1
00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:05.919
All right, let's try the Joe
Rogan intro here three two one, Okay,

2
00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:10.679
we're live and we've got Rodney on
the phone. Rodney is in what

3
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:14.119
park, Texas? You live in? Rodney, I'm north these Texas.

4
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:17.920
I'm actually in Mineola, Texas,
where I hunt, where I hang my

5
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.239
hat. But uh, in an
hour, I can be in Louisiana,

6
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:26.839
Arkansas or Oklahoma. So I'm real
close. Rodney is Uh. I got

7
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:29.600
in touch with Rodney because I know
a little bit, just a little bit

8
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:32.240
about what they do, and I
wanted to get him one here. So

9
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.640
Rodney, thanks for coming on.
Why don't you just take a minute and

10
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:39.960
tell us about the group of guys
that you have that y'all go out and

11
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:44.079
hunt for these things and try to
gather information on them. Can you spend

12
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:47.920
a few minutes talking about that?
Yeah? Absolutely, You know the group

13
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:53.479
of guys which you know, we
do our expeditions and our hunts, you

14
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:57.799
say, you know, we've been
together going on better than twenty years,

15
00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.960
a lot of us. You know. Of course, we've got some new

16
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.719
guys that come aboard, and you
know, we got to school them and

17
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:07.040
educate them on things they don't know
and you know, for your basic outdoors

18
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:11.359
like myself twenty years ago, I
walked through the woods and you know,

19
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:17.040
I didn't recognize tree breaks and twists
and formation. You don't walk up you

20
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:21.159
know, never in a million years
thought that we had anything like that,

21
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:25.040
especially down here where I lived.
And I was just mesmerized by it.

22
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:29.640
Once I got out with active researchers
and found out that we got them right

23
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:30.840
here. I don't have to go
to British Columbia, I don't have to

24
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.599
go to Pacific Northwest. I mean, we've got them right here. What

25
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.680
got me involved with it in the
very beginning was it? And I think

26
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:44.359
in the seventy two I believe it
was the legend of Creek come out and

27
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:48.400
being right there in Falk, Arkansas
is the hawk skipping a jump for us.

28
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:53.040
So actually I started sitting sending out
of emails and stuff, and actually

29
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:57.280
Smoky crabtreating the movie that it was
based on, put me in touch with

30
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:02.159
the President and direct for TBRC.
I was just I was like a kid

31
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:05.480
in a candy story. He's like, Wow, there's a big Foot group

32
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:09.439
out here and they're meeting this weekend
twenty miles from me. I'm gonna be

33
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:13.520
there, me le to say.
I jumped aboard right then, and I

34
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.439
learned a lot from a lot of
those guys, and then several of them

35
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:19.800
went out on their own, and
we kind of went out on our own

36
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:23.080
independent research. You know. All
the politics were not that they were wrong,

37
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.319
it just didn't fit my my billet
sell at the time. You know,

38
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.560
I was wanting to learn more about
the creature itself and the tabots and

39
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:35.400
and anything. I was like a
sponge man. I was like anything I

40
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.680
could take, and I was taken
in and I started, you know,

41
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.639
over the course over a period of
time, you know, you start developing

42
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.479
fundamental skill as far as what to
look for in the seasons. And they

43
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:51.360
are migratory type creatures and they do, you know, move, they do

44
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:55.120
move with the vegetation in the animals
and the game trails. And a group

45
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:59.360
of guys I'm with now, you
know, you know, they offered me

46
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:04.639
a spot membershiping their group many many
years back, and we've been together ever

47
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.520
since. It's like my primary family. I talked to them just about wanting

48
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:12.520
to drew my own family, you
know, so well, let me stop

49
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:14.719
you just real quick and ask a
question. I hope you don't mind me

50
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:19.000
interrupting every once in a while.
But so you you leaped off into this

51
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.840
topic, not because of an encounter
or anything you had as a kid,

52
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:27.039
but you you saw some you saw
the Boggy Creek Monster movie. You just

53
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.439
got real interested in it and that's
how you got started in it, right.

54
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.360
Well, yes, and then my
grandmother, you know, of course

55
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:37.479
growing up as a child, My
grandmother grew up and was Nakodochius, Texas,

56
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.680
and she had an encounter as a
younger girl. And of course I

57
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:45.439
heard that same story over and over
for you know, eleven and twelve years

58
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:47.919
of my life, and it's like
I couldn't hear enough times, you know,

59
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:52.319
I always had to hear it.
So I always had that, you

60
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.400
know, that question marking the back
of my head. You know, that

61
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.280
would be so you know, be
so cool to you know, to actually

62
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:02.240
see one. And you know,
I'm a quest in my life, I

63
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:06.719
ever got the opportunity that I would
be part of something like that, in

64
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.039
hopes it would be blessed one day
to see one of these creatures. And

65
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:15.599
you know, He's blessed me several
times through the past, and you know,

66
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.240
I never I would give it up
for anything, So I guess my

67
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:23.000
grandmother initially planned a feed in me. And then of course the movie.

68
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:27.160
And I still watch that movie today. If it comes on, I'll watch

69
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.680
it even I got the DVD.
It's just one of the things. It

70
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.480
just it just keeps me on aginal
seat, and it just you know,

71
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.439
now that I know more about it, and it's not too far fetch.

72
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:39.360
I mean, you know, of
course you got you nonbelievers, and they're

73
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:43.279
welcome to their they're welcome to their
opinion. And you know, it's like

74
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.319
people come up to me all the
time. We're you know, in the

75
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.160
b food community. Year under every
spirit and organization, no matter what you

76
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:54.199
do, what you say, or
whatever didnce you produce would be tracked blood

77
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:57.920
hair. They just want a body. And I'm sure the government's already got

78
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:00.240
several, you know, no doubt
in my mind on the But you know,

79
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:02.319
they say, well, can you
prove to me? There's how can

80
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:04.240
you proved to me? There is? I said, how can proved to

81
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:09.279
me? There's not two thousand titans
plus a year, even with you know,

82
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:13.800
police officers and dash cams and you
know, not everybody's drinking and not

83
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.279
everybody's on drugs. I mean,
it's a big primate. It's put here

84
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.279
for a reason. For what that
is, we don't know, but it's

85
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:23.160
here. I'm just curious. What
did your grandmother call them? Now?

86
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:25.560
She called them, she call them
big foot, She called them a big

87
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:31.680
foot. Now, that's usually all
my friends from a Mississippy way that they

88
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.480
call them that, they call them
bookish, your older generation, for the

89
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:40.000
most part, they'd call them.
They'd call them boogish. And of course,

90
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:44.240
you know a lot of your Native
Americans and stuff. We had a

91
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.560
few friends that actually grew up on
the reservations. They would, you know,

92
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.240
they call them that. They call
them the tall one and shadows in

93
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:54.000
the forest and they just all sorts
of tall one was probably the most popular.

94
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:56.800
And yeah, my memal she huk
all it the big foot, and

95
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:00.360
that's what her daddy told her it
was because she kept asking. It was

96
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.079
because of course, there wasn't any
talk back in my oh lord, this

97
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:06.000
would have been back in my forties, so there wasn't any talk of a

98
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:12.240
big foot or you know, lots
of the crazy woman screaming in the woods

99
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.959
again kind of where they got it. From and of course a crazy woman

100
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:19.519
was a big foot screaming in the
wood doing this thing. You just wasn't

101
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:23.439
you know what the popularity of would
be. Food. It wasn't notorized back

102
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.360
then, you know, there was
no no notoriety of it. You know,

103
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:29.600
it just wasn't heard of. Yeah, that's funny, you said,

104
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.399
that's what I called my grandmother,
mama, my mama on people. That's

105
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.399
that's what we told him. You
were kind of introduced to it by your

106
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:41.319
grandmother, and then you're you're seeing
things on in the media about it,

107
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:44.759
movies andthing. You get really interested. Then you joined this group and you're

108
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.879
you're kind of praying for an encounter. Can you can you kind of move

109
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:53.360
to that and let us Can you
talk about your first encounter? Tell tell

110
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:57.319
them all that that's what that was
like. Yeah, absolutely, first encounter.

111
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.160
You know, we was the normal
search missions. Actually just my son

112
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.199
and I went out to walk game
trails and everything we wanted to. We

113
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:08.160
was just going, you know,
to see if anything, you know,

114
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:12.279
the deer and your bigger wildlife have
been moving through, you know, from

115
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.439
the feet owners to blackberries and you
know, all of your forges. They

116
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.680
would go for us that it was
blooming yet. This was April of two

117
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:24.519
thousand and eight, would be the
first time my son and a he was

118
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:27.839
young, he's young guy, fourteen
years old. And I, of course

119
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.680
I had my you know, I
had my handgun with me under know,

120
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:32.879
under my blue jean jacket. My
son has a little he had a little

121
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:36.199
crossbow with him. I'm sorry,
he's a little compound bow. We were

122
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:40.839
walking through and we were at the
Seven River Bottoms. You know, it's

123
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.120
pretty expansive, it's a it's a
large place, bust up to a wildlife

124
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:47.439
management area. We come down through
this draw and we could hear I could

125
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:50.160
hear something at this time, and
you know, I wasn't new to it

126
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:54.839
then. I knew what the cast
singles one call sound like tree knock little

127
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:59.240
whistles, and I could hear that
stuff from a couple of different directions.

128
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.000
We just told, you know,
my son, we just kept onward through

129
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.439
the fog. We would say,
you know, we just kept kept our

130
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:07.519
nose to the grounds, done walking
the trail. And as we come up

131
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.600
around this, I guess his bend
on the trail itself, and of course

132
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:16.319
mine in the Fining Woods region and
especially in that area around the Sabbine River.

