The Confessionals - RELOADED | 31: I Killed Bigfoot

Episode Date: April 20, 2026

Brian lives in southern Ohio near the West Virginia border, where he has seen the creature known as Bigfoot on several occasions. During his third encounter, Brian's experience turned unpleasant when... he found himself in a dangerous situation. While hunting for turkey, he drew the attention a Bigfoot that was not happy to see him. Faced with a decision to make, Brian knew it was either him or this giant creature that was going to die. So, he raised his gun and fired.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Starting point is 00:00:01 Merkel Media I guess it's time To go back in time Are you telling me you built a time machine Had it a Dolion Time is but a stubborn illusion I have a lot of memories
Starting point is 00:00:19 Of the past People are time traveling within themselves Time travel Is possible Is just another long Are you willing to sacrifice your life. They're staying in the shadows.
Starting point is 00:01:03 It's called probing. Make sure things. All right, please. For the rest of the moment. You guys hear that? Okay, I reload it. Welcome to this show, everybody. I'm your host, Tony Merkel, and I am really glad that you're here, and I'm really glad to be here.
Starting point is 00:01:48 Tonight we have a great show coming up, but before we get into that, I'd like to let you know. If you've had an encounter of any kind, it does not matter to me if it's Bigfoot. Dogman, Ghost, Alien, UFO. It doesn't matter to me what you've seen.

Starting point is 00:02:23 what it's all about. Now, tonight's show is going to be a very controversial show. Some of you that listen to my show on a regular basis are very much into the topic of Bigfoot. And with that comes a lot of ideologies and philosophies that you hold, which is very respectable. One of the things that is very much debated in the Bigfoot community is, do you or do you not kill a Bigfoot if you see it? Tonight's show tackles that topic from a perspective that some of you might be offended by. Tonight we bring on Brian, who actually claims to have killed. a Bigfoot, and he comes on to share his story. Now, I want to let you know that tonight's show has a language and content warning. So if you are somebody who does not want to hear bad language or extreme content, then you might want to turn off this episode. And if you have children that typically listen to our show and you don't want them to hear what we're about to talk about, I would highly suggest that maybe they exit the room right now. Without any further delay, let's bring on Brian and talk to him about the day he killed a Bigfoot.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Okay, tonight I have a great guest coming on, Brian. Brian and I connected on Facebook not too long ago, and I saw Brian in a group talking about some things, and I just had to get a hold of him to, you know, just find out exactly what was going on on his property. Brian lives in Southern Ohio. Brian, how are you tonight? Oh, man, I'm doing great.
Starting point is 00:03:50 That's awesome, man. So we were talking online a little bit here and there, and I decided to bring you on tonight and just to have you tell your story of what the heck was going on on your property and it's still going on today. But basically, if you could, just walk us in from the beginning. How'd you find out Bigfoot was on your property? Well, to be honest, it's my first sighting. I was about 14 years old.
Starting point is 00:04:19 being two of my buddies, I really don't want to give any addresses or exact locations to the property. That's just because all the idiots. Now, if they were real bigfoot researchers, I wouldn't remind mine too much, but we all know how idiots can be. So it all started about when I think I was about 14 or 15, me and two boys. bodies. We were on some trails, and across the, oh, I'd say it was about 1,000 yards away, we seen something that kind of looked like a bear moved through the woods,
Starting point is 00:05:04 and I yelled up my buddy, and I said, hey, what the hell is that? And we sat there watching it, and all of a sudden just stood up and walked like a man. And we sat there, we're not even sure if it even realized that we were even there because we were scared to death at that time. And that was the first time I ever seen a red one. But still today, well, later on I figured out what it was, but for the longest time, we cannot believe what it was. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:37 So how far exactly was it away from you? Oh, about a thousand yards. See, we was on one side of the hill, then it broke down into a big valley, then it went up on the other side of the hill, and it was walking right to left, dead center in the middle of the hill, that you got to understand this, it was dead winter.
Starting point is 00:06:01 So all the trees, all the plants, everything, it was clear, it was clear-cut woods. We could see right into it. At first, we thought it was a bear. Then all of a sudden, it just stood up and walked off. And I've always hunted ever since I was 10 years old, and I told my buddies,
Starting point is 00:06:19 I was like, for one, we don't have brown bear in the state of Ohio. And for two, they don't move like that. But I never, it never comprehend that it was an actual Bigfoot that we've seen. That happened years later. That was the first time you saw a Bigfoot on your property. Yeah. Is that the same property that you were on now? Well, actually, that one, he wasn't exactly on the property.
Starting point is 00:06:49 see we moved away then when my mom had to move back to the same road that the property was on that way I seen the first one she had bought property on that road and the distance the part between where we started
Starting point is 00:07:11 seeing them like five years ago is only three miles away so the first sighting was not on our property that happened years later. Okay, I gotcha. So it was in the same area, though.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Yes, yeah, three miles away. Gotcha. All right, so that was the first time you saw one. What happened next? What brought them to your attention on your property years later? Well, she bought the property. She needed help moving in and stuff. And I just went to a bad breakup.
Starting point is 00:07:49 So I moved in long enough to help her. everything was going okay never even thought of it I mean I wouldn't even thinking big foot I was sitting out on the porch smoking the cigarette you know just watching traffic
Starting point is 00:08:03 going by you know just being bored and right about dark I heard the longest loudest how I've ever heard in the woods and I was thinking
Starting point is 00:08:15 what the hell is that and it was roughly about this time a year actually then in the evenings we'd hear it then it was
Starting point is 00:08:27 getting louder than louder than louder then we'd know the city town bags of dog food would brand new bags of dog food
Starting point is 00:08:34 would disappear overnight and stuff rattling the trash cans something sounded and they call them
Starting point is 00:08:44 wolves but I thought what the hell was making that so one night I got up I grabbed the high-powered Arisle, walked out on the porch,
Starting point is 00:08:54 hit the spotlight, and there was standing there in the field. Same damn thing I seen 10 years later. And I thought, what the hell? That's somebody goofing off. Somebody in the monkey
Starting point is 00:09:08 was trying to scare to bloom crap out of people. That's exactly what I thought it was. Then hunting season came in. Then that's when he got real close. He was probably nine foot tall, probably about five foot wide, and I was turkey hunting, and I was in solid camo, right up against the tree.
Starting point is 00:09:29 I blended in so perfect that human could walk by, not even though I was there. 12-gauge shotgun, semi-automatic. Camouflots. I was camouflaged from head to toe, man. I looked like a moving tree through the woods. Got closer, got closer, got closer, got closer. when he got about 15 yards away from me, I raised that 12 days and I blowed its head off.
Starting point is 00:09:54 And that would be my third encounter. So when you saw it coming close to you, you knew it wasn't somebody and so you knew what it was. Oh, yeah. I could see parts of facial features. And like I was telling you earlier, everybody knows that Patterson video. That is the closest video on YouTube.
