you go directly north from here and scout. My other buddy, I said, you go south, and I'm going to go straight east. So west would have been the exit out of there. So we all split up. And I had walked maybe only 100, 150 yards into this, Jack Pine Thicket and I heard the distinct sound of a deer bounding. And I was stopped for a minute and I was listening and it sounded like it was getting
Starting point is 00:07:30 closer and closer to me. So I kind of hurried up and got into a spot where I could see because it was so thick. And here come this dough running right at me. Her tongue was hanging out. You could tell she'd been running, something had been running her. and basically almost ran me over. She could care less that I was even there. I was like thinking in my head,
Starting point is 00:07:55 I was like, oh, that's crazy. Well, that's a good sign. We're seeing deer. And so I kind of, I think I walked maybe another 100, maybe even 150 yards. And I started hearing this talking. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:08:15 what the heck? How did those two thinking my two buddies was out in front of me talking? And which made sense to me that it was them because, okay, they spooked the deer. And that's what had that deer coming towards me. Well, as I got a little bit closer, I could tell that they were talking pretty loud, but I couldn't understand what they were saying. And I was like, then ding-dongs, what the heck are they doing? They're scaring everything away.
Starting point is 00:08:44 we're out here to scout deer, not scare them, way. And so I continued walking closer and closer to them. And as I got closer, I could tell, I was like, this is not a normal talk. It sounded like Chinese, like a foreign language. And there was two distinct, smaller sounding, like almost sounded like kids talking. And then there was occasionally this, this deeper voice. And I was trying, I was just baffled like, what in the heck? I thought for sure still it was my friends, because I knew that there was only one road in there.
Starting point is 00:09:32 We were several miles in. And there was no other way for anybody to get in there other than hiking from, you know, miles and miles and miles away. So as I got closer, I whistled. And just to get their attention, well, they whistle back. And then it went silent. And I was only at this time, about only about 50, 75 yards away, but it was so thick I couldn't see. So I decided I was going to go over there and see who it was. If it was somebody, you know, another hiker or something like that, then I would ask them how the heck they got all the way in there.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Well, as I proceeded closer to them, I got to where I thought they should have been, and there was nobody there. So I whistled again, and they whistled back. But this time, they were, like, down to basically be to the south of me. And then they started talking again. And I was like, that's weird. I know they were standing right here. They had to have been. So I turned and I start walking back down towards them.
Starting point is 00:10:40 I get to where I think they should be and they're not there. And so I whistle again. No response. So I was like, okay, those two yardbirds are messing with me. They're screwing with me. And I continued on scouting throughout the morning. And we finally got,
Starting point is 00:11:05 I finally got back to the truck and met up with those two. And I was like, yeah, I'm very funny. You ding don't you guys were. screwing, and they were looking at me like, what are you talking about? And I was like, wasn't that you guys, it was being idiots back in there? They're like, no, you don't know nothing about it. So it kind of blew that off. And I was like, well, it had to have been somebody talking, you know, some other hikers or something like that. So we went out. So this was, that was probably two weeks before season opened.
Starting point is 00:11:46 So that would have been in late September, I'm guessing. I can't remember what the dates, the deer season opened back then. So deer season rolls around. We decided we're going to hunt that. So we show up, we drive down that same road.
Starting point is 00:12:05 We're the only rig down there. We do the same exact plan, except back in this wilderness area, there's a big, I'd say probably two, three miles back in there, there was a big rock bluff. And it was noticeable. You can see it from, oh, if you were on your way in, you can look way out and see it, but you can see it on the map.
Starting point is 00:12:29 We decided we're going to hunt the morning, separate, split up, do the same thing we did, and we're going to meet out that rock, at that rock cliff, you know, late morning. and then we'll figure out if we want to go any farther. So I take my same path I did two weeks prior to that. And I get probably half a mile in there. And I jumped a giant buck. This thing was huge. And it stopped perfect for me.
Starting point is 00:13:04 And I ended up shooting it. It was actually the biggest buck to this date I've ever shot. So I walk up to it. I'm just pumped. Does it all get out? Booting and hollering, making all kinds of noise. And so I start gutting it. I get it all gutted up.
Starting point is 00:13:27 And I think, okay, well, they heard my shot. My two buddies heard my shot. They should be, I would have thought they would have already been there by the time I got it gutted. And I got it all done. and I was like, well, they hadn't showed up. So I was like, well, they might not have heard me. They might be, or they might be chasing deer as well. So I told myself, I was like, I'm going to walk to that rock and I'll meet them there.
Starting point is 00:13:55 And then they can help me pack it out. So I start walking. I get the deer all gutted, cleaned out. I rolled it over towards belly was down, so the blood ran out. And I start walking. towards that rock and I get probably three, four hundred yards away from my deer towards that rock. And I hear somebody talking back to where my deer was. And I was like, oh, sweet.
Starting point is 00:14:24 My two buddies, they're talking. They're there. They're there at the deer. They found it. So I turn around and I start hauling butt back to my deer. I'm all pumped. excited to you know share what I got
Starting point is 00:14:37 with those guys well I get back down to where my deer was or was and my deer was gone and even the guts were gone the only thing that was left was just the blood
Starting point is 00:14:53 that had drained out of the cavity at that point I was ticked and that talking sounded exactly like what I'd heard two weeks prior to that. So I was starting to look around like, somebody freaking stole my deer.
Starting point is 00:15:11 So I started looking around and I find these footprints, but it was only one single footprint. And I don't know if you've ever been in the high desert over there. The ground over there is kind of like, oh, it's almost like a baby powder. You step in it, you sink about ankle deep, pick your foot up, you can't, it just kind of folds back in on itself. So I just assumed that somebody had taken my deer.
Starting point is 00:15:40 So I start tracking it and I cannot catch up with this thing. And I'm actually, it is pretty clear. The footprints were pretty clear. And it was going deeper into the wilderness area, not towards the road. So I tracked it for a while. And then I was starting to think, I was like, man, I don't know, this might be pretty strong. stupid me doing this by myself but I mean it was the biggest buck in my life at the time and
Starting point is 00:16:09 I was going to shoot whoever was taken who took this gear so I tracked it for a while and I finally said you know what I'm going to meet my buddies at the rock we're going to try to track this guy down and we're going to we're going to get him so I met my buddies at the rock told them what had happened and they were like yeah we heard you shoot but we didn't know exactly where it was it was just one shot. So we go back down to where it was, and we start from the beginning. They seen the blood, they knew, and I showed them the track. We start tracking it, and we tracked this thing for probably a mile, mile and half.
