1
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: At a stop to exprest.

2
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 2: Hey, everybody, we're live. I'm hoping everybody's here and we

3
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,359
made it to the chat. I'm gonna jump into the

4
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,799
YouTube and see who's here. I hope everybody's doing well.

5
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,640
I had a couple of technical difficulties. Sorry for being late.

6
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,200
I just I want to say hi, and I hope

7
00:01:37,239 --> 00:01:41,879
everybody's doing good tonight. So let's get started. Who's uh?

8
00:01:42,599 --> 00:01:48,319
Who's going to be the first audience member that wants

9
00:01:48,319 --> 00:01:54,840
to ask something? Anybody want to say hi? Even? Let

10
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,200
me jump into the chat here and say hi, we're

11
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,599
live tonight. How do you every wantn't ask me anything?

12
00:02:03,799 --> 00:02:18,479
And I'm all yours, I'm all ears cool. It's pretty

13
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,879
quiet in the chat crickets, Hey, Matt, how are you doing?

14
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,560
Thanks for joining. I'm excited to see you here. I

15
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:30,360
know we're just getting started. I'm a couple of minutes late,

16
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,360
so I probably lost some folks. They probably didn't think

17
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,319
I was coming on. So Matt, where are you calling

18
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:50,520
in from? Where are you watching from? I'm doing good.

19
00:02:50,759 --> 00:02:54,240
I'm doing good. It's been a crazy weekend. I'm glad

20
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,639
just to sit down and relax and chat with everyone tonight.

21
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:00,919
Seems like it's going to start off pretty slow, so

22
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:07,319
it's not a bad thing. Let's see, we've got a

23
00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:12,800
few more people watching print. Wow, Okanagan. All right, I

24
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,719
work with a bunch of Canadians, so that's pretty cool. Oh, Steve,

25
00:03:18,039 --> 00:03:20,560
let's put that in the chat. Steve's starting off with

26
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:27,919
the the heavy, heavy material. All right, Steve, and then Carl,

27
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000
I'll get to you. I see your questions. So Steve

28
00:03:31,039 --> 00:03:34,199
wants to know what my take on the WU aspect is.

29
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,560
And I think I've said this before. I don't necessarily

30
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:44,039
want to dismiss the WU side of things, but my approach,

31
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,039
at least with the Bigfoot mapping project and the way

32
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,479
that I'm trying to analyze data, is as if Bigfoot

33
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,639
is a biological, flesh and blood creature. However, that said,

34
00:04:02,439 --> 00:04:06,280
if there are reports or evidence that show up in

35
00:04:06,759 --> 00:04:10,159
the database, I don't call those out. I don't filter

36
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,159
them out. I am following and I will follow where

37
00:04:13,159 --> 00:04:16,399
the evidence and data leads. But so far, I mean, honestly,

38
00:04:16,439 --> 00:04:20,800
at least in the database that I've got, I haven't

39
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,800
really seen too much. Will reported if you will, I

40
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,319
don't know how else to say it. I don't get

41
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,439
a lot of ORB reports. I don't get a lot

42
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:37,600
of teleporting or mind speak or any of that kind

43
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,279
of stuff. I really don't get that. So I think

44
00:04:41,879 --> 00:04:46,360
so far I haven't been swayed to believe that Bigfoot

45
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:49,759
is supernatural. I'm not saying I won't be. I'm not

46
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,800
saying I'm closed to that. However, I think there's a

47
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,160
lot of evidence that points to Bigfoot being a flesh

48
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,800
and blood creature. So that's where I sit right now,

49
00:04:58,879 --> 00:05:01,399
and that's how I appro things, and that's I think

50
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,920
pretty reasonable based on what I've gathered in evidence. Now,

51
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,600
I've heard one off reports about those things happening, But

52
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,560
are they very verifiable?

53
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: No?

54
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: Are they reported frequently, at least in what I'm capturing. No.

55
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:22,199
So I think that's hopefully not a controversial answer. I

56
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,360
hope I don't disappoint people, but that's where I sit

57
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,279
at the moment. And again, not to say that I

58
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,279
couldn't be swede or that I will dismiss or delete

59
00:05:31,399 --> 00:05:36,879
or remove things. No, but I don't see those things

60
00:05:36,879 --> 00:05:41,480
happening in the reports that I receive. So with that said,

61
00:05:41,519 --> 00:05:44,000
I also think you get what you ask for. There's

62
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,000
a lot of people and researchers out there that really

63
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,399
focus on the WU and if that's all you focused on,

64
00:05:49,439 --> 00:05:51,560
that's all you're going to see. So I try to

65
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,639
keep it open and really let the evidence and data

66
00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:00,360
speak for itself. Steve Hope that answers your question. Shouldn't

67
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,839
fel free to ask more. Next I said, I get

68
00:06:04,879 --> 00:06:08,759
to Carl, Carl, do you have a map all? I like,

69
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,439
what kind of cigar is that in your profile picture there?

70
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,319
I'm a little jealous. I wish I could be talking

71
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,000
to you over a nice cigar, maybe a little bit

72
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,279
of brandy. But do you have a map of Connecticut

73
00:06:19,319 --> 00:06:23,040
sightings Connecticut bigfoot research? Carl? Yes, Carl, as a matter

74
00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:26,519
of fact, I do, and there's actually a few ways

75
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,759
to get there. So what I'm going to do is

76
00:06:31,879 --> 00:06:36,639
go ahead and get to two things. There's two ways

77
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:40,279
to see what I've got a map of. So the

78
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:45,560
first one is I'm going to share my screen. Let's

79
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,720
see share a screen and we're going to do the

80
00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:53,199
entire screen over here. Where's the map? Screen two? Three,

81
00:06:53,399 --> 00:06:58,399
screen three, We're going to share. So yes, Carol, let

82
00:06:58,439 --> 00:07:00,720
me know if you can see this. But we've got

83
00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:04,920
a map of all the Connecticut sightings that have been reported,

84
00:07:05,439 --> 00:07:08,560
and you'll notice as I zoom in, what I've done

85
00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:14,040
is symbolize those sightings as hotspots. So at first you're

86
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,160
going to see basically a hot spot displaying the map.

