WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Now one of your pudding. I got a stream going

2
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:06.120
<v Speaker 1>on here. Something just kid my dog. Something killed your dog.

3
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:08.960
<v Speaker 1>My dog. We're flying through the air over the tree.

4
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how it did it, Okay, Damn, I'm

5
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:16.120
<v Speaker 1>really confused. All I saw was my dog coming over

6
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:17.800
<v Speaker 1>the fence and he was dead. And once you hit

7
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:19.679
<v Speaker 1>the ground like, I didn't see any cars. All I

8
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:38.439
<v Speaker 1>saw was my dog coming over the fence. What are

9
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>you putting? We got some wonder or something prowling around

10
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>out here? Did you see what it was? It was?

11
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>It was standing up. I'm out here looking through the

12
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.079
<v Speaker 1>window now and I don't see anything. I don't want

13
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:04.400
<v Speaker 1>to go outside. Jesus, quiet, you better Hello, hit somebody

00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:11.239
<v Speaker 1>ann out there. Yeah, I'm woking right.

17
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 2>Hey, oh, hey, greetings. Thanks for joining me. Is Fred

18
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 2>in Alaska. Some words of warning. Over the last two weeks,

19
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.120
<v Speaker 2>I've had nine different people get a hold of me

20
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.719
<v Speaker 2>from everywhere from the yek Delta Bristol Bay down to

21
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:31.079
<v Speaker 2>the Kenai Peninsula. There has been an uptick in sightings

22
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:34.680
<v Speaker 2>near very picking places, so be aware of that. That's

23
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:39.599
<v Speaker 2>nine and two weeks from different people. Be aware, you

24
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:41.879
<v Speaker 2>just never know. What I wanted to share with you

25
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:45.599
<v Speaker 2>today comes from Adrian. Adrian is now in his seventies.

26
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:50.439
<v Speaker 2>This incident happened approximately fifteen years ago. He's a pilot,

27
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:54.280
<v Speaker 2>not a bush pilot. He's just a recreational pilot. Once

28
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 2>he retired, he started flying around in his plane, hitting

29
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:00.400
<v Speaker 2>everywhere he can, just recreationally.

30
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:00.920
<v Speaker 3>Well.

31
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Approximately fifteen years ago, he decided he wanted to get

32
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 2>a bear. He wanted a world class bear. He decided

33
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:12.039
<v Speaker 2>he's going to go to the Bristol Bay area large

34
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.520
<v Speaker 2>salmon returning, large bears, a lot of mature bears. So

35
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.680
<v Speaker 2>he ends up going. He lands near the Stuyahawk River,

36
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:23.439
<v Speaker 2>which is tributary to the Mulchattan. What ends up happening

37
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:27.360
<v Speaker 2>is he circles around. He sees plenty of game trails

38
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.719
<v Speaker 2>cutting through all the grass and stuff like that. Now

39
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.439
<v Speaker 2>there's not a lot of trees in this area. He

40
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:35.120
<v Speaker 2>picks this little small amount to land on. He's in

41
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 2>a little piper cup. So when he lands, it's fairly early.

42
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.680
<v Speaker 2>He had just finished gone from Platinum to Togak Togak

43
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.680
<v Speaker 2>he stopped and dealing him, He got fuel, got a

44
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:48.919
<v Speaker 2>couple extra supplies or whatever, and he had a buddy

45
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:53.360
<v Speaker 2>who was going to be coming and checking on him periodically,

46
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.159
<v Speaker 2>who happened to be in doing him at the same

47
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:58.639
<v Speaker 2>time he was refueling. So he talked to his buddy, said, Hey,

48
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:00.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm heading over by the Studiahiver. I'm going to be

49
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:03.280
<v Speaker 2>approximately in this area, So if you're going through there,

50
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:05.759
<v Speaker 2>stop by if you want or whatever, say hi, I

51
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.599
<v Speaker 2>check on me or whatever. So his buddy's yeah, sure,

52
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 2>Because his friend was just flying back and forth to

53
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Iliamna Lake Clark area from dealing him and nack Nick

54
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.960
<v Speaker 2>and all that, basically doing the small amounts are free

55
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.240
<v Speaker 2>to different little villages on the way or whatever. He

56
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 2>had a good time talking with his buddy. So he

57
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:24.479
<v Speaker 2>takes off and he gets up by the Stueyhawk River.

58
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.800
<v Speaker 2>He's seeing plenty of game trails. He saw a little

59
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 2>bit of caribou migration going through there, not much though

60
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:33.080
<v Speaker 2>he figured it was a tail in. So he found

61
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:35.919
<v Speaker 2>this spot and he lands. Initially, he's like perfect. There

62
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.919
<v Speaker 2>was a nice wind he was landing into and he

63
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:41.080
<v Speaker 2>could see off in the distance and according to the

64
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:43.599
<v Speaker 2>weather predictions that he was going to be socked in

65
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.360
<v Speaker 2>for a day or two. Adrian said when he got

66
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.439
<v Speaker 2>out of the plane and was strapping everything down because

67
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:51.080
<v Speaker 2>the winds were picking up a little bit as this

68
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.479
<v Speaker 2>system was moving in from the east moving west, he

69
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 2>kept having an odd feeling like he was being watched,

70
00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 2>and he was like, there must be some bears around

71
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:02.919
<v Speaker 2>what it is. So he gets all his gear out,

72
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Speaker 2>he sets up his little spot right underneath the wing

73
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.520
<v Speaker 2>of the little piper cup, just mainly for a wind

74
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:11.919
<v Speaker 2>block and stuff. And as he's doing all this, he

75
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:14.840
<v Speaker 2>keeps feeling like he's being washed. And Adrian said he

76
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.680
<v Speaker 2>a couple times to grab his binoculars and walk around

77
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:20.439
<v Speaker 2>because he's up on this little bit of a little

78
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:24.120
<v Speaker 2>mound a couple hundred feet and he's glassing around to

79
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.839
<v Speaker 2>see why he keeps feeling like he's being washed. And

80
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 2>just as he's getting done, he would check every once

81
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.399
<v Speaker 2>in a while because he kept feeling like he's being

82
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.399
<v Speaker 2>washed and it was really starting to creep him out.

83
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.079
<v Speaker 2>He never felt that way before, and he's been plenty

84
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.199
<v Speaker 2>of places. So he said he goes around to the

85
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.079
<v Speaker 2>front of the plane and he glasses out I believe

86
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:49.040
<v Speaker 2>it would be east northeast of his position. He glasses

87
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:52.360
<v Speaker 2>out with the binoculars and he sees his big brown

88
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.959
<v Speaker 2>movement a few hundred yards away, and he goes, ah,

89
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:00.920
<v Speaker 2>that's why I was feeling watched. There's a big old

90
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.439
<v Speaker 2>barrel over there. Lucky me, I'm here for bears. So

91
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:06.959
<v Speaker 2>he gets excited. He's like, all right, I'm onto something

92
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:10.040
<v Speaker 2>that I just landed. He does all this stuff, He

93
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:12.639
<v Speaker 2>sets up, and he decides, I got a few hours

94
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.519
<v Speaker 2>before the sunsets. I got time to drop this bear,

95
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:20.600
<v Speaker 2>and then I can skin it out tomorrow. He glasses,

96
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:22.839
<v Speaker 2>he's got his rifle ready. He's using a three thirty

97
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:26.360
<v Speaker 2>eight win mag He's glass around it. It's gone. He

98
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:31.439
<v Speaker 2>surmises that it's over across the way around these other

99
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.120
<v Speaker 2>small mouns. He could see that one of the trails

100
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:36.839
<v Speaker 2>cut up in there. So he figured, Okay, what I

101
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:40.319
<v Speaker 2>can do tomorrow is if it's not showing itself in

102
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.160
<v Speaker 2>the open I can go back up in there and

103
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.879
<v Speaker 2>maybe find him laying down or something. Which bear hunting.

104
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 2>I would always go with two, but teach his own.

105
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.040
<v Speaker 2>He felt confident. He had a four fifty four castle

106
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:57.160
<v Speaker 2>chest mounted pistol revolver, and he had a street thirty eight.

107
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 2>So he felt really confident that he would any problems,

108
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.839
<v Speaker 2>so he said. The next morning he got up and

109
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.879
<v Speaker 2>he was doing one of these little quick meals, one

110
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:12.160
<v Speaker 2>of these freeze dried contraptions or whatever, some scrambled eggs

111
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:14.519
<v Speaker 2>or something. He said, it was horrible when he was eating,

112
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.279
<v Speaker 2>and as he was eating, he was looking in the

113
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:20.279
<v Speaker 2>direction he had last seen that bear. And just as

114
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:22.240
<v Speaker 2>he was finishing up what he was doing and packing

115
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.839
<v Speaker 2>up his little stove, little Coleman single burner on top

116
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:29.040
<v Speaker 2>of a one pound count of propane, he's looking in

117
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:32.040
<v Speaker 2>that direction and he sees brown movement again, and it's

118
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 2>just off to the right hand side of the tallest

119
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:37.800
<v Speaker 2>mound across the way, about three four hundred yards. He

120
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:41.480
<v Speaker 2>was like, all right, good morning. So he gets everything

121
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:43.680
<v Speaker 2>squared away, he gets his pack, he gots his rifle,

122
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.800
<v Speaker 2>and he heads out that way. Now, when he drops

123
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.839
<v Speaker 2>down from the mound that he's on, he has to

124
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:54.000
<v Speaker 2>cross a feeder creek into the Stuyhawk River. He said,

125
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.120
<v Speaker 2>it was little marshy going through there, and then there

126
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:58.000
<v Speaker 2>was a bit of a deep spot, but he had

127
00:06:58.000 --> 00:06:59.839
<v Speaker 2>his hip boots on, and he was able to leap

128
00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:03.319
<v Speaker 2>a cross and make it through. And he was really

129
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.879
<v Speaker 2>concerned about making it through because when he got down

130
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:09.079
<v Speaker 2>into the brush line that's next right off the size

131
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:12.560
<v Speaker 2>of this little feeder creek, he got real soft, real fast,

132
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:14.879
<v Speaker 2>and he was real like, oh geez. He thought he

133
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.319
<v Speaker 2>might have turned back, but luckily he found a spot

134
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:21.519
<v Speaker 2>made it across. He said, as he came around to

135
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:25.680
<v Speaker 2>where it's basically three four mounds and there's a bigger one,

136
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.720
<v Speaker 2>it's like an islet the shape of the trail around it.