Starting point is 00:16:55 And then all of a sudden, there was nothing. Well, at the time, what didn't dawn on me was it was just a trap. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a Reese's. This buck was huge.
Starting point is 00:19:08 I mean, this thing, it would have taken all three of us. We would have to cut it up and pack it out of there. There was no dragging it. I mean, this thing was body-wise, it was huge. But it didn't dawn on me at the time that there was just footprints, no drag marks. So we were, I was kicked off at the world. There was nothing I could do. We tracked as far as we could, and then we lost the tracks.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Couldn't figure out what direction it went. But it did go farther out into the wilderness area. So we ended up giving up on it and we went back and we hunted the rest of that season there. Never did see anything else. Never got any shots at anything. So deer season ends. This would have been probably late October. This was after elk season.
Starting point is 00:20:11 So probably late October, early November. We decide we're going to go on a grouse hunt. So we loaded up our shotguns, and this time there was four of us, four, me and three other buddies. We decided we're going to go to that same area and camp there. There was a lot of grouse down that road, that one road that went two miles back into that wilderness area. So we decided we were going to camp there and grouse hunt in that same area. So we loaded up all of our camping gear.
Starting point is 00:20:50 We go up there. We set camp up. And this was on a Friday, I believe. So we set camp up. And we get everything all set up. And it was towards the evening when by the time we got there, we get a big old bomb fire going in the middle of that cul-de-sac area at the end of that road. and we're sitting there just BS and having a good time just enjoying enjoying being out there
Starting point is 00:21:21 and it got to be dark and around 10 o'clock I believe we all decided we were going to go to bed and we set up two tents each tent was like a little two-man two-man tent And so there was two of us in one and two of us in the other. So we go to bed and we're laying there and I'm about ready to go to sleep. And all of a sudden we hear this big like log snap right behind the tents. And at that point I'm thinking, oh, it's an elk or deer. Well, next thing I know, a bigger log snap. snapped and it was getting closer to the tent and so i i nudged my buddy next to me and it's like
Starting point is 00:22:17 you hear that and he was like yeah i hear that i go you think it's an elk or something because it's it sounded big he's like i don't know it sounds pretty being big to me i don't know what the heck that is and uh it starts getting closer and closer and these footfalls were i mean you could tell it was giant. This thing was, you could almost feel it in the ground. The course over there back in that volcanic area, it's kind of weird that the acoustics are different.
Starting point is 00:22:51 You can hear footfall from a ways away. You know, when the deer run and you can hear them really well. Well, this thing keeps getting closer and closer. And as it's getting closer, we could tell that it was bipedal. It wasn't a deer. It wasn't an elk. And I yelled at my buddies in the tent next to us.
Starting point is 00:23:18 I go, hey, do you hear that? They're like, yeah, what is that? And we're like, I don't know. But it is freaking huge, whatever it is. And it gets to where I'm guessing it's probably, 50 yards behind the tents. And we start playing the card where, hey, we got guns. We're going to shoot you if you keep coming, you know, making all kinds of noise.
Starting point is 00:23:48 And it just proceeded to take each step, it would take it, you know, it would get closer and closer and closer. And all of our shotguns, all of our weapons are in the vehicles. We didn't have anything in the tents as far as weapons go. so we're all freaking out because whatever this is is not backing away with our human voice is yelling at it and telling them that we have guns and all we're in is these little two-man tents that you know anything could easily get through so we all are sitting there talking trying to figure out what the hell we were going to do and who is going to be the first one out of the tent to get to the rig to get a gun. So it gets to be where we're thinking it's got to be only like 10 feet behind the tent.
Starting point is 00:24:47 And I finally, I couldn't take it. I was freaking out. I was scared to death because it sounded a dinosaur coming at us. So we unzipped the tent and I go run and then we, as I go, as I go, running out the tent, I noticed that my other two buddies in the other tent, they're running to their rigs. And we get to the rigs and we open the door, we grab the shotguns out. And we're sitting there turning and looking in the direction behind the tents. And the fire is still going.
Starting point is 00:25:23 So I don't know if you've ever seen where, when you've got a fire going in a really thick spot, it lights up everything. You can just see the surface part of the trees. It does, the light doesn't really penetrate back into the trees, hardly at all. So, we're sitting there yelling at it saying, we're going to shoot you. We're going to, we're going to shoot you. We got guns. We got lots of ammo trying to scare whatever this thing is. And I don't know if you've ever, well, I'm sure you have watched Jurassic Park where that
Starting point is 00:25:56 Tyrannosaurus wrecks when all the guys are like looking at the trees and that thing's like, you know, just cramped. every step is louder and louder and the trees are moving. Well, that's what it sounded like. I just kept getting closer and closer. It's like, man, that thing should be like, whatever it is, should be coming out of those trees at any second. And finally,
Starting point is 00:26:19 we had had enough. And I think I was the first one. But I just started pumping shotgun shells into the, I mean, shooting the, shooting the gun. into the trees at that noise. And it was like a split second later,
Starting point is 00:26:41 all three other buddies started shooting. And we were just like basically logging these jack pines that were all around us in the direction that Saturn was. Well, we stopped and we said, we're not fooling around. We're going to keep shooting. And it still continued to walk. and stayed just out of the light in those trees.
Starting point is 00:27:06 And it was walking all the way around this circular cul-de-sac area around us. We were standing by the fire by our trucks. And I bet you, I don't, to this day, I don't know how many shotgun shells we went through, but I know that there was like, we had empty boxes of shotgun shells all over the place. out there. We were just unloading. And this thing just continued to harass us. It stayed just inside the trees all the way around. So we're like, this is not human. This is not an animal. If it was an
Starting point is 00:27:47 animal, it would have ran. If it would have been a human, it would have came out and said, whoa, whoa, whoa, it's just me. We're playing a prank on you. And so we, we decide, let's get out of here. So we turned on the rigs. And I thought, told one of my buddies that was driving, I said, swing your truck around and shine your headlights, see if we can look out into the trees a little bit and see if we can see what this is. And so he was just kind of slowly going in reverse in a circle, shining his headlights around this round, this circular area. We didn't see anything at all. Well, just as we were coming around in full circle
Starting point is 00:28:31 and starting to head out the direction the way we had to get out of there. It was both of us at the same time, both rigs. We swung around and the headlights were kind of pointing down the road heading out of there.