87
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,639
That'll show how closely sightings are grouped, and the closer

88
00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:23,839
they are, the more they are, the hotter it looks, right,

89
00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:27,519
But as you zoom in, you'll start to see them

90
00:07:27,519 --> 00:07:29,920
appear in the map. Right. So, yeah, we've got quite

91
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,160
a bit of sightings in Connecticut.

92
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:32,399
Speaker 3: There.

93
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,839
Speaker 2: The green ones on the map are John Green sightings

94
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,560
and then the others. As you zoom in, you'll notice

95
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,079
that there are different colors, and if you want to

96
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,000
know what they are, I get this question a lot.

97
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,000
People don't often see the buttons I've got up top here,

98
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,360
but if you want to know what you're looking in

99
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,560
the map, I do include a legend here, right, So

100
00:07:55,279 --> 00:07:56,759
while we're looking at this, I think it's a good

101
00:07:56,759 --> 00:07:59,480
time to talk about that. If you're zoomed out and

102
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,959
you see these neon colored points in the map, you'll

103
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,560
have orange, green, blue. So orange bright orange occurred in

104
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,800
the last seven days. Let's see if there's one I

105
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,759
don't see one in the United States. Okay, green, last

106
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,639
forty eight hours it was reported. That doesn't mean it occurred.

107
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:23,959
And then blue was reported in the last ten days,

108
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,680
again does not mean it occurred. If you go down

109
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,800
the list in the legend, you've got the yellow dots

110
00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:37,240
yellow points, which are worldwide sightings contributed by Carrie kil murray.

111
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:42,440
And then we've got some hot spot symbology. It just

112
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,919
explains the colors and what they mean in the different

113
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,639
hotspots that you see, and then as you zoom in,

114
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,240
the legend will expand to show you what else is

115
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:55,200
in the map. Right, So we've got USGS trail locations,

116
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,879
new sightings are red that were reported after the BMP

117
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,759
started twenty twenty. And then we've got a historical database

118
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:10,120
from Manjhani's historical Bigfoot sightings that include yellow bigfoot for siting,

119
00:09:10,159 --> 00:09:12,480
a green speaker for an audible, a blue track for

120
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,519
a track sign, or an orange if the type of

121
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,000
report was not defined. And then as you zoom in,

122
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,360
there's a ton of other data that I've included all

123
00:09:21,399 --> 00:09:25,720
over all over the map. So again, a very nice

124
00:09:25,759 --> 00:09:28,919
tool to have is the legend. Right, A map's not

125
00:09:29,039 --> 00:09:32,759
really good unless you know what you're looking at. And

126
00:09:32,799 --> 00:09:35,639
then the second thing, like I said, there was two things.

127
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:40,480
Another way to see what I've got is way down

128
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:46,399
scroll through my Instagram. Shameless scrolling here. But I've done

129
00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:50,879
the Bigfoot byways for almost every state, and I believe

130
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,720
I've made a map of Connecticut here we are, so yes.

131
00:09:54,879 --> 00:10:00,919
I've also taken least cost pathways wildlife cord between high

132
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,600
conservation areas and pulled out those paths in almost every

133
00:10:06,639 --> 00:10:11,240
state and intersected them with the Bigfoot sightings and reports

134
00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:14,679
in that state, so we actually know maybe we can

135
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,279
link two sitings together by a least cost pathway or

136
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:21,399
a corridor that Bigfoot might have traveled. Right. So there's

137
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,159
a lot of different information that I've got on the

138
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,639
Instagram and in the interactive map, and I hope that

139
00:10:26,639 --> 00:10:29,080
that really helps you. If there's something you have I

140
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,799
would like to see, by all means, now's your time,

141
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,480
please let me know. But I really hope that helps

142
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,159
There's a lot of good information on this map when

143
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:43,120
you click through. Let's see who else is here, Carl,

144
00:10:43,639 --> 00:10:49,559
that was a great question I've answered, Steve Lee. Are

145
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:54,399
you interested in speaking at conferences? Very Actually, I think

146
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,919
I've reached a point. That's a great question, Lee and

147
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,960
good timing. Actually, I've talked with a few people here

148
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,080
and there that have asked me to speak. In fact,

149
00:11:05,159 --> 00:11:07,120
one of the conferences I was supposed to speak at

150
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,279
was in Michigan, but it fell through for some reason.

151
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,440
I think I would be honored if people would ask

152
00:11:16,519 --> 00:11:18,720
me or would like me to speak at a conference.

153
00:11:19,159 --> 00:11:22,480
I would love to go and meet people in person

154
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,720
and really have those conversations and start to build relationships.

155
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,720
Because a lot of what I do is virtual, is

156
00:11:29,759 --> 00:11:33,039
behind the keyboard. I put a lot out on Instagram,

157
00:11:33,039 --> 00:11:35,559
and I have a lot of conversations over the Internet.

158
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,480
But I think when I do get to meet people

159
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,039
and do get to go out into the field with folks,

160
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,240
I have a great time. I've only made good friends.