133
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:22.079
It's it's sick, but you can
see twenty thirty yards of visibility and

134
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:24.839
you can see through the brush and
stuff like that. And of course the

135
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.160
big pines they're you know, they're
staggered out. And as we come up

136
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.360
by this, probably about fifteen twenty
yards, I would say this time,

137
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.720
this thing just steps out with its
left foot. It steps out in the

138
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:41.039
middle of the trail, with its
arm hanging down on the left side it's

139
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:43.840
right hand. It's still got ahold
of the tree. You know, this

140
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:50.200
tree it's probably sows a betting man, probably eighteen twenty inches in diameter.

141
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.720
And the way he had his hand
around the tree, as I could see

142
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.720
his finger tip on one side and
I could see his thumb on the other

143
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:00.639
side, the side of the spacing
us, so he's almost palm in the

144
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:05.120
street. We're looking at his face. He was a startled that us being

145
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.480
there, is it's stepping in front
of us because we both come to the

146
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.320
hall. Of course, my son
being a john you uzzy, you know,

147
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:16.039
he didn't know what to do,
and be quite awesomely, I didn't

148
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:18.960
know what to do either, but
I knew not to run. But it

149
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.399
wasn't acting aggressive or anything of Latin
nature. It did. I mean,

150
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.960
there's something you'll hear a lot of
times, even as I listened to some

151
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.600
of your videos, like it'll flip
their lip, you know, the top

152
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.720
clipp it flip the flip and fold
it in a couple of times. And

153
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.840
it didn't let a low, you
know, attural deep, goodural growl,

154
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.000
but not it's more like a dog
at you spooked or something. It was

155
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:45.360
like, you know, just a
real short, gasping a good old growl.

156
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:46.720
I mean you could feel it in
your chest, you really could.

157
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.720
And I don't know if that's how
they produced this infrasound that they do or

158
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.399
part of their you know, part
of their quiset to pay hunt with or

159
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:00.320
whatever, but it does praise you. And you know, it's like after

160
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.559
this thing, I would guess was
probably as he went on about his business,

161
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:05.879
we kind of the top of my
standing, the top of my fingers

162
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:09.320
or at eight foot and his head
you know, of course they've kind of

163
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.960
been over a little bit. Top
of his head was still around the eighth

164
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.919
footmark, and of course this thing
kind of goes down, you know,

165
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.639
is left arm is the one hand
to the side that's down, you know,

166
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.440
probably about six inches blue his knees. He kind of goes down like

167
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:28.639
he's gonna go on foards and you
know, of course my son, he

168
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:31.039
has his compound bowl and he's got
it hanging down to the side. Nothing

169
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:35.639
aggressive. And I start to reach
into my jacket as he goes down on

170
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.919
fours because I always keep one in
the pipe blocks and loaded just in case.

171
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:43.919
But I didn't want to have to
go there because I always told myself

172
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.519
I don't want to ever shoot one, because I definitely don't mean no harm.

173
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.320
I just soon put my hand up
and wave at it, and I

174
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.120
hope that some type of communication,
be honest with you. But being my

175
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.080
son was there, and if I
had to, I definitely would have been

176
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:03.120
a jump forward or anything like that. I believe I could have empted the

177
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:07.080
cliff. It would have done a
lot of good, but it would have

178
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:09.279
been it would have been worth,
you know, to say my son myself.

179
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:11.600
But I just told my son,
I said, look, don't make

180
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:16.399
our contact with it. Looked down
and we both kind of looked toward the

181
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.440
ground. I said, we're gonna
start taking a few backsteps. And we

182
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.960
started. So it stood back up
again, and as fast as it appeared,

183
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:31.360
it disappeared. Now, when I
say disappeared, you hear stuff all

184
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:35.639
the time about all these things time
warping and all this stuff. Well,

185
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:39.480
I'm not a big believer in that
personally, and that's just my own personal

186
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:43.159
outtake of it. But I could
see clearly, you know, for like

187
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:46.039
I said, about twenty five thirty
yards in any direction. And I've seen

188
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.799
it go past the tree and down
this draw and I seen it look back

189
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.639
over its left shoulder one time at
us, and it seem that we wasn't

190
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.240
doing anything aggressive. We wasn't running, we wasn't moving. But I was

191
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.360
trying to was Bob in my head, trying to watch this thing. And

192
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:05.759
as it got about twenty five thirty
yards from us, I walked up to

193
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.399
the tree in which it had come
out from behind and look, and I

194
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.480
couldn't see it. I could hear, you know, it sounded like a

195
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.320
little miniature bulldozer, a bobcat going
through there. You could see you the

196
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.879
tops of these the saplings and stuff, you know, these ten twelve fourteen

197
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.000
put sapling just leaning over as it
was going through. Is pushing on them.

198
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.960
But I could never see it again
after that. Of course, some

199
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.000
more whistles and stuff come from the
east of us, and and I actually

200
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.399
used some ball whistles come from behind
us. You know, it's amazing how

201
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:39.200
fast it blended, blended, because
it's a master of rich environment, no

202
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.519
doubt about it. There's a master
of rich environment. You could walk.

203
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.000
I mean, I should have seen
the thing standing beside the tree before I

204
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.120
ever got to the tree. And
it's like, because I'm very observant,

205
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:52.679
you know, because there's you know, there's an occasional bear there, a

206
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.799
little black bear, but you know, bears of bear hogs. You know,

207
00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:01.120
we got big cats down here,
and you know, of course yodes

208
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.399
where general I don't worry about those
too much, but you know, the

209
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:07.039
big cats they do jump out of
trees and they make their shove well alone,

210
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.279
you know, and you know there
is a dangerous while I cast out

211
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:15.360
on when you become them in the
wood, and this thing just disappeared,

212
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.159
and I could hear it paced us
all the way. We probably quart them

213
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.120
off in the parking area. I'm
pretty sure there was a couple of them

214
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.600
pacing us, and we'd stop it
would stop your normal And I told my

215
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:26.960
son, I said, they're gonna
follow us about all the way out.

216
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:30.440
They've come this far, they're gonna
follow us all the way up. Of

217
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:33.320
course, you have a little rock
and pebble. Sometime you there's something get

218
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.440
thrown, not at us, but
by us. This is kind of their

219
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.279
way of letting us know that they
keep on moving, you know. That's

220
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.919
that's what they're telling you. Of
course, when I got out of there,

221
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:46.879
we got back to the vehicles,
don't loaded up we were. That's

222
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:48.879
kind of when the adrenaline really hid
in and so like you really sat in

223
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.879
on on what had just happened,
and you got to kind of soak it

224
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:58.039
all in and evaluate and reevaluate.
Of course, I called my team members

225
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:01.519
and plain to them and what it
had And then a few days later myself

226
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:05.559
along with one of other colleagues,
we went out and as we went in

227
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:09.519
there, you know we've seen a
little bit more territorial markers. Started ex

228
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:15.080
formations kind of went in a different
different direction and went that away and seen

229
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:18.120
those markers, you know, out
of you know, I would definetator to

230
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.200
get into the warnings. They're very
adamant about and that's why they put all

231
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.559
other especially the ex formations that I
mean when you see one of those,

232
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:31.159
that just a territorial marker for other
big foot or whatever and also for us

233
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:35.240
humans even though most people have not
a clue what it is. But it

234
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:39.120
is a big old keep outside basically
if you spelt out in English for everybody

235
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:43.159
you know, a lot of people
have found found that that's the hard way,

236
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.320
being chased out, having rocks thrown
at them, I mean, tree

237
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:48.759
trunks slung at them. I mean, I've seen I've seen him quite a

238
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:54.840
bit. I'm curious about your son. Does he talk about this? How

239
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.480
old is he now? Each twenty? Now, it's amazing you had a

240
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.159
or witness there with you, so
you can corroborate everything. It's not like

241
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:07.519
you were out there just thinking you
saw something. I mean, y'all really

242
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.360
saw it. Oh yeah, yeah, And he thinks about it and uh,

243
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:16.720
it's not that's not the scariest in
gunner he's been involved in. But

244
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:20.480
he's had one of the more hair
and that. But it wasn't you know,

245
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:24.200
it didn't do anything to him or
anything. But is he a part

246
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.159
of your group? Yes? There
he is, Okay, So it's a

247
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:33.039
father son deal. That's great.
That must be fun for y'all. Y'all

248
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:37.440
y'all go out camping and stuff on
your excursions and is that how do you

249
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.240
do that? Well, we usually
have planning, you know, playing event.