Starting point is 00:28:47 And there it was standing there to the left side next to a tree. And all I remember was at that point it was just like panic mode because whatever what we were looking at was not real i mean it's not supposed to be real we hadn't i mean it was just insane just to sit there and be staring at it directly in the face and it's only it was only like 25 30 yards from us and we had to drive by it
Starting point is 00:29:20 to get out of there and we both both my buddies gassed it and we were we went flying out of that road. And as we were going by, I was looking at it in the eyes as we went by. And I still can't get that out of my head just looking at it. And anyways, we go out of that road and we hit the pavement and we decided we kind of stopped and we're like, do you think we're far enough away from this thing? Do you think it followed us? What do we do? And we'd left everything. We left our tents, our coolers full of food, our chairs, I mean, everything, our sleeping bags. And so that Three Creek's campground was not too far up the road, up the pavement from there. So we decide, let's get to the campground.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Hopefully there's somebody camping there, a camp post or something. So we go flying up to the campground and we get to the gate. well, there's a gate, and it was closed for the season. So we decide we're just going to sleep right there in the rigs, and we'll figure out what to do in the morning. Well, needless to say, we did not sleep at all. None of us slept. We sat there and talked about, which is kind of weird,
Starting point is 00:30:46 because when you listen to these podcasts, you hear about all these people that have this happen, and they say they never talk about it, you know, or anything. talked about it non-stop. So we sat there all night. Finally, daylight comes and we decide we're going to go in there fully loaded and get all of our stuff and get the heck out of there. So we drive in there.
Starting point is 00:31:15 We get back back to where the camp was. And one of the tents, our tent was collapsed. Like it was down. the other tent was kind of partially collapsed it was really loose and we got to look and then there was a bunch of sticks and and stuff laying around the tent at both of them and so we're like jumping out we're grabbing all of our we're trying to break everything down we're just we're not even really rolling anything up we're just kind of throwing stuff in the back and we get everything loaded up and it was at that point we started kind of feeling a little more at ease because it was
Starting point is 00:31:54 daylight and we could see what was going on. And so I told the guys, it's like, I was like, let's go, let's look right where that thing was standing and see what we see. And so we walked over there to the tree and there was clearly a perfect footprint right next to this tree. And we started looking around and you can see it's flip. footprints all the way around camp and it basically we kind of tracked it and it had been it looked like it just wore a trail down around this area just inside the trees but i distinctly remember when we were driving by it there was a little jack pine that was next to it and it came up to its chest and uh you know so obviously the shoulders and head was above this jack pine well when We were standing there.
Starting point is 00:32:56 That jack pine was at the top of my head. And at that time, I was probably like 5, 10, I'm guessing, something like that. So we're talking. We're just like, do we tell somebody about this? What should we do? And at that point, I decided I was going to be the one. I was going to go tell somebody. So we got all of our stuff loaded and we headed out of there.
Starting point is 00:33:24 We drove all the way into sisters, and we went to the Forest Service. There's a forest ranger station there. And we sat out in the parking lot debating on if we should tell anybody and who was actually going to tell. And I was like, I'll do it. I don't care. You know, something's got to be done about this. So I walk in there, and I looked at it. the guy that was there at the counter and I was like I know I'm just a teenager you're probably not
Starting point is 00:34:01 going to believe me or anything but and I told him the story and he looked at me with the straight face and he's like oh yeah he goes we get reports like this all the time big for society will be right back after these messages if data management is slowing down your business you need the Intuit ERP.

Starting point is 00:36:00 Like this commercial break, did you need 15 seconds away for music? Or 15 seconds to eat or Reese's? Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a Reese's. And I was like, really? And he's like, oh yeah, he goes, it happens all the time around here. And I was like, well, there's a clear footprint up there if you want to do whatever, if you want to take pictures.
Starting point is 00:36:32 And he was like, no, he goes, we got plenty of the, we got plenty of castings from other people. We don't need it. And I was like, in my head, I was thinking, what the heck? These things aren't real, but yet here's somebody telling me that they are real. And I was just baffled by that. I couldn't quite fathom what was going on and what had just happened to us. So we go to school the next week and we start telling everybody. And I mean, we got rid of kids.
Starting point is 00:37:10 We got laughed at. We're a bunch of idiots. And you guys, you know the story. You know, and so we just quit talking about it. We still, to this day, talk about it whenever we see each other. Actually, only one of the friends that was with me I actually keep in contact with. And he remembers it like it was yesterday as well. But that was my first encounter.
Starting point is 00:37:40 Any questions? That is absolutely intense. Have you ever heard anything else that sounds like that talking that you heard that day? Well, the crazy thing is, is throughout all my years of hunting up until that point and beyond. I have heard it like a couple other times, but like I said, you know, back then there was, no internet I hardly ever even watch TV I the only thing I ever seen about
Starting point is 00:38:22 a Bigfoot was some guy debunked the Patty Gimlin film and it was on the news and it was a hoax and that was what I knew of Bigfoot at the time and I didn't know
Starting point is 00:38:37 about any of this other stuff that supposedly Bigfoot's do it wasn't until finding Bigfoot came on is when I started like tree knocks I was like I hear those all the time
Starting point is 00:38:56 you know all these whoops and whistles and I mean I had always hear that stuff out in the woods somebody like whistle and at me thinking trying to get my attention and I look and I never could see anybody but what really really freaked me out was when that came on and then that, uh,
Starting point is 00:39:18 oh, what's the name of the, the chat, the talk, uh, Sierra sounds. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:26 Uh, when they first did that, I about crap my drawers because that was basically, it wasn't exact, but it was close enough to where it freaked me out. I was like, holy crap. I was,
Starting point is 00:39:39 I was actually chasing this thing because I was, I thought it was people. you know and or my buddies right at the time i was just like whoa so you have heard the sierra sounds and you're saying what you heard that day was very similar to the sierra sounds yes so like i said there was two of them that sounded like almost like kids like younger like younger people and then there was one that would only talk ever so often, but it was super deep.
