It is against the law in B.C. to kill a Sasquatch. If they don't exist how can it be illegal to kill one?

Rene passed away a year or two ago,I heard. I met him at the Richmond R&G while he was placering for lead shot there. He seemed like a fine fellow.:frown:
As to that story, when one sees something that unusual ones mind will often reject the sight and relace it with another image that the mind can cope with. Sometims too, a person will want to see something so badly that thier mind will substitute the object that they seek instead of an ordinary,mundane object. Case in point is the guy in the Okanagan who swore that he saw and filmed Ogopogo AND got Unsolved Mysteries to go for it. I saw the same animal and it was clearly a beaver. A big one but not That big! :roll: :grin: Fred

In Bc other then a few places up north you can`t go 2 miles with out finding a road. There is people driving up these roads with cameras all the time and the only pics of this great beast was taken in 1960!! I myself have been in the bush more then most in 35 years of falling in more places in this prov then i care to remember i have never seen a bigfoot or a track . Would it not take a poulation of what a thousand to maintain a population of sasqwatch .

Hey all.

A few years back, while heading up to the Yukon on a moose hunt, we stopped for the night in Liard Hotsprings. While there we met a really interesting though very eccentric fellow by the name of 'Trapper Ray'. This guy had a million sasquatch stories and had claimed to have seen the 'sasq' many a time during his years there.

Truth or fiction?

I figure anything is possible,

Now this is just my opinion, but I don't think I'd be too quick to call people crazy or liars because they have claimed to have seen a sasquatch during their travels in the wilds of British Columbia. Seems to me that a few reasonably famous British Columbians have put their reputations on the line by reporting they were witnesses to possible sasquatch sightings.


In the early 1950's Clayton Mack, legendary British Columbia grizzly bear hunting guide and client a from California observed a sasquatch on a tidal flat eating sweet grass seeds growing on the plant's roots near the Assek River at the head of the South Bentinck Arm on BC's central coast. Clayton Mack also stated that while at Mud Bay in Dean Channel, he saw a 5 to 6 foot tall sasquatch sticking its head out from behind a tree. Later Mack found evidence of sasquatch peeling and eating bark or sap from a hemlock tree. While on a grizzly bear hunting trip at Kitlope on BC's central coast during June in the late 1940's, Clayton Mack stated that in the night a sasquatch howled at a broken window in an old house they were camped at. Next morning guide and client found large human-like tracks in the gravel. Clayton Mack founds evidence that the sasquatch tried to destroy its own tracks.

While commercial fishing at Jacobsen Bay 15 miles west of Bella Coola in the late '40s, Clayton Mack reported that he saw a buckskin colored sasquatch from his boat as it digging or lifting rocks, and then watched as it walked along beach and up into the timber.

Edited to add:

In October 1969, famous rancher and big-game guide Pan Phillips watched a brown sasquatch through telescopic sight for 10 minutes as it sat by snowhole (apparently its home) at edge of glacier at 6,000 ft.

Man thats funny how you mention Clayton Mack because Grizzlies and White Guys is my favorite book. I just got back from a fishing trip in Bella Coola and our guide a native fella from the area said that he was married to Claytons daughter. Needless to say I heard a lot of good stories along the 6 day charter.

I lived in Ft. Nelson for a few years so we were up to the springs alot....Ol ray is a great guy but also a great businessman if you think about it. By the way Ray no longer owns the lodge wich is too bad cause it was a great place to stay.

[/quote]I met this fellow back in 1973-4 when I was in Quesnel. He was a well known local guide and I found him to be totally believable. I was fascinated by his tough and rugged character. He was not known for BS stories or for that matter BSing.

Thanks, Chuck. You are lucky to have met Pan Phillips.

For those that have not heard of Panhandle "Pan" Phillips, he was the partner of famous Vanderhoof/Quesnel area cattle rancher and author Rich Hobson. Rich has written detailed accounts of his life and journeys in three books: The Grass Beyond The Mountains, Nothing Too Good For A Cowboy, and Rancher Takes A Wife, which are all available for purchase at local book stores.