250
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.960
We usually you know, pick a
date and look at the weather and

251
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:50.039
uh timy year, you know,
knowing if these things should or possibly to

252
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:52.399
be moving through, and we planned
around the times, and you know,

253
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:58.639
sometimes it's just him and I and
you know, we've introduced another lifetime friend

254
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:03.240
of his is into it, and
of course his father's had encounters in his

255
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:07.919
middle life, you know, middle
life, and you know it's fun to

256
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:12.879
hear is encounters and stories and no
the young getting younger generation involved involved in

257
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:17.639
something like it, or they take
notice and get comfortable with it, you

258
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:21.360
know, as an outstanding and an
outstanding they should being father and something like

259
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:23.320
you're saying it. I mean,
there's there's not too many father and suns

260
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:30.000
they can say they've been getting in
experience what we've been into. Yeah,

261
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.519
well, it definitely gives y'all something
to talk or talk about it at the

262
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.559
dinner table. I'm sure. So
that's your first encounter and it wasn't a

263
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:41.080
violent encounter. It was a pretty
benign encountering this thing. This thing pretty

264
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:47.080
much just walked away and they tracked
you out moving forward. How how have

265
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:51.360
things progressed with your with your search
for this thing? Other you said your

266
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:53.919
son had a more hairy encounter.
Do do you have y'all ever had any

267
00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:59.960
aggressive behavior from them? Well,
we've had I mean we've had some pretty

268
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.839
size boulders. I call them boulders
because there's a size of the little bowling

269
00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:08.200
ball. And I mean we've had
them launched, We've we've seen them be

270
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:12.559
they've been launched from the tree line, which would be you know, forty

271
00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:17.559
fifty feet from us. Of course
it was in the late nay evenings and

272
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:21.599
stuff. And this thing these things
come now where they are where they got

273
00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:23.279
them from. I have no idea, but there's to have something with an

274
00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:27.680
opposing thumb, So no the other
questions or bear anything to throw anything and

275
00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:33.200
anybody, you know, these things
come launching out of the tree line would

276
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:37.279
well quite a bit of velocity,
and I mean how these things are so

277
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:40.519
actually, I'm pretty sure it's part
of their running skills. I mean,

278
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:45.440
these things can launch tree trunks,
I mean, you know, I believe

279
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:48.359
it six eight foot tree trunk gets
slung like a boomerang. I mean,

280
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.960
and you can hear it coming through
the air man's man, I mean literally

281
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.640
you can. You can hear it
coming through the airs. You can imagine

282
00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:03.680
when you pick up us helicopter.
It's horrible. And but we've had you

283
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:07.160
know, we've had them screaming holler. I mean in the pitch Black and

284
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:08.839
you know, you can watch one
I'm a fleg and you can watch it

285
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:14.079
running. But when it's running at
and screaming, and then you look off

286
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:18.480
and there's another one and they're screaming
obviously being that goodinal growl. When these

287
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:22.240
things growl, it's not like going
to the zoo and listening to one of

288
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.680
the Big Five growl at you.
It's a whole different deal. I mean,

289
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:30.759
you're way beyond paying attention. You're
way beyond that these things are.

290
00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:36.519
You know, I grew up in
it was a very outdoors guy. I'm

291
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:40.440
not scared of anything, and these
things make me nervous. Gay. I

292
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:44.000
mean, you know, I have
ever I mean anything that can launch rocks

293
00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:45.880
that you know I use two hands
to pick up for the most part,

294
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.680
and these things are chumping. I'm
like, they're you know, tennis ball,

295
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:52.200
and when they hit the ground day
in bed in the ground, it's

296
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:56.400
like, you know, there's several
different occasions, you know, fine pigs

297
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.279
and pigs have been of course,
the lego be tore off from where it

298
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:03.240
slung it against the tree, you
know, actually be rib, part of

299
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.160
the rib cage embedded into the tree. Of course, they take what they

300
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:11.359
want, you know, it's just
something that can do that. Especially a

301
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.119
hog is mean as them things are. I mean, we're not talking little

302
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:18.519
babies and we're talking solls and hogs
up in the three hundred pound plus range,

303
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:22.000
you know, big is huge ones
cowels or the next you know,

304
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:27.200
next folded back, you know,
just pulled straight back and the lads tore

305
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:32.720
off, and the strength of these
things is unimaginable. I wouldn't want one

306
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:34.200
to get ahold of me, It
really wouldn't not just you know, and

307
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:37.759
I pray to God every time I
go out to allow that thing to know

308
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:44.359
that I meaning no harm onceoever,
and I would never never try to violate

309
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:48.759
it in space of privacy and in
that matter. But these other things that

310
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:51.720
are running out there I'm gonna call
them what they are. They're monsters and

311
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:56.759
these things with the snouts, and
that's a whole different topic because we're not

312
00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:02.759
talking about the same species or or
animal at all. What do you want

313
00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:04.440
to do? You want to talk
about that now or do you want to

314
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:08.319
hold it for a later I mean, that's a you and I talked about

315
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:14.119
that earlier today when we set this
appointment up to do this recording, and

316
00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:18.000
that's fascinating stuff. You want to
wait or you want to talk about yourself,

317
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:21.640
I'll get in. I'll get into
it. I'll say about the other

318
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:25.119
encounter in the sunlight. We were
up there and up an Oklahoma area and

319
00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:30.200
the came Echeas and we actually was
waiting for one other ties to show up

320
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:36.160
next morning. And where we had
up there's a wildlife management area that bus

321
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:40.240
right up to the It's an old
camp ground. I mean it's and it's

322
00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:41.960
old. I mean there's no no
water, no electors, no anything.

323
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:45.839
It's just an old fishing camp.
So it is. Of course, I

324
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:48.839
poughked my truck up there in front
of the tent, and uh, you

325
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:53.079
know, it was colder and naild, and this was a mid February and

326
00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:56.000
we're sitting there and we're asleep.
Of course, I got my little little

327
00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:59.559
rat terrier. Of course, you
know, he thinks he's a pit bull

328
00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:04.119
all. He thinks he's mean,
but it's about twenty pounds of of nerard

329
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:11.839
fatness is all he is. He
thinks he's something. But he just said,

330
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:14.039
it looks like a big old sausage
with a little head on it.

331
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:19.000
He's crazy. Ye oh yeah.
Well, Dylan is about about two o'clock

332
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:22.480
in the morning. No, he
needs to relieve itself. So he opened

333
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.920
up the tent for him, and
I said, look, just just step

334
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.920
out and move to the ride and
you'll bill okay. You know, of

335
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:33.640
course my dog needed to go at
the same time. Well, the dog

336
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:37.920
goes out around the edge of the
channel. I've been hearing I've been hearing

337
00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:41.559
something move around back behind the chant, which I didn't think much of it

338
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.559
because they have a lot of raccoons. We've done run a couple of them

339
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:49.680
alls. They trying to take her. We've made some soup and unless the

340
00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:52.359
cans out. Of course they got
my trash. Had to run them off,

341
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:56.359
and didn't think a lot about it. But then I kept hearing something,

342
00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:00.799
and it's something first time this has
happened. You heard something sniffing,

343
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:04.799
sniffing around the base of the tent. It was more than asually than a

344
00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:07.799
year or year. I was,
you know, very deep. I mean,

345
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:11.880
the breastless thing was when is in
Helen was quite large, and I'm

346
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:15.680
sitting there thinking, and every once
in a while, as I could hear

347
00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:19.920
a year or something slapped the fabric
of the outside of the tent on the

348
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:25.759
backside. So and I hadn't heard
it for a while, but evidently one

349
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:29.400
of these things, whether it been
a had a lesson a younger one would

350
00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:32.839
be my guest must have been kind
of hunkered down on the back shide of

351
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:37.000
the canny real plus proximity of it. So when the dog walking on that

352
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:40.119
first corner, you would have thought
he got hit by a car. He

353
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:45.359
screeched, scared the hell out of
me and my son. He saw the

354
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:49.640
back into the tent and he's got
done yet. So you can use your

355
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:55.839
imagination if there was a rainbow in
the air, right, and that's why

356
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:59.119
what the hell and the dog applied
back in the tent. He was still

357
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:03.160
year and I on himself and then
I hear the same runoff I jumped out

358
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:04.200
of ten, I hit the spoiler, of course, go through it.

359
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:07.680
I'm looking for an eyeshine morning,
any shadow a career, I'm looking for

360
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:14.119
eyeshine. It's always a nice red
red year, you know, a glowing

361
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:17.839
red eyes. You know why there's
that color, I don't know, but

362
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:22.279
let's just I look for sea.
It wounded up being more funny than anything,

363
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:26.480
but it was scarier at the time
because you know, he's a poor

364
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.200
fellow, he's the ass he's asked
away heading there, and dogs come to

365
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.839
speech it in haller and buck around
at him, and and then if they

366
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:37.119
think passed up, takes out run
and carried me that it all happened,

367
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:40.400
because that was, you know,
all just relaxed, just laying there and

368
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:42.559
and all this brake flews. It's
like he to say, I didn't sleep

369
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:47.279
sleep a winkle wrestling night, and
or did he? And he you know,

370
00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:51.079
we slept in the center of this
tenth and six man tenth. You

371
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:53.559
know, it's just it's just one
of the one of the simple, I

372
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:56.960
guess, simpler encounters. But for
as aggressive I mean, we've been,

373
00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:00.880
we've been run out of the woods
like on day tres the stuff myself and

374
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:06.759
not my son on Listen to my
colleagues. We've had these things literally chase

375
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:10.240
us out. I mean you they
chase us out. We were running from

376
00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:12.160
it and it was running behind us, and when it got to the tree

377
00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:18.240
line and we broke into a clearing, gets close enough to our vehicle and

378
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:21.160
we've had it, you know,
a dent knocked into the back of the

379
00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:23.480
trunk and stuff like that on the
quarter path back behind the right rear wheel,

380
00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:26.799
you know, as we took off
flapp it's real good like it and

381
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:30.960
it was dark, but I mean, yeah, it was coming. I

382
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:34.480
mean if we wouldn't have been a
few steps ahead over or we don't know

383
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:37.960
what would happen, to be honest
with y'all, be just your speculation there.

384
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:41.480
I mean, it may have let
us go. It may have mold

385
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:45.880
us up. I don't know,
but I know it was started out chumping,

386
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:51.200
jumping things at us and screaming and
are in a very valid manner.

387
00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:53.400
We may have been too. Plus
may have been a cub, you know,

388
00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:57.519
young and they're somewhere. We've only
seen one female in my time,

389
00:24:57.960 --> 00:25:00.359
you know, of course, you
can see shed breast and everything, and

390
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:04.279
she was a little out of it
about making sure we didn't come any closer

391
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:10.880
than the males. Chimed in and
they run us out of there. They

392
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:14.839
let us o real quick. They
did not want us there, and of

393
00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:18.960
course we listened to their instruction.
You know, we got out of there.