161
00:11:44,279 --> 00:11:46,399
Like one of my great friends who I never would

162
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:48,559
have made had I got had I not gotten into

163
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,559
Bigfoot research, is Alex Pettakov, great guy. Never would have

164
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,720
become friends with him had I not started the Bigfoot

165
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,440
mapping project. And we went out in the Chafalai base

166
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:04,480
and had a blast. Right. So the long winded answer

167
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,000
to say, yeah, I would love to talk at conferences

168
00:12:07,639 --> 00:12:10,840
I would wonder maybe we can hear from the chat

169
00:12:10,879 --> 00:12:13,159
what people would like to see. That's one thing. If

170
00:12:13,159 --> 00:12:16,559
I did speak at conferences, I'd want to make it

171
00:12:16,759 --> 00:12:20,639
very worth your while. I'd want to bring something that's new, fresh,

172
00:12:21,159 --> 00:12:24,639
and bring good information. I wouldn't necessarily want to talk

173
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,600
in a general tone, although I'm happy to because I

174
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,720
think GIS and educating people about what GIS can do

175
00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:34,399
is really important. But also I'd like to bring some

176
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,919
cool stuff to conferences and say, hey, this is a

177
00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:41,320
you know, Hypothetically, if I were in Colorado doing a conference,

178
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,360
I would show up and say, hey, this is a

179
00:12:43,399 --> 00:12:46,080
hot spot that I've analyzed. Here's a recent sighting, here's

180
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,759
the corridors. Let's you know, talk about this right, things

181
00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:56,759
like that. I think it would be really interesting to

182
00:12:56,799 --> 00:12:59,200
get up and meet and talk in front of people.

183
00:13:00,879 --> 00:13:05,000
Let's see, Lee, how's that for a Do you have

184
00:13:05,039 --> 00:13:08,120
a conference in mind? Lee? That would be awesome if

185
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:14,799
you did. I'm gonna go to YouTube here and make

186
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,159
sure I'm not missing any comments because it's not updating.

187
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,159
So I'm gonna stop stop sharing here for a second

188
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,840
because the chat's kind of quiet, and I feel like

189
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,120
there's more people in the room, probably, so I want

190
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,639
to make sure I'm not missing anything. You got a

191
00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:32,039
little thing that says it can't post comments from some destinations,

192
00:13:32,039 --> 00:13:35,519
So a little concerned about that. Let's look at the

193
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:43,799
live chat. Yeah, nope, I'm not missing anything. Who else

194
00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:49,080
is in the chat? Anybody else have any questions? This

195
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,360
is your time. I'm I will sit here as long

196
00:13:51,399 --> 00:13:53,720
as it takes. I've got a giant bottle of water

197
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:00,799
and I I'm working on an empty tank, So let's go.

198
00:14:01,919 --> 00:14:04,519
I can't believe there's no more Bigfoot questions. How do

199
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:11,080
power power band? You're coming into a live chat. This

200
00:14:11,159 --> 00:14:13,200
is my first one, as a matter of fact, So

201
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,639
shout out from Northwest Virginia. Nice, nice poncho.

202
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 4: Hi.

203
00:14:22,919 --> 00:14:24,679
Speaker 2: You know, while I'm waiting for more questions, I'll tell

204
00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:28,279
a story about working in West Virginia. I don't know

205
00:14:28,279 --> 00:14:33,759
if you guys know the Cana River or Charleston, West Virginia.

206
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:41,720
I did some seismic surveys there and that is where

207
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:48,240
I really first got the first big Bigfoot report told

208
00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:51,120
to me verbally. So this is kind of West Virginia

209
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,120
is kind of where this all began for me. I

210
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:59,639
was doing gis in the field and I was out

211
00:14:59,639 --> 00:15:01,759
at a land ownse in the middle of the middle

212
00:15:01,799 --> 00:15:06,279
of nowhere outside of Charleston, beautiful country, and they were

213
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,200
talking to me about hunting, because, as you can tell

214
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:15,240
behind me, I like to hunt. And they they were

215
00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:17,919
telling me about one time when they were hunting how

216
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:24,480
a big, brown and white bigfoot came through the woods

217
00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:27,679
and passed them while they were hunting from their tree stand.

218
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,799
And that was really the first report that I got

219
00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:36,399
that gave me the idea of you know, hey, this

220
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,320
is happening to people I make maps, what if I

221
00:15:40,399 --> 00:15:45,840
captured this? And from there I went to Louisiana, which

222
00:15:45,879 --> 00:15:51,080
I heard more stories, Oklahoma, Texas, Pennsylvania. You name it, Lee,

223
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:57,240
I see you've got another comment here, Lee, Barnaby Jones.

224
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,200
Barnaby Jones, I know that name. I feel like I

225
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,600
might have talked to Barnaby or at least run in

226
00:16:03,639 --> 00:16:08,159
the same circles. It's a familiar name. Wisconsin Caps conference

227
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,559
discuss how you use your map and how you'd use

228
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,600
the information and plan you're outing. Absolutely, that would be

229
00:16:15,639 --> 00:16:18,679
a lot of fun and I think, you know, showing

230
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:23,480
people some e scouting and building a plan for research

231
00:16:24,919 --> 00:16:32,440
using GIS data of Bigfoot reports, historical bigfoot reports, the

232
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:40,879
information contained in the reports, interpolating between to report locations.

233
00:16:41,039 --> 00:16:44,320
Using like I just showed earlier, the least cost pathway,

234
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:49,559
we can actually do some localized, really specific least cost

235
00:16:49,559 --> 00:16:53,480
pathway analysis, so we could actually build even more specific

236
00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:58,200
models at a higher resolution, and then get in and

237
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,799
look at the topography. We can look at light our data,

238
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,279
which is very very useful, especially when you're going into

239
00:17:05,279 --> 00:17:09,000
a research area and hunting as well. So all of

240
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,920
the stuff that we have at our disposal, not only

241
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,240
when we're creating a map, it's more than a map.

242
00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:19,960
It's information. So the keyword in GIS is information, so

243
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:25,359
it's geographic information systems. And what we can do is

244
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,519
really go into an area or pick an area based

245
00:17:29,559 --> 00:17:33,799
on the intelligence. We have some predictions, we've made models,

246
00:17:33,839 --> 00:17:36,400
we've looked at trends we're noticing, so we can see

247
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:41,119
all different kinds of things from the information we have

248
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:49,279
in our GIS. Monster on the Edge where I first

249
00:17:49,319 --> 00:17:52,559
saw you in your awesome mapping skills. Thank you, Lee.