Starting point is 00:10:18 or wherever that I can sign that I can tell you what I seen. What was in that video them years ago is the same thing I shot right between the eyes and I'll tell you what. I used 1187 with a 3-inch turkey choke tube
Starting point is 00:10:37 and 3.5 inch nitrous turkey banks. I'm telling you it will destroy anything within 10-yard radius says right on the box. Guarantee to kill anything within 10 yard. and I hit him at 15 yards, one shot. We're dead center right in the face. I blowed his whole face off.
Starting point is 00:10:55 So when you were out there, were you actually out there for Bigfoot reasons or were you actually hunting? No, I was turkey hunting. It was April. Turkey season was kicked in in the hunt. Yeah, I've been stalking this great big monster gobbler. I've been trying to bust him for years.
Starting point is 00:11:13 I had my decoy set up. I'm sitting there just being dead silent. Total camouflage, I was totally blended in. I was sitting there busting off on a box car. And I could hear that turkey goblin. And he was coming, I think. I'm pretty sure. And just instantly, just shut up.
Starting point is 00:11:34 I cracked it again. I cracked it again. Then 150 yards in front of me, something moving, something big, heavy. You just see the trees moving. And I thought, oh, my God, here. it is turkey season. Here it comes out, big monster 12 point
Starting point is 00:11:50 everybody's been. Then I've seen what it was. Then it was probably about 40 yards and I tried to scare it off because I didn't want to shoot it. I don't know what the hell it was. And so I moved. And when it seemed me moved,
Starting point is 00:12:10 it took like aggressive stance and it just kept coming closer. And I even was like, hey, hey, get out of here. get, you know, just trying to just get it away. Nope, when he got about 15 yards and looked at me and made this gargling growl sound, I just said, it's a trigger. I was all right.
Starting point is 00:12:31 To me, I made up my mind. Well, it's either going to be him or me, and I'm damn sure they're going to be me. Because I had five rounds of that 12 gauge, and I ought to put all five in him. But at one done it, he went straight back and did not move. I literally blew half his head off. So when you saw this thing coming, you actually felt threatened. It wasn't like it was just walking by you aimlessly and you decided to just rip its head off with a gun or anything. At first it was.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Then it got more of like a squared up body. But like somebody being real pissed off at you, it's about to charge you. You know, like someone about to run up and spear the living shit out of you. That's how it looked. And it was gargling, shaking, tree. Rowing, making all kinds of weird sounds. And they got too close, so I blowed it to that off. Wow.
Starting point is 00:13:27 All right. So this is, I'm trying to take all this in. When you, when you shot this thing, it was 15 yards away. Did it, when it dropped? Maybe 20, maybe 50, in between 15 and 20 to be 100% sure. But I'm going to go in and close. that thing would have grabbed a hold of me and ripped me in half.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Yeah, you said it was nine feet, right? Like I said, man, I think it had to be, oh, yeah, roughly nine feet. At least five foot wide had arm size of tree trunks. The thing was a monster. It was built. I mean, it kind of looked like King Kong staring you down. It was so damn big. And plus I was sitting on the ground with my back to a tree.
Starting point is 00:14:13 So I made at least look three or four foot taller, but it really wasn't. but, you know, imagine sitting down and staring straight up out of Bigfoot. That's pretty much how it was. And he wouldn't have been afraid of me. So, I shot it. Yeah, I mean, when you're in that kind of situation, I know you've gotten a lot of flack from people in the Bigfoot community for, you know, probably putting one down.
Starting point is 00:14:39 And I know there's a lot of people with strong opinions on me. Oh, yeah. They bunch of crybaby wusses, and I ain't afraid to say it on your radio show. all of them can kiss my ass. If I'm ever out in the woods again, I get one 15, 20 yards in front of me. I'm throwing rocks at it. I'm throwing sticks.
Starting point is 00:14:57 I don't care. If I got something in my hands, I'm blown it's at a too close. That ain't happening. Because you never know. I mean, you know, 15, 20 yards, and they say them things can run 30, 40, 40 mile an hour and the house last few think it can grab me and shake me to death,
Starting point is 00:15:12 rip me in half, do whatever. I mean, hell, still today. Think about this. People get missing in our woods, deep in our woods every year, at least 30, 40 people, and they never find a chase of them. Yeah, and with your experience, you haven't had all that great of experiences with these things. So, you know, naturally, I think that, you know, you would feel threatened by these things. I wanted to ask you, when this thing drops to the ground and it's gone, like the way you described it,
Starting point is 00:15:46 It was dead before it hit the ground. What'd you do after that? Did you walk over to it? Did you examine the body? Oh, yeah. I walked over and checked it out. So what did you do? I mean, did you just leave the body there?
Starting point is 00:16:00 Did you try to preserve the body? What was your plan after you saw? Oh, no, no, no, no. I was sitting there looking over top of it. I was about to nail down and touch it. And on top of the hill, I heard it. I heard it sound like something that was up there, just beating the living crap out of it.
Starting point is 00:16:16 tree. So there was more than one of them. And I figured, well, I've only got so much ammo that I can throw out of them. And I don't, I didn't know how many that was actually up there. So I really slowly and carefully backed out of them ones. Then I went and called a bunch of my buddies and told them one had happened. They told me I was smoking way too much pot that day. And I was nuts. and I said, well, bring the AK-47 over here, and let's go back up there, and I will point it out to you. So me and some of my buddies, we went back up there with AK-47s, and something had drugged the body at least 300 foot. But when we got there, we followed the drag marks straight up a real steep hill. Then we found it, and I said, right there's what I shot, and they couldn't believe it.
Starting point is 00:17:10 then we started hearing more and more noises, so we backed out real easily. Then I tried to contact, I think it's, oh, what's that Bigfoot research people? BFRO? Yeah,
Starting point is 00:17:28 I contacted them idiots. Then they sent someone out the next day. They wouldn't even go in the woods. I was like, come up here, I want to show you this big foot. There's fresh blood. There's hair.
Starting point is 00:17:41 You guys can have a field. day. And they looked at me and they said, well, you're walking up there. I was like, well, why not? They said, after you shot one?
Starting point is 00:17:49 Hell no. Best thing you can do is stay out of the woods. I thought, okay, oh, well, just go on. Fuck you in, you know. Then the very next day, three blacked out SUVs pull up
Starting point is 00:18:03 and a game warden truck pulled up. So somebody had turned me in for having it. And I told them what had happened. I told them what it done. And they said, you idiot, do you
Starting point is 00:18:19 realize you shot the number one most endangered species in the United States of America? And that is federal law. You can and will go to jail. I said it got 15 yards away from me. It got aggressive.