I met a guy on the west side of Harrison Lake once that swore the area was inhabbited by Sasquatch. He could do an imitation of a what he siad was a Sasquatch call that made my hair stand up on end. It scared the hell out of me. Come to think about it.... I'm not sure what was scarier, hunting in an area where there was apparently a Sasquatch or hunting in an area where there was a guy stealth enough to see one on a regular basis. Anyways, I have the usual doubts but I am willing to keep an open mind. The world has not been completely discovered or understood yet.

Hey Bushman! I also got to meet a character named "Hap Bowden", also a big game guide from up that way who told me he watched one cross a clear-cut that had a lot of small stuff lying down. Somewhere near Abhu, between Quesnel & PG. Anyway he told me they were glassing for moose in the evening and it came out of the bush and crossed the clear-cut in 10 minutes where they took over half an hour doing the same thing earlier that day.

Hey Chuck:

I don't doubt for a minute that Hap Bowden told you he saw what may have been a sasquatch crossing a clear-cut.

As I'm sure you already know, if people are treated with some degree of respect and understanding they will generally open up and talk about certain strange and/or unexplainable things that they may have seen while in the wilds.

Over the years I have heard some mighty strange sasquatch stories from some very credible and reputable ranchers, loggers and others that make their livings up in the northern woods.

My guess is that if something like a sasquatch—that called the bush its home and knew it extremely well—wanted to stay hidden from humans, there wouldn't be too much trouble accomplishing what we consider the impossible.

I think that if sasquatch does indeed exist, the damned things are a heck of a lot smarter than we give them credit for being.

Like most people I remain sceptical in their existance..with that being said I have also heard vocalizations in the bush up here that cannot be explained.

One of my hunting partners swears he saw one years ago in the Sukunka Valley, and he is the type not to embellish stories either.

I have also never seen a wolverine in the wild..so not seeing a bigfoot doesn't seem all that strange to me.

I know by posting this I risk the ridicule of some..but I have met and hunted and fished with Clayton Mack spent time aboard his boat and he aboard mine, we have slept on the beaches of Kwatna bay near Graveyard Island and Restoration Bay.I have listened by firelight to his stories of Sasquatch and all the encounters he had.When Clayton told you to put down your line there are chicken halibut there...they were there..or that the water we wer on only had barn doors.. or that at a certain creek there were the biggest grizzlies...all was true.Clayton believed in sasquatch untill his final day...while in hospital visiting Clayton he spoke about sasquatch..he also had me care for his hunting albums of John Wayne and other celebrity hunters...

Clayton was a fine man, not a bs'r I dont think the books do him justice in many ways.Clayton asked me if I believed in black bears ? I said yes...he then asked my IF I had ever found a dead black bear in the woods in my 25 years of hunting hiking fishing guiding...I said no.....You believe they live and die but have never found a dead bear as evidence of their existence.....

Do sasquatch exist ??? I have never seen one..I have seen strange things and heard strange things very strange things,over the 30 plus years in the woods...I have an open mind and dont discount anything , its only been what since the late 60's early 70's that we have found the celocanth a fish that was thought to be extinct for thousands of years..now hundreds of specimins have been caught....

Yes some people may be strange, act stranger, and believe totally wild ideas.....I havnt met these others..Pan Phillips was also NOT known to be a BULLSHITTER...believe what YOU may but ridicule of others beliefs doesnt add much to the discussion or evidence...my .02 cents...

Steven:

Thanks for taking the bold step forward and speaking about what was on your mind. It was sure good to hear your side of things.
Although I never had the chance to meet Clayton Mack, I did spend a good number of years commercial fishing for salmon and halibut up in his neck of the woods.
I have spoken with many credible and upstanding people—as well as a few nutty attention seekers—who have claimed to have seen what they believed was a sasquatch.
Once you learn a few things about these elusive creatures it's generally fairly easy to weed out the bulls++tters.
For the life of me though, I just can't see why any of these credible people would have dreamed up their possible sasquatch sighting stories and risked a mountain of ribbing and ridicule from others.
In any case, it seems that these sasquatch will remain a mystery until one turns up dead.