137
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:32.800
<v Speaker 2>As he's getting over there, he's checking for sign on

138
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:35.000
<v Speaker 2>the ground, and he said, the grass, the way it

139
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:39.160
<v Speaker 2>was laid out was real weird. It looked extra stomped down.

140
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:41.879
<v Speaker 2>It just something was off about it. And he kept

141
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:45.079
<v Speaker 2>seeing what looked like double bear prints, and so he

142
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:48.319
<v Speaker 2>was like, wow, there's there must be several large bears

143
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:52.199
<v Speaker 2>around here, so my chances are even better. He starts

144
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.800
<v Speaker 2>weaving back up in there. He gets up near where

145
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:58.439
<v Speaker 2>the first mound is, which is a few hundred feet.

146
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.720
<v Speaker 2>He's looking something off, so he decides he's going to

147
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.399
<v Speaker 2>start climbing this mound get a higher position because he's

148
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.560
<v Speaker 2>getting that uneasy feeling of being watched again. So he

149
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:11.639
<v Speaker 2>gets up there and he's looking on his back trail.

150
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.160
<v Speaker 2>He's making sure nun's coming up behind him, which is

151
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:15.079
<v Speaker 2>always smart to do.

152
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:16.160
<v Speaker 1>So.

153
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:18.519
<v Speaker 2>Adrian said, when he got up to a certain point,

154
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.920
<v Speaker 2>he froze, even though he hadn't seen anything. He froze

155
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:26.959
<v Speaker 2>because he sensed something off to his right about the

156
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:29.920
<v Speaker 2>two o'clock position. If he was facing twelve o'clock, it

157
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:33.039
<v Speaker 2>was at about his two o'clock and he stops. Out

158
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.240
<v Speaker 2>of the corner of his eye he sees very large

159
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:39.720
<v Speaker 2>brown movement one hundred and fifty hundred and sixty yards away,

160
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.159
<v Speaker 2>just like right over there basically, and so he says, okay,

161
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:44.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to take it easy, and I'm going to

162
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.279
<v Speaker 2>turn into this while I'm raising my rifle, and I'm

163
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:49.559
<v Speaker 2>going to be ready. So he clicks off the safety

164
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.120
<v Speaker 2>and as he's raising the rifle and he turns, he

165
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:55.279
<v Speaker 2>looks through the scope and he's getting his site pictured

166
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:59.039
<v Speaker 2>through that scope. He said. The first thing that stuck

167
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:02.080
<v Speaker 2>out was it was like he was looking at a

168
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:05.000
<v Speaker 2>cave man. He was in shock. He said, it looked

169
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:09.000
<v Speaker 2>like a caveman squatted down like a running back, and

170
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.480
<v Speaker 2>so he was like, what the hell. He thought maybe

171
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:14.039
<v Speaker 2>the meal that he just ate was giving him hallucinations

172
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:17.200
<v Speaker 2>or something, because he paused, it wasn't moving or anything,

173
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:19.759
<v Speaker 2>and it was up on a different mound, so he

174
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:22.559
<v Speaker 2>felt confident if it came at him, he had time.

175
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.120
<v Speaker 2>So he raises his rifle again and looks, and at

176
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:29.200
<v Speaker 2>this point this thing had turned and is quartering away

177
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:32.440
<v Speaker 2>from him on all fours. That was weird. He's a

178
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:35.120
<v Speaker 2>little bit shooken up by what he had seen. Initially,

179
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:38.559
<v Speaker 2>he said the face was that of a caveman like Neanderthal.

180
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:42.919
<v Speaker 2>The skin was very wrinkled, the eyes were beady black.

181
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:47.720
<v Speaker 2>It was so quick he only got a few real, lasting,

182
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:51.320
<v Speaker 2>ingrained memories of what he looked at. He said, the

183
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:54.320
<v Speaker 2>skin was very dark. Whether it was black or gray,

184
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:57.080
<v Speaker 2>he couldn't make out, but it's very dark. He noticed

185
00:09:57.159 --> 00:10:00.200
<v Speaker 2>a lot of wrinkles right with the black eyes. It

186
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.519
<v Speaker 2>was just haunting him. Wow, what the hell? And as

187
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.039
<v Speaker 2>this incorded the way, it went down behind this mound

188
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:08.399
<v Speaker 2>where he couldn't see it anymore, Adrian said. At that point,

189
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:12.159
<v Speaker 2>he said, eh, I'm good, I'm good. I'll go somewhere else.

190
00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:14.399
<v Speaker 2>He was feeling off about the whole thing. He thought

191
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:17.200
<v Speaker 2>he was hallucinating. He thought he'd better get back over

192
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:20.320
<v Speaker 2>to his camp, so he starts backtracking out of there,

193
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:23.080
<v Speaker 2>and as he gets back to the point to where

194
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:26.440
<v Speaker 2>he had initially saw all the double bear tracks that

195
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:30.240
<v Speaker 2>he thought were double bear tracks, he started paying more attention,

196
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.480
<v Speaker 2>and there was a spot in the mud where he

197
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.080
<v Speaker 2>looked down and it was a human type footprint, just wider,

198
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.639
<v Speaker 2>a lot larger. He estimated about twenty one inches, give

199
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:43.559
<v Speaker 2>or take, because he laid his rifle down next to

200
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.519
<v Speaker 2>it to gauge it. He was being shocked with that,

201
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:49.159
<v Speaker 2>what the hell, nothing's adding up at this point, he's

202
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.759
<v Speaker 2>not thinking about bigfoot. Harry Manner. Now that he's trying

203
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:53.799
<v Speaker 2>to figure out why in the hell he's so off

204
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:57.360
<v Speaker 2>that day, and he's concerned about his health. He thinks

205
00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:01.480
<v Speaker 2>he's losing it. So he's quickly back tracks his way,

206
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:05.080
<v Speaker 2>and as he gets across that little feeder creek, when

207
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.080
<v Speaker 2>he gets back to the spot to where he crossed,

208
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:09.200
<v Speaker 2>he gets across there just firing, and as he gets

209
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:11.759
<v Speaker 2>up above the brush, going up on the mound that

210
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:15.519
<v Speaker 2>his plane is parked, he said he got to a point,

211
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.960
<v Speaker 2>had to stop and turn right around and look, and

212
00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:22.639
<v Speaker 2>on his back trail, he looks back across and where

213
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.200
<v Speaker 2>he had seen that track, this thing was squatted down

214
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:29.360
<v Speaker 2>again like a linebacker, looking right at him. So he

215
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.440
<v Speaker 2>lifts his rifle just to get a look at it,

216
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:34.919
<v Speaker 2>and before he can fully get the scope up and

217
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.120
<v Speaker 2>get the field of view and the scope, this thing

218
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.200
<v Speaker 2>takes off back in the direction he initially seen it.

219
00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:43.840
<v Speaker 2>So again he's what the hell because he hasn't gotten

220
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:45.720
<v Speaker 2>a full on clear view of this thing, and he

221
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.440
<v Speaker 2>thinks he's hallucinating. So he gets back up to his plane.

222
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:54.679
<v Speaker 2>He's really contemplating leaving, and just as he's thinking about leaving,

223
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:57.720
<v Speaker 2>that weather system that he was concerned about starts blowing in.

224
00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:01.320
<v Speaker 2>So he's got a heavy crosswind kicking up so much

225
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.320
<v Speaker 2>so that he loses track of everything going on that

226
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:07.840
<v Speaker 2>morning with the hunt and needs to worry about his

227
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.679
<v Speaker 2>plane because his plane was starting to catch wind and stuff.

228
00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:14.080
<v Speaker 2>So he was mitigating that and he focused on that

229
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:16.639
<v Speaker 2>for a few hours, just keeping his plane safe and whatnot.

230
00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:21.039
<v Speaker 2>So once the winds died down a little bit, everything

231
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:25.200
<v Speaker 2>calmed down, he starts glassing again and he chalked up

232
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:29.519
<v Speaker 2>that morning to some weird stuff with the meal.

233
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:30.080
<v Speaker 3>He ate.

234
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.879
<v Speaker 2>This bear was acting weird and maybe it was disfigured,

235
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:37.399
<v Speaker 2>just explaining it away in his mind. So as the

236
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.000
<v Speaker 2>day carries on, no activity, dead quiet, he said, it

237
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:44.879
<v Speaker 2>was rather boring. As he sat there, right, so it's

238
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:48.759
<v Speaker 2>not too far from last light, and he sees movement again,

239
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:52.279
<v Speaker 2>but this time it's just to the left of where

240
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:55.639
<v Speaker 2>he had last seen this thing in these little mounds

241
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:58.840
<v Speaker 2>across the way. It was more over by this little

242
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:02.919
<v Speaker 2>feeder creek up the mound from there, and he's looking

243
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:04.840
<v Speaker 2>and he said, at this point it was about three

244
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.080
<v Speaker 2>hundred yards way and he's trying to get a look

245
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.799
<v Speaker 2>at it with the binoculars and he's not getting anything

246
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:13.240
<v Speaker 2>his spotting scope. Something had happened. He had bumped it.