394
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:22.039
Dealing with one's a look different than
three or four. I mean,

395
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:26.079
we've been surrounded by I would say
three to four these things at a time.

396
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:27.640
And it's not like, you know, it's a real top family unit.

397
00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:33.720
I've never been even near one that
I know of, But I think

398
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:36.680
I'm gonna know if they want me
gone. And you just know that,

399
00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:41.079
don't you? You feel it?
It's not that you you know, sometimes

400
00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:45.759
you get this an's look. I'm
being watched. You really need to pay

401
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:51.759
attention man watching. If it's still
like something watching them, You'll tell yourself,

402
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:53.599
now, Hall never know that to
happen out here, and you keep

403
00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:57.799
that feeling. Chances are you know
I heard you saying something other or not

404
00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:03.559
about you'll put up your gear nets
and stuff dearly. You'll let deer come

405
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:07.279
in and pick your fruit trees and
your stuff like that, you know,

406
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:11.440
thrown them up for you. They
follow them, you know them berries and

407
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:15.960
if you've got berries, and when
and while the fruit and stuff like that

408
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:21.079
growing and the gear are coming.
I can assure you you would there be

409
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:25.160
any kind around your house that you've
got one somewhere, not real far from

410
00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:30.319
you. Just the crazy things they
do. They just do some whether it

411
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:33.839
be horse trading with you know,
they'll take your stuff and leave your skull.

412
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:37.799
You'll find the skull that you know
wasn't there the other day, rock

413
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:41.680
that don't belong in that area.
They'll just show up. You'll find them

414
00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:45.880
in a power or stratch up or
even up by your house. Sometimes you'll

415
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:51.319
find you'll start focusing on things that
you never would have looked for before.

416
00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:55.640
When you start once they let you
know that, hey, this is what

417
00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:57.880
I do. You know, everyone
has got their own calling guard, I

418
00:26:57.880 --> 00:27:03.319
guess you would say. And you'll
find the limbs and aren't from any trees

419
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:07.440
that you have right there in your
immediate area. You know, sometimes it's

420
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.720
people just overlook at you see a
branch. Again, we really don't process

421
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:15.759
that, but you go look at
that kind of something that's that simple can

422
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:19.079
be the difference whether you have one
run in your media area, immediate area,

423
00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:23.960
or if it's just passing through or
migrating to north or south and looking

424
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:29.039
for a mate. There's just so
many difference, just so many different scenarios

425
00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:33.279
it can play out. That's funny. Every time I talk to somebody out

426
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:37.519
they say something, it's like you
just mentioned, there'll be a tree limb

427
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:41.440
laying there that doesn't belong there.
On one of these old logging roads that

428
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:45.279
I take my dogs back on,
there's a bunch of hardwood back there,

429
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:48.880
and then there's a bunch of pine
pine thickets. About a week ago,

430
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:52.880
we had a pretty good wind come
through and I walked pack there was a

431
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:56.240
pine branch right in the middle of
the road. And I walked past it

432
00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.319
two or three days in a road, and then I stopped yesterday and I

433
00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:03.599
was going to move it out of
the way, because I run my four

434
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:06.759
wheeler back through there every once in
a while. And I got to looking

435
00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:08.960
around, and that's in the middle
of the hardwoods. There's not a pine

436
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:14.720
tree for a hundred yards in either
direction. And I know the wind wasn't

437
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:17.960
wasn't strong enough to blow it through
the woods. And all the way out

438
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:22.960
in that road is that what you're
talking about. That's exactly what I'm talking

439
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:27.200
about. Something just that subtle.
It's something that's subtle that they may be

440
00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:32.480
putting that there to see if you
realize that that's even happening. And then

441
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:34.799
once they see that, it draws
your attention. You may be looking for

442
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:38.720
more of those type of branches,
even closer to your house and just keeping

443
00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:41.640
eye on things like that, and
then things I like that. I mean,

444
00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:47.240
rocks, rocks are their favorites.
Rocks. They'll bring rock, river

445
00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:51.920
stones and some types of a larger
pea, gravel and stuff. Well,

446
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:55.799
there's none of this around hearing What
the hill is this rock doing way up

447
00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:57.359
here? I mean, where did
this come from? I had dug up

448
00:28:57.400 --> 00:29:00.440
one of these around my house of
twenty Here is where this come from.

449
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:04.200
Sometimes, you know, they'll set
it in the most obvious place where they

450
00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:07.960
know that you. Frequently they see, you know, walk your animals,

451
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:11.000
dogs, you know, notice some
other things. You've got a good plan

452
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:15.720
I call it, or a family
unit. They see that you're In general,

453
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:18.240
they don't like dogs because dogs give
them up. Dogs will for the

454
00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:22.680
most part start barking at them,
give away their location and stuff. And

455
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:29.440
this is why you hear so many
dog fatalities and injury to dogs themselves in

456
00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:33.000
that nature because and that's what happens
now. And you do also have the

457
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:36.599
ones to see that you love and
take care of your animals. And they

458
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:40.079
also they know what affection is.
You know, they have it as a

459
00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:44.160
family units. I can see primate
thrillas you know, mother's holding their young

460
00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:49.200
that they actually nurture, the nurture
their own and they recognize that you don't

461
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:53.160
have a negative attitude or they can
feel these things. And you know,

462
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:56.880
you can feel attension. You don't
have to see it. You can feel

463
00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:00.920
it if somebody's upset or in their
body language, you can you know they

464
00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:06.000
read a lot off of that.
Dogs can pick that up. I know

465
00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:07.920
that about dogs. They know when
I'm tense, and they know when I'm

466
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:11.839
angry, and they know when I'm
happy. And so yeah, I agree

467
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:18.799
with that. That is so funny. Horses number one. Yeah, I'm

468
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:22.720
I'm horrible with horses. I I
avoid them. Every horse I've ever been

469
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:26.119
on tried to kill me, so
I just stay away from him. But

470
00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:30.000
that's funny because Rick Wells Woodbooger Farm. Are you familiar with him. I've

471
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:33.799
heard the name. I don't know
personally. He lives up in Kentucky.

472
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:38.000
Just a great guy, and he
emails me every once a while. And

473
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:41.000
after he heard that heard me say
that, he was like, you got

474
00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:44.400
them. You got them there.
If they're picking all your blackberries, you

475
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:47.359
got them. I just can't here, I can't. I just can't believe

476
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:49.119
it. It's just hard for me
to believe because I just don't. I'm

477
00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:52.400
not that observing, I guess.
But anyway, well, now, so

478
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:59.200
through all your studies and you're it's
not scientific study, but you're you guys

479
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:03.079
are observer, and you're always looking
for anything different, anything strange that you

480
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:07.240
cannot that you can connect with these
things. And then you just start putting

481
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:11.920
two and two together, don't you? And you yeah, a lot of

482
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:18.599
it is times it's like the first
cast I casted from down in that area

483
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:22.559
you know down there, you know
is you know, it's outside of Paris

484
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:26.160
taxes and I got this cast.
Well, mister Chilcut, which I know,

485
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:30.119
you remember that name, he was
at forensic. He does all the

486
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:33.319
fingerprints and the footprints and stuff.
This is what he does. And of

487
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:37.119
course Jeff Melgram and my footprint got
presented to him. That's why he was

488
00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:41.079
you know, they have a big
foot college in Jefferson, Texas. Once

489
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:45.359
you hear my cast was presented to
him, and he went over with a

490
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:48.960
fine tooth gull and it was it
was deemed of an unknown primary appreciate.

491
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:52.319
It was you know what we call
it, thirteen seventy six. I mean

492
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:56.200
it wasn't the thirteen inches long,
seven inches across the ball, six at

493
00:31:56.200 --> 00:32:01.960
the heel. And this one.
I'd seen this thing at nighttime from from

494
00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:07.599
probably about seventy five yards. We
built when we go out, we'll build

495
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:10.960
two or three different fires, dummy
fires would call them, you know,

496
00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:15.519
but we and we'll sit at one. But we looked and I could see

497
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:22.440
something messing around the fire or the
glows of the hambers and the fire,

498
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:25.240
and of course lo and behold what
over then we can see it was,

499
00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:30.359
you know, it was messed with
and everything. And of course didn't see

500
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:35.240
it very clearly to that next morning. Well, man, just a perfect

501
00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:38.000
footprint. Many hit all the toes. I mean there's so much detail.

502
00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:40.839
I mean, see the toeails.
You could just see. It's such a

503
00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:45.119
perfect cast. And you know,
as my first cast to personally cast myself.

504
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:47.279
So it was a real big deal
to me, you know, and

505
00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:51.839
I still got into this day.
It's like, man, wow, you

506
00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:54.359
know, yeah, the footprint,
you know, Okay, they're hard to

507
00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:59.000
come across and couldn't do it smart. They're very smart trying on to leave

508
00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:00.519
tricks. And that's why you see
a lot of these, a lot of

509
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:05.400
these videos and these pictures of these
trees that are bowed over. You know,

510
00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:07.920
they'll use these things. They'll jump
up off tree and they'll swing on

511
00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:10.880
the dude, you know, bowl
at tree over. Of course that helps

512
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:15.759
some skip about twenty foot you know
when they get up on these trees and

513
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:17.839
ride the top of other back down
to the ground, and you know,

514
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:22.559
it throws you off and it helps
to different things. You know, I've

515
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:25.680
heard this before and I agree with
it. Is the tension off that tree

516
00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:31.119
that bowl is over. It keeps
from the impact, the landing impact.