Starting point is 00:18:36 I had a 12 gauge. Sorry about your luck. Put me in jail. They said, prove it. Took them up there. They took hair. They took blood. They took all kinds of stuff. They took pictures. They photographed everything. I
Starting point is 00:18:52 showed them where I was sitting because I had moved the leaves. I was buried in there putting, you know, a few because I was trying to blend in best I could. Because that's what you have to do when you're hunting a mature gobler. It's been hunting before. Slightest
Starting point is 00:19:08 little movements, the slightest little thing. You've to have scent protection on. You got to have the whole nine yards to kill these goblers down here. And that's exactly what I was doing. I gave him a hunting license, turkey tag. I was fully legit. I was everything was perfect.
Starting point is 00:19:28 And I showed them what it happened. I showed them what it did. And they said, the next time that I shoot one, I'd better be prepared to prove that I was on. only descended myself because that he was
Starting point is 00:19:46 he was a game warden but he said he was an investigator for the federal wildlife game protection something like that he wasn't exactly a game warden but he worked in that field
Starting point is 00:20:03 and he was an agent for him but they had a game warden with them and they let me go they said just don't ever do it again Well, I hate to die. One of them gets 15 yards from me. I'm blowing this head off too.
Starting point is 00:20:20 I don't care. Don't bother me a little bit. Yeah. Let me ask you, with them telling you that, now, hold on a second. You said there was the ranger, the park ranger, and two other people showed up. Is that right?
Starting point is 00:20:34 Three. Now I take that back, there was four of them. They pulled up in three vehicles. Two blacked out SUVs in the game. I remember seeing them, but I think there was another truck that pulled in as well. But I remember seeing them. We walked up there, show them everything.
Starting point is 00:20:54 They took a shit time of pictures. They took hair. They took blood and they said, don't ever do it again. Never seen or heard from them before then and ain't seen them since then. Did they show you any identification? Oh, yeah. They were federal officers. and I said, well, I thought Bigfoot was immense.
Starting point is 00:21:16 They said, no, stupid. They actually exist. And I said, well, why don't you just come out publicly and tell people that these exes? Their excuse was, we're afraid it would cause widespread panic. And we can't be having that. And we can't be having you damn rednecks in the woods shooting them. So that's why we pretend that they don't exist, but they do. and they're endangered species
Starting point is 00:21:42 and they're protected by federal law. Do it again. I will put you in a bottom of federal prison and no one will ever hear from you again. I said, okay, understood. And they just got in their vehicles and left like it never even happened. Let me ask you,
Starting point is 00:22:03 did they tell you how they would put you in prison? I mean, because these things aren't supposed to exist and they're theoretically just, How are they going to put you away for something? Technically, they are known as a endangered species and they're protected by federal law. It falls into the same principle as me going out here and shooting a bald eagle.
Starting point is 00:22:26 But that's what I'm saying, though. They're telling us that these things don't exist, and now they're telling you that they're protected species. How can they protect the species? Well, the way he explained that he said they're protected species, but we deny it. So people ain't out there intentionally trying to hunt them and kill them. And they said they're afraid of widespread panic, which there's some reason that they just don't want to flat out emit it.
Starting point is 00:22:53 But there's other states that I have minted to them being there. Right. Yeah. I know it's like half omitting where these states, some of these states will come out and give you a little piece of the pie kind of thing. They'll put a little... Well, I was always... told there's a area down there in California and they make these little pamphlets and it shows all the
Starting point is 00:23:17 native animals and Bigfoot is actually one of their native animals that they mention and it is a federal document. But if you shoot one, it's the same law as shooting a bald eagle or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:23:33 See, like in Ohio you're not allowed to shoot a black bear. We know they're here. We occasionally see them, but they're not supposed to be here in Ohio, but they just recently turned some loose, and if you get busted shooting one, same thing. Same thing. Five years in prison, it's a $50,000 fine, and you're not allowed to hunt for 10 years, and you're not allowed to have a gun because it falls under federal law. That's exactly what he told me, and he said, you have a nice day.
Starting point is 00:24:06 So when they went up there to look at the kill site, was the body still there? No, it was gone. Okay, so the other ones must have taken it away. Yep. Well, let me ask you. I have no idea. I have no idea what happened to it. I don't know if some of my buddies came,
Starting point is 00:24:25 some of my buddies could have came back and stole the damn thing, for as I know, or they could have told somebody else where it was at, and they could have stole it. Or the Bigfoot Research team could have came back and nabbed it. Anybody could have went up and grabbed that thing, As long as they just knew where it was, woods are pretty cleaned out.
Starting point is 00:24:44 It wasn't real hard to get to. That was only 500 yards from the house when I shot it. Wow. What year was this again? 13, 2013. Okay. So it wasn't that long ago. I think it was April 25, 2013.
Starting point is 00:25:14 because turkey season hadn't been in that long. I'm pretty sure. Okay, gotcha. So this whole thing happens. You see this thing coming at you. It looks threatening. You shoot it and kill it. And you go over and examine the body.
Starting point is 00:25:34 But before you really could do much, you heard the other ones making noise. You decided to back out of there. When you were near the body, though, what did the hair and facial features look like? Well, that was a problem. He didn't have any more sexual features. I fixed that problem, Gordon.
Starting point is 00:25:50 What about the hair? Was the hair more like a fur, or was it more like a human hair? I'll tell you what. It kind of looked like a cross between a human's hair and a bear's hair. That's what it put me in the mind of. Okay. It was kind of longish, but it was like all matted together. Gotcha.
Starting point is 00:26:15 And it was red. did you notice if it was a male or female? Well, I've seen a female, and it wasn't a female. And also, I wanted to know, did you get a chance to look at the feet? I mean, everybody finds these footprints everywhere. Did you get a chance to look at the feet, and, you know, I don't know, what they look like? Do they just look like normal feet? I didn't look at its seat.
Starting point is 00:26:43 I never thought to him. I was looking at its head. I was looking at its head and its chest because I was kind of in shock I bet I got that damn place to want I mean it didn't really set in until after I shot and got up and actually
Starting point is 00:27:01 looked over top of it then I realized what I shot what did you feel like after that and it definitely was not huh how'd you feel once you realized what you shot I can't believe
Starting point is 00:27:15 I just busted the world's spirit of strafey. That's exactly what I felt like. I felt like I killed the 30 point bucks. But you guys, but people have got to understand this is coming from a hunter. I spend, I start preparing for deer season in July or June. I put the cameras back out at June. I start feeding my deer at June 1st.
Starting point is 00:27:46 I check my cameras every three days. I buy the top protein food. I put out food plots. I actually go plow up some of the field, and I actually go and buy different types of stuff that only deer like eating, you know, stuff. I grow stuff that most people wouldn't even eat, like turnips.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Oh, my God, then big monster bucks are going there and just rip a turn it field upside down. Sometimes I even plant soybeans just for the deer to eat. I don't go down there and harvest that stuff. But I tell you what, 10 yards from the field in the tree line, I bet you I got three cameras in a tree stand. So, yeah, I spend most of my time playing in the woods. Or I'm test firing a near icele.
Starting point is 00:28:41 I got a few buddies that work for Henry Leaver, and they're modifying this special Henry Leaver Golden Boy. I'm going to run me about $2,300. I'm my new Bigfoot done. He tells them idiots in Ohio, he started down to 4570. You can hunt with them in Ohio. That's like using a supercharged 12 gauge.