247
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.639
<v Speaker 2>It was misaligned, so he couldn't see anything because it

248
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:19.159
<v Speaker 2>was like a double view all the time. The parallax

249
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.759
<v Speaker 2>or whatever was all messed up. He decides, okay, it's

250
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:25.320
<v Speaker 2>way over there. It's a good distance away. He was

251
00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:28.639
<v Speaker 2>estimating like three four hundred yards, and he was like,

252
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:32.320
<v Speaker 2>we'll just see what happens tomorrow. Thinks nothing of it

253
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:35.879
<v Speaker 2>because what he saw was a different color from his

254
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:38.120
<v Speaker 2>memory of the color of this last one he saw,

255
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:41.240
<v Speaker 2>which he said it was like a reddish brown with black,

256
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:44.360
<v Speaker 2>a grizzled kind of look, and this one appeared to

257
00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:49.360
<v Speaker 2>be like a lot more brown, reddish color. He said

258
00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:51.759
<v Speaker 2>he had a hard time sleeping. There was weird noises

259
00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:54.639
<v Speaker 2>he kept hearing, but he couldn't make it out. He

260
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:57.879
<v Speaker 2>would wake up to the noise like it was some

261
00:13:57.919 --> 00:13:59.879
<v Speaker 2>weird noise woke them up. But when he woke up,

262
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:01.919
<v Speaker 2>it was just fading out and he couldn't make out

263
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.720
<v Speaker 2>what it was. That's weird. He ran everything through his mind.

264
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:07.399
<v Speaker 2>I know what a loon sounds like, I know what

265
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.720
<v Speaker 2>a wolf poal sounds like. I goes through everything and

266
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:13.000
<v Speaker 2>he just he couldn't make it out. And he said

267
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.080
<v Speaker 2>that happened a few times through the night. So when

268
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.200
<v Speaker 2>he gets up the next morning, it's before daylight comes up.

269
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.759
<v Speaker 2>So he's got his headlamp on and he's trying to

270
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:26.639
<v Speaker 2>brook some coffee. Of course, he's got his four fifty

271
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:28.600
<v Speaker 2>four in his chest and he's got his three thirty

272
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.879
<v Speaker 2>eight with him arms reach. Every time he moved, like

273
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:35.360
<v Speaker 2>he said, when he got up to get the coffee

274
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:37.879
<v Speaker 2>out of the pack. He literally leaned the rifle against

275
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:39.919
<v Speaker 2>the pack, unzipped it. When he got to the coffee,

276
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:42.480
<v Speaker 2>he grabs a rifle. So every movement he did he

277
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:44.840
<v Speaker 2>had his rifle ready, you know what I mean. He

278
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:49.600
<v Speaker 2>said he felt off that second morning heavy. So as

279
00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:54.679
<v Speaker 2>he's making Bruna's coffee, he starts hearing noises just down

280
00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:57.919
<v Speaker 2>the mouth from where he's at. The brush he said

281
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:00.679
<v Speaker 2>was real wet when he went through there, he said,

282
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.120
<v Speaker 2>it is less than forty yards of just al there's

283
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:06.000
<v Speaker 2>willow brush and stuff. When he came out of that,

284
00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:09.799
<v Speaker 2>it was real flimsy, moist. It wasn't like it was

285
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.720
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of dead vegetation or anything. And he's hearing

286
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.799
<v Speaker 2>the movement down there, and he's, man, that's really weird. Again.

287
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.240
<v Speaker 2>It's still dark out. It's light on the horizon, but

288
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:23.679
<v Speaker 2>it ain't light out at all. So he decides he's

289
00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:26.600
<v Speaker 2>gonna he digs out his flashlight and he changes the

290
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:29.759
<v Speaker 2>batteries in his headlamp. And he had a fairly decent

291
00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:31.440
<v Speaker 2>one for the technology at the time.

292
00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:35.320
<v Speaker 4>And stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see. We'll

293
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.240
<v Speaker 4>be right back after these messages.

294
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:44.039
<v Speaker 2>Changes his batteries out. He's got a little brighter look.

295
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:47.440
<v Speaker 2>So he takes his rifle and his flashlight and his

296
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:50.039
<v Speaker 2>headlamp and he goes down over where he can see

297
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.360
<v Speaker 2>down the mount a little better and he hits the flashlight.

298
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:55.559
<v Speaker 2>He's not seeing anything, so he turns on the headlamp

299
00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:57.919
<v Speaker 2>as well, because the headlamp had a little bit of

300
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:01.039
<v Speaker 2>a broader beam. He lights up the area a little

301
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:05.559
<v Speaker 2>more and off to the right there's eyeshine and it's

302
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:09.000
<v Speaker 2>just down at the bottom of the mount, not that far,

303
00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:12.440
<v Speaker 2>he said. He doesn't remember exactly how far, because it

304
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:16.080
<v Speaker 2>all happened real fast. Eye shine. He kind of startles

305
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:20.159
<v Speaker 2>and he kills the flashlight. Handheld flashlight, drops in his

306
00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:22.879
<v Speaker 2>pocket and raises his rifle up and by the time

307
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:24.720
<v Speaker 2>he gets the rifle up, the eye shine was gone.

308
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:27.879
<v Speaker 2>He heard movement through the brush and whatever was there

309
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:31.200
<v Speaker 2>is now gone. Spooks him. He goes back to camp.

310
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:36.039
<v Speaker 2>He's nervously drinking coffee until it's daylight out enough, and

311
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:39.279
<v Speaker 2>he's very nervous. He said to go over that mound

312
00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:43.600
<v Speaker 2>and look. He just kept getting a sinking feeling. The

313
00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:46.679
<v Speaker 2>wind was calm, there was a slight breeze like a

314
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:49.960
<v Speaker 2>headwind coming towards him. So he's evaluating leaving, so he

315
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:52.600
<v Speaker 2>would have to taxi down and then come back to

316
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.559
<v Speaker 2>take off, which no big deal, right. So as he's

317
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.360
<v Speaker 2>contemplating what he's going to do, he's feeling very unwell welcome,

318
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:05.000
<v Speaker 2>he said. His reoccurring thought, which was real strange, he said,

319
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:08.240
<v Speaker 2>was that I shouldn't be here. I shouldn't be here.

320
00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:11.599
<v Speaker 2>And way off in the distance at this point, when

321
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:16.119
<v Speaker 2>it's light out, he notices an actual bear like way out.

322
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:19.519
<v Speaker 2>It caught his attention. He's there to bear hunt. Grant you,

323
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:22.200
<v Speaker 2>creepy stuff is happening, he said. But he was seeing

324
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.960
<v Speaker 2>maybe that bear he could take off land somewhere else

325
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:28.839
<v Speaker 2>and catch it the next day. While it's heading east

326
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:32.839
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. He's trying to reevaluate and move right. So

327
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:37.319
<v Speaker 2>as he's glassing this bear, he notices the bear stands

328
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:39.880
<v Speaker 2>up and the bear, he said, was at about four

329
00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:43.359
<v Speaker 2>hundred yards and the wind was variable at a certain point.

330
00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:47.480
<v Speaker 2>This bear, he thought, winded him. It stands up, looks

331
00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:51.039
<v Speaker 2>in his general direction, and drops down and takes off

332
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:53.640
<v Speaker 2>the way it came fast, he said, that bear took off.

333
00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:57.000
<v Speaker 2>He was like, crap, it winded me. So he goes

334
00:17:57.079 --> 00:17:59.519
<v Speaker 2>and by this point he had progressed over to the

335
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:03.000
<v Speaker 2>edge of this mouth that drops down, and he said,

336
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:05.599
<v Speaker 2>he caught with that variable wind, he caught the whiff

337
00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:09.920
<v Speaker 2>of something horrible. It smelled like rotten me body odor

338
00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:14.039
<v Speaker 2>and heavy urine. And he looks down and in the brush.

339
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:17.480
<v Speaker 2>He said, about forty yards a way, there's this thing

340
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:20.759
<v Speaker 2>looking at him. And he said there was no mistake

341
00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:23.039
<v Speaker 2>in what he saw because when he made eye contact

342
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:25.319
<v Speaker 2>with this thing just down the hill from him, down

343
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:28.559
<v Speaker 2>the slope, this thing stood up. He said, when it

344
00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:32.440
<v Speaker 2>stood up, he felt like his chest, his heart was

345
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:34.680
<v Speaker 2>just going to break his chest open, because he said

346
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:38.200
<v Speaker 2>it was beaten real hard. He said he froze up.

347
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:41.359
<v Speaker 2>His fight or flight just went haywire, and he was

348
00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:45.400
<v Speaker 2>halfway raising the rifle when he just stopped, and he

349
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:48.920
<v Speaker 2>said he was mentally stuck. He couldn't wrap his mind

350
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:51.480
<v Speaker 2>around what he was seeing down below him. He said

351
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:54.480
<v Speaker 2>it was like fifty sixty yards away tops. He said

352
00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:57.839
<v Speaker 2>it had to be. He's six foot coming through that brush.

353
00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:00.599
<v Speaker 2>It was taller than him. The brush. This thing is

354
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:04.000
<v Speaker 2>right on the trail that he went through to cross

355
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:07.000
<v Speaker 2>the day before or whatever. So he knew the brush

356
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:09.200
<v Speaker 2>was taller than him by about a foot or so,

357
00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:11.759
<v Speaker 2>and this thing, when it stood up, it had to

358
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:14.839
<v Speaker 2>have been over ten feet tall, at least that's a

359
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:18.400
<v Speaker 2>guestimation looking down at it, not having a perspective of

360
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:22.599
<v Speaker 2>it level. He froze, He freely admitted he froze up.

361
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:25.559
<v Speaker 2>He didn't know what to do. His thumb was on

362
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:28.519
<v Speaker 2>the safety of his rifle, just a little rocker switch

363
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:32.960
<v Speaker 2>back and forth, and he couldn't get himself to break

364
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:36.079
<v Speaker 2>three of that. He said, this thing stood there a

365
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:39.039
<v Speaker 2>few moments, looking at him inquisitively like a dog. And

366
00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:41.200
<v Speaker 2>he said, when it move its head, it moved its

367
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:46.200
<v Speaker 2>upper body like this. When it was sizing him up, basically,

368
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:52.240
<v Speaker 2>it let out a hllacious grunt, guttural scream. He said

369
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:56.559
<v Speaker 2>that was real low but at the same time high pitched.