250
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,279
You can stay in the chat as long as you like.

251
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,680
Welcome this is keep feel free to keep commenting, thank you,

252
00:18:00,799 --> 00:18:07,079
I appreciate it. Power Band Sasquatch says, I'm into Bigfoot

253
00:18:07,079 --> 00:18:11,119
and UFO UAPs. Have you ever thought about making a

254
00:18:11,319 --> 00:18:14,960
UFO UAP map? I think power Band, I am about

255
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:21,720
to blow your mind. Short answer, not exactly a UFO map,

256
00:18:21,799 --> 00:18:25,519
but I did make a map called Drone Tracker, and

257
00:18:25,599 --> 00:18:33,799
I'll share that here in my third monitor again, so

258
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,400
I'm actually going to show you how to get there.

259
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:42,839
I made a map called Drone Tracker dot app right,

260
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,480
and you go to the siting site and this is

261
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,880
again very similar Bigfoot map. It's crowdsource the drone sightings.

262
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,680
You remember when all the drone sightings were going on

263
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,400
in the East coast throughout the country. I actually made

264
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,680
a map that captured those in real time and we

265
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,160
were able to identify hot spots, just like we do

266
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:07,279
with Bigfoot. So not quite UFO u AP map, but

267
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:13,960
definitely very parallel to that. So power Band, yes, I've

268
00:19:14,039 --> 00:19:16,759
thought about it, and I've done something. This was in

269
00:19:16,799 --> 00:19:21,799
response to a current event at the time where I

270
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,480
felt that GIS could be useful to get to answers.

271
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,359
And I will tell you why I haven't made a

272
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:40,160
UFO UFO map yet, and that's because I oops, I

273
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,880
don't know what I'm presenting here. Stop presenting, Stop screen.

274
00:19:44,839 --> 00:19:47,440
I really want to focus on Bigfoot. That's my passion,

275
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,720
and I think there are a lot of people that

276
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:55,680
are very involved in UFO u a P research and

277
00:19:55,759 --> 00:19:57,720
I just don't want to spread myself too thin, and

278
00:19:57,759 --> 00:20:01,359
I think there's plenty of resources there. Maybe if I

279
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,400
get to a point where I have more time and

280
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:12,279
the ability to dedicate to doing two maps well, I would.

281
00:20:12,319 --> 00:20:16,400
I would do it. But doing two maps with that

282
00:20:16,519 --> 00:20:19,359
much information and really doing them well would be pretty difficult.

283
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,839
And it's just me at the moment. I'm just a

284
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,759
one man show. So I'm going to go with the

285
00:20:25,799 --> 00:20:28,000
old adage of do one thing and do it well.

286
00:20:28,039 --> 00:20:30,319
And I'm very passionate about Bigfoot, so I really want

287
00:20:30,319 --> 00:20:34,799
to focus my energy here at getting to answers and

288
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,440
providing the community with a good resource. And if I

289
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:42,039
if I diverged and went away from that, I think

290
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:46,559
I wouldn't be doing either community very a very good

291
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:52,240
service because I'd be so busy and maybe a little overwhelmed.

292
00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:55,200
As it is, doing just the Bigfoot mapping project can

293
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,880
be a little overwhelming at times, a lot going on,

294
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,680
a lot to keep up with, especially since I have

295
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,160
a little one year old run around, so it's a lot.

296
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,720
That's a good question though, now thank you for that.

297
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,720
Let's see who else is in the chat we've got

298
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,079
out back Orchard. Any new reports in New England. Yes,

299
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,079
there's been a few new reports. If you hit the map,

300
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,119
you can see I'm looking at not quite in New England.

301
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,599
They go over to Ohio, but there's some. There's one

302
00:21:25,599 --> 00:21:28,880
in New York, there's one in Pennsylvania. There were a

303
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:33,920
few in Maine recently, but they've since faded off into

304
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,640
just the regular database. They aren't highlighted in the map.

305
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,359
But there are new reports in New England. Yes, and

306
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:44,079
this year alone there have been tons. I think. Let's

307
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,279
see who put that question up? Any new reports in

308
00:21:46,319 --> 00:21:53,599
New England outback Orchard. Another thing that you inspired me

309
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,960
to bring up is the sheer number of reports that

310
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,920
we've received since we started. We started in twenty twenty

311
00:22:01,039 --> 00:22:05,119
and to twenty twenty, and since then we've received about

312
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:11,640
thirteen hundred bigfoot reports. So yes, there are This year

313
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,480
alone we've received a few hundreds. So yes, there are

314
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,200
definitely new reports in New England, in fact, all over

315
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:26,680
the country. Let's see, l M says LM nop. Never

316
00:22:26,799 --> 00:22:31,559
got that joke though, right qrs tuv okay terrible dad

317
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,039
jokes and I'm live. I can't even edit this out O.

318
00:22:35,319 --> 00:22:38,880
I came in late. Does your map include Canadian sightings? Yes,

319
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,119
ll let's go take a look. Not a lot, but

320
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:47,079
it does. It does include Canadian sightings. You'll notice when

321
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,720
you zoom in, I'm actually gonna bring up the old map,

322
00:22:49,759 --> 00:22:53,519
the classic map, and I'm letna show you on the screen.