517
00:33:31.160 --> 00:33:35.839
It probably helps some absorber injury.
You know, when you have something like

518
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:37.799
that, it you know, helps
cushing their fall. It kind of like

519
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:42.039
a spring. It gets so far
and then as they go over and there

520
00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:45.519
are already on the ground. But
you see these mainly in pine trees because

521
00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:47.960
they're flexible, and these little Douglas
furs and stuff like that. You'll see

522
00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:52.119
them, you know, arched over
and you'll start seeing that, and a

523
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:57.039
lot of the woods. If you
start really walking through and paying attention real

524
00:33:57.079 --> 00:34:00.880
good, you'll see these things.
These trees are just arched, perfect arches.

525
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:05.680
Well it's not from winterfall or snow
the way to the snow hanging on

526
00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:08.679
them to give that appearance. But
then you got all these other trees are

527
00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:14.320
right around it that aren't doing anything. So any more. You start looking

528
00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:17.079
at that. My wife and you
know, started getting real good and noticing

529
00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:22.920
tree breaks and twists and man,
we've tried to simulate them with chain tongs,

530
00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:27.280
chain ranges, strapp ranges. All
right, well that's interesting. I

531
00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:30.159
got trees bows too, But we're
not gonna go off on that rabbit hole.

532
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:37.159
Let's see you got them. I'm
I'm gonna keep saying I don't.

533
00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:40.800
But but you know why I say
that, because I live in North Mississippi

534
00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:44.960
and we're just in the mud.
We don't have any rocks or you know,

535
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:47.599
it's just went all winter long.
We're just in the mud. And

536
00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:52.239
I look, I've gotten to where
I just kind of I'm not used to

537
00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:54.639
looking down while I walk, unless
I'm looking where I'm stepping. But I've

538
00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:59.320
gotten where I kind of I'll check
down, you know, for thirty forty

539
00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:01.800
yards, and then I'll start looking
at everything else. And I never I'm

540
00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:04.960
looking for a track. If I
ever saw a track, I'd say,

541
00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:07.880
yep, up there here. But
uh but anyway, now you got how

542
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:12.079
long? Let's see, you got
into this in two thousand and eight,

543
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:15.960
is that right? Well, that's
that's when I had my first That's when

544
00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:21.079
we had our first siding. Now
I mean I got I got into it

545
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:24.880
and started actively researching, you know, going out as a as a team,

546
00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:30.079
as a teammate or know, the
part of an expedition team. Probably

547
00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:35.960
around two thousand, two thousand and
one. And you know, of course

548
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:38.199
I was. I was on the
computer, non stop buzz research and the

549
00:35:38.679 --> 00:35:43.199
actually are I live he Actually you
can look it up on the database on

550
00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:47.760
the website you look at, you
know, the sidings database as one you

551
00:35:47.880 --> 00:35:53.000
look for, it's gonna be uh
I believe it says many old Texas on

552
00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:57.960
it. And actually it's a stone's
throw from my house now, and there's

553
00:35:57.960 --> 00:36:00.360
actually a lady that lives and I
know exactly where the else is. I

554
00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:05.960
mean, we went did an interview
this lady. You can actually see where

555
00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:10.119
hunter children they're that a German shepherd
dog at the time. And they went

556
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:13.880
back to just right behind the house, and the husband was a church driver.

557
00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:17.119
She started having you know, hearing
things and stuff like it was didn't

558
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:20.880
think much of it. But one
day they went back to pick a bush

559
00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:23.480
a little blackberries. The dog kept
getting in front of her, turning to

560
00:36:23.559 --> 00:36:28.639
blalker from getting to the BlackBerry bush. A huge bush. Man is huge

561
00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:32.800
because this thing stood up from on
the backside of it and a towered above

562
00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:36.880
it, and of course give him
a good stare down. Of course the

563
00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:44.360
dog. They beat the dog to
the house, you know, so uh

564
00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:46.480
and you can and you can look
that one up. I mean that one

565
00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:52.880
that's that's been verified and uh,
that's out. There's another church family just

566
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:58.559
out there behind the lake fork and
which is twenty miles probably from where that

567
00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:02.679
siding is. Family coming home from
church. Notice the one we're behind the

568
00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:07.559
spillway by the dam and it's very
open there. I mean you see one

569
00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:12.159
you watch it run for hundreds of
yards before you get back into the woods,

570
00:37:12.639 --> 00:37:15.440
and they watched it across you know, Highway one eighty two or FM

571
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:19.119
one eighty two which is behind runs
behind the dam. But like four,

572
00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:22.559
you know, this is a family
coming home from church. So let's just

573
00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:25.800
two starlings try here. And there's
been several others that wasn't reported. You

574
00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:30.639
know a lot of people were afraid
to being ridiculed. And and then you

575
00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:34.639
don't understand that better than anybody.
I got family that rises the hell out

576
00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:36.800
of me over it, and I'll
tell them, well, you know,

577
00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:40.559
instead of ridicule, I mean what
you go out, No I would Okay,

578
00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:45.079
I'll see how that is. Just
share it. Then when we go

579
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:47.840
see the truth, you know,
and you can't gantee you know, I

580
00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:52.639
can't know. I'll take you out
and this is going to happen. I

581
00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:55.519
can just about promise you're here.
Tree knocks and man calls if you know

582
00:37:55.559 --> 00:37:59.519
what you're listening for. I can
about day and see that I happened.

583
00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:02.320
But can I guarantee you one's gonna
walk up into camp. We've had that

584
00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:08.079
happen just everybody else doing everything.
And uh, you hear something about pedal,

585
00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:10.920
you know about pele coming up behind
us in the woods, just just

586
00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:16.079
just like you are coming up from
from ben out fishing, come walking back

587
00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:21.039
up into camp, and of course
just stop shout out outside of camp.

588
00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:23.239
I mean you know, you're talking
twenty thirty feet just outside of the glow

589
00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:27.960
of the fire and you hit the
flares unit out that way and you can

590
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:31.280
see it standing everybody as large as
life. And then myself with a guy

591
00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:35.360
with the video. You know,
you're trying to document, document everything,

592
00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:39.119
I mean, every question. I
mean it requires sty calcular evidence. I

593
00:38:39.159 --> 00:38:43.880
mean it requires this, so we
get in after it. Mean you know,

594
00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:45.599
we run in after it. I
mean trying to get a shot,

595
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:50.280
get that money shot, you know, right yea, and uh, of

596
00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:52.679
course we've already with the group and
everything. Of course a lot that stuffs

597
00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:57.000
copyright, so you know, of
course I can't think anythink anybody. But

598
00:38:57.400 --> 00:39:01.599
you can go MK Davis's web and
you can see some of the video.

599
00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:05.239
I mean, we've got three of
them in one frame to them having a

600
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:08.920
pushing match and a bigger one shows
up that just makes these things look like

601
00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:13.760
look like nothing. I mean,
this things huge and it's just pushing gen

602
00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:16.280
foot plus I mean, and you
can see it. I mean, you

603
00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:21.920
know, it's always blurrier. What
they don't know in these videos is you

604
00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:24.599
see these you see these creatures,
but it's not a direct shot at these

605
00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:30.079
creatures. What we did or we
did to be able to capture these things

606
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:34.400
because they're very camera smart. Like
I said, these things are masters in

607
00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:37.079
their environment. You know, we'll
here this time and time again if people

608
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:42.679
put game cameras out and being messed
with, turn torn up, disappear.

609
00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:46.159
You're here this time and time again. But we got them interested in mirrors.

610
00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:52.199
We set mirrors up against trees and
we shoot the camera at the mirror

611
00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:58.119
which would reflect show you the reflection
back behind behind them. So some of

612
00:39:58.159 --> 00:40:00.079
the shots are you know, they're
a little boy. You still see what

613
00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:02.800
they are, you know. And
there's a couple of m J. Davis

614
00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:07.960
uh uh and each Texas uh you
can you can see you can go watch

615
00:40:08.079 --> 00:40:12.960
him yourself and and kind of look
at him. There's one that it's joined

616
00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:16.079
into a garden, a garden area
and this is right inside our friend's house.

617
00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:20.119
I mean, they go in and
take corn. I'm not sure if

618
00:40:20.119 --> 00:40:22.000
he's got that one on there,
but these steps over the sense comes back

619
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:24.960
out with a corn cob in his
mouth. And it's a it's a very

620
00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:30.440
small one. The thing about a
thousand real thin, you know. It

621
00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:32.760
didn't feel it out yet, I
don't mean, but it looks like it's

622
00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:38.320
a little small hairy man and it
moves a lot quicker, and it's got

623
00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:42.199
a long ladies steps side over that
ball fare fence, like you know,

624
00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:45.840
the steps over the mirror. How
big a mirror do you use? We

625
00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:50.639
use like the mirrors that you see
on the back of here, like a

626
00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:52.840
little free or four dollars mirrors you
buy like loaths and did you get on

627
00:40:54.079 --> 00:40:58.159
uh you put on the back of
your doors in the bedroom or something real

628
00:40:58.199 --> 00:41:01.239
fee. It's cheesy. They're about
or foot by true foot or foot by

629
00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:05.719
foot and a half in with and
you're just uh. We prop them up

630
00:41:05.719 --> 00:41:09.880
against the trees and different angles,
and of course shoot the camera, you

631
00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:15.039
know, mirror You point the camera
half the mirror, yes, sir,

632
00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:17.159
and that gives you the reflection back
behind you in any angle you want to

633
00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:22.159
watch. That is that is a
brilliant way to do that. I have

634
00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:25.519
never thought of that anyway. Go
ahead. When we started doing that,

635
00:41:27.519 --> 00:41:34.239
our luck change change for the better. I mean, we started getting we

636
00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:37.559
started getting crazy, you know,
just crazy video, and it's like,

637
00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:40.280
wow, that's all we have to
do. It's like, you know,

638
00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:44.559
and of course you everyone to come
up every this is one big one.