Starting point is 00:29:05 So let me ask you, when it came to these agents that showed up to your property and they told you all this stuff, did you get a sense that they were trying to cover something up? Were they trying to keep it quiet? Or do you think they were coming more towards you and letting you know, listen, we know what you did and this is what's going to have if you do it again.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Or do you... Oh, they were, they acting like they were like, I killed Jesus, man. They were pissed off. But what was weird about it, the ones in the black SUV were in plain clothes. They wouldn't like a game warden. And they had like the game warden's badge made like a necklace hanging off of them. They didn't have to pull out their ID. They came out with a came out.
Starting point is 00:29:50 their ID already, and they came heavily armed. Yeah, one of them had one of them short, AR-15's chopped down military style. Yeah, they went and playing. They were straight up pissed off. They said, all right, we know what you did. Where's the Bigfoot game warden? Then the other one said, I'm a federal officer for the division of wildlife, basically FBI. Wow.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Yeah, they were very, very, very unhappy. I said, hey, he'd go too close to me. It scared to hell of me. I blew the head off. I looked right out that, Fredelage, and I said, but he kissed my ass. It was either him or me, and I had a 12-gauge. I was turkey hunting. That's how it happened.
Starting point is 00:30:43 And they said, okay, that's fine. If you were scared and you thought your life was in danger, you was threatened, you have the right to defend yourself. But now you've got to prove it for your job. going to jail. I said, come up here. I'll show you detail for detail exactly what happened. They even had me set up a tree and act like I had a gun in my hand, and they had the agent go exactly where I shot, and they had to take a picture of it. That's how thorough these guys were. Yeah, they took a picture of everything, but the body was gone.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Now, do you think that since this happened, and they showed up to your property. Have you noticed any kind of different vehicles driving by? Have you seen them again? Have they contact you since then? Or have they let you alone? Oh, every every once in a while I'll see a black dirt that SUV rolling by. Is that uncommon for you live? Well, until that day it was after that. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. Game morning sits down the road during deer season. It ain't during hunt with hunting season kicks in, maybe a quarter of a mile down in a road, be sitting a game warden back in near the fence,
Starting point is 00:32:06 just sitting there, waiting for someone to crack a shot off. See, he came back in in his truck and sit there during gun season, and nobody would be the wiser of what he's going, because they'll just soon be like, oh, that's a game warden. He's looking for somebody poaching. But I know, it was for me. They just, they just were making their statement, hey, you shoot another one, we're going to get you.
Starting point is 00:32:33 That's just how they were saying it. So I had to make sure I had hunting license, made sure I used the right kind of shells, right kind of. I never put a choke tube in my shotgun. But boy, I got to put one in there now. Or a plug. I never put a plug in my gun. You're only allowed three shelves in the shotgun. I think it's a crack of shit.
Starting point is 00:32:58 So I just love, I put all five in there. But now after that, oh, there's a plug in my gun. I only got three shelves in my chamber. Yeah, you play by the books now. Oh, yeah. It sucks. But that's what you get for Boston federal law. And especially when they know you broke federal law and they couldn't prove it.
Starting point is 00:33:21 So, yeah, I really made a mind. I broke federal law and didn't realize that. But hell, I didn't know I was breaking federal off. Pain got close and looked aggressive. So I took him out. Right. And I'll tell you now, I'll tell you now, when I go this year hunting, he gets, he gets him within 20 yards. I'll put him now.
Starting point is 00:33:42 I don't care. Have you had any more problems? Oh, man. Well, see, here's the thing. Here's the twist. I moved. I had to move from my mom's property. That was so bad.
Starting point is 00:33:55 I moved five months. miles down the road, thought, well, man, I love, and I moved here last year, okay, and I thought, man, this is great. No big fuss. I'm going to get to hunt. I ain't going to get bothered. Yeah, it turned about February. Everything was great.
Starting point is 00:34:16 No signs, no sounds. January. I heard that damn howl again. Then I started noticing them, and I actually. started going looking for him. I thought, what the hell? I almost see one. I'm close again.
Starting point is 00:34:32 Then that's when I've seen the two black ones and the red ones. The, or, yeah, it's two black ones, two red ones. Black ones, they're quite peaceful. They just look at me and go on. They don't throw rocks. They don't growl. They don't shake trees.
Starting point is 00:34:51 I don't do none of that stuff. They just, like, slowly back out of the woods. They'll just turn around, walk away. they don't bother me one bit. Now, if I come across the Red One, I don't care if he's out 100 yards, 75 yards, he better be around him because I'm busting off rounds. I try to run them Red Ones off. They leave for a while and come right back.
Starting point is 00:35:19 Now, what's wrong with the Red Ones? What exactly are they doing that makes you want to be so aggressive towards them? I don't like them. I hate them. I blow their heads off. they're just aggressive animals. So they're acting aggressive to you? Oh,
Starting point is 00:35:38 if you guys, if they're in the area and you just have the, through the woods, oh yeah, you're getting a tree thrown at you, you're getting rocks stirred at you, they'll grunt,
Starting point is 00:35:48 they'll shake trees, they'll how, oh, yeah, they just get all test off. But now the black ones, they just turn right around and go away. They don't make it sound hard to. This past,
Starting point is 00:36:00 It's been really off the hook. You remember the recordings I sent you? Yeah, I wanted to ask you, are those recordings similar sounds that you heard? From this property and what I've been hearing. Okay. So I'm guessing it's Bigfoot, but I've been hearing insane damn sounds for the past five years. And starting February of last, this past year is when I started trying to get them on some kind of proof of, hey, man, this is what I'm seeing.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Hey, this is what I'm hearing? Okay, if it's not Bigfoot, then what the hell is it? You tell me what I'm hearing. That's why I sent them to you, because I want you to tell me what the hell did I hear? Right, I know. And I wanted to ask you, I think you said it was one of your first times experiencing Bigfoot activity. you heard the howling. Is that the same kind of howling
Starting point is 00:37:01 that you had recorded and sent to me? Yes. Sound the same, the same length, everything. That's what I heard. And I've been hearing it for five years. Everybody's been telling me, oh, you smoke too much wheat.