Starting point is 00:40:20 But it was close enough to those Sierra sounds where I could tell you that that's exactly what it was, just that language that I was hearing. When you saw the one in the headlights and you had to drive by it to get out,
Starting point is 00:40:40 who in the vehicle was the closest to the Bigfoot when you guys drove by? The driver. It was on the left side as we were, like, leaving. Gotcha. Were you able to see any details of the face at all, or what did it look like specifically when you had the headlights on it?
Starting point is 00:41:05 Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, I can't get it out of my head. I know exactly what it looked like. I know this is going to sound stupid just because after watching all these podcasts and these documentaries and things like that, the closest one I could tell you what it looked like was, I don't know if you, that Todd's standing that nobody seems to believe or like.
Starting point is 00:41:32 That one that's like peeking through this little window that, I can't remember he calls it by something. name. It's black, but it looks, it looked just like a, like an ancient human is what it looked like a human. So this is really interesting because this now makes the second time on the show that someone uses that specific reference. The first time being an individual who is looking for gold south of Oak Ridge, so not too far away. in the grand scheme of things. It's a very,
Starting point is 00:42:14 very interesting detail for you to bring up. Oh, really? Yeah, this, I just, when I, when I watch that Todd's standing documentary and I seen that, I mean, it just,
Starting point is 00:42:29 it's almost, it's, it's almost like an identical twin that I, that I'm looking at. And my second encounter actually looks just like the other one that he shows, not the,
Starting point is 00:42:40 not the, not the brown one that's like super clear but it's like uh well i hate to say this and i'm not not being mean but it it's got the it's the color of like an orangutan but it has the face like a down syndrome person has um and i'm not being mean about that or anything i'm just that's what it look like i think he calls that one yeah i think he calls that one jane or something like a female Yeah, that's also really interesting because you're not the only one that has used that description in, um, in, in the field. Um, it's come up a few times and, uh, it's very interesting. Yeah. It's, uh, a detail that keeps coming up. So I think there's, there could be something there. Yeah, both of my encounters the, like that one, they, they, they look different. Um, like I. said this one took on more of a like an ancient human like it's hard to explain uh if you've seen that documentary you'd know what i was talking about but then the other one had a different look
Starting point is 00:44:01 in the face um but i you know just like we all do as humans oh absolutely yeah we have similar characteristics but then very very different different features as well. Yeah, that's a great way to put it. I mean, you hear all these Bigfoot encounters, and they're similar, yet they are very, very unique. Those are the questions I have so far. Lyle, feel free to continue if you'd like.
Starting point is 00:44:34 Just one more thing I'd add to that. So that, like I said, its head and shoulders were above that tree. So, you know, it sounds so stereotypical, but I'm guessing it was between the eight and nine foot tall range. And there was nothing, nothing around that tree that he could have been standing on. I say he. I don't know if it was a he or not. But there's nothing on that was around there that he could have been standing on or, you know, elevated himself.
Starting point is 00:45:09 So I just wanted to add that as far as like. hype and stuff. You know, I did think of another question. During that time when you actually had the Bigfoot in the headlights, did anyone in any of the cars start to have any weird out of the ordinary physical reaction to seeing what they saw? You know, thinking, just, I don't think they don't think they'd did. If they did, it wasn't told to me
Starting point is 00:45:49 about it. And out of all the times, all this has happened to me, I personally have never, like, felt any different. I'm one of those ones that I seem to be opposite of what everybody else is. Like, you know, people
Starting point is 00:46:06 don't talk about it, which I, we did. We talked to, we still to this day, talk about it. Like, we couldn't shut up. about it and you hear all these other people that were with friends or something like that and they never say a word about it um i i do believe that a lot of the stuff that people are feeling is the amount of fear and adrenaline is going through your body i think a lot of that feeling that people think is infersound or whatever is just coming down off of that that that that that that that
Starting point is 00:46:45 adrenaline that that they're producing at the time. It's such a shock to your system because you're witnessing something that you've been told all your life that doesn't even exist. And it's facing you and you're facing it. Yeah, I mean, it's right there. And just imagine if you had that sighting not being in a vehicle, not having that almost false sense of security. I mean, it wouldn't take much for it to take a vehicle apart.
Starting point is 00:47:20 And, you know, I mean, that's not going to really save you, I think. Yeah, no, no. And that's the way I look at it nowadays is I, back when that happened, it took me forever to get to where I would really felt comfortable even going out by myself. but I've gotten to the point now where if this thing was out to kill you or hurt you, it would have done that to me a long time ago. The amount of time I spent out in the woods and all the experiences I've had, I'd have been gone a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:48:01 And I hear people talking about, well, if you shoot at one, you're in big trouble. Well, we shot at one numerous times, but I'm guessing 30, plus rounds and we're still here. It never, it never did anything as far as like it didn't, wasn't aggressive. It was almost like it was just curious and it was just, just wanted to watch us. It's a very lucky situation. I've taken a report from an individual where one of his friends opened fire in the Packwood, Washington area, and shot it in the face. And then later on, this individual was thrown in the woods about 10 feet
Starting point is 00:48:57 by something they couldn't see. And, I mean, it doesn't, you can guess what that would have been. You're one of the lucky, uh, unique situations, uh, to be able to do something like that and, uh, not have, you know, something happened to you. So it's, yeah, it's very unique to hear. Um, okay. Well, I'll, I'll go on to my second encounter. Sure. Um, this one, this one I don't talk about too much because I was by myself. The only reason I, like my wife and kids, uh, they all, have heard that story a gazillion times because they all have me tell their friends and their you know oh dad tell tell them your big foot story well this one i keep quiet about and i
Starting point is 00:49:51 don't think i've ever told anybody this one um just because i was by myself and it's kind of it's one of those things that i pretty much just kept myself because i had the experience of the first one telling people about it and I had three other buddies with me with that one. This one being by myself, I could only imagine the kind of crap I would get from telling this story, but I'm going to tell it anyways. So like everybody already knows, I live out here Malala and there is a spot up a road. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

Let's go, girls You know what I love about Addy? Everything? Well, yeah, but it's as little as $20 a month.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Ooh, well, the Little Pink Pill has always been a pretty big deal. A really big deal. I'd call that a good investment. Che-ching. Man, I feel like a woman.