639
00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:49.559
He come up in a it's seen
its reflection in the tree on the mirror,

640
00:41:49.920 --> 00:41:52.960
and of course the tree that it
was showing it thought there was another

641
00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:57.800
sess. Watch ever, so it
attacks the tree, you know, and

642
00:41:57.960 --> 00:42:01.039
you fit in. This tree's huge
and the trees and old Peno is probably

643
00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:05.320
a hundred years old. It's four
foot in diameter five foot at the face.

644
00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:08.000
This thing hits this tree. It
sounds like a truck hit in the

645
00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:12.800
tree, I mean, and you
can hear the upper branches rattle. Of

646
00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:15.719
course, dimind you, this is
the middle of the night. You got

647
00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:19.400
the r glow from the hour,
you know, light on it, so

648
00:42:19.559 --> 00:42:22.519
you never see anything besides some gray
you know, you see some charcoal gray

649
00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:27.599
hair, ducally, and you hear
this thing grunt and it stuff like you're

650
00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:31.719
trying the roots. This tree is
giving it all. And had it been

651
00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:36.679
a smaller tree, you know,
two three foot, I would believe it

652
00:42:36.760 --> 00:42:39.039
might have got it to lean a
little bit. But now let me I

653
00:42:39.199 --> 00:42:45.400
know everybody listing is there. I
can already see the comments. Where are

654
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:47.079
the pictures? Where are the videos? Where are the pictures? Where everybody

655
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:51.760
wants to see the pictures and videos? Do you have a do you got

656
00:42:51.800 --> 00:42:57.400
does your group or do you have
a social media side or something? A

657
00:42:57.440 --> 00:43:01.159
lot of that stuff is it's coffee, right, and they do not post

658
00:43:01.159 --> 00:43:07.159
a lot of it. However,
one of the members did release a couple

659
00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:09.280
of them too. If you go
to MK Davis, very well known,

660
00:43:09.440 --> 00:43:15.199
he tried to and hand do some
enhancements on it. You can actually look

661
00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:20.639
look up at the MK Davis Parish
chexes and he's got a couple of videos.

662
00:43:20.679 --> 00:43:23.639
An error and them two in which
I told you you got one called

663
00:43:24.320 --> 00:43:29.280
Whitey running. He's got off.
There's a white one and it gets taught

664
00:43:29.519 --> 00:43:34.199
by the reflection of the camera,
the camera to the mirror like I'm Tanya

665
00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:37.679
wasn't twenty directly, if you can
see this thing running from left to ride,

666
00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:42.719
it comes back behind the barn and
it's across a ditch and back behind

667
00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:45.760
the house. And see this thing
the blistering speed in which it can move

668
00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:51.360
at that size. First of all, jaw dropping, and of course you

669
00:43:51.440 --> 00:43:58.079
still have the three that the two
having a shoving match. There's a white

670
00:43:58.079 --> 00:44:01.000
one in black one having a shoving
match. And then this big one comes

671
00:44:01.039 --> 00:44:07.079
into view and right behind it there's
a tool shack at the edge of the

672
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:12.599
eve of it is. It's seven
foot and you can see this thing.

673
00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:15.840
I tell us above that evil that
tool shack a foot and a half to

674
00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:20.880
two foots so. And there's another
one that's down in the ditch. You

675
00:44:21.039 --> 00:44:22.679
think it's doing something else. What
it is it's a local bread that we

676
00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:25.800
had put out. And they're not
big lovers of bread. They love little

677
00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:30.679
daby snacks. Yeah, man,
I'm telling you that they lovel like a

678
00:44:30.679 --> 00:44:35.920
little three month of the gear of
art. Yeah. They We've found out

679
00:44:35.920 --> 00:44:38.199
if you screw a bucket of the
tree and cut the lid in half,

680
00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:43.159
top portion of it on working at
the bottom, the raccoons and stuff can't

681
00:44:43.159 --> 00:44:47.719
get in there foot off the ground. So the whole whole corns in there.

682
00:44:49.280 --> 00:44:51.960
A little davy snack you can file. You can follow the rappers for

683
00:44:52.079 --> 00:44:53.800
day. But we put a local
bread in there. Ever now and then

684
00:44:54.039 --> 00:45:00.280
a whole oval bread. Well,
you see this video of this local bread

685
00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:02.400
getting chunked into a creek basin.
You know, you know a lot of

686
00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:06.119
increase down there. They're dried up
and some of them have water, some

687
00:45:06.239 --> 00:45:09.679
of them dump. But you can
see this level bread just get chunked and

688
00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:14.559
land into the to the creek bed. And then uh, if you just

689
00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:17.119
follow these videos all them from Paris
takes down there, you'll see you can

690
00:45:17.159 --> 00:45:21.519
see all of these and then they're
you know, they're free to view to

691
00:45:21.599 --> 00:45:23.039
the public. And you know,
of course everybody, of course Lottom are

692
00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:28.760
got low ye low light editions.
You'll see a hunter go across and then

693
00:45:29.199 --> 00:45:31.199
you know, not but a few
minutes after there, you'll see this smaller

694
00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:36.360
black would just come running across your
screen and it goes out of screen and

695
00:45:36.440 --> 00:45:38.159
comes back to the creek and it
comes up and you'll see one of these

696
00:45:38.280 --> 00:45:43.719
pine trees that I was talking about
the boat over and you'll see this thing

697
00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:45.880
come up and run over the top
of it and back down back and behind

698
00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:50.760
the camera and he comes a younger
one for the snicker really paying a kitchen

699
00:45:50.800 --> 00:45:54.360
and it being videos. You know, so you get on this website,

700
00:45:54.400 --> 00:45:57.599
you can definitely see if you get
into the m K Davis. You can

701
00:45:57.639 --> 00:46:00.599
find a few of those, okay, is he so we're real clearer because

702
00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:05.440
people won't want to know is this
his Facebook page or does he have a

703
00:46:05.519 --> 00:46:08.239
YouTube channel? It's a YouTube channel. You go under, look under m

704
00:46:08.280 --> 00:46:14.000
K Davis and look at MKA Davis. Anything to do because be put in

705
00:46:14.039 --> 00:46:21.480
past texts and those videos should pop
up. Why he's run shoving match,

706
00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:24.960
they'll all be rut there kind of
a sequence, you know. It's the

707
00:46:24.960 --> 00:46:30.239
one that he got permissions one of
the landowners. He got these all all

708
00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:34.360
these you're gonna remember, all these
are good on vhs back of this time

709
00:46:34.360 --> 00:46:37.800
frame. And then he converted you
burn them on and he made them a

710
00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:39.599
deal. So I'll put these on
a disc or so he put them on

711
00:46:39.599 --> 00:46:44.039
a disc and uh and hanced them. The best is good and he did

712
00:46:44.039 --> 00:46:47.239
a pretty good job. I'll make
sure and find that channel and I'll link

713
00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:53.559
it in the description below so everybody
won't. I get so many comments about

714
00:46:54.039 --> 00:46:58.920
no pictures, no proof. I
ain't listening anymore. And so we found

715
00:46:58.960 --> 00:47:01.360
a place where there's going to be
some good pictures and videos. So I'll

716
00:47:02.119 --> 00:47:06.880
if I can find it, I'll
put it in the description below. Rodney.

717
00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:14.760
So where are y'all at now?
Are y'all still actively hunting big foots

718
00:47:14.840 --> 00:47:17.360
or I don't. I'm not saying
hunting to kill them, just hunt them

719
00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:21.440
down, trying to find them,
get get visuals and more evidence. So

720
00:47:21.599 --> 00:47:24.800
y'all still actively out there doing that? Yes, sir, that is something

721
00:47:24.840 --> 00:47:30.000
we do year round. Like I
say, there's more more time, there's

722
00:47:30.079 --> 00:47:34.159
times that they're more predictable. You
know, there's certain don't we know for

723
00:47:34.239 --> 00:47:37.599
sure that they're going to be in
these certain areas moving through whether it be

724
00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:44.360
done then the Paris Parish area up
in Oklahoma area, you know, and

725
00:47:44.360 --> 00:47:47.559
of course you look like there's been
sightings up in Oklahoma's where we're in idabel

726
00:47:49.639 --> 00:47:54.519
op By where time meets east and
is the thing we've been challenged with in

727
00:47:54.599 --> 00:48:00.159
the very recent Like I said,
we planned a couple of yearly expeditions,

728
00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:02.519
you know, where we is a
big team in itself. I mean,

729
00:48:02.519 --> 00:48:07.400
we try to get everybody that's part
of us to go. You know,

730
00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:09.280
we always have big plans and a
lot of times on lass of people show

731
00:48:09.400 --> 00:48:13.480
up, but we always have a
great time, a great group of guys

732
00:48:13.480 --> 00:48:15.159
and gals and for the most part, you've got, you know, the

733
00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:20.719
youngsters and stuff like that. We
kind of keep them reel then, you

734
00:48:20.760 --> 00:48:25.920
know, and then these times because
we've recently noticed that we've been challenged by

735
00:48:27.760 --> 00:48:32.280
a different a different species of these
things than what we're know your southern big

736
00:48:32.280 --> 00:48:37.000
foot type to Patty talk big foot. Okay, this is where we start

737
00:48:37.079 --> 00:48:40.599
getting into what you hear more and
more of every day of these were wolf

738
00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:45.480
tup things. He's dogmen. We've
taken some pictures and come up with a

739
00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:51.159
couple of the's domen. But this
other thing, we have no clue what

740
00:48:51.199 --> 00:48:55.840
the hell it is. All we
know is that's extremely it's extremely violent and

741
00:48:55.920 --> 00:49:02.079
aggressive, extremely and kind of feel
and fear is that these things have kind

742
00:49:02.079 --> 00:49:08.280
of pushed our normal pat beefoot families
kind of pushed them either up further in

743
00:49:08.360 --> 00:49:13.119
the kind of she's or elsewhere.
You know, I've got a friend and

744
00:49:13.199 --> 00:49:16.920
I actually I've got him listening to
your channel. Now. He's very he's

745
00:49:16.960 --> 00:49:21.519
a very avid disappeared to listener.
Now. He listened to you every night.