Starting point is 00:37:17 You're dumb. You're nuts. Them things don't exist. Or they're always, well, where's the body at? You got a picture of one? So I just made up my mind All right, I'm gonna get it on tape
Starting point is 00:37:30 And all my buddies and everybody around here told me I'm a nut Well, now they can't exactly tell me what I'm hearing Because I play it for them I'm like, hey, stupid, tell me what hell this is in Well, I don't know what that is I was like, well, that's what I've been here And that's what I've been telling you about So a lot of them kind of changed your tune
Starting point is 00:37:51 They don't doubt me as much now because I can't explain what it was. Can you? No, I mean, not with any known animals. I know the first recording you sent me, it sounded like three of them went off. And I told you that I know there's going to be a lot of people once they hear that, they're going to say,
Starting point is 00:38:11 oh, well, that could be cows. But with the second recording, it has the same howl sound, only it's much longer. I mean, I think it lasted about 15, 20 seconds. Well, the reason the first one I sent you didn't last that long That's because I was hauling ass out of the woods I wouldn't stay in there with three of them No, I totally understand that
Starting point is 00:38:34 Not with a single shot 12 gauge Uh-uh, I ain't having that I was gone If you play it back and listen to it You can actually hear the kirkets And the nighttime noises Then you can hear me starting to moose You can hear me starting to run, and I accidentally hit the shut off button.
Starting point is 00:38:59 But I went about to turn around and turn it back on. I'm just busy getting out of the books. I wasn't armed enough to be in there around them. But it's like that sometimes. I've got three months here, not a peep. Then all of a sudden, it all breaks loose. And they'll stay here about three or four days. Then they're gone.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Like they never existed, like they never was here. no signs, no traces of them, nothing. Then it might go three weeks in all here. Might go a week. Might go two weeks. You never know. They just come and go. The ones here do not stay in the same area for long.
Starting point is 00:39:42 But I can always tell when they're here. Because when they're here, I don't have any pictures of big deer on my tree camera. Oh, I might catch a little doe. or something like that. But when I don't hear them, my tree cameras are going off. Big bucks. They seem calm.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Then all of a sudden, I'll get a few pictures, and they just seem like they're just on high alert. And they're gone. That's why I do not like Bigfoot. I am not a fan of Bigfoot. I'd seen them. I believe they exist.
Starting point is 00:40:17 And quite frankly, I can't stand them. They get on my nerves. black one thinks the bad though but still it's running off my game yeah let me ask you the color of the one you killed what color was it red so do you think the other red ones that are being aggressive to you are more aggressive to you maybe possibly for retaliation do you think they were related to the one you killed i seriously doubt that i just don't think they just got bad attitude i just some animals are like that some of them are real common in general, and some of them, they just don't want no party human or anything, and they just don't want you around.
Starting point is 00:41:02 But they'll warn you, and if you don't listen to their warnings, they will try to circle you, and they will come down there, and I honestly think he will try to kill you. Have you seen them together at all, I mean, the black and red ones? Well, yeah, and I don't think they'd go along with each other. I was back in what we call Indian Valley. It's got two hills or two really, really big hills. I mean, it's really beautiful back there. And the reason we call it Indian Valley,
Starting point is 00:41:39 because it just looks like Indians would, you know, have a triberry. It's just got this weird looking, weird selling things. the place. Back there, scouting for turkeys, out into the field, this big, big, nice-looking blastment took off just
Starting point is 00:42:03 as fast as it could run. I'm telling you, this thing's sitting like 34-mile an hour. And it was maybe 200 yards away from me, come right out in open field. Then it got to the other side,
Starting point is 00:42:21 stopped and turned around. It was standing there like it was watching, but it wasn't watching me. It was watching the other tree line. Then I heard the how that here come out the big red one. And it came out looking aggressive. You know, at 200 yards, I don't think that 12-gauge with turkey loading, it would have bothered it. But I busted about five rounds over top its head and ran it back up through the other side of the woods. And that black one, it just kind of stood there and watched for a minute and just disappeared into the woods.
Starting point is 00:43:03 So here, if you see a black one, usually you see the rear end of it because it's already seen you and it's already just trying to get away from them. They don't try to get any aggressive. I've come across them in the woods and camouflage. Lodge. One of them got about 60 yards away from me, and I just moved, and it's seen me, and it just turned around, went right back out of the woods, same way it came. Didn't scream, didn't hoop, didn't hollered, didn't do none of that. Now, if it would have been the big red one, he will at least straight a rock, yelled, scream, or try to get closer, or I've noticed that it'll swing around and try to come in behind me. I've had one of them do that, and I've shot at it.
Starting point is 00:43:48 So let me ask you about the property. Do you think there's something that's attracting these things to your property? Is it the kind of property that they could disguise? Like the people. Okay. This property and the neighboring property, there's been no hunting, no fishing, no nothing. There is a big monster lake back there too. and two small ponds.
Starting point is 00:44:20 And there's absolutely no hunting. I'm the only one's allowed to hunt it. I'm the only one's got permission to be on it. Now, on the other side of the property, the guy lets some rabbit hunters come in there in January and February and turn their dogs loose and do rabbit hunt. But other than that, it's absolutely no hunting.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Guy don't like guns. He don't care if I hunt. but most of the time I got used to crossbow over a compound bow he gets a little upset for me using 12 goods do you know if there's been any other sightings in that area other than yourself has anybody else reported seeing these things well there's a guy that lives down the road he came back here I don't know about three months ago
Starting point is 00:45:10 and started asking kind of weird questions like man have you ever seen anything of wood you couldn't And I looked at him, I said, I know exactly what you mean. It's big, and it walks on two legs like a human, huh? And he goes, you've seen it? Nah, yeah, I've shot out a couple times. And he asked me what I thought it was, and I told him. I was like, that's what it is.
Starting point is 00:45:34 It gets too close, blow its head off. Don't tell nobody you did it. Exactly what I told him. Well, do you think that if you were to kill another one or somebody else were to kill one, Do you think that these things could turn on you quicker than they did the first time? I mean, the first time you heard it making a bunch of noise up at the top of the hill, but do you think that's next time that could be a little bit of a different story? Could be.
Starting point is 00:46:01 Especially if there's more than one and they see you do it or they know you've done it. Yeah, I'd say the rest of them would come off the hill and help the other one out, especially if you don't get it right off. If it makes a wounded animal sound, oh yeah, they'd be right on you. I wouldn't doubt that one bit. But the one I shot and killed, he didn't make a sound. He was dead before he hit the ground. There was no life in him.
Starting point is 00:46:29 So did I hit that trigger. He went straight back and didn't even move. I didn't even see him breathe after that. How far is the property that you're on now compared to the property you killed the Bigfoot on? Both the same. Maybe bigger here, actually. See, here's the thing. We get a highway that is, I don't know, maybe a mile from here, from exactly where I'm at right now.
Starting point is 00:47:02 But there's a small creek that runs down through there, and down on the other side of the property are these great big tunnels that the creek flows through. Then it dumps out into the higher river. and that is restricted property. If you get caught on that property, you will go to jail because a plant owns the property and it's all blocked off. The only way that you could go in and out of that property is through them tunnels.
Starting point is 00:47:38 And them tunnels are not barricaded whatsoever. You just walk right through it. They're huge. So I actually think when hunting season, and picks off around here. Them animals cross the neighbor's property into my property.