370
00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:58.960
<v Speaker 2>He said it was the weirdest thing he ever heard.

371
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:02.799
<v Speaker 2>That snapped him out of his spider flight like stuck.

372
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:06.880
<v Speaker 2>He said, once that happened, don't run from predators. All

373
00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:09.759
<v Speaker 2>that stuff was right out the fucking window. He turned

374
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:12.559
<v Speaker 2>and booked it back to the plane. Now at this

375
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:16.319
<v Speaker 2>point he had been packing stuff up. There was minimal

376
00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:19.319
<v Speaker 2>stuff outside his plane. He tossed the rest of it in.

377
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:23.599
<v Speaker 2>He had some those little cinder blocks for peer pads

378
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:25.839
<v Speaker 2>for decking and whatnot. He had a couple of those,

379
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:28.440
<v Speaker 2>and rope for his tie dounds when he was flying

380
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:31.799
<v Speaker 2>remote just to tie down the wings or whatever. He said,

381
00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:35.519
<v Speaker 2>he just cut those lines on both sides. He didn't

382
00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:38.640
<v Speaker 2>give a flying rants ass. He jumps in. He has

383
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:41.200
<v Speaker 2>to warm up the plane. And he said, as he's

384
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:43.960
<v Speaker 2>warming up the plane, he's got his four fifty four

385
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:47.440
<v Speaker 2>out on his lap and he's looking in the direction

386
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.640
<v Speaker 2>of where he's seen this thing, right, And so once

387
00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:55.359
<v Speaker 2>he gets up to operating temperature, he immediately throttles, turns around,

388
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.880
<v Speaker 2>cuts back down. He tied some marker tape trail marker tape,

389
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:04.519
<v Speaker 2>the neon orange stuff onto his struts for his wings

390
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:07.880
<v Speaker 2>so he could gauge where the wind was boring. No

391
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.240
<v Speaker 2>grant you, he was gauging the wind before he fired

392
00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:14.000
<v Speaker 2>up the prop. Understand that he's not it you're going

393
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:16.319
<v Speaker 2>to fire it up and of course going to flat back.

394
00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:19.920
<v Speaker 2>So he had these streamers up to gauge wind direction

395
00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:23.640
<v Speaker 2>before he fired up, and so he had to taxi

396
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:26.640
<v Speaker 2>back down and then come back the direction he was

397
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:29.799
<v Speaker 2>camped to take off. He said. When he turned around

398
00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:32.680
<v Speaker 2>to taxi down, he was about halfway down taxiing, and

399
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:35.440
<v Speaker 2>he looks off to his right hand side. When he did,

400
00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:39.880
<v Speaker 2>he noticed movement off to his right hand side. He said,

401
00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:42.119
<v Speaker 2>it freaked him out. He almost over correct it. He'd

402
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:46.119
<v Speaker 2>throttled up, was bouncing along pretty damn hard, and didn't

403
00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:49.720
<v Speaker 2>know what to do, so he calmed down. He throttled back.

404
00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:54.200
<v Speaker 2>He finished his taxi, turned around and just got his

405
00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:57.119
<v Speaker 2>ale rounds, all that stuff set and just powered up

406
00:21:57.400 --> 00:22:00.279
<v Speaker 2>and just slowly built up speed, heading to towards the

407
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:03.240
<v Speaker 2>end of his mouth. He said, just as he came

408
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:06.319
<v Speaker 2>up and lifted off, he caught a nice little draft

409
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:08.880
<v Speaker 2>and helped lift him further up. He was going through

410
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:12.240
<v Speaker 2>his thing, he said. He got about three miles away

411
00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:16.359
<v Speaker 2>trying to shake off what was going on, so he

412
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:19.160
<v Speaker 2>decided he's going to circle back, which there's quite a

413
00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:21.640
<v Speaker 2>few powers that have done that, he said. When he

414
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:27.200
<v Speaker 2>circled back and started coming back, he was basically in shock.

415
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:30.680
<v Speaker 2>He said. He was shaking real hard. And if anyone's

416
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:33.200
<v Speaker 2>been on a piper cut les's literally fly by wire

417
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:36.400
<v Speaker 2>with your yoke and whatnot. It's literally by wire, so

418
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:41.039
<v Speaker 2>he's bouncing around, but it's his own nerves messing with them,

419
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:43.680
<v Speaker 2>and so he's happened to be flying back towards the

420
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:46.720
<v Speaker 2>direction of delling him. He said. As he was coming

421
00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:50.400
<v Speaker 2>back over the spot, he was looking down. He could

422
00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:52.880
<v Speaker 2>see where he had been parked, and he could see

423
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:57.279
<v Speaker 2>the cinder blocks one pair of him. The other ones

424
00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:59.720
<v Speaker 2>were missing, or maybe he didn't see him or whatever.

425
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:04.319
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, that's what happened with Adrian approximately fifteen years ago.

426
00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:08.440
<v Speaker 2>He said he felt fortunate that it didn't go any

427
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:12.920
<v Speaker 2>further than what it did. He mentioned that the feeling

428
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:15.960
<v Speaker 2>of being watched, that was his biggest thing. He was like,

429
00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:19.599
<v Speaker 2>when you share this, reiterate that when you're feeling like

430
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:22.799
<v Speaker 2>you're being watched, you probably are. You gotta trust your

431
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:26.119
<v Speaker 2>intuition in the woods, you just have to. I'm going

432
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:29.119
<v Speaker 2>to thank Adrian for reaching out. It wasn't easy for him.

433
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:32.680
<v Speaker 2>He hasn't talked to anybody. At one point, he said,

434
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:35.240
<v Speaker 2>he brought it up to his buddy, the other pilot briefly.

435
00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:38.519
<v Speaker 2>One time. He broke the ice by bringing up crazy

436
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:42.559
<v Speaker 2>stuff in the woods. The guy wasn't reciprocating any craziness,

437
00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:46.039
<v Speaker 2>so he just left it alone. Also a reminder, be

438
00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:48.599
<v Speaker 2>aware at the berry patches. There's been a serious uptick

439
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:52.480
<v Speaker 2>in sightings near berry picking places this year, nine within

440
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:55.200
<v Speaker 2>fourteen days. That's quite a bit for people to go

441
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:57.519
<v Speaker 2>out of the way to report. It makes you wonder

442
00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:00.920
<v Speaker 2>what's not reported, So be safe out there. What I

443
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:04.720
<v Speaker 2>wanted to share with you today comes from a couple hunters.

444
00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:09.799
<v Speaker 2>Now we'll name them Woody and Harold. Okay, So they

445
00:24:09.799 --> 00:24:12.799
<v Speaker 2>were part of a seven man group of hunters. This

446
00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:16.000
<v Speaker 2>was five years ago. This was the hunting season before

447
00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:19.079
<v Speaker 2>COVID kicked in. They had saved up the money to

448
00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:22.599
<v Speaker 2>go with a guide buddy of theirs. It so happened

449
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:27.319
<v Speaker 2>that Harold had his own plane. He doesn't fly that often,

450
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:29.720
<v Speaker 2>but he has his license and he flies enough to

451
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:33.319
<v Speaker 2>stay current. He freely admits he's not the top level

452
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:36.400
<v Speaker 2>bush pilot by any means. It's strictly recreational and he

453
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:39.480
<v Speaker 2>doesn't get much time for it. So Woody and Harold

454
00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:43.319
<v Speaker 2>agreed that they would come in on Harold's plane following

455
00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:47.680
<v Speaker 2>their guiding buddy, and so they came in together. They

456
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:51.640
<v Speaker 2>packed fairly light. Their guide buddy had a moose camp

457
00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:54.920
<v Speaker 2>already set up, and this is in the interior of Alaska.

458
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Asked me not to use the exact location just due

459
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:02.799
<v Speaker 2>to their guide buddy still operates in the area and

460
00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:06.720
<v Speaker 2>so on. So we'll just say it's south of the

461
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:10.559
<v Speaker 2>Brooks Range. Okay, they get there. They get there a

462
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:13.160
<v Speaker 2>couple of days after their friend had been there and

463
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:16.160
<v Speaker 2>things were set up. Harold had a hard time. He

464
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:18.559
<v Speaker 2>had to do the approach for the landing several times.

465
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:20.519
<v Speaker 2>Could you got to skiff on the water and then

466
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:22.759
<v Speaker 2>get on the ground. He wasn't well versed at it.

467
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:25.359
<v Speaker 2>He was really worried about flipping over and stuff like that.

468
00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:28.720
<v Speaker 2>So after third fourth try he finally came in and

469
00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:32.559
<v Speaker 2>committed and made it right. No problem. So they get there.

470
00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:34.839
<v Speaker 2>The guide buddy had already been there a couple of days.

471
00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:37.799
<v Speaker 2>He was getting ready to ferry a couple of clients out.

472
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:40.799
<v Speaker 2>They had other planes come in to pack moose meat out.

473
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:43.880
<v Speaker 2>He was telling them, hey, we had seen bears. There's

474
00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:47.640
<v Speaker 2>gut piles over here over there. Just be aware when

475
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:49.400
<v Speaker 2>you guys are out, be aware of those gut piles

476
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:52.359
<v Speaker 2>because there's probably gonna be bears on them. Fair enough

477
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:55.039
<v Speaker 2>would he experienced hunter, have been out in the woods

478
00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:57.279
<v Speaker 2>several times, this is not his first picnic when it

479
00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:00.440
<v Speaker 2>comes to going remote for hunting. Harold, on the other hand,

480
00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:04.880
<v Speaker 2>was a newbie. He had basically road hunted. Hunt from

481
00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:06.920
<v Speaker 2>the road, see something off in the distance, get off

482
00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:09.960
<v Speaker 2>the road and spot and stock and shoot a caribou

483
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:12.519
<v Speaker 2>that way or whatever, which hey to each his own.