323
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:58,400
This is gonna be a little interactive. So yes, lle

324
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,920
to answer your question, you know, when you can see

325
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:05,359
the screen, guys sharing again, I'm going to go back

326
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:10,480
and forth between sharing. When you zoom out, you'll see

327
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,480
North America is covered and there are reports that are

328
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,319
captured in Canada. Right, so we go from all the

329
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,960
way over Newfoundland, New Fees over here, all the way

330
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:28,119
to BC up through the Yukon, the Northwest territories, all

331
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,039
the way over to Alaska. Yes, we do have a

332
00:23:32,079 --> 00:23:36,240
lot of Canadian reports and we're working on more. They

333
00:23:36,279 --> 00:23:40,000
are very interesting to read. So if you get the chance,

334
00:23:40,079 --> 00:23:43,799
hit bigfootmap dot com here and you can either jump

335
00:23:43,839 --> 00:23:46,000
into the new map or what I'm looking at here

336
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,160
that I'm just presenting now is the classic map, So

337
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,359
you can go over here and scroll around, and there's

338
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,039
tools to go through a legend. I'll highlight again like

339
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,920
I did earlier, so you know what you're looking at,

340
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,640
and there's all kinds of cool tools to go through

341
00:24:01,839 --> 00:24:06,559
the map. Let's see. Elle. Thank you, that was a

342
00:24:06,559 --> 00:24:10,279
great question. Have you had your own bigfoot encounter?

343
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:10,599
Speaker 3: Lee?

344
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 2: You are? You are all right? Lee? You are quickly

345
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,799
becoming the favorite favorite guest of the show. Yes, Lee,

346
00:24:18,839 --> 00:24:22,279
I have, so I've I've talked about it on other

347
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:28,799
podcasts Sasquatch Tracks and a few others actually over the

348
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,640
last few years, and I don't I don't bring it

349
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,680
up every podcast episode because you know, I am passionate

350
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,880
about Bigfoot, but I don't want to be a broken record.

351
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,480
But I am glad you asked, because there's probably people

352
00:24:39,519 --> 00:24:42,799
here that don't haven't heard the story, or maybe you haven't.

353
00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:48,279
So I'm from New York. I grew up there, and

354
00:24:48,319 --> 00:24:50,160
this is relevant because that's where I heard my it

355
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,440
had my first unexplained experience. Did I do I think

356
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,440
it was Bigfoot? I really don't know. But I was

357
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,720
very young. I was fourteen, so the this is twenty

358
00:25:01,759 --> 00:25:06,440
five years ago almost, and we were hiking up in

359
00:25:06,559 --> 00:25:09,480
Mount Beacon and on the backside of the reservoir at

360
00:25:09,519 --> 00:25:14,720
the top of the mountain there there are there's some streams,

361
00:25:14,759 --> 00:25:18,720
and there's groves and a few ridges. And on the

362
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,400
backside of one of the ridges there we were rounding

363
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,000
a corner. And as we rounded a corner, my friend

364
00:25:26,039 --> 00:25:30,640
and I we this giant tree. I mean, i'll use

365
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,440
a term here DBH, so diameter at breastite is how

366
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,799
you measure trees. And this tree was probably this big

367
00:25:37,839 --> 00:25:42,160
around right, so fairly large, like a normal person couldn't

368
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,680
shake it. And this tree started shaking all the way

369
00:25:45,759 --> 00:25:48,680
to the canopy, and we heard what sounded like a

370
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,440
gorilla right And I don't know what it was because

371
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,279
I didn't stick around long enough. My friend and I

372
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,880
literally bolted down the entire mountain. So that was the

373
00:26:00,079 --> 00:26:03,440
first unexplained thing that I kind of, you know, forgot about,

374
00:26:03,519 --> 00:26:05,720
and just you know, as you do, you get busy.

375
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:13,400
But fast forward to twenty twenty one and I was

376
00:26:13,839 --> 00:26:19,359
here where I live now, in Houston, Texas, and hunting

377
00:26:19,599 --> 00:26:23,119
actually I had already started the big for mapping project,

378
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,039
and I was bow hunting and my dear lease out

379
00:26:27,079 --> 00:26:32,359
near Sealy, Texas, and I was done for the evening.

380
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,480
So I got out of my stand. I was walking out,

381
00:26:35,039 --> 00:26:37,400
and it was past shooting time and I only had

382
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,000
my bow. So I was walking out. I went through

383
00:26:41,039 --> 00:26:44,720
the Barberier fence and I was walking along the river

384
00:26:44,759 --> 00:26:47,759
bottom on the side of the fence where the pasture

385
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,799
ended right, So the Barberer fence is on my left

386
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,200
and the river bottom is also on my left, and

387
00:26:55,519 --> 00:26:57,799
that's where I, you know, hunt, and there's hogs and

388
00:26:57,799 --> 00:27:03,640
deer and everything there. As I'm walking out, I looked

389
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,759
off to my eleven o'clock and there's like a sage

390
00:27:07,799 --> 00:27:13,240
brush or type, you know, sage type brush, and there

391
00:27:13,279 --> 00:27:17,880
was a dark like blob behind it, like shadow. And

392
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,440
I really thought when I saw it at first that

393
00:27:21,519 --> 00:27:25,119
it was a really big like wild boar, because they're

394
00:27:25,319 --> 00:27:27,839
everywhere there. They're all over the place here in Texas,

395
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,960
especially out in that part of Texas where I hunt

396
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:35,079
Katie Prairie, and so I just stood there. I stopped

397
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:36,680
and I was like, you know what, I'm gonna let

398
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,119
him go. On his way. He doesn't really, I don't

399
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,440
think he sees me. So I'm just gonna let him

400
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,960
go and then I'll get back to my truck. Well,

401
00:27:44,559 --> 00:27:51,000
as I was standing there's it stood up. I mean

402
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,039
it's that's the only way to describe it. It stood up,

403
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,759
and it stood well over the height of the bush.

404
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:04,079
And as I standing there, this is embarrassing. But I

405
00:28:04,079 --> 00:28:06,640
didn't know what to say. I was like buffering. I was.