Like this commercial break, did you need 15 seconds away from music, or 15 seconds to eat or Reese's? Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a Reese's. It's called Will Hoyt Road.
Starting point is 00:52:37 And there was a spot that I used to love to hunt up there. It always kind of gave me the creepy feeling. It's super big, tall, old growth. fur trees. I don't know why it does, but every time I go in there, I just kind of felt creepy. But I love to hunt it
Starting point is 00:53:00 because there was lots of elk and lots of deer in there all the time. Well, I went up there one day by myself. It was deer season. And I was sneaking up through the old growth fur. And underneath this old growth fur, there's it's just a sea of ferns and the ferns are probably three foot tall and i was walking uphill
Starting point is 00:53:27 and as i was walking uphill i was looking at the ground at looking for you know sign seeing if the deer had been moving through there if the elk had been moving through there and uh this little bowl shaped area, it's probably, I'd say 100 by 100 yards. And I can see the whole face of the hillside all the way around me. Well, as I'm walking through the ferns, I'm looking down to the ground. And I just start to pick my head up and in the corner of my eye, I catch movement. And as I start to turn my head look, what I saw was I thought what I saw was a bear. And it was by this big fir tree.
Starting point is 00:54:24 And if you ever seen a bear coming down out of a tree, just right when it touches the ground, its rear legs are on the ground and its front legs are up above its head still hanging onto the tree. Well, that's the position it was in when I first seen it. And right when I, my eyes looked at it, that was my first thought, was bear. And I whipped my rifle off. And I had a bear tag. I always had a bear.
Starting point is 00:54:57 I always have a bear tag. And the season runs during deer season. And so I ripped my rifle off. And as I'm ripping my rifle off and swinging to shoot this bear, it comes down off of the tree. And as it's coming off the tree is when it looks at me. And I could see that it had hands and it had a face. And it went from bear to holy, you know what, it's Bigfoot.
Starting point is 00:55:33 And this thing is only 50 yards from me. And it went down to onto all fours and it went behind this tall ferns. And I had my gun up in it in my mind. I'm going, do I shoot it? Do I shoot it? What do I do? And I'm like, okay, this thing's going to come out somewhere. I'll be able to see it because I could see the whole hillside.
Starting point is 00:56:01 And there was there was no place for it to go other than on this hillside. It had to leave. Well, the ferns moved just for a split second when it went behind the ferns. And I'm sitting there, you know, my eyes are just like scanning. Like, where is this thing? And I'm looking for it. And I never see anything come out. And so I start slowly creeping up to my left.
Starting point is 00:56:31 And I'm going to try to get above it where I can look down onto it. And as I'm sneaking around, I got, I mean, my eyes are like all over the place, just seeing if this thing's going to escape anywhere. And I don't see anything. And I make it all the way around 360 degrees all the way around where this thing went behind these ferns. And I never saw anything. And so I finally got the courage up and I started sneaking up. to where it actually was and there was nothing there.
Starting point is 00:57:10 It just like, it just like vanished. But it was so crystal clear when I seen it and when it came down, it went to all fours and it went behind those ferns. I mean, I could still to this day see it in my head. And I don't know what the heck would happen. Where did it get, you know, I don't know where it went.
Starting point is 00:57:34 To this day, I couldn't tell. and as big as it was, you would have seen the ferns move, you would have seen it come out on the hillside. I had a wide open hillside that had the only other way would have been right past me. And it never came past me.
Starting point is 00:57:57 And that's why I don't ever talk about it because it sounds so far-fetched that I think everybody's like, got that mindset like, oh, yeah, what were you smoking? What were you drinking? You know, so I just never talk about it. But that was my second sighting.
Starting point is 00:58:18 And that's the one that it was a reddish color. It looked kind of like a rangatang color, the hair, but the face looked like that Todd Standings, Jane that he calls her, I think. It had that kind of down syndrome. me look to its face. That's my second sighting. What was the sound like in the woods that day? Well, it was, it was super like misty, kind of like a fog misty.
Starting point is 00:58:57 You could just hear like rain drops. It's just like dew. You get this, we get this dew over here that we'll sit on the leaves and then it will build up and then it drips. And that was the only, it was dead quiet other than that. From what you saw, the point when you had seen, you know, it comes off the tree, it has hands, has a face. Do you remember any details that stick out in your mind that made you think, okay, this is not a bear. What I'm seeing in the face right now is totally different.
Starting point is 00:59:42 I was able to lock my eyes on it. The other thing I forgot to mention was as my eyes were coming up and actually visually seeing this thing, there was like a tree knock. And it sounded like it came from that thing, that big foot. But there was nothing in its hand as far as like a stick or anything. So, which kind of leads me to think that there are these tree knocks that people talk about, I think they're doing it with their mouth or something. Because it was so loud that knock when it happened, it had to have been that one right there.
Starting point is 01:00:28 You know, it had to been that animal there that made the noise. It was so loud. It was just like right there. when it happened. And, but as, as I heard that is when I was seeing it, but nothing fell out of its hands. Like it was, like it would have hit something with a stick, you know, if it would add a stick, I would have thought that I would see like a stick, you know, flying out of its hands or falling out of its hands.
Starting point is 01:01:02 Yeah, I don't, I don't know. I think I had a buddy back in high school that could do this thing with this tongue. he had sucked his tongue up against the roof of his mouth. And he had just, and it would just, I mean, he would actually almost make you deaf. It just blow your eardrums out. And it's kind of what I'm leaning towards on this knocking thing after seeing that. You know, I agree with you. There's more than a few people in the community that are throwing around theories like, you know, what you just said
Starting point is 01:01:37 or sometimes having its hands in front of its face so it can make like some kind of, you know, clap its hands or maybe even, I think there's some individuals out there that think there might be like some kind of air sac that it can, you know, inflate in its throw. I haven't heard that one a lot, but what you said,
Starting point is 01:02:02 I've heard that more than a few times. It's very interesting. Yeah, it's, it was, so loud and clear when it happened and it was obvious that that Bigfoot made that sound but I did not see
Starting point is 01:02:19 anything in its hand was so which leads me to believe that it was doing it somehow through its mouth or or whatever I don't I don't know how you know I wouldn't even that that's all speculation I'm just guessing
Starting point is 01:02:37 but it was i seen it enough to know that it wasn't hitting the tree with a stick but it made that sound like it hit the tree with a stick absolutely what approximate year was this again uh i'm going to say the early 2000s okay um i couldn't tell you what it was before i had hounds uh so i'm going to say like 2004, 2005. I think it's important to point out real quick for listeners that Lyle is not a Bigfoot researcher. He is a lifelong hunter. And these, you know, he does listen to some Bigfoot media, but he's not a researcher.