484
00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:15.759
<v Speaker 2>So what he's explaining to Harold, Okay, I want to

485
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:18.799
<v Speaker 2>check out one of these gut piles. I have a

486
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:23.160
<v Speaker 2>bear tag this year. You okay with potentially hunting a

487
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:26.519
<v Speaker 2>brown bear, And Harold's sure, why not. We're out here,

488
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:28.920
<v Speaker 2>We've committed to this, so we might as well give

489
00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:32.680
<v Speaker 2>it a try if it's around. So they decide on

490
00:26:32.759 --> 00:26:35.680
<v Speaker 2>their plan of action. By the time they had gotten there,

491
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:39.119
<v Speaker 2>they really didn't want to commit to all out hunting

492
00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:42.400
<v Speaker 2>that evening, so they decided to do a quick scout,

493
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:45.519
<v Speaker 2>glass around, and then come back to the camp and

494
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:48.200
<v Speaker 2>commit right and early in the morning and get out

495
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:50.599
<v Speaker 2>there a glass, spot, stock, do whatever they got to do.

496
00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:54.480
<v Speaker 2>They essentially just wanted to find a gut pop, so

497
00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:57.079
<v Speaker 2>for that evening they did. They spotted the gut pile

498
00:26:57.160 --> 00:26:59.640
<v Speaker 2>there's some camp robbers and other birds around the pile.

499
00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:03.079
<v Speaker 2>So okay, it's right over there. We got it ingrained

500
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:05.200
<v Speaker 2>in the memory. Let's just call it a night, go

501
00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:08.400
<v Speaker 2>enjoy the evening. And by time they got back to camp,

502
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:11.319
<v Speaker 2>their guide buddy, who had already been there a couple

503
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:14.559
<v Speaker 2>of days, there was five guys when they got back

504
00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:17.720
<v Speaker 2>to camp. When they get back to camp, there was

505
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:21.640
<v Speaker 2>two planes getting ready to take off. It was the

506
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:23.920
<v Speaker 2>last of the moose meat. Before they took off, a

507
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:26.799
<v Speaker 2>couple of the guys parted ways with so now they're

508
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:29.119
<v Speaker 2>down to a total of about five people in camp.

509
00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Next morning, as they were getting up getting ready to

510
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:35.839
<v Speaker 2>do their thing, they're enjoying coffee and they're talking to

511
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:39.440
<v Speaker 2>their guide buddy. It was light enough they were getting

512
00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:43.200
<v Speaker 2>ready to take a few more of the guys out,

513
00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:46.200
<v Speaker 2>so they're like, all right, the hunters are going to

514
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:49.519
<v Speaker 2>be in camp, so they'll be around. Their hunt is done. Basically,

515
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:52.799
<v Speaker 2>they're just killing time waiting for their ride out. So

516
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:55.359
<v Speaker 2>their guide buddy takes off off they go, and so

517
00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Woody and Harold they get up on top of this

518
00:27:58.480 --> 00:28:03.960
<v Speaker 2>little butte looking down glassing this one particular gut pile well,

519
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:06.160
<v Speaker 2>when they get up there, they're having a hard time

520
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:08.640
<v Speaker 2>finding because there's no birds around yet. There's no birds

521
00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:11.839
<v Speaker 2>picking at it. So they decide they're going to walk

522
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.160
<v Speaker 2>downhill a little ways down off this little butte and

523
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:17.599
<v Speaker 2>go down and check out the area of the gut

524
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:20.240
<v Speaker 2>pile and see if there's any even bare sign. Should

525
00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:21.680
<v Speaker 2>we even sit here or should we just go look

526
00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:25.400
<v Speaker 2>for moose? There's basically, in essence what they were doing. Meanwhile,

527
00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:29.680
<v Speaker 2>they're making cow moose calls stuff like that, periodically scraping

528
00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:33.039
<v Speaker 2>brush with an old antler and just making moose noises,

529
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:35.000
<v Speaker 2>trying to see because they're there to moose hunt. The

530
00:28:35.039 --> 00:28:38.799
<v Speaker 2>bare thing came up. So from what he said, they

531
00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:44.119
<v Speaker 2>get about twenty ish feet from this gut pile. It's

532
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:47.519
<v Speaker 2>right near some willows. As soon as they get closer

533
00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:50.279
<v Speaker 2>to the willows rupt with activity and they can't see,

534
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:53.400
<v Speaker 2>but they see a darkness take off like low to

535
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:56.680
<v Speaker 2>the ground foon. It's gone. And it startled them because

536
00:28:56.680 --> 00:28:59.160
<v Speaker 2>this bright and early in the morning is daylight, but

537
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:01.559
<v Speaker 2>still shadow in the brush and stuff. So they were like,

538
00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:06.279
<v Speaker 2>oh crap, So they retreated back up the butte, decided okay,

539
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:09.960
<v Speaker 2>that sounded really big, let's back off. Let's let it

540
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:12.240
<v Speaker 2>come back, and maybe we can get a better look

541
00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:15.400
<v Speaker 2>at this bear and maybe we could fill that bear tag.

542
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:18.559
<v Speaker 2>So wood he's excited. He's, oh, man, I'm going to

543
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:20.880
<v Speaker 2>get this bear. And they smell the funny smell and

544
00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:23.920
<v Speaker 2>stuff like that, but again they're thinking bear, no, biggie.

545
00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:28.119
<v Speaker 2>They get back up the butte. Woody had a hard

546
00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:31.519
<v Speaker 2>time sleeping the night before because the hunters they were

547
00:29:31.599 --> 00:29:34.240
<v Speaker 2>enjoying themselves with some cold beers and their successful hunt

548
00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:36.880
<v Speaker 2>the night before they flew out, so they whooped it

549
00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:40.359
<v Speaker 2>up a little bit, and Woody didn't get the best sleep,

550
00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:43.519
<v Speaker 2>and so Harold said, hey, I slept just fine. I

551
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:45.680
<v Speaker 2>put in my earbuds and listened to an audio bi

552
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:48.480
<v Speaker 2>I didn't hear none of it, and so I got

553
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:51.240
<v Speaker 2>good rest. I'll keep glassing for this bear to come back.

554
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:54.359
<v Speaker 2>You catch a net what he's all for it? He said.

555
00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:56.640
<v Speaker 2>He laid back on his pack and boom, he was out.

556
00:29:56.680 --> 00:30:01.319
<v Speaker 4>Because it was so quiet, they tuned for more sasquatch

557
00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:04.359
<v Speaker 4>out to see we'll be right back after these messages.

558
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:10.559
<v Speaker 2>He says. As he was woken up just as the

559
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:13.839
<v Speaker 2>sun was coming up by Harold shaking his boot and

560
00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:15.880
<v Speaker 2>he wakes up to it, and Harold's giving him the

561
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:17.480
<v Speaker 2>motion like come here and look, come here and look.

562
00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:20.119
<v Speaker 2>So what he kind of shimmeys forward because he was

563
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:22.079
<v Speaker 2>up the hill a little ways with his feet just

564
00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:24.920
<v Speaker 2>down close enough for Harold to reach, he said. When

565
00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:26.680
<v Speaker 2>he got next to Harold and Harold handed him the

566
00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:30.799
<v Speaker 2>binoculars and was pointing, he looks down and he's looking

567
00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:35.680
<v Speaker 2>just past the gut pile and this thing, this dark,

568
00:30:35.759 --> 00:30:40.440
<v Speaker 2>shadowy figure was inside the willows, basically the same spot

569
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:42.599
<v Speaker 2>where they got close and it spooked it and it

570
00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:45.039
<v Speaker 2>ran off. So he's really trying to focus in and

571
00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:48.480
<v Speaker 2>he can't seem to focus on it. It's dark, he said.

572
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:52.359
<v Speaker 2>It was beyond the darkness of the shadows around it.

573
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:55.960
<v Speaker 2>It was a silhouette. It looked like a head and shoulders.

574
00:30:56.039 --> 00:30:58.200
<v Speaker 2>And Harold kept whispering, is that some guy in a

575
00:30:58.279 --> 00:31:02.480
<v Speaker 2>gilly suit? When the like, dang, why would one of

576
00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:05.759
<v Speaker 2>the hunters steal in camp come over here knowing we're

577
00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:08.000
<v Speaker 2>out to hunt bear. It didn't make sense for someone

578
00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:10.880
<v Speaker 2>from their camp, which was the only one around, for

579
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:12.599
<v Speaker 2>someone to be out there, and they're trying to think,

580
00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:15.200
<v Speaker 2>did we hear any other planes. They're trying to do

581
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:18.400
<v Speaker 2>the little process of elimination. Who or what is this? Right?

582
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:23.000
<v Speaker 2>So what he puts his hand up waves nothing, just

583
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:25.519
<v Speaker 2>dead quiet, and he's like, hey, starts yelling down there,

584
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:28.000
<v Speaker 2>what are you doing? You've ruined our hunt? So what

585
00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:30.279
<v Speaker 2>he stands up. He's pissed off at this moment, like,

586
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:32.720
<v Speaker 2>who the hell's this asshole out here? What are you

587
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:36.079
<v Speaker 2>doing squadding down by this gut pile trying to get shot?

588
00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:38.480
<v Speaker 2>He wasn't threatening to shoot him. When you're playing silly

589
00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:40.839
<v Speaker 2>games in the woods, you fuck around and find out,

590
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:44.720
<v Speaker 2>you don't startle somebody out hunting. And so he starts

591
00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:47.799
<v Speaker 2>chastising and yelling. Didn't even grab his gun because he

592
00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:50.480
<v Speaker 2>thinks he's dealing with some idiot. He's just walking down

593
00:31:50.519 --> 00:31:52.519
<v Speaker 2>and hill, just yelling. And he only went a few feet,

594
00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:55.319
<v Speaker 2>just yelling and making all sorts of gestures to the guy.

595
00:31:56.119 --> 00:31:58.240
<v Speaker 2>And he turns around. He's coming back up, and Harold

596
00:31:58.359 --> 00:32:01.160
<v Speaker 2>stands up real fast, right, and his eyes are huge.