Starting point is 00:47:55 I sent they go down in the bottom of that creek bed and I think they're in little assholes follow that creek bed all the way out through them tunnels and go to property that is unreachable to anybody. I mean, it's not guarded,
Starting point is 00:48:12 but you went climbing that six or that tens of sand with a razor wire on it. And all I say it is is woods. thick, heavy woods, and it really leads right out to their higher river. But the property that you shot the Bigfoot on is different than the property you live on now, right? There's a difference? Yeah, like it's not the same property, right?
Starting point is 00:48:40 Right, it's not the same property. So how far is the property? I see my mom's house maybe five miles per day. I can walk from here to my mom's house and never touch a rib. So basically what I'm saying is these Sasquatch that you're seeing on the property now very well could be the same ones from your mom's property. Oh yeah, easy. They'd go right through the woods and never be seen.
Starting point is 00:49:13 It's that thick. The only way to catch them is to be setting right there as they crawl. You just got to get in between where they're coming from and where they're going. If you can do that, you'll come across them every time. But who's to say they don't take different ways in and out? I've never personally tried to do that. But I think if somebody would find that pattern, they could get up place and personal with Bigfoot every single time. I wouldn't advise it because you never know when you come across that red one.
Starting point is 00:49:49 are you open to having somebody come onto your property and research these things well yes and no me personally is they would wait until i get my deer tag sold after that i don't care they come and research it heck all of them take them back there and show them exactly where i've been seeing them where i've been seeing them at I'll actually take them back here and show them where they cross. Oh yeah, I found out. They like running the telephone wire. How'd you find that out? That's where they've been crossing at the most. That's where I see them at the most.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Okay, you know how telephone poles and wires run through the woods, and they always keep that mode, but it always grows real high with weeds. Right. They like running that. that's where I've been seeing them at the most way back here in the back the farthest part of the property that is that my basically my landlord owns where you know I got full permission to be the back farthest property is where I see them the most they love we're running in power lines for some reason can't figure it out by but that's where I's my guess I've heard that theory before and a lot of people say that the power lines for some reason I can't figure it out by but that's where I'm my guess I've heard that theory before and a lot of people say that the power Power lines are easier for travel. Yeah, yeah. I've heard that a lot, actually.
Starting point is 00:51:25 See, I've never heard that. See, people who've got their understanding is I'm new to this big foot thing. You know, I've been seeing them. I know what they look like. You know, I've just been, I call it unfortunate the time across them. It does. They're pain. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:43 I mean, some people say that they think that they walk the power lines because it's easier to travel from one place to another. What would you say to that? Well, here we got some big monster deer trails that cut right up to the middle of it. So, yeah, I'd say it'd be an easier way to travel. Have you ever heard of the woo? The woo. Just by your response, I know you haven't heard of it.
Starting point is 00:52:13 So let me just tell you. Yeah, I'm sitting there trying to think, because you got to understand, I'm new to a lot of of this. Right. And so I, and I didn't think you would ever hear about this since you're new. I'll tell you, it's called the woo factor. That's what they call it. And there's people out there that claim that they have seen Bigfoot and it will disappear right in front of them or it will mind speak with them. What would, what do you think about that idea? Because it sounds like you, to me, it sounds like you encountered a very much flesh and blood creature. But do you think, or have you ever noticed anything peculiar about them that would make you say maybe they do have some kind of abilities that are more supernatural?
Starting point is 00:53:02 I've never had one disappear like that in an open field or an open timber. But I tell you why, they can disappear real quick and thick timber. Like if it's real, real thick and heavy, it's like they disappear in front of you. So I can kind of understand what they're talking about there. But as far as the mind factor, no, they're just animals. They're just some kind of weird North American guerrilla. That's all they are. They ain't nothing special.
Starting point is 00:53:35 They don't have magical powers. And you're just idiots trying to tell people that. They're just people that tries to build up the big foot to make it really unbelievable. But yeah, they can disappear quick. It don't take them long to disdemeanor. here in the woods. I got you. Yeah, no, I don't know how I feel about all that stuff. I mean, I've heard different theories and stories and stuff like that. And, you know, that's one thing is
Starting point is 00:54:00 we live in a very strange and peculiar world. And there's a lot of people to see a lot of crazy things. And I've heard of people who were in the whole flesh and blood camp where they believe it's a flesh and blood creature. And they actually change and they go over to another side of the whole thing. And they say, well, maybe it is some kind of supernatural creature because of something they experienced. But as far as you've experienced, you've only experienced something that resembles animal-like behavior. I tell you what I think is weird about them.
Starting point is 00:54:32 I don't know if it's the coyotes following them or they are the coyote or how can I say? I'm not sure if they follow the coyote packs or the coyote packs follow them. That's another way I can tell to run this property. because coyotes get nuts. 24-7 all night long, you'll hear coyotes going off. Then you'll hear them loud, loud, loud, long hows like I sent you. So you'll hear the coyotes go out. Since we're on the radio, can you play that long house?
Starting point is 00:55:09 That way everybody else can hear what I'm hearing. That way everybody don't think I'm crazy? Yeah, absolutely. I'll play the first clip that you sent me that sounded like it had three different vocalizations going on. at the same time. Okay, that was the first one, and then you sent me the second one, which was the clip of just one howl that was going on for, what, 15, 20 seconds. So have a listen to this.
Starting point is 00:56:08 So with that howling noise, did you hear that howling noise before or after coyotes? Well, sometimes, well, my mom's truck, they asked when I really noticed the coyotes. because you'd hear the long how and you could literally go one, two, three, four, five. Then on the other side of the hill,
Starting point is 00:56:36 even sometimes clear across the road, a whole gigantic pack of coyotes will just bust out. So I really don't know. They could be communicating, looking for food, or they could be just opportunists. I've heard different stories where
Starting point is 00:56:56 I've heard people say that they found dead coyotes where the necks were snapped, but they weren't eaten. They were just killed. And people think that maybe coyotes are actually a nuisance to Bigfoot creatures. What would you say to that? What do you think? Well, I would have to say either they get along or they hate each other. It's one or the other.
Starting point is 00:57:25 There ain't no happy meeting on this one. because I don't know if the Bigfoot's chasing the coyotes down and trying to kill him or is the coyotes just following Bigfoot thinking he's going to kill something so they can sneak up and eat it or they could just
Starting point is 00:57:43 one of them could be stealing from each other taking the other one out of course if I was Bigfoot and I was in the woods and some damn dogs tried to steal my food I drew a snap for next too so I totally can see Bigfoot doing that. I can totally see Bigfoot being very, very
Starting point is 00:58:03 territory or all over his food. See, we've got a bunch of cats here. And you got cats at your house? Yeah. Okay. Go in your refrigerator, take a little piece
Starting point is 00:58:17 of blund and throw it down in between two cats and watch them growl and miss at each other. Right. That I mean, it could be several different ways that could go. but the only way to truly know is get somebody in the tree stand, get them in camouflage and help the gun something like that happens right in front
Starting point is 00:58:41 and they can record it. That's the only way to tell. Yeah, I've also heard of people saying they find coyote bodies, you know, neck snapped or something like that up in trees. Like they'll be stuffed into a wire of a tree or something like that. And that makes you wonder, you know, has it gets a get. We got a healthy, healthy coyote around here. And I have never seen one in the tree. I've never seen one dead.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Well, I've seen them dead with a gun with a bullet hole. Because in the state of Ohio, the coyotes is considered a nuisance animal. Yeah, you can go in the woods and kill 1,500 coyotes a day and the game morning is shake your hand and take you through your effort. He don't even care if you got a hunting license. But long as you can prove you're shooting coyotes, shoot. Game board would say, well, you just have a nice night then and leave. Won't even bother you.