Starting point is 01:03:33 He is primarily a hunter. Yeah, no, no. I've never, until finding Bigfoot came out, I didn't even know that there was even a possibility that Bigfoot made trenox or whoops or whistles or any of that stuff. I had through rocks. I mean, even the chatter, the talking, I knew nothing about it. Nor did I care to even learn. But until that happened and I started putting all these pieces together of stuff that had happened. to me over the years, I was just like, holy crap, I cannot believe all this stuff has been
Starting point is 01:04:20 happening and I had no clue. It is always interesting in conversations like this, you know, how there's a point when the individual starts to put everything together. But it's been a fascinating conversation so far, Lyle. Did you have any other things happen after that? Those are the only two actual physical sightings I've had, but I've had other crazy things happen to me. I got into hound hunting several years ago. And up in this same area, well, this is up the Malala corridor. We used to do a lot of bobcat hunting.
Starting point is 01:05:06 And I had, I used to hunt with several buddies that had hounds. and these hounds were bear dogs, they were cat dogs. These dogs had zero fear of anything. These dogs would, you know, you'd catch a bear on the ground. They'd catch a bear on the ground and be right in that bear's face, just baying it up, going crazy. Well, one night we were up hound hunting and the dogs struck, and they were going crazy.
Starting point is 01:05:41 And we turned them out and they went running up on this up on the hill up on this bluff. And all sudden you hear all this yippin and yiping and like something was hurting them. And here they come running back down the hill, tails between their legs, and they bailed back in the truck. It was like we could not get them back out of the truck. And they actually refused to come back out of that box all night long. They wouldn't even say a peep, which is completely like, it just doesn't happen. Well, a buddy of mine, as a little spoof, they went and got, I think it was a gorilla costume. And they were doing this little video, and they had their hounds on their truck.
Starting point is 01:06:33 And they had this guy that was dressed up in a gorilla suit run out in front of them, and they were video in it. And the dogs struck, and I'm assuming they thought it was a bear that ran across the road. And when they turned those dogs loose, they tore off after it. And as soon as they got close enough where he'd stepped back out on the road and they could see that it was like an upright gorilla, those dogs like hit the brakes, started to yippin, wheeled around and did that exact. same thing back to the truck and they were like whimpering. It was like they had seen it before. And it's like they knew exactly what it was and they did not want anything to do with it, which is just totally crazy to me because these dogs, they're just insane.
Starting point is 01:07:27 I mean, they're fearless, which I thought was pretty interesting seeing that. Another thing that had happened to us a couple of years ago, my wife and She went up deer hunting with me, and we were driving down the road up by Table Rock, Wilderness Area. And it was a weekday, and we were the only ones up there. There was a slight skip of snow on the road. And we were putting up this little logging road. Nobody had been on it. We were the first truck on it.

That sound seems to show. Everything happens for a reeses. And all of a sudden, I catch something coming towards my windshield. I thought it was a bird.
Starting point is 01:10:16 And I'm like, oh, crap. And before I could say crap, it had hit my window, and it was an actual rock. and it hit my windshield dead centered it and it slid down my windshield onto the all the plate where your wipers are and my wife looked at me and she goes is that what I think that was and I was like I think so I mean that was a rock
Starting point is 01:10:43 and she saw it coming too and it was thrown so it was thrown and it came off the hillside which it's all all trees but you could not hit my windshield more dead center than that rock did that was another crazy one that
Starting point is 01:11:03 had happened to us another crazy experience we had was it was archery season which is September hotter than heck out my father-in-law and I we decided we were going to go I found these elk in the swamp area
Starting point is 01:11:19 up in this timber company that it used to be walking only. You couldn't drive in there. I had walked up in there and I'd found a pretty good size herd of elk up in this swamp area. And it was so hot out at that time of the year. It was getting down to, it was still like in the 80s at night. So we decided, well, let's walk up in there. This was Friday afternoon.
Starting point is 01:11:49 Let's walk up in there. We'll get up in there just before daylight and we'll just sack out underneath the tree. We'll wake up and we'll be right there on them first thing in the morning. So my father-in-law, he's been in the woods his whole life as well. His father-in-law and all that, he actually was one of the guys ran this same timber company. Well, not timber company, the same company, but the same land. for many, many years. She had been all over up in there.
Starting point is 01:12:23 So we walked up in there and we get up in there and we find a perfect spot just to lay down and crash out for the night. And it got to be about 10 o'clock. And we were getting eaten by the mosquitoes. The mosquitoes were just absolutely horrible. And all of a sudden, I don't know the exact time.
Starting point is 01:12:47 I'm guessing it was around 11. maybe 12 all of a sudden we hear this I want to say scream but it wasn't a scream it was more like a roar and the only thing I can describe it is like that Ohio howl but it was so freaking loud it was like insanely loud and it was coming from that same swamp that I had found those elk in And my father-in-law was like, that had to have been a bear, right? I was like, yeah, no, that wasn't a bear. I'd, you know, hound hunted. I heard plenty of bears and cougars and all that stuff, knew exactly what they sounded like.