597
00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:03.359
<v Speaker 2>So what he turns around to see what's going on,

598
00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:06.960
<v Speaker 2>and this thing had stood up. Now what he said,

599
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:10.880
<v Speaker 2>when this thing stood up, he was just down by

600
00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:13.680
<v Speaker 2>this brush he was just there. It was just about

601
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:16.880
<v Speaker 2>head height. Whatoody's six foot two, so he knows the

602
00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:19.119
<v Speaker 2>brush is about as tall as him. Now, all of

603
00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:21.960
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, this thing is standing up and it's almost

604
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:25.839
<v Speaker 2>twice that He's literally in shock. What the hell? And

605
00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:28.920
<v Speaker 2>this thing turns and is going from directly in front

606
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:31.240
<v Speaker 2>of him off to their right. So their camp is

607
00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:33.680
<v Speaker 2>off to that right too, but it's three quarters of

608
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:36.640
<v Speaker 2>a mile away. But this thing starts walking through the

609
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:39.000
<v Speaker 2>brush and it's just a little thin line of brush,

610
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:41.920
<v Speaker 2>and he got open area of muskeg and tundra and

611
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:44.759
<v Speaker 2>stuff back behind it, and there's tundra and a little

612
00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:48.079
<v Speaker 2>brush between them and this thing. This thing gets to

613
00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:49.599
<v Speaker 2>a certain point and he said it had to have

614
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:53.000
<v Speaker 2>been forty five feet As they're stuck staring like what

615
00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:55.400
<v Speaker 2>the hell, and Harold's holding what he's arm because he

616
00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:57.359
<v Speaker 2>grabbed his arm when it stood up and was startled.

617
00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:00.400
<v Speaker 2>And the only thing that Snappedoody out of it is

618
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Harold squeezing the hell out of his arm like hard,

619
00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:07.279
<v Speaker 2>so he breaks the grip. When they're paying attention to it,

620
00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:11.559
<v Speaker 2>this thing drops down to all fours, goes zig zaggy

621
00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:13.920
<v Speaker 2>back and forth and then takes off on all fours

622
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:16.640
<v Speaker 2>and it looks like it's just going right away from

623
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:20.079
<v Speaker 2>him fast. He said, it was moving out a clip.

624
00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Nothing was slowing it down. It was just gone. And

625
00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:24.519
<v Speaker 2>so they watched it for a little bit until it

626
00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:27.359
<v Speaker 2>just they stopped noticing it. With the little rises and

627
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:30.400
<v Speaker 2>falls of the tundra, he got these little divots and stuff,

628
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:33.640
<v Speaker 2>and it just was gone. They were in shocked sitting

629
00:33:33.640 --> 00:33:35.759
<v Speaker 2>there looking at each other and nervously started laughing with

630
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:38.400
<v Speaker 2>each other, and Harold's almost pissed myself, Man, what is that?

631
00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:42.400
<v Speaker 2>What is I don't know. They pack up their stuff

632
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:47.559
<v Speaker 2>and they make a hasty retreat back to camp. Right now,

633
00:33:48.440 --> 00:33:51.160
<v Speaker 2>a couple hours gone by since they left. It hadn't

634
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:53.599
<v Speaker 2>been huge expanse of time or anything like that, and

635
00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:56.799
<v Speaker 2>they were multiple hours before their guide buddy came back

636
00:33:56.920 --> 00:33:59.240
<v Speaker 2>with his plane and whatever else to get the rest

637
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:01.799
<v Speaker 2>of their stuff. And so when they get back to camp,

638
00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:04.000
<v Speaker 2>one of the two guys was up. He was a

639
00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:07.559
<v Speaker 2>white guy. They were telling him, hey, this craziness happened

640
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:09.760
<v Speaker 2>over here or whatever, and the guy looks at him

641
00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:11.880
<v Speaker 2>and he goes, you know what, my hunting partner. He's

642
00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:14.639
<v Speaker 2>a native guy. He lives outside of Bristol Bay. He's

643
00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:16.440
<v Speaker 2>getting moving now, let me ask him about it. He

644
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:20.159
<v Speaker 2>had mentioned something about a hairyman and so they were like, what,

645
00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:21.719
<v Speaker 2>they never heard of it?

646
00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:22.000
<v Speaker 3>Right?

647
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:26.639
<v Speaker 2>So this guy, middle aged guy, he said, native dude.

648
00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:29.480
<v Speaker 2>He comes out at the basket. I was shaking off

649
00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:31.480
<v Speaker 2>the little bit of drinking they did tonight before, and

650
00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:34.199
<v Speaker 2>he's sipping coffee and he's zipping up his coat and

651
00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:36.800
<v Speaker 2>stuff because it's chilly kind of morning. And they all

652
00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:40.000
<v Speaker 2>sit down by the fire. This native gentleman commences to

653
00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:43.079
<v Speaker 2>explain to them about the hairy man and things he's

654
00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:46.280
<v Speaker 2>seen and be aware because they had seen one a

655
00:34:46.320 --> 00:34:49.519
<v Speaker 2>couple days before the first day they got there. This

656
00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:53.800
<v Speaker 2>particular native gentleman had spotted it way off in the distance,

657
00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:56.320
<v Speaker 2>but immediately knew by its shape and how it was

658
00:34:56.360 --> 00:34:58.719
<v Speaker 2>moving it was a hairyman. He had already dealt with

659
00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:02.199
<v Speaker 2>stuff before. He warns them, Hey, from my understanding, we're

660
00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:05.360
<v Speaker 2>clearing camp today, So you guys need to be safe

661
00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:08.400
<v Speaker 2>if you stay here, because it's probably just after the

662
00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:10.840
<v Speaker 2>gut piles, and maybe stay away from the gut piles

663
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:13.440
<v Speaker 2>and go hunt across the way over here. We saw

664
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:15.599
<v Speaker 2>some bull activity over there, so maybe you can get

665
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:18.320
<v Speaker 2>your bull moose over there. Leave it alone. It should

666
00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:21.519
<v Speaker 2>leave you alone, kind of advice. Keep your wits about you.

667
00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:26.559
<v Speaker 2>And then in a way gave him an ominous premonition

668
00:35:26.679 --> 00:35:29.400
<v Speaker 2>of they'll steal you and eat you, is the last

669
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:31.559
<v Speaker 2>thing he said about. And then he laughs at him

670
00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:34.840
<v Speaker 2>and then commits his drinking his coffee and getting ready

671
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:37.079
<v Speaker 2>and packing stuff up, right, because they had to shut

672
00:35:37.159 --> 00:35:38.840
<v Speaker 2>down what they were doing to fly out as soon

673
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:42.400
<v Speaker 2>as their guide buddy got back. So Woody and Harold

674
00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:45.039
<v Speaker 2>just look at each other and okay, like they didn't

675
00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:46.559
<v Speaker 2>know what to do with the information, but they know

676
00:35:46.639 --> 00:35:48.679
<v Speaker 2>what they just saw. And it wasn't a freaking bear.

677
00:35:48.800 --> 00:35:51.480
<v Speaker 2>It was huge, and it took off. They had their

678
00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:55.320
<v Speaker 2>own plane there, they had their rifles. They felt relatively safe,

679
00:35:55.519 --> 00:35:59.480
<v Speaker 2>just uneasy about the unpredictability, the unknowns. They're like, what

680
00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:02.840
<v Speaker 2>the hell, and they're like, we're out here. It took off,

681
00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:05.679
<v Speaker 2>It was long ways away when we last seen it,

682
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:08.639
<v Speaker 2>and it didn't seem to be slowing down. So let's

683
00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:11.320
<v Speaker 2>go across the way and go look for this bull moose. Right, So,

684
00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:14.559
<v Speaker 2>by time they make it across the way, which is

685
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:17.880
<v Speaker 2>a good mile and a half away up onto this

686
00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:21.119
<v Speaker 2>other butte, and back behind that was some more swampy

687
00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:24.320
<v Speaker 2>muskeg area and some black spruce and some other vegetation

688
00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:27.280
<v Speaker 2>where they said this bull moose was hanging around. So

689
00:36:27.360 --> 00:36:30.519
<v Speaker 2>once they get up on that butte and they're glassing around,

690
00:36:31.199 --> 00:36:33.559
<v Speaker 2>they see the moose. They see the petals of the moose.

691
00:36:33.639 --> 00:36:36.000
<v Speaker 2>It's off at a distance, it's down just below the brush,

692
00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:37.239
<v Speaker 2>but every once in a while they could see the

693
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:40.599
<v Speaker 2>antlers move right, so they're like, oh sweet. So they

694
00:36:40.639 --> 00:36:43.719
<v Speaker 2>start doing their cow calls. They start brushing the brush

695
00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:47.599
<v Speaker 2>with an old piece of antler, just making this sound

696
00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:50.800
<v Speaker 2>and doing their calls, and this thing's not responding at all,

697
00:36:50.840 --> 00:36:53.239
<v Speaker 2>which is weird. They're in the rut, so usually they'd

698
00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:55.880
<v Speaker 2>at least stand up and come doing this little sauntering thing,

699
00:36:56.039 --> 00:36:57.960
<v Speaker 2>swinging their head back and forth, trying to figure out

700
00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:01.559
<v Speaker 2>where this female is doing none of that, so they figure, okay,

701
00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:04.360
<v Speaker 2>we know where it's at. This regroup down at the

702
00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:08.519
<v Speaker 2>bottom of this butte and circle around, keeping the wind

703
00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:11.880
<v Speaker 2>in our face, get a better line of sight on

704
00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:14.320
<v Speaker 2>this bull moose, and we could bag the moose and

705
00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:17.119
<v Speaker 2>we fly out of here today. So they're all for it.