746
00:49:21.960 --> 00:49:24.840
He actually writes his own he writes
books and in relations too. And

747
00:49:24.880 --> 00:49:28.920
I know I know he plans on
get in touch with you. But I

748
00:49:28.960 --> 00:49:35.199
know he had the first week experiensible
of these things. Was he almost got

749
00:49:35.800 --> 00:49:37.960
taken down by a couple of these
things. They were had it not been

750
00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:43.639
for the significant others sitting in the
vehicle, you know, fifty sixty yards

751
00:49:43.639 --> 00:49:47.480
away that could see the line side
she had she could see these two things.

752
00:49:49.079 --> 00:49:52.719
One was coming toward him and otherman
was flanking him, coming around,

753
00:49:52.719 --> 00:49:55.280
but they were on force. He
knew he knew the one was there,

754
00:49:55.280 --> 00:49:59.719
and he was backing out towards the
shoreline, saying, you know, if

755
00:50:00.159 --> 00:50:02.239
I'm gonna make it down here,
I'm going in the water and missus February

756
00:50:02.679 --> 00:50:06.719
two years ago. You know,
I think it back at him four years

757
00:50:06.760 --> 00:50:09.000
ago, and he was scared for
his life. You know, there was

758
00:50:09.039 --> 00:50:14.079
a couple of straight dogs down there, and straight dogs can let him know

759
00:50:14.400 --> 00:50:17.559
that something wasn't right. And then
that's when he caught a grint of the

760
00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:22.599
one on fours. It was on
fours and it was moving the high grass.

761
00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:24.480
Of course there was you know,
there's a lot of a lot of

762
00:50:24.480 --> 00:50:29.760
heavy brush and stuff through there,
but it wants to catch the top of

763
00:50:29.800 --> 00:50:32.920
the head because it was moving.
Of course, the significant other was yelling

764
00:50:32.960 --> 00:50:37.280
at him hey, there's another one
that's coming around your other side. And

765
00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:40.159
had it got around, if he
wouldn't have got on the shoreline and started

766
00:50:40.360 --> 00:50:44.519
being lining it back to the vehicle. But he might not have made it

767
00:50:44.519 --> 00:50:47.480
out of there because they had every
intention and he even felt it instead it

768
00:50:47.519 --> 00:50:52.480
itself they had every intention on killing
me, because I have no doubt I

769
00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:57.639
felt it. I know they were
coming for me, he says. I

770
00:50:57.679 --> 00:51:00.760
think it's because I got in.
She was already cranking the truck up all

771
00:51:00.800 --> 00:51:02.920
the time he got to it,
and they were peeling out of there.

772
00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:06.320
The dogs, he said, the
dogs, there's a cart there because there's

773
00:51:06.360 --> 00:51:10.280
no boat ramp. The two dogs
went under the cover and went he said,

774
00:51:10.280 --> 00:51:13.880
he washed them as they you know, they beat him to the truck,

775
00:51:13.960 --> 00:51:15.920
and they got up in the cover
and went up for a pretty good

776
00:51:15.920 --> 00:51:17.880
way so they can reach there and
get them. But he said, they

777
00:51:17.920 --> 00:51:22.960
got in that truck and no hall
buns out of there. In that same

778
00:51:22.039 --> 00:51:25.519
area, and my son and I
and one of his friends part of this

779
00:51:25.639 --> 00:51:30.079
group. Now, we went down
to the same area as you know,

780
00:51:30.119 --> 00:51:32.480
we've been going through for years and
years. And as soon as we got

781
00:51:32.480 --> 00:51:37.039
there and I shut the deck lead
of the car. I heard a very

782
00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:40.800
loud, loud, single tone call
come from the rod down the shoreline,

783
00:51:40.800 --> 00:51:45.559
as I would call it, in
the thicket area for twenty yards off the

784
00:51:45.559 --> 00:51:49.280
bank of this leg. We started
walking in, of course when I took

785
00:51:49.320 --> 00:51:52.440
them in. So we're gonna walk
the shoreline. We're not gonna cut through

786
00:51:52.440 --> 00:51:54.280
the woods. We're gonna walk to
the shoreline the whole way. So we

787
00:51:54.280 --> 00:51:59.559
went in there about, said he, five hundred yards, and then started

788
00:51:59.639 --> 00:52:04.159
hearing something big coming and moving through. It sounded like a big horse,

789
00:52:04.199 --> 00:52:07.599
amound horseback coming through the thicket,
and it came, you know, just

790
00:52:08.360 --> 00:52:13.800
the area covered such a short amount
of time or there wasn't any doubt or

791
00:52:13.800 --> 00:52:16.679
what it was. And then you
could hear something else to the east of

792
00:52:16.760 --> 00:52:22.119
it, running and coming from another
direction. I said, okay, guys,

793
00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:24.639
my son he knew kind of what
was up, but he hadn't even

794
00:52:24.960 --> 00:52:30.719
dealt with one of these. I
didn't want my first, my first experiension

795
00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:34.800
wanted to be be that negative either. I said, y'all, stay my

796
00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:37.480
hills, don't stop them turn around. So we walked out of there,

797
00:52:37.519 --> 00:52:40.559
and orse she could hear these things
and they were coming, but we had

798
00:52:40.599 --> 00:52:44.719
a pretty good jump on them,
and you know what, you and I

799
00:52:44.760 --> 00:52:47.239
had to walk through or around.
They just mow or like you know,

800
00:52:47.480 --> 00:52:51.480
three or fourint sapling. They don't
have to. They just go over it.

801
00:52:51.559 --> 00:52:54.760
They don't have to. They sweep
their arms across the clear paths as

802
00:52:54.760 --> 00:52:59.360
they're going through, and you can
see see the stuff moving up behind.

803
00:52:59.440 --> 00:53:01.280
It's like there's nothing to streams out
of the way. So we got to

804
00:53:01.320 --> 00:53:04.480
the car. We bolted. Man, we got out of there, and

805
00:53:04.760 --> 00:53:07.320
what's I called my colleague, I
tell them us the man, they're still

806
00:53:07.360 --> 00:53:09.719
there. I said, uh,
yeah, I was afraid of that.

807
00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:15.039
You know. Ever since then,
these things, it seems like they pushed

808
00:53:15.039 --> 00:53:19.440
her. You know what I call
our our friends and the ones we've been

809
00:53:19.480 --> 00:53:22.800
dealing with for years and years,
I pushed them out or something. I

810
00:53:22.800 --> 00:53:25.480
don't know what's going on there.
I really, I really can't answer that,

811
00:53:25.559 --> 00:53:30.320
but it buys bothersome to know that, you know, we don't.

812
00:53:30.320 --> 00:53:34.440
We're not getting to deal with the
same thing. You know where our most

813
00:53:34.480 --> 00:53:38.079
active places up there in Oklahoma,
and we got the same thing going on,

814
00:53:38.199 --> 00:53:45.480
but much bigger, much bigger in
size, and much more and uh

815
00:53:45.079 --> 00:53:47.719
in attitude. You know, do
you have any theory, do you have

816
00:53:47.760 --> 00:53:53.840
any theories on what's what's happening?
Well, I think personally, you know,

817
00:53:53.960 --> 00:53:57.800
some of the other guys can to
agree. I mean, whether it

818
00:53:57.880 --> 00:54:00.840
be from you know, I think
we talked about whether it be from a

819
00:54:01.039 --> 00:54:06.239
rogue or embreading or a shallow Jean
pool. You know, these things are

820
00:54:06.280 --> 00:54:10.440
forced to mate and or sometimes they
mate gets their wheel and you know,

821
00:54:10.480 --> 00:54:15.599
I think it's a bad traumazon here
there or something and you get a different

822
00:54:15.719 --> 00:54:19.679
different species. But well, we've
noticed that these have a little bit more

823
00:54:19.719 --> 00:54:23.480
of a of a smeut on which
which will you know, these teams talk

824
00:54:23.519 --> 00:54:27.880
about werewolves. I've seen a werewolf
whels. I think this is exactly what

825
00:54:27.920 --> 00:54:32.679
they're seeing. Monasty minasty is I
don't you know? And seeming years on

826
00:54:32.760 --> 00:54:38.079
these particular ones, like a dog
man, you can clearly see a muzzle

827
00:54:38.119 --> 00:54:43.239
their eyes in a couple of years. Uh, you know, al these

828
00:54:43.280 --> 00:54:45.760
I have not seen. It looks
just like the set squad, a massive

829
00:54:45.800 --> 00:54:51.159
head sitting on top of the set
of shoulders, master set of shoulders.