Starting point is 01:13:34 But this thing was, it was insanely loud. Like, it shook your guts type loudness. And it was still ways off. That swamp was, we were still probably a quarter of mine. away from that swamp and that's where exactly where it sounded like but it was so loud that it's still reverberated in your chest it was so loud um you may have heard me talk about before i've i think i've heard something similar in uh the williamette down by oakridge uh it just the way that affects you is nuts physically it's just oh yeah oh my goodness yeah it's yeah and of course we
Starting point is 01:14:22 had to spend the rest of the night. I took the only thing we had, it was archery season. Also, the only thing we had was bow and arrows. And so I took, I think I took two arrows out. And I slept with one arrow in each hand sticking straight out from me. And I actually, I didn't even sleep. I just sat there all night. And I didn't know what else to do. I wasn't about ready to walk out of there because we were a couple miles in. And we didn't, I don't even think we had a headlight. I don't think we even brought a headlight. We want super light. Um, but we just laid there all night long waiting for it to get daylight. And, uh, and actually after it got daylight, I looked at him. It's like, you're ready to go hunt? He's like,
Starting point is 01:15:09 no, let's get out of here. He didn't want anything to do with going into that after hearing that. Wow. Oh my goodness. Yeah. And then that same area. oh it was several years later they opened it up to a permit and so you could drive in there well i had went in there with a couple buddies we were deer hunting and i ran across this herd of bucks there was probably 10 or 12 bucks in it and we decided we were going to hunt this timber ridge that kind of ran and it was actually right behind that swamp that i was talking about and we get to walking down that ridge and my buddies are off to my left and I was right on top of that ridge and I'm walking down and I get to this area and there is crap everywhere and this stuff was like this when I say
Starting point is 01:16:11 feces crap this stuff was like the size of a pop can and it was literally like in piles everywhere And as I got to looking around, I watched this documentary. I think it's the, is it the Bigfoot Project or I can't remember it's up in the on the peninsula where they find these nests. Oh, the Olympic project. Yeah, there you go. There you go. And I found this nest. and it was woven with
Starting point is 01:16:51 like fur bows and stuff like that but there was like literally you can see mounds probably a foot and a half two foot tall of animal crap
Starting point is 01:17:03 and it was spread out all over the place in there and it was super thick but there was a nest in there well I got my buddies over there I'd go look at this what was this and I still at that point didn't know anything about all this stuff
Starting point is 01:17:17 and they're like it has to be bear I mean and that's what I thought it was was a bear but watching that documentary I'm pretty positive that that was a nest and it was right on
Starting point is 01:17:34 like I said it was right on top of a ridge behind that swamp and there was zero roads it was pretty hard to get to and with all the other experiences that had been happening up there I'm pretty positive that was a nest we stumbled on.
Starting point is 01:17:51 Of course, you know, I didn't know anything about it, so I didn't even think to take pictures or anything like that. Of course. It's a hindsight's 2020 thing. Did you say this is also in the Table Rock Wilderness area or something, a completely different area? Yeah, so, yeah, so Table Rock Wilderness is on, I think, the south side of the river.
Starting point is 01:18:15 I was on the north side of the river. Okay. It's a little crick called Bauer Creek. Warehousers, the timber company, Bauer Creek, B-A-U-E-R, I believe, or maybe it's B-A-U-R-E-R. Is this also early 2000s probably? Yes, yes. It dumps into Pine Creek. Yeah, I believe it.
Starting point is 01:18:47 I think it dumps into Pine Creek. Cyncrack Canyon, which is where Pine Creek is, which is where when you watch, I think it's finding Bigfoot, that was the other thing that was kind of, if you follow that ridge down, it comes out. There's a guy that talks about seeing a big foot, and they're standing at that bridge, at Pine Creek Bridge. He doesn't say it's Pinecric Bridge, but that's where it's at, where he had an encounter. while he was fishing right there.
Starting point is 01:19:23 Okay. And that was on that finding Bigfoot. I think he said he's seen red glowing eyes. That's the other thing is all this stuff that's happened to me. I've never like that I can remember. I never had smelt anything off. You know, never,
Starting point is 01:19:44 you hear people talking about, they have these smell, this horrible smell. I never found like, other than that one, the first experience I've had, I've never found like a definite footprint. I've definitely ran into stuff that, you know, it looked like it, but I couldn't tell you to 100% if it was or not. Yeah, so that same spot, that Pine Creek Canyon where that guy was just up the river from, there. I was fishing salmon fishing
Starting point is 01:20:23 and I parked my rig and walked down. It was probably 150 yards down to the river and I had rocks thrown into the river while I was fishing and never I actually was yelling at them like hey a hole
Starting point is 01:20:39 you know knock it off I'm down here fishing I went walking back up thinking I'd see somebody parked by my rig and there was nobody that I could find. So, you know, all that stuff is stuff that I couldn't tell you 100% that it was Bigfoot or if it was somebody throwing rocks. A lot of this stuff I can't.
Starting point is 01:21:05 A lot of this, you know, the whistles that I've heard over the years, you know, some of the tree knocks, it could have been, I've been in the woods where I've heard the trees creaking and it sounded like a wood knock and I'm like, huh, that must have been what I've been here in all this time. But, I mean, you never know. Seems like a lot of people are having these same experiences. Oh, yeah, especially over the years in this area. It's just, I mean, I've talked to multiple individuals that have had just wild stuff happen in this Malala area.
Starting point is 01:21:44 We were talking about this beforehand, and I think it might be good to, to be good to mention it as well. This entire Malala River Corridor area has been burned recently, correct? If data management is slowing down your business, you need the Intuit ERP.

Starting point is 01:23:38 eat or Reese's? Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a Reese's. Oh yeah. Yeah, that's why I don't really mind sharing where this stuff is at because it's basically moonscape now from the fires we had. in 2020. You know, there's really nothing left of it up here. It's, yeah, it was bad. It's bad. It's pretty much gone now. Yeah, so that to say, guys, you're not going to be able to drive up there and find the
Starting point is 01:24:12 next Olympic project, Bigfoot Nest site probably because it's all been burned. So just a heads up on that, guys. Did you have any other things you were wanting? to share as well, Lyle? There is one other, so I'd send you an email back a couple years or several years ago, my kids were still young. We went to Colton High School. It was for, I want to say it was a wrestling tournament or something.
Starting point is 01:24:39 Well, when I walked in there, the front foray, the entrance area, there was a big, it was actually a pretty big, Bigfoot display there. And at the time, I didn't really think much of it, but I went up this, I used to hunt up this road. It's called Hillock Burn Road. It's up out of Colton and Elwood. And I was driving up Hillock Burn one year. It was archery season. And I ran into this old guy that was living in a camp trailer.