Starting point is 00:59:47 Or if you go out in the woods, you can shoot a wild boar. Game ward wouldn't bother you. Shoot anything else. He'll put you in jail every single time. But that is two animals that that game word hates the most. they call them nuisance animals and they say blow them away don't care don't call us and tell us about it i understand that in pa that's the same thing i i don't think there is a cap limit on how many you can kill in pa i think it's just if you see it and you can shoot it and you want to shoot it go ahead
Starting point is 01:00:21 as far as i understand i mean i know my mother-in-law uh her and her husband had a pretty big piece a property and he used to tell me that anytime I wanted to come up and just sit in a tree stand or something like that and just pop them off as they come over the ridge at night to feel free to do so oh yeah I had a buddy one time we he was out on the back right and he had a 20 he had a 22 rifle just in his car and he had a loaded little 22 marlin 10 round 10 round gun nothing special he had some coyotes around front of hand he rolled down the window real quick quick and shot two of them. And he didn't even have the damn game warden was parked right around the
Starting point is 01:01:02 route from him out on the back road. And when the game warden heard him shoot, game warden pulled up and he said, well, you're going to jail, shooting from a gun, poaching. But, and then he said, officer, I was only shooting coyotes. I didn't think him mattered. And the gay warden said, prove it to me. He said, well, I got two laying right there dead, sir.
Starting point is 01:01:22 And the game warden walked over and expected them. So, yep, them were two coyotes. Thank you for your help. You have a nice day. I got right back in his truck. I gave him, word him all times. I took it. But once he found out that he was on shooting coyotes,
Starting point is 01:01:38 same morning, let him go. Said, don't do that again. Have a nice day. Got to go. Don't even care. So let me ask you about something else that I just thought of. A lot of people that do Bigfoot research, where they go out in the woods and they research,
Starting point is 01:01:57 area is trying to find these things, they do something called gifting where they will leave either food or sometimes marbles in a certain pattern on a log or something like that. And it's basically they're trying to communicate with these things. And people say that sometimes they'll come back and the marbles are moved in different positions or the food is taken and in its place. Like I just heard, I believe it was on Sasquatch Chronicles this past week's show. the guy said that he was hunting and he left some crackers on, I believe it was a log, and he came back the next day. He wasn't trying to feed anything. He just was leaving them there because he forgot him there. The next day he came back and the crackers were gone and in its place
Starting point is 01:02:45 was some of those naturally grown onions set on top of the log like it was giving food back or something like that. What do you think about all that? I mean, have you ever heard of anybody doing that? No. I tell you what, my mom had, I don't know or understand why she does it, but she buys these great big boxes of peach. And some of them were starting to go bad, so I asked them for her because I start getting ready for deer season, about June, well, about July.
Starting point is 01:03:21 And I decided to go down there, and I put three, peaches shaped into a triangle in three different spots and overnight of all the peaches were gone including the seeds
Starting point is 01:03:39 the seeds wasn't even left on the ground and you remember that picture of that blur I sent you? Yeah. Okay that's when that blur picked, that's when that dark shaped outline of a up walking
Starting point is 01:03:55 figure appeared in front of my tree camera and all the peaches for God, not even the seeds. And I didn't notice anything whatsoever out of place, so I'd have to say no. Okay. So when you, I hate to keep coming back in backtracking here, but... That's fine, that's fine. I want to ask you, when you dropped this thing,
Starting point is 01:04:24 when you killed this thing, you went over to it, what did it smell like? Hmm. I'm trying to think of a polite way to say it, because I know you got your radio, so. Well, I would have to say a wet, robin dog crossed with a stunk. It did stink to high heaven. That's exactly what a lot of people describe it as. And I tell you what, I never smell a smell like that, really. it had a weird well imagine that you know how they say a copperhead smells like a cucumber no i've never heard of that well if you're in the woods a lot and right after it rains
Starting point is 01:05:24 if you smell kind of a cucumberly smell usually there's a copperhead that ain't too far away Oh, see, I didn't know that. It's good to know. And it kind of smelt like that with a stunk and a rotting meat. You put all that together, and I'd say that would just about do it. I find that really interesting because I hear a lot of different people's stories of their encounters, and a lot of people describe it what you said with the whole wet dog and skunk smell. A lot of people say that. I find that interesting.
Starting point is 01:06:02 That's a common description pretty much everywhere. It's something you would definitely never smell again. Well, personally for me, I've never smelled that smell again, but I tell you what, it's distinctly stuck in the back of my mind. Because if I ever smell that smell again, I know exactly what's coming after me and I know what to throw at it. And if I ain't got that kind of firepower with me, Oh, I'm running.
Starting point is 01:06:34 I'm getting out of there. Yeah, around here, we don't go in the woods without a gun. That's just like retarded. That's like giving an eight-year-old hen-capped a gun and say, here, it's like to go outside and play with it. That's about how dumb that could be. Yeah, whenever I would go in the woods and stuff, hiking around, I always had a gun on me.
Starting point is 01:06:55 I always said it to be for, I carry a gun on me for two reasons. Snakes and crazy people, because sometimes you run into crazy people out there and you don't want to be out there defenseless. Oh, we don't have crazy people in our woods down here. They're actually smart enough to know if they go in the woods, they won't come out,
Starting point is 01:07:14 and nobody won't give two shits about shooting them. I don't know what it is about Southern Ohio, but we are some territorial samba bitches down here, every damn one of us. We do not like trespassists, and we are not afraid to let people know. We catch you on our property, we will blow your head off.
Starting point is 01:07:33 Some aggressive people down there. I think they put something in the water, but that's just my opinion. Oh, yeah, if I get you trespassing on my property, I'm not a bit afraid to shove a gun barrel on your face. And the first time I'll tell you, look, you're trespassing. You know where you are. You know what you're doing.
Starting point is 01:07:51 If I see you again, I'll just shoot you. Understood. Get. Well, on that bright note, let me ask you before before we get out of here tonight i want to ask you what's your gut tell you when it comes to this whole bigfoot thing you've seen them what do you think they are do you think there some kind of just north american uh ape or do you think that they could be possibly some kind of offshoot of human beings or or what are your thoughts
Starting point is 01:08:23 No, they're more animals and my personal opinion. They're just a unknown species. Just like, I'm not a Bible sumpur by all means. I believe there's a God. I believe there's a hell. I really don't know which place I'm going
Starting point is 01:08:42 and I really don't care. That don't bother me one bit. But I was always told in the Bible, it says that there are creatures on earth that no man have seen and more to come. That's what I've been told. Personally, I never went and looked it up
Starting point is 01:09:04 because me, I could care less. If there's a weird animal it pops up, oh well, glad they found it. Good job. But they're just a weird animal, plain and simple. There's some kind of cross-bredded ape. as all they are. They're not human noise.