830
00:54:51.719 --> 00:54:54.320
From what we get from the waist
down, it almost looks human. You

831
00:54:54.400 --> 00:54:58.360
know, it don't have a it's
just like a person is. It's just

832
00:54:58.920 --> 00:55:02.880
it's kind of crazy, but of
course it's very muscular and everything. Well,

833
00:55:02.880 --> 00:55:08.119
I haven't really seen any years like
we had on some as photos of

834
00:55:08.360 --> 00:55:13.039
like Scott Partenter, you know,
he's got some pretty good features. Scott

835
00:55:13.079 --> 00:55:16.800
Garmers got some good steel pictures of
the dog men and stuff like that from

836
00:55:16.840 --> 00:55:21.159
the go pro when I was back
tape, so you know, we can

837
00:55:21.239 --> 00:55:22.920
go back and look at that stuff. But you know, this is this

838
00:55:23.119 --> 00:55:28.519
is something we're having to learning curve
for us because we really don't know what

839
00:55:28.840 --> 00:55:34.119
expected, you know, besides aggression. And right now that you know that's

840
00:55:34.119 --> 00:55:37.480
all, it truly showed us his
aggression. We haven't seen any type of

841
00:55:37.800 --> 00:55:44.320
i'd say friendly communication like from other
sad squastionably you know, the leading gifts

842
00:55:44.400 --> 00:55:49.000
and stuff like that. Just a
whole different, whole different creature, you

843
00:55:49.079 --> 00:55:52.320
know. And as I find out
more and more, I would definitely be

844
00:55:52.400 --> 00:55:55.880
in touch with you, let you
keep you updated on what we find out.

845
00:55:57.760 --> 00:56:00.840
You know what our resolve is,
you know what our plan is.

846
00:56:01.280 --> 00:56:07.280
That would be great, that would
be fantastic. I'm so interested in this

847
00:56:07.079 --> 00:56:12.280
that how I may start calling you
every couple of weeks and hey, what's

848
00:56:12.320 --> 00:56:15.239
going on? But you just feel
free to do it. Well, I

849
00:56:15.280 --> 00:56:19.320
don't want to bug you. I
hate bugging people, but um but I

850
00:56:19.440 --> 00:56:22.400
might. I might send you a
text or something and see what's going on.

851
00:56:22.679 --> 00:56:27.360
That's fascinating. We'll listen. We're
at we're at a minute seven or

852
00:56:27.400 --> 00:56:30.840
an hour or seven minute. Some
people say they could listen for two hours,

853
00:56:30.960 --> 00:56:34.519
but you know, YouTube creators,
we have to look at our analytics

854
00:56:34.639 --> 00:56:37.639
and what happens is on when they
go over an hour, your retention time

855
00:56:37.719 --> 00:56:43.920
drops way off. And what that
means is people start dropping off halfway through

856
00:56:43.960 --> 00:56:47.440
the video. And but will you
come back when I know you have a

857
00:56:47.559 --> 00:56:53.360
ton of more stories and events?
Oh? Absolutely absolutely, Yeah, We've

858
00:56:53.400 --> 00:56:58.360
got some few other things to tell
us on, you know, just we'll

859
00:56:58.400 --> 00:57:02.960
get into it at another time and
hopefully I'll have some better things to update

860
00:57:04.039 --> 00:57:07.360
you with. I mean, you
may go. You know, of course,

861
00:57:07.559 --> 00:57:10.760
scientifically is true without a shadow with
out there is one. And uh,

862
00:57:12.960 --> 00:57:15.320
you know, we realize that you
have to produce a body to do

863
00:57:15.480 --> 00:57:19.599
that. I'm not saying where else
we just want to go kill one or

864
00:57:19.599 --> 00:57:23.119
anything like that, that's not what
we're about. But to the scientific community,

865
00:57:23.360 --> 00:57:27.119
and you know, be honest with
you, I don't know if you've

866
00:57:27.119 --> 00:57:30.159
presented a body, if you know, it'd be hard to get us a

867
00:57:30.199 --> 00:57:31.880
scrutiny of that too, because then
it goes that I can't believe you get

868
00:57:31.960 --> 00:57:36.039
that. You know, I don't
believe you kill one. You know,

869
00:57:36.119 --> 00:57:40.159
according to some people, there's been
several of them killed, and which would

870
00:57:40.239 --> 00:57:46.480
make you wonder if people in the
scientific community have not seen these things and

871
00:57:46.679 --> 00:57:52.239
examined them. And there's some I'm
not a conspiracy theorist, but usually there's

872
00:57:52.239 --> 00:57:57.119
a reason, you know, these
things are kept quiet. I'm not saying

873
00:57:57.159 --> 00:58:00.239
I agree or disagree with it,
but there's a lot of people out they're

874
00:58:00.239 --> 00:58:02.599
saying they're killing them because they're nuisance. They're a nuisance, or they're a

875
00:58:02.719 --> 00:58:08.079
threat to their family and our livelihood. And I know, any any man

876
00:58:08.239 --> 00:58:13.480
with a firearm, if some kind
of animals, you know, rampageing at

877
00:58:13.519 --> 00:58:16.440
you, or you're gonna shoot it. And yeah, even if you don't

878
00:58:16.480 --> 00:58:19.760
think you're gonna make it out,
no, you're gonna start shooting it.

879
00:58:19.840 --> 00:58:22.800
You're gonna put the herd on it. Anyway. But uh well, listen,

880
00:58:22.960 --> 00:58:27.320
Rodney, thank you so much,
and you I really really would love

881
00:58:27.440 --> 00:58:30.559
to talk to you again and and
and I'm sorry it took so long to

882
00:58:30.639 --> 00:58:36.559
get together on this, but this
was fascinating. You're you've got that well.

883
00:58:36.599 --> 00:58:38.079
I don't know how to say it. It's like if I met you

884
00:58:38.119 --> 00:58:44.400
at the at the restaurant in the
morning at breakfast and we started talking,

885
00:58:44.480 --> 00:58:47.119
we probably sit there for three hours
just shooting the bull and oh yeah,

886
00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:52.239
they get the gable gears you go. So thank you very much. As

887
00:58:52.280 --> 00:58:55.920
there are any parting words or anything
you'd like to say before we sign off,

888
00:58:57.960 --> 00:59:00.000
Well, man, I've just done. You know. I really appreciate

889
00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:04.039
and respect what you do. You
know, I think you do a lot

890
00:59:04.119 --> 00:59:07.320
more for the biggest community and what
you give yourself credit for. I think

891
00:59:07.159 --> 00:59:12.360
by you standing up and doing what
you do, you know, you surpass

892
00:59:12.400 --> 00:59:15.199
a lot of people. Even though
you haven't had your own personal experience.

893
00:59:15.280 --> 00:59:17.079
I believe you may. I believe
you maybe a lot closer than what you

894
00:59:17.239 --> 00:59:22.199
think in your good time. And
I think one will reveal it steals or

895
00:59:22.280 --> 00:59:24.559
something. But uh, and I
appreciate you, and I know what I

896
00:59:24.679 --> 00:59:28.159
said. I told you this before, you know something I was listening to

897
00:59:28.159 --> 00:59:30.199
you every morning on the way in, and uh, we really we just

898
00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:36.280
really really respect what you do.
And so for everybody I've told you to

899
00:59:36.639 --> 00:59:40.880
told them about you and they really
enjoy as well. So you just keep

900
00:59:40.920 --> 00:59:44.960
on doing what you do. That's
nice for you to say that, thank

901
00:59:45.000 --> 00:59:47.760
you. I never dreamed anybody I
wouldn't want to listen to me. But

902
00:59:49.360 --> 00:59:52.320
it's just, you know, and
I just started this thing just as kind

903
00:59:52.360 --> 00:59:55.760
of a fun thing, and it's
gotten It hasn't gotten more serious for me.

904
00:59:57.039 --> 01:00:00.840
It's just it's taking me down a
rabbit hole of carry piosity. That's

905
01:00:00.159 --> 01:00:05.519
that's crazy. And I've had some
things go on. But what I try

906
01:00:05.559 --> 01:00:08.400
to do is I've had a couple
of a couple of things that I've never

907
01:00:08.519 --> 01:00:12.440
talked about, and because I don't
want to make this channel about me,

908
01:00:12.559 --> 01:00:15.239
I want to make it about the
topic and the story. And that's because

909
01:00:15.280 --> 01:00:20.400
that's what's important to me. The
minute person hosting a channel makes it about

910
01:00:20.480 --> 01:00:22.440
them, it just to me,
it just gets boring. But that's just

911
01:00:22.639 --> 01:00:25.840
me, So I try to avoid
that. Maybe some doubt there and they're

912
01:00:25.880 --> 01:00:30.400
just anecdotal kind of things. They're
no in your face type of things.

913
01:00:30.480 --> 01:00:34.280
But I appreciate you saying all that, and I'm glad you're thank you for

914
01:00:34.400 --> 01:00:37.239
recommending the channel to your friends who
are interested in the channel. It means

915
01:00:37.239 --> 01:00:42.679
a lot to me that people who
are in the in the world of Bigfoot

916
01:00:42.920 --> 01:00:45.519
approof of what I'm doing. And
I take a lot of crap from some

917
01:00:45.679 --> 01:00:49.480
people, but for the most part, people are really nice about it,

918
01:00:49.480 --> 01:00:52.039
and they understand my position. They
know where I'm at and I'm not,

919
01:00:52.519 --> 01:00:54.519
you know, I'm just I don't
claim to know anything. I don't know

920
01:00:54.639 --> 01:00:59.039
anything. I don't know nothing.
Man. All right, man, let's

921
01:00:59.079 --> 01:01:02.199
mind us up. I'll have this
video up probably in uh I don't know,

922
01:01:02.400 --> 01:01:05.840
maybe a couple of days, and
I'll send you a text when it's

923
01:01:05.920 --> 01:01:08.679
up. But Rodney, thank you
very much for spending time with us.