MAN IS THIS FOR REAL?!?!?! Some of the best cougar hunters and wolf trappers that have ever lived and died would be p*ssin themselves right now if they could see that guys website and some of the comments that go with it. Since the beginning guys have been walking, driving, and sledding no mans land in this province for cats and wolves etc. How many tracks, kills, and remains have they found?! None/squat period. Tracks in the snow don't lie. If they truly did exist they'd be travelling/migrating (as single and family groups), hunting, living, and dying just as the wild animals in this province have done since the beginning. On the winter ranges where deer, moose, and elk are you don't see their tracks. The only tracks being made are wherever buddy from PG goes with his sasq. shaped snow shoes and bigfoot shaped gumboots. Hey that's my .02 cents.

01-09-2007, 03:19 PM
actually jmac..footprints have been found..both "Sasquatch and Yeti " tracks found in the highest Himalayas by seasoned sherpas and I believe the guys name was HILLARY..thats SIR Edmund Hillary....tracks that could not be identiefied, same goes here in BC and Oregon...some even show signs of dermal ridges, one set had an injury etc etc...

Browning boy..I know what Clayton said about their vocalizations...however Im not sure that i want to subjest my self to the incredulity and comments and tones..reflected by the nay sayers.

I repeat...I have not seen one however I am open to the possibility they exist.....I am not in any position to call Clayton a liar or bullshitter or????

He spent over 50 years in the most remote innacessable enviroment in Canada....and he believed....and he had nothying to prove or gain and a hell of a lot to lose by even speaking up...

Believe or not..but ridiculing those that do or have had experiences is not helping..

Hey srupp no disrespect to yourself, Clayton Mack and or Sir Hillary. On my part this ain't gonna be a pissin match! Just good ole discussion! IMO in order for there to be a sustainable population in this day and age (or any other) I think there'd be a lot more sign than 1 or 2 tracks from here to Oregon to the Himalayas. Hey I haven't spent the last 50 years of my life in the bush only the last 12 averaging 250 plus days a year (yup no guff) and hey I know I haven't obviously seen or know it all. However, these are the questions/points I ask myself?! Recruitment is obviously vital to any species existing for generations, so where's Gramma and Grandpa, Mom and Dad and their offspring? How do they hunt? What do they eat? Where do they summer? Where do they winter? Where's the bones/remains? How come there hasn't been any hit on the highway? Hit By a train? Shot? Found delirious, deathly ill/sick? I ask myself this, cause every animal we know we have fits the mold and the questions can be answered!
P.S. I know a lot of seasoned climbers that don't know squat when it comes to wild animals and tracks. They know a lot about carabiners and rope IMO. A big ole aged hind foot of a bear track in the snow or mud could be Bigfoot or the Yeti. I noticed how one never hears of anyone finding multiple tracks in a row?! It's always "one" track. I've chased a few deer, moose, elk, cats, wolves, bears, and dogs in snow and dirt and they always leave a lot more than "one" track!

jmac no pissin match here bro...I think all your points are valid and ones I too consider...
There have been lots of er "sightings " by police, drs, housewifes , laywers etc etc etc.....hmmm are laywers ever credible?? however there have been lots of tracks and sightings ....some from questionable folks however even a drug dopie MAY have seen something.....and lots of tracks ....have some been fake..absolutley..but all it takes is one to be legitiamate to prove their existence and I do have problems with 100% of every sighting and 100% of every track to be intentional fraud or accidental missidentification..

These sightings have been going on for hundreds of years with first nations...superstition or???

And Jmac you spend as much time as perhaps I do or certainly most others on this site each year out in the wilds....

in all that time how many dead black bears have you found ???s Clayton said just cuz you didnt find them certainly doesnt prove they dont exist.

I havnt followed Sasquatch happenings at all...I just listened to Clayton..and my own experinces and the odd show on Tv.

Do I personally believe ? I remain open with many of the same questions as do you....all I know is sure hope to hell IF they exist IM not lucky enough to see one....lol....

Good discussion exellent points you make..

Steven, I've actually found 3 dead bears on seperate occasions. 2 were cubs that wolves had killed. (Yes wolves will kill cubs) The wolf scat on the road was full of their hair as well. I found a big ole lunker bear skull and spine with hair stuck in the vegetation in no mans land once too. You're right though I haven't found a lot. I've found a few dead bears after a loud bang however LOL!