Starting point is 01:09:29 They're not half human, half gorilla. I don't believe that one bit. Didn't they find one that was frozen that it actually existed like 100 years ago? I think that was a fake. Oh, in China? Yeah, they got a name for it,
Starting point is 01:09:50 and they said that animal actually existed. and it was an upright walking gorilla type thing. They found it in ice in China. You know, that story escapes me. I must have missed it. Or it could have been a hoax. It's hard to tell with idiots. Yeah, you know, it could have been a hoax.
Starting point is 01:10:13 I mean, I know there's a lot of people out there that, you know, just for fun, whatever reason, they decided to try to do a hoax. I think somebody pays him to do it. I really do. I think people go out there and do hoaxes on purpose just to get people the doubt that they don't exist and it's all a big hucks. But now, they don't tell them, they do exist. They're just a weird, looking, upright gorilla.
Starting point is 01:10:49 That's all they are. They're just simple animals that don't want to be. bothered. Yeah, you know, that's basically the most basic conclusion that I've come to myself. I have told lots of people that I just, I really believe that at the basic root of it, they don't want to be bothered, they live a seclusive lifestyle, and they just want to be left alone. And they're very good at being left alone.
Starting point is 01:11:17 Yeah, they just know how to hidebo. And, you know, there ain't that many of them. our woods are deep our woods is plain a fool so yeah I just think they just tried to hide the best they can
Starting point is 01:11:33 and just every so often somebody has them to walk across the one and so but I believe that they'd kill a human I don't think they're all quite cuddly and flussy and they're not no big teddy bears I'll tell you that
Starting point is 01:11:50 but for my experience the black ones they don't seem so bad. The red ones, tain in the ass. I got you, man. I got you. Well, Brian, I really appreciate you coming on the show tonight. I know people are going to be chatting a lot about this episode. So hopefully you get a chance to tune in and listen to this interview once it airs. Well, how do you do that?
Starting point is 01:12:19 I'll send you a link. You'll be able to listen to it. I'll send you a direct link. Oh, okay. That'd be really cool, man. Absolutely. Absolutely, man. All right, man. Well, you have a good night. And if you have any other things you want to share with me, I mean, keep the audio coming,
Starting point is 01:12:33 shoot me some pictures. If you come across them again, just let me know. Well, my next step is to actually get one on videotape that. You can actually tell what the hell I'm looking at. That's my next goal. But I tell you what, I started in February trying just to get something. and it was a week or so ago that I actually got something on audio. It's almost taking me a whole year just to be able to get some kind of audio of what I'd been hearing.
Starting point is 01:13:11 That way everybody does not think I'm full blown crazy. And that's the audio you sent me. Yes. This past week, this past week or so, oh, they lit it up like a Christmas. tree here. Now, for the last two nights, back to dead silent. Just like they never was even there, just like I never even heard it. Just like I made it up. That's how quiet it is. Do you think that they move from area to area? Is that why you're not hearing that? Oh, I guarantee you that they move from area to area and they don't say in the same place too damn
Starting point is 01:13:49 long. Why they do that? I don't know. Maybe that's why they're so good at hiding. They're not like deer. But I tell you what, I got a dough that I've been feeding. I don't plan on shooting her. Sure, I think she could be sick, but I tell you what, she's one of the most pitifulest, scranniest-ass-dose I've ever seen in my life. I don't know. I'm the All-American, Great White Redneck Deer Killer of all time.
Starting point is 01:14:23 I shoot them all. I don't care if they got horns or not, big ones, little ones. it don't matter to me if it's brown I put them down I don't care I'm filling my freezer but this dough
Starting point is 01:14:35 I tell you what she is so pitiful you just you can see her ribcage pictures I'll send you a picture of her and you can sit there and count this poor little
Starting point is 01:14:45 dough as rib she comes in my seaters in front of my cameras maybe from 10 a.m. to 11 I'll have 15 pictures of the same year.
Starting point is 01:15:01 Then she'll slowly walk away. Then sometimes that right at dark, she'll come in, feed again and leave. Or sometimes she'll pop up about 4.35 o'clock in the morning. And she'll eat for a little bit. Then she just goes away. When I do not have one, just like today, I put the feet out a Saturday night. I just checked my cameras. Let's see.
Starting point is 01:15:36 8 o'clock this morning to pull off my trail cams from my S-D. The picture from my SD card. She never stepped one foot in front of my cameras. So that tells me they're back down here and at home. Or they've already moved out. You only got a three- or four-day window. And that's it. They're gone.
Starting point is 01:16:01 And it's about time for him to leave. Like I said, no coyotes tonight, no house, no screams, no nothing, just like they never even existed. In maybe a week, a month, maybe a month and a half, they'll be right back for about three or four days, gone again. They just come and go, and they never keep the same pattern. I never know when they next Saturday I might have I might be able to hear
Starting point is 01:16:33 or I might see something but other than that nothing so yes they are on the move and they keep moving they don't stay in the same spot twice
Starting point is 01:16:46 gotcha well they well they'll come back to the same spot but they they don't stay long and it's not guaranteed they come back back to that same spot I hear them because I hear them in different parts of the woods.
Starting point is 01:17:01 They're never in the same spot more than two days. If you hear them that night, next day they're gone. They moved to the other hill. Or they might be back at the lake or they might be on the other side of the property. You just never know. But when they're here, I don't get picked on my trail cameras. When they're gone and I don't hear nothing, trail cameras light up. Sounds like there's a correlation for sure.
Starting point is 01:17:30 but I do believe they have a pattern, and if you can figure that pattern out, you will find it. You'll find it every single time if you can find that pattern out. But they got their pattern so complex, it's almost impossible to figure it out. But if you're smart enough to figure it out, like I think I got it down, then, yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:59 But a lot of the Bigfoot researchers, They just go to one area just for a few days and ways. To truly research Bigfoot, and if you really want to find him, get you a piece of property that you know for a fact there's been boot foot activity, go to Walmart, go to Kmart, go wherever, and get you about 10 different tree cameras and put them on deer trails and put out peaches. and you will have a big foot or you will see or have something that you can't explain happen. That's the only way to do it. I got you, man. Well, on that note, I really appreciate you coming on.
Starting point is 01:18:50 Like I said before, oh, that's a problem. If you have any other things you want to share with me, feel free to give me a shout, and I'd be happy to discuss things with you. But I really appreciate it coming on. the night. Oh, no problem, man. It been my pleasure. All right, man. I'll talk to you later. All right, you have a good one. Well, that's the show, everybody.