706
00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:19.239
<v Speaker 2>The excitement of the moose hunt kind of clouded what

707
00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:20.880
<v Speaker 2>they had just seen, but he had it on the

708
00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:23.679
<v Speaker 2>back of his mind because what he said when he

709
00:37:23.960 --> 00:37:27.400
<v Speaker 2>was traversing down this butte, there was a couple of

710
00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:29.880
<v Speaker 2>times he got an eerie feeling and he would look

711
00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:33.639
<v Speaker 2>around and just chalked it up to jittery. He's jumpy

712
00:37:33.719 --> 00:37:37.280
<v Speaker 2>from what they witnessed a couple hours ago. So Harold

713
00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:39.840
<v Speaker 2>right behind him. They get down and they get a

714
00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:42.559
<v Speaker 2>line of side on the bull moose, and they're looking

715
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:45.480
<v Speaker 2>at it and just it seems off because they're getting

716
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:47.320
<v Speaker 2>a straight line of sight and it appears to be

717
00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:50.519
<v Speaker 2>looking right back at them. But every once in a while,

718
00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:52.159
<v Speaker 2>the way it was moving its antlers was like it

719
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:54.880
<v Speaker 2>had a tick. It was like the antlers were being

720
00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:57.199
<v Speaker 2>pulled to the side and then they'd straighten up, pulled

721
00:37:57.239 --> 00:37:59.599
<v Speaker 2>to the side, straighten up, And they can make it

722
00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:01.679
<v Speaker 2>to their something wrong with this. It had it been

723
00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:05.000
<v Speaker 2>shot by someone else, And so now they're like, oh, man,

724
00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:09.239
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if someone else wounded this bull moose didn't

725
00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:11.239
<v Speaker 2>know it was wounded. It run off and now it's

726
00:38:11.239 --> 00:38:14.159
<v Speaker 2>sitting here suffering. Harold is hey We can't just leave

727
00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:15.920
<v Speaker 2>it there like that. We should go check it out,

728
00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:18.880
<v Speaker 2>put it out of its misery, make a note of

729
00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:21.920
<v Speaker 2>it the area, and report it. If it's already been shot.

730
00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:24.480
<v Speaker 2>We don't know the condition of the meat. We don't

731
00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:26.559
<v Speaker 2>know if it's been poisoned. We don't know, So let's

732
00:38:26.599 --> 00:38:29.039
<v Speaker 2>just go check on it. Put it out of its misery,

733
00:38:29.880 --> 00:38:32.880
<v Speaker 2>no harm, no foul. So they make their way and

734
00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:35.320
<v Speaker 2>they were a good three four hundred yards from the

735
00:38:35.599 --> 00:38:37.719
<v Speaker 2>position of the moose. Where they were at the wind's

736
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:39.679
<v Speaker 2>blown in their face the whole time, and he said,

737
00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:42.199
<v Speaker 2>once they got what he had said, Once they got

738
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:46.280
<v Speaker 2>approximately seventy five yards ish from this bull moose, they're

739
00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:48.039
<v Speaker 2>thinking it's going to stand up at any among our

740
00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:51.599
<v Speaker 2>attempt to, because it appears to be looking every once

741
00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:53.199
<v Speaker 2>in a while. Is still the same thing the handlers

742
00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:57.159
<v Speaker 2>with twitch, right, he said. Once they reset seventy five

743
00:38:57.239 --> 00:39:00.400
<v Speaker 2>yard mark or whatever, they slowed down real quick, and

744
00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:04.119
<v Speaker 2>they cut him with something strange, and they were like,

745
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:06.679
<v Speaker 2>what is that smell? They couldn't make it out. He said.

746
00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:09.519
<v Speaker 2>It was like a heavy body odor urine smell, which

747
00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:12.320
<v Speaker 2>he had never smelled before dealing with moose or anything.

748
00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:16.239
<v Speaker 2>Like that. So he was very intrigued and cautious, especially

749
00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:21.159
<v Speaker 2>considering the morning they had. And so Harold starts nudging up, saying, hey,

750
00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:24.639
<v Speaker 2>do you see that what? He's looking right at the moose.

751
00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:26.320
<v Speaker 2>So he's yeah, I say, it's right there. I see it.

752
00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:29.039
<v Speaker 2>Harold's and all behind it in the brush. Look, look,

753
00:39:29.960 --> 00:39:33.119
<v Speaker 2>And so he's trying to look, and Harold had on

754
00:39:33.519 --> 00:39:36.079
<v Speaker 2>the binoculars what he had some in his backpack, but

755
00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:39.119
<v Speaker 2>he hadn't dug him out or whatever, right, they had

756
00:39:39.159 --> 00:39:42.039
<v Speaker 2>just been passing him back and forth. Harold passes them

757
00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:44.480
<v Speaker 2>the binoculars and he looks through. What he's not seeing

758
00:39:44.519 --> 00:39:47.320
<v Speaker 2>it what he's seeing the moose, and he's staring at

759
00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:49.280
<v Speaker 2>the tree, not seeing the forest, so to speak, or

760
00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:53.440
<v Speaker 2>seeing the forest, not the tree. So Harold goes and points,

761
00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:58.159
<v Speaker 2>he goes off what would be the right paddle of

762
00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:01.880
<v Speaker 2>the moose's antlers. Just be that, just straight back from

763
00:40:01.920 --> 00:40:04.800
<v Speaker 2>that from our spot. You'll see what I'm talking about.

764
00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:06.920
<v Speaker 2>So what he takes his time and he lines it

765
00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:10.320
<v Speaker 2>up and he's looking and then he sees it. He

766
00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:13.920
<v Speaker 2>sees something very dark but had a little more of

767
00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:18.480
<v Speaker 2>a like a cinnamon red tinge to it. And he thinks, oh,

768
00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:22.599
<v Speaker 2>a brown bear is on a dead moose. Score, that's

769
00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:25.440
<v Speaker 2>my bear. We got lucky the errors in our face.

770
00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:28.719
<v Speaker 2>That explains a funky smell. So he starts getting excited

771
00:40:28.760 --> 00:40:31.559
<v Speaker 2>about a bear. Harold, I don't feel good about it.

772
00:40:32.199 --> 00:40:34.039
<v Speaker 2>What is now will be okay. We're already in a

773
00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:37.320
<v Speaker 2>good position. Let's move forward just a little bit more

774
00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:39.639
<v Speaker 2>to get this thing to move out into the open.

775
00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:43.280
<v Speaker 2>So they move forward about another twenty yards. What he said,

776
00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:45.400
<v Speaker 2>and he gave a cow call, a moose cow call.

777
00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:49.239
<v Speaker 2>As soon as he did that, he said, this thing

778
00:40:50.199 --> 00:40:52.679
<v Speaker 2>stood up from behind the moose, and it wasn't as

779
00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:54.840
<v Speaker 2>big as the last one they had seen a few

780
00:40:54.880 --> 00:40:58.679
<v Speaker 2>miles away. This one, he said, was between six seven

781
00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:02.519
<v Speaker 2>foot tall. Real skinny, he said. You could tell it

782
00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:05.079
<v Speaker 2>had muscle mass, but it was real lean. It was real,

783
00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:08.440
<v Speaker 2>real lean, real shaggy looking, real haggard kind of hair,

784
00:41:09.239 --> 00:41:12.000
<v Speaker 2>and it had a lot of gray towards the bottom

785
00:41:12.079 --> 00:41:14.679
<v Speaker 2>of it. But the upper part, off the shoulders and

786
00:41:14.719 --> 00:41:18.360
<v Speaker 2>off the head was this reddish brown, kind of grizzled color.

787
00:41:18.920 --> 00:41:21.320
<v Speaker 2>He said. The lower part of the arms were real

788
00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:24.440
<v Speaker 2>dark as far as the hair. When it stood up,

789
00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:28.039
<v Speaker 2>it looked right at them and started doing this number,

790
00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:31.440
<v Speaker 2>twitching back and forth, and as they're staring at it,

791
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:34.480
<v Speaker 2>they're stuck again. This time Harold is freaked out and

792
00:41:34.639 --> 00:41:37.599
<v Speaker 2>he raises his rifle and points it in the direction

793
00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:41.280
<v Speaker 2>of this thing. Right as soon as that rifle was

794
00:41:41.400 --> 00:41:45.519
<v Speaker 2>pointed at this thing, what he said, because he watched

795
00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Harold lift his rifle out of the corner of his

796
00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:50.920
<v Speaker 2>eye as he was transfixed staring at this thing, he said,

797
00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:54.079
<v Speaker 2>as soon as Harold lifted that rifle up in that direction,

798
00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:57.280
<v Speaker 2>this thing dropped to the ground and they didn't see

799
00:41:57.320 --> 00:41:59.159
<v Speaker 2>it again. He said, he just dropped out of the way.

800
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:02.280
<v Speaker 2>They didn't hear a peep, a noise or anything, no

801
00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:07.000
<v Speaker 2>brushes moving, nothing. It dropped down and was gone. Once

802
00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:09.119
<v Speaker 2>it dropped down, he was in shock, and he was like,

803
00:42:09.159 --> 00:42:10.960
<v Speaker 2>don't shoot. We don't know what that is. We don't

804
00:42:11.000 --> 00:42:12.639
<v Speaker 2>know what that is. And he goes, it's a hairy

805
00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:16.079
<v Speaker 2>man whatever. He's repeating some of the warnings that the

806
00:42:16.199 --> 00:42:18.239
<v Speaker 2>native guy had given him a few hours ago at camp.

807
00:42:18.960 --> 00:42:21.039
<v Speaker 2>But we got it. Let's go over there, Let's go

808
00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:23.440
<v Speaker 2>over there. It wasn't that big. Let's go over there.

809
00:42:23.440 --> 00:42:24.920
<v Speaker 2>I think we'll be all right, what are you not

810
00:42:25.079 --> 00:42:28.000
<v Speaker 2>knowing any better? They get over right up on this

811
00:42:28.199 --> 00:42:31.000
<v Speaker 2>moose and it is half picked apart. He said. It

812
00:42:31.079 --> 00:42:34.480
<v Speaker 2>looked like pieces of the fur and skin were folded

813
00:42:34.559 --> 00:42:36.960
<v Speaker 2>back out of the way of the ribs. A lot

814
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:40.079
<v Speaker 2>of the innerds were already speeled out. The liver was missing,

815
00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:43.719
<v Speaker 2>the heart, the intestines were just stacked off to the side.