406
00:28:06,759 --> 00:28:09,400
I wouldn't say I was in shock. I was just confused,

407
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,160
and I just said whoa, just like that, like whoa,

408
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,960
the same volume, same temperature, because I was surprised, and

409
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,680
it just came out. And when I said that, it

410
00:28:20,759 --> 00:28:26,440
squatted back down, and a few more seconds went by,

411
00:28:26,599 --> 00:28:29,480
and again I just I don't you know, in real time,

412
00:28:29,759 --> 00:28:33,079
I'm not thinking this is bigfoot. I I didn't know

413
00:28:33,079 --> 00:28:35,119
what to think. I wasn't really thinking. I was reacting,

414
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:40,839
and I said, uh, when it squatted back down, I said,

415
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,200
I see you, just just like you would say to

416
00:28:44,279 --> 00:28:47,240
somebody you know, or a kid, even I see you.

417
00:28:48,359 --> 00:28:51,559
And when I said that, it stood back up, turned

418
00:28:51,599 --> 00:29:00,319
around and ran fast, fast through through the opening, through

419
00:29:00,359 --> 00:29:03,640
all the thick brush, and then into some a stand

420
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:08,359
of trees and you could hear as it was just

421
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,880
you know, blazing a path in the dark. Mind you

422
00:29:13,559 --> 00:29:17,960
through all of these trees and prickers. Everything's pointy in Texas, right,

423
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,160
So a person couldn't run that quickly with no light,

424
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,480
not on a path in the dark. I don't know

425
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,240
what else to describe it as other than bigfoot. So,

426
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,200
you know, I got back to my truck, I locked

427
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,960
the doors. I got back to my truck, locked the doors,

428
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,200
and I just the hair on my arms was standing up.

429
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:40,920
I was like, oh my god, I just saw a bigfoot.

430
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,960
I just saw bigfoot. And I firmly believed that I

431
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,559
saw something that was unexplainable. I wish, I wish there

432
00:29:50,599 --> 00:29:52,559
was somebody with me. I wish it was just a

433
00:29:52,599 --> 00:29:54,200
little bit lighter out I would been able to make

434
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:59,079
out more details. But it's frame just like you would think.

435
00:29:59,119 --> 00:30:04,880
It's shoulders exceptionally wide, no neck, pointy head. I could

436
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,920
see the silhouette of its hands hanging like you know,

437
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:13,000
they were hanging like this, and that's all I remember.

438
00:30:13,119 --> 00:30:16,960
And it turned and ran. That's all I had. It was.

439
00:30:17,039 --> 00:30:20,759
I still hunt there, I still hunt there, and there's

440
00:30:20,759 --> 00:30:24,319
a small part of me. I crawl through along the creek.

441
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,400
I look every square inch at that place. I'm looking

442
00:30:27,519 --> 00:30:31,960
for everything. I don't feel scared out there, you know.

443
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,960
I still go out and hunt and fall asleep against

444
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,200
the tree. Well, you know, some of the best sleeps

445
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,680
you get are when you're hunting. But I feel, I

446
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,039
truly believe that if whatever was bigfoot, which I believe

447
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,559
wanted to harm me, it wouldn't have turned and ran.

448
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:53,680
It was large. It was large. So that's my true story,

449
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,119
true story, my encounter, and all it really did was

450
00:30:57,119 --> 00:31:01,599
fuel me even more to get to the bottom of this,

451
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:06,200
get some answers right. So, yes, it was crazy. It

452
00:31:06,279 --> 00:31:09,640
was crazy, and it's just hard to tell people that

453
00:31:09,759 --> 00:31:13,000
don't believe, right. I'm sure there's a bunch of people

454
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:18,400
in the chat that really that really understand. Let's see

455
00:31:18,839 --> 00:31:23,400
Poncho great, thank you, that's a great compliment. Thank you

456
00:31:23,519 --> 00:31:25,920
very much. This is being a friend of the camera

457
00:31:26,079 --> 00:31:28,599
isn't always as easy as I thought it was I

458
00:31:28,759 --> 00:31:30,960
was going to be. But this is fun. You know.

459
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,319
I'm enjoying doing the live. I think I might do

460
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,519
some more. Let's see, let's go through the chat a little.

461
00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:41,279
What plays surprised you the most, that got a report,

462
00:31:41,559 --> 00:31:44,519
well that you got a report of reports from from

463
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:49,119
Helton aka fast aka faster Man. There's a few places

464
00:31:49,119 --> 00:31:53,039
that have surprised me that I wouldn't say that I

465
00:31:53,079 --> 00:31:57,480
got reports or reports from. Generally, I try to look

466
00:31:57,519 --> 00:32:01,440
at the data on a holistic From a holistic point

467
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,400
of view, what are the trends I'm seeing, what are

468
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,920
the behaviors where the hot hotspots are a big thing

469
00:32:06,039 --> 00:32:10,559
for me, So there are some hot spots that surprised me.

470
00:32:12,359 --> 00:32:15,240
And not knowing a lot about Bigfoot when I started,

471
00:32:15,359 --> 00:32:17,839
I think the one of the places that surprised me

472
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,720
the most was Pennsylvania. I really didn't expect Pennsylvania to

473
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,640
have as much activity as it does. And then another

474
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,240
place which I didn't know until I really started looking

475
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,759
at the data, was Florida is loaded with hotspots and

476
00:32:33,799 --> 00:32:38,000
it's it's got a ton of activity. So those are

477
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,680
two places that I wouldn't say surprised me, but stick

478
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,400
out to me a little bit. And then also East

479
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,759
Texas is very interesting when you look at the map.

480
00:32:47,799 --> 00:32:53,960
Let's see I told everyone, oh, Lee, yeah, Lee, please

481
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,359
reach out again. If you guys are watching and you

482
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,759
I don't address I don't, I probably won't get to

483
00:32:58,759 --> 00:33:02,480
everyone's questions. And if I don't, please email me. It's

484
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:07,440
Scott at bigfootmap dot com and Lee please go ahead

485
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:13,759
and email me. That would be great. Sasquatch Wizard, adirondecks, Matt,

486
00:33:13,839 --> 00:33:16,440
what do you think about having a specific category for settings,

487
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:22,160
tracks or vocals that have been strongly vetted? So that's

488
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:26,839
a great a great question, and one of the ways

489
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:31,759
that I thought about doing this was surprisingly a lot

490
00:33:31,759 --> 00:33:34,279
of the research didn't the researchers didn't get back to me.