Browningboy:

I have had several ear-witnesses (including some very close friends and hunting partners) tell me that the unidentified sounds they heard could be best described as a screaming roar with incredible volume. One of them even stated that the sounds he heard would have been impossible for any human or animal to duplicate without the assistance on a large amplifier.

Although sasquatch have also been suspected of making wood-knocking sounds on trees (possible communication) ape-like whooping sounds, unintelligible human-like chattering or mumbling and a long, almost wolf-like howling, the loud screaming roars seem to be meant as a deterrent to approaching humans. And, from what I've heard from many witnesses is that it generally works.

As to whether or not you and your hunting companions possibly heard a sasquatch up in the Nahatlatch Valley, you'll have to be the judge of that one once you carefully use the process of elimination.

JMac:


Recruitment is obviously vital to any species existing for generations, so where's Gramma and Grandpa, Mom and Dad and their offspring?

While I certainly don't claim to have all the answers on the sasquatch mystery, I have been quietly walking around in the bush for nearly 50 years with my eyes and mind open. I'll share a little of what I have learned below.

There have been several reports from witnesses that have claimed to have observed family units of sasquatch. One of the more famous incidents can be read here:
The Albert Ostman story:

http://home.clara.net/rfthomas/classics/ostman.html


How do they hunt? What do they eat?

One of the strangest stories I heard was from a seasoned trapper up north.
Seems he ran across a place where something was jumping from above on to the backs of deer and moose using a game trail. Whatever was jumping on to the backs of the unsuspecting animals was using small trees along the game trail to slow the running animals. At the bottom of the hill the trapper found remnants of many deer and moose with broken necks.

As near as can be estimated, sasquatch appears to be an opportunist omnivore that gathers its food from many different sources. Here's a few possible examples: five species of salmon, clams and mussels( both fresh and saltwater), cray fish, cattails, blackberries, sedge grasses, salmon berries, wild blueberries, thimble berries, huckleberries, mountain cranberries, mushrooms, insects like ants and grubs, tree bark, leaves and tender shoots of trees in spring, grubs, tree bark, pine and spruce needles, plant roots, wild nuts, mosses, aquatic plants, rodents, rabbits, mosses, mushrooms, frogs, moose, elk, bears, deer, rabbits, smaller fish, and anything else it could scavenge in its travels.


Where do they summer? Where do they winter?

First Nations people believe sasquatch is territorial and favours certain areas much like any other wild animal. I guess one could say that sasquatch are where you find them. As with moose, elk, deer, bears and birds, each seems to favour certain habitats during the seasons.

Sasquatch are also thought to migrate and follow available seasonal food sources.

First Nations people also claimed that sasquatch would utilize holes in the ground or caves during the winter months.


Where's the bones/remains?

If they seek remote and hidden places when they die naturally (like bears do) it's doubtful we will ever find remains of sasquatch. If they bury their dead as humans do, it's even less likely.


How come there hasn't been any hit on the highway? Hit By a train? Shot?

There has been several documented reports of each incident you mention but yet no body has ever turned up.

I'll go along with you on that point as one would suspect something should have turned up by now.


I noticed how one never hears of anyone finding multiple tracks in a row?! It's always "one" track.

You are dead wrong on that one. Read the following reports with photos:
Tracks in the snow:
http://home.clara.net/rfthomas/classics/snow.html
http://home.clara.net/rfthomas/bf_prints.html

All in all I have to say that I approach the subject of sasquatch with an open mind. However, until you see something with your own eyes it's extremely hard to believe that a creature reported to be a large as sasquatch could stay hidden from modern science for so many years. As I mentioned before, what's needed is a dead one to prove they exist.

Best thing to do is pretend you never saw nothing....Erase it form your mind. Best option by far...:smile:

Sasquatch and Ogopogo? Are they real or are they a figment of someone's imagination? Sometimes the mind does strange things. Only time will tell. How long have these sightings been happening? I know some of the so called sightings have just been people trying to make a fast buck. Maybe some of the more honest ones mentioned here really did see something. Makes me want to get a bigger gun.

However, there are lots of UFO sightings.....