Starting point is 01:25:10 And he was the night watchman slash security guy for the loggers that were up there. He kind of watched the equipment. and the site forum. And I kind of befriended him because he obviously lived up there and I was trying to get information. I was like, hey, you see the elk out here? And he always, the first couple of times I talked to him,
Starting point is 01:25:36 I'd ask him and say, hey, you've seen the elk or deer? And he's like, no, but I've seen Bigfoot. And he was one of those old guys that kind of like, the way he talked and stuff, you were like, okay, is this guy, I think he's kind of out there type. And I think it was like the third or fourth time I'd stop and talk to him. He was like, let me show you. Let me show you. These suckers were in here and he took me down this little tiny trail.
Starting point is 01:26:05 It used to be a road that's all grown up now. And he was showing me all these trees that were snapped over. The tops were snapped over and they were all twisted. And I You know Just like I said back at that time I didn't know That that's what Bigfoot
Starting point is 01:26:23 Was associated That that type of stuff was associated with Bigfoot And When I Finding Bigfoot came out I started kind of looking into all these documentaries Well I found this old documentary And I was trying to find it
Starting point is 01:26:40 So I could tell you But I can't I wasn't able to find it It starts out with this kind of this guy playing drums. Yes, I was like, this is the Henry Franzoni one. I knew it the whole time you were talking. I was like, it's the guy from the Henry Franzoni documentary. Oh my goodness.
Starting point is 01:26:56 Yeah, and that guy was on there. And I was like, are you freaking kidding? I knew it. Same guy. Oh, man. Same freaking guy. I just knew it when you were describing them. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:27:08 So that whole documentary was off of Hillock Burn, that same road. No way. Yeah. Oh, man. Yeah, which was, which kind of blew me away. I was like, what in the heck is going on? Why do I, you know, like you'd said, I'm not a researcher. I don't, I mean, me and my family go out and we do it.
Starting point is 01:27:31 We've had experiences, which I'll probably have to say for another time. But we go out and just kind of do it for fun now, but when there's nothing else to do. but yeah all this stuff is so crazy sorry I'm getting a little bit excited so I'm gonna try not to interrupt but so is this Hillock Burn Spring it's not I don't think it's it's just Hillock Burn Road I believe
Starting point is 01:28:06 okay so it's not like off of Forest Road 46 ah it's very well could be. So if you go due north out of Colton there'll be I think it's I want to say five miles
Starting point is 01:28:25 out of Colton towards Esticada. It's Hillockburn Road and you take a ride on that and you stay on that and that takes you back up oh by goat mountain Oh yeah Green Green Mountain and that country up and there
Starting point is 01:28:45 Holy mackerel. So, okay, this is wild because, as I said, I think this might have been off air, but I'm reading the Oregon Bigfoot Highway book again, which is Forest Road 46. And then it goes down to 224. Road numbers and names. But it's pretty much like the craziest Bigfoot area in that part of the Pacific Northwest. And I'm going to have to see.
Starting point is 01:29:14 I'm going to have to. Okay, here it is. 46 and then route 224. So you like take 46 through Ripplebrook and then eventually it dumps you out at Detroit Lake. But that's crazy. So to know that that's my favorite Bigfoot documentary dude is Henry Franzone. He got to talk to him a few times. He was a great guy.
Starting point is 01:29:39 He's no longer with us. But to know that that, I always wanted to know where that area was. and for you just to drop that. Oh, my goodness, you are incredible, my friend. I always wanted to talk to that dude in the documentary, but it's like he's long gone. He's got to be long gone. Oh, I'm sure.
Starting point is 01:29:57 Yeah. Yeah, that was years ago. Super nice guy. Kind of, like I say, kind of out there. And when I've seen that, I just about fell out of my chair. Because you know. Yeah. You know he's seen stuff.
Starting point is 01:30:14 the way the guy, the type of guy he is, he was having stuff happen all the time. Oh, yeah. I mean, it was so matter of fact. Like, he didn't even like, well, I don't know type attitude. I mean, it was like, this is what's happening. This is what they're doing. It was like he knew exactly what was going on and who they were and what they were all about. Incredible.
Starting point is 01:30:40 My goodness. I will also say the listeners, all these areas, a lot of these areas that are being talked about are hard to get to, and it's not just a thing where it's like, I'm going to go out there and do whatever. You need to be prepared for survival situations
Starting point is 01:31:01 in some of these situations. So just be careful. I would recommend getting the Oregon Bigfoot Highway talks about it. It's a great book. Oh, yeah, I'll definitely look into that. Oh, yeah, you would love it, man. I know we're running out.
Starting point is 01:31:14 Yeah. I know we're running out of time. Maybe I'll maybe plan another one where I can talk about all my family's experiences and everything else. Oh, man. We got the family stuff too. Yeah. Can I ask you one more question while I got you? Uh-huh.
Starting point is 01:31:33 Just in case. And this is going to be a left curveball, whatever, whatever the analogy is. Do you know of any Bigfoot activity that's happened over the years down by Suttall Lake? Are you familiar with that area? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, I used to hunt that all the time. I've had a few not cut and dried experiences, but things like I've been talking about happen there. I have several friends that have told me stories about things that have happened out there. I'd have to get with those guys and ask them if it's okay to talk to them.
Starting point is 01:32:16 I respect that, yeah. Absolutely. You always want to check that. Yep. Yep. Just, you know, all these buddies I talk about that was with me, I didn't ask them. And I, you know, with the amount of crap you get from talking about this stuff, I hate to drop, start dropping names and everything without anybody's permission. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:37 And to tell you the truth, I would edit, I usually end up editing the names out more recently. Oh, got you. It's like, I mean, if it's secondhand stuff, you never know, right? And especially if they're a weird name. Yeah. You can track those down. Yeah, like my name, with my name, I mean, it's like everybody's going to know exactly who's talking here. It's not like a Brian where there's a gazillion Brian's.
Starting point is 01:33:05 Yeah. There's not too many Wiles. out there. Lyle, this has been a, we got to have it. If you're up for it, we got to have another conversation. I've got a whole list of, yeah, yeah,
Starting point is 01:33:21 we could definitely talk again if you're up for. I'd love to talk to you about your family's experiences. Oh, yeah. Like I said, there's a lot more. Okay. Yeah, we got to have you back on. I appreciate you spending some time on your Saturday. talking about, you know, some of my favorite areas in this, this part of Oregon.