491
00:33:34,319 --> 00:33:37,680
But if you go to bigfootmap dot com, you'll notice

492
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,359
there's a researcher log in, and I actually, really I

493
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:46,799
do have a category for that already, sasquatch Wizard, where

494
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,839
I've created a form specifically for researchers so that I

495
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,279
can display those in a in a kind of segregate

496
00:33:55,319 --> 00:33:58,480
them a little or highlight them a little bit as

497
00:33:58,559 --> 00:34:03,440
being contributed from either search groups or individual researchers, and

498
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,319
allow people to follow along on their journey. And I've

499
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:12,280
gotten very little response from the researchers I've reached out

500
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,719
reached out to on that form, so I'm open to

501
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,480
suggestions on how to get a better response from them.

502
00:34:19,519 --> 00:34:22,639
That's something I've had some challenges with, and I think

503
00:34:22,679 --> 00:34:28,079
part of it is that they are concerned about sharing

504
00:34:28,119 --> 00:34:33,280
their research areas, which I understand, but that's not the

505
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,880
whole purpose of the Bigfoot Mapping project, which is very

506
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:41,000
focused on crowdsourcing data. So maybe there's a conflict in

507
00:34:41,079 --> 00:34:45,599
ideology there that keeps people from sharing their researchers and

508
00:34:45,639 --> 00:34:48,360
research group, that keeps people from sharing their information on

509
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,840
the map. I understand, but I don't know how to

510
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,440
conquer that. So if you guys have suggestions, please please,

511
00:34:53,480 --> 00:35:01,559
by all means let me know. Let's see who else

512
00:35:01,639 --> 00:35:03,840
when was that encounter. It was I think twenty twenty

513
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:11,000
one in October, l if I remember correctly, I have

514
00:35:11,079 --> 00:35:13,519
a jotted down in my notebook. I'll definitely let you

515
00:35:13,559 --> 00:35:15,840
know in the show notes when i'll repost this and

516
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,639
it'll come out and we can all watch this on

517
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,000
YouTube afterwards, and I'll make sure I get you the

518
00:35:21,039 --> 00:35:23,760
exact date and time. I have a journal where I've

519
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,000
kept that I wrote down exactly what I experienced, and

520
00:35:27,039 --> 00:35:30,039
that's actually really good advice that I got, and I'm

521
00:35:30,079 --> 00:35:32,440
glad I got this before I had the encounter. But

522
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,519
if you are out in the field or life in general,

523
00:35:36,559 --> 00:35:39,760
anything you experience that's either stressful, traumatic, or you feel

524
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,280
like you're going to need to recall it in the future,

525
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,639
write it down. Write it down as soon as you can,

526
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:51,119
because you know, over time your brain fragments things, it

527
00:35:51,159 --> 00:35:54,880
combines memories. We as humans, we don't have perfect recall.

528
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,679
So the sooner you can get something written down, the

529
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,840
better and the more of a viable your information about

530
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,239
whatever happened is going to be. So I'm glad you

531
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,480
asked that question. Al It led me to some being

532
00:36:07,519 --> 00:36:09,679
able to relay some advice that I've received that I've

533
00:36:10,119 --> 00:36:15,280
has helped me in the past. Let's see, Kenny Hess,

534
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,280
what would be the possibility of being able to cross

535
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,000
reference footprints in a database to see how far they

536
00:36:22,119 --> 00:36:28,599
range or of migratory migratory nature? So you can actually

537
00:36:28,599 --> 00:36:30,800
do that in the map, Kenny, let me show you

538
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,559
how you can do that. So I'm going to present

539
00:36:33,599 --> 00:36:41,400
my screen now and I'm gonna pop open screen three

540
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,199
again and we're going to go to the pro map.

541
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,480
So if you go to Bigfoot Mapping Project and you

542
00:36:47,559 --> 00:36:50,880
hit new map here with this lovely AI generated logo,

543
00:36:52,159 --> 00:36:56,480
and you go to Bigfoot map Pro. What you can

544
00:36:56,559 --> 00:36:58,800
do You'll see on the right there's this pop out

545
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,599
screen right, so if you pop it open and you

546
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,599
want to filter. Let's say you just want to filter

547
00:37:05,079 --> 00:37:08,400
new reports that have come in to the Bigfoot mapping project.

548
00:37:09,039 --> 00:37:12,079
I want to look at all the footprints, and I'm

549
00:37:12,119 --> 00:37:15,840
going to click let's say my research area is I

550
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,920
don't know this hot spot here. I'm going to click

551
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:22,920
this graphic down here. I'm gonna draw a polygon, double

552
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,440
click to finish, and then I'm going to click apply.

553
00:37:28,559 --> 00:37:32,199
So now I have a list here of all the

554
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:37,760
footprint reports in the map. And if you're really dig

555
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,639
there's a lot of tools that I've put out there,

556
00:37:39,679 --> 00:37:42,480
and I don't think people have found them very easily,

557
00:37:42,559 --> 00:37:44,440
and I don't I haven't done a lot of tutorials.

558
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,039
But if you want to see those footprint reports in

559
00:37:47,079 --> 00:37:50,800
the map, you can click your results here. Then there's

560
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,679
a button here that says actions, and if you hit

561
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,480
show on map, it will show all the results on

562
00:37:57,559 --> 00:38:01,440
the map. So then what you can do is you

563
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:07,159
can go to your map layers and you can turn

564
00:38:08,199 --> 00:38:09,760
everything you don't want to see off right, so you

565
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,800
have full control over what's in the map. So I

566
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:19,760
don't want to see my let's see where is it here?

567
00:38:20,519 --> 00:38:23,719
The historical layers I don't want to see. I don't

568
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,000
see the worldwide I don't want to see the hot spots.