816
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:45.760
<v Speaker 2>So it looked like whoever was in there this thing

817
00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:48.840
<v Speaker 2>was picking and choosing what it was eating. And as

818
00:42:48.880 --> 00:42:51.960
<v Speaker 2>he's looking, he realizes it has no back legs, right,

819
00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:55.079
<v Speaker 2>the back legs are gone, and so he's just in awe.

820
00:42:55.320 --> 00:42:57.840
<v Speaker 2>What he's looking at just torn a power or moose

821
00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:01.320
<v Speaker 2>is just right there, and he's staring. And as that's happening,

822
00:43:02.360 --> 00:43:04.360
<v Speaker 2>they're hearing noise and they're trying to figure out where

823
00:43:04.360 --> 00:43:08.360
<v Speaker 2>they're hearing it from. So Harold looks behind them, and

824
00:43:08.519 --> 00:43:12.199
<v Speaker 2>this thing had dropped down out of view, and somehow

825
00:43:12.239 --> 00:43:16.639
<v Speaker 2>it quietly got directly behind he said. When he turned

826
00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:19.480
<v Speaker 2>around and saw this thing, it had the most curious

827
00:43:19.599 --> 00:43:23.199
<v Speaker 2>look on its face, he said. Seeing it out away

828
00:43:23.239 --> 00:43:25.880
<v Speaker 2>from the brush, it had to have been just below

829
00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:29.400
<v Speaker 2>six foot tall. His guestimation, because it's all happening a

830
00:43:29.480 --> 00:43:32.000
<v Speaker 2>lot faster than I'm telling you. But when he looked

831
00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:34.960
<v Speaker 2>at it, he got startled because it was something that

832
00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:38.960
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't be He said. The skin appeared to be like

833
00:43:39.239 --> 00:43:43.239
<v Speaker 2>almost black. He said, it looked more of a dirty

834
00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:47.960
<v Speaker 2>versus a permanent pigment. Right, it looked like it just

835
00:43:48.079 --> 00:43:51.880
<v Speaker 2>weathered dirty face said, looked more tan in the creases

836
00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:55.360
<v Speaker 2>and stuff like that, said for something that looked young

837
00:43:55.519 --> 00:43:57.679
<v Speaker 2>in the eyes around the eyes. It had a lot

838
00:43:57.719 --> 00:44:00.480
<v Speaker 2>of wrinkles on his face still, and it wasn't that big,

839
00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:03.400
<v Speaker 2>but he said, when they were looking at it, the

840
00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:06.599
<v Speaker 2>way it was looking back at him, he could tell

841
00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:11.440
<v Speaker 2>it was sizing them up. So at that point, Harold

842
00:44:11.519 --> 00:44:14.360
<v Speaker 2>had lifted his rifle again almost immediately, and this thing

843
00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:18.079
<v Speaker 2>didn't take off running, right, So Woody lifts his rifle

844
00:44:18.079 --> 00:44:19.840
<v Speaker 2>because they don't know what this thing is going to do.

845
00:44:20.199 --> 00:44:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Now.

846
00:44:21.519 --> 00:44:24.079
<v Speaker 2>For Woody, it was really hard explaining this part because

847
00:44:24.239 --> 00:44:27.920
<v Speaker 2>he said he felt like he was violating something by

848
00:44:28.039 --> 00:44:30.400
<v Speaker 2>raising the rifle. He felt like he was in the wrong,

849
00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:33.119
<v Speaker 2>and Harold was so freaked out he didn't give a

850
00:44:33.199 --> 00:44:36.000
<v Speaker 2>damn right. And so what he said when he got

851
00:44:36.079 --> 00:44:39.840
<v Speaker 2>a beat on this thing, it showed its teeth and

852
00:44:39.960 --> 00:44:42.440
<v Speaker 2>then got up on two feet because it was hunched

853
00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:44.679
<v Speaker 2>down like it was about to start doing pushups or something.

854
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:47.079
<v Speaker 2>When they first saw it, he said, when it stood

855
00:44:47.159 --> 00:44:50.159
<v Speaker 2>up and walked off, it did very similar to the

856
00:44:50.239 --> 00:44:53.400
<v Speaker 2>one they saw earlier that day in the morning. It

857
00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:56.320
<v Speaker 2>walked off about forty yards, dropped down to all fours,

858
00:44:56.559 --> 00:45:01.679
<v Speaker 2>and just gone, just hauling butt on all fours. He

859
00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:05.840
<v Speaker 2>said he had never seen anything look so awkward moving

860
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:09.320
<v Speaker 2>but yet move so fast. He said the hips gyrated,

861
00:45:09.519 --> 00:45:12.119
<v Speaker 2>rotting around and stuff, and he said it was gone.

862
00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:15.679
<v Speaker 2>Once that happened, he would he said, I'm done. Harold

863
00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:19.079
<v Speaker 2>was like, I'm done, screw this, let's go. They get

864
00:45:19.199 --> 00:45:22.480
<v Speaker 2>back to camp. His guide buddy hadn't made it back yet,

865
00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:24.159
<v Speaker 2>and they told the native dude what happened. And the

866
00:45:24.280 --> 00:45:26.920
<v Speaker 2>native guy just nodded acknowledgment and was like, yeah, you

867
00:45:27.039 --> 00:45:30.719
<v Speaker 2>gotta be careful. The other hunting buddy was this already serious?

868
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:32.599
<v Speaker 2>Are you guys messing with us? What's the point of this?

869
00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:34.719
<v Speaker 2>And they're telling them, look, this is what happened. We're

870
00:45:34.719 --> 00:45:37.639
<v Speaker 2>getting the hell out of here. So what they ended

871
00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:40.800
<v Speaker 2>up doing is packing up their stuff. So they got

872
00:45:40.880 --> 00:45:45.360
<v Speaker 2>packed up relatively quickly. They had Harold's planeloaded and they

873
00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:47.440
<v Speaker 2>had it turned around for taxi for takeoff.

874
00:45:47.519 --> 00:45:47.639
<v Speaker 3>Right.

875
00:45:47.679 --> 00:45:50.079
<v Speaker 2>They were just waiting for the right wind because at

876
00:45:50.119 --> 00:45:52.159
<v Speaker 2>this point to take off they got a tailwind, so

877
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:54.840
<v Speaker 2>they can't take off into a tailwind, so they're tuck

878
00:45:54.960 --> 00:45:57.760
<v Speaker 2>back waiting for the wind to shift. Harold had already

879
00:45:57.800 --> 00:45:59.840
<v Speaker 2>went through the motions, warmed up the motor, so he

880
00:46:00.119 --> 00:46:02.039
<v Speaker 2>was ready. He could just fire up and be ready

881
00:46:02.119 --> 00:46:05.719
<v Speaker 2>to take off. As that's going on, their guide buddy

882
00:46:05.800 --> 00:46:09.400
<v Speaker 2>comes in and lands right, so Harold let's whitty out

883
00:46:09.599 --> 00:46:11.480
<v Speaker 2>what He crawls out from behind the backseat of the

884
00:46:11.519 --> 00:46:14.840
<v Speaker 2>super cub, crawls runs over there, tells his guide buddy

885
00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:17.039
<v Speaker 2>what's going on. As guy buddy he could tell was

886
00:46:17.280 --> 00:46:20.360
<v Speaker 2>just like what tell me about it later, and he goes, look,

887
00:46:20.360 --> 00:46:22.119
<v Speaker 2>we're just waiting for the wind to change and we're

888
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:24.920
<v Speaker 2>out of here. The guy buddy lets him know, Hey,

889
00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:27.239
<v Speaker 2>there's no other planes coming in, so when you guys

890
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:30.519
<v Speaker 2>get your wind, feel free. What they had done is

891
00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:34.559
<v Speaker 2>they had taken basically an old pole and they'd stuck

892
00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:36.920
<v Speaker 2>it in the ground and kept it upright with rocks,

893
00:46:36.920 --> 00:46:38.920
<v Speaker 2>and it had streamer tape on it, which is a

894
00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:42.039
<v Speaker 2>common thing, trail marker tape. It's lightweight and you'll pick

895
00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:43.880
<v Speaker 2>up the direction of the wind right. So as soon

896
00:46:43.920 --> 00:46:47.440
<v Speaker 2>as that wind change happened, Harold fired up and they

897
00:46:47.519 --> 00:46:50.280
<v Speaker 2>flew out of there. He said. Once they got up

898
00:46:50.320 --> 00:46:53.360
<v Speaker 2>to elevation. What he was like, let's go see if

899
00:46:53.400 --> 00:46:55.280
<v Speaker 2>we could spot them. Let's go see if we could

900
00:46:55.280 --> 00:46:58.159
<v Speaker 2>take a look at these things. Harold wasn't having none

901
00:46:58.199 --> 00:46:59.920
<v Speaker 2>of it. He goes, I got enough fuel to get home.

902
00:47:00.480 --> 00:47:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Just left it at that. I want to thank Woody

903
00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:05.480
<v Speaker 2>and Harold. Harold I talked to briefly. He really didn't

904
00:47:05.480 --> 00:47:07.920
<v Speaker 2>want to talk much about it. Woody, I appreciate you.

905
00:47:08.559 --> 00:47:10.559
<v Speaker 2>I want to thank you guys for joining me today.

906
00:47:11.199 --> 00:47:14.760
<v Speaker 2>We'll catch you here in the very near future. They say,

907
00:47:15.039 --> 00:47:18.920
<v Speaker 2>you don't gotta go home, but you can't stay.

908
00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to be.

909
00:47:27.039 --> 00:47:27.920
<v Speaker 2>World out it.

910
00:47:50.599 --> 00:48:02.840