569
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,880
I don't want to see really anything, right besides what

570
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:34,679
I'm interested in, which would be the footprint the track

571
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,239
sign right that you're asking about somebody else. What are

572
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,639
the blue dots in the map. The blue dots that

573
00:38:40,679 --> 00:38:44,440
are in the map are reports that have been submitted

574
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,960
in the last ten days. So there's some categories that

575
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,079
pull reports and activity to the surface that I've added.

576
00:38:51,119 --> 00:38:54,039
So there's a category for the ones that have occurred

577
00:38:54,039 --> 00:38:56,079
in the last seven days. They show up as orange,

578
00:38:57,039 --> 00:38:59,320
reported in the last forty eight hours show up as green,

579
00:38:59,639 --> 00:39:03,679
and last ten days is blue. So these are all

580
00:39:03,679 --> 00:39:09,360
your footprint reports, Kenny, that that have been submitted to

581
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,199
the Bigfoot mapping project. Right. But if you want to

582
00:39:12,199 --> 00:39:18,800
dig a little further, I've got the historical reports, and

583
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,719
if you want to see track sign in that area, again,

584
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,760
we can just draw a map. They draw a polygon

585
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,639
rather and trace the one we did. If it's the

586
00:39:30,639 --> 00:39:34,880
same area, right, just to be consistent, and we click apply,

587
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,360
and now you're going to get another list and they're

588
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,719
gonna all show in the map, and then we can

589
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:45,760
say show on map again. And now what you've done

590
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:50,519
is created a map of just tracks in your research

591
00:39:50,599 --> 00:39:52,800
area that you can go through and then you can,

592
00:39:53,199 --> 00:39:54,920
you know, if you want to reference them against the

593
00:39:54,960 --> 00:40:00,159
hot spots like I had, let's see precise hotspots. Right,

594
00:40:00,199 --> 00:40:01,960
you can start to see, okay, where are the track

595
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,119
signs within those hot spots and you can zoom in

596
00:40:05,159 --> 00:40:09,559
and say, okay, I've got some interesting I've got trailheads

597
00:40:09,559 --> 00:40:11,199
in here. So if I click and I see this

598
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,719
is a trailhead. The Quehana Trail has a bunch of

599
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:19,039
tracks and it's in a hot spot in Pennsylvania, right,

600
00:40:19,119 --> 00:40:21,440
So look how fast I just picked a trail that

601
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,400
I might be able to start my research from. Right.

602
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:28,239
So it's really interactive, and then there's some really nested

603
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,840
tools in here that can really help you get at

604
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,880
some good information or information that you want to use

605
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,760
how you want to use it. Right, That's what I'm

606
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,440
trying to do with the map. I'm not just trying

607
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,119
to put it out there I'm trying to help put

608
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:45,760
GIS in your toolbox, really if you will, so that

609
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:51,800
you can get out and do your own research. Let's see, Kenny,

610
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,960
was I hope that answered your question? Please let me

611
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,880
know if you want to see a little more. Let's see.

612
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:04,440
Are there video on the mapping project? Yes? There are they.

613
00:41:04,679 --> 00:41:08,760
You know, they're not highlighted with any specific symbol, but

614
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:13,000
they You can attach videos to a report, so I'll

615
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,000
show you how to. If you go to the report

616
00:41:16,159 --> 00:41:20,440
and you submit a report, you can attach them on

617
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:25,679
the report. Who asked that here, powerband? Yes, so short answer, yes,

618
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,360
they are on there. But if there was really any

619
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,519
crazy compelling videos, I would have shared them already. But

620
00:41:30,519 --> 00:41:37,320
there are some interesting ones out there. Let's see, Helton.

621
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,280
Let's see. Oh that's a good point, Helton. So Helton says,

622
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,639
if you ask ten people they've seen a UFO average,

623
00:41:46,679 --> 00:41:48,880
probably seven out of ten I've seen them, so seventy percent.

624
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,880
How many have reported it? Maybe one? So how many

625
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,280
people that see a big foot will report it? Point

626
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,239
zero one if you're lucky. Right, No, that's a really

627
00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:04,159
good point. So to add that there are about fourteen

628
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,239
thousand total records in the database of Bigfoot reports that

629
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,079
I've compiled or that have been submitted to the big

630
00:42:10,119 --> 00:42:13,559
Foot Mapping Project. So, like I said before, we've received

631
00:42:13,559 --> 00:42:18,159
thirteen hundred over the last four years approximately, and then

632
00:42:18,199 --> 00:42:23,239
outside of that, I've digitized John Green's database. I've collated

633
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:28,239
some historical reports. So all together, what you're seeing in

634
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:29,880
the map and what the hot spots and all the

635
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,119
different analysis I do are based on, and all the

636
00:42:32,119 --> 00:42:36,159
different maps I make that I share, they're all based

637
00:42:36,159 --> 00:42:40,880
on the fourteen thousand aggregated reports that we've got behind

638
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:49,480
the scenes in the Bigfoot Mapping database. Let's see no

639
00:42:49,639 --> 00:42:52,039
more burning questions. I'm going to scroll through the chat

640
00:42:52,079 --> 00:42:54,920
make sure I'm not missing anything. I think I'm only

641
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,039
seeing chats from YouTube. For some reason, it says it

642
00:42:58,079 --> 00:43:02,639
can't post comments stream yard here from any other destination.

643
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,360
So if you're on Facebook and you want to ask

644
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,519
a question, pop on over to YouTube. For some reason,

645
00:43:08,559 --> 00:43:11,239
I'm not seeing them, So I apologize for that. It

646
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,000
must be some kind of technical thing with stream Yard.

647
00:43:14,119 --> 00:43:18,119
But please, you know I'm gonna be here a while.

648
00:43:18,119 --> 00:43:20,599
I'm not going to end the show while you're switching

649
00:43:20,639 --> 00:43:27,119
over to YouTube. So Kenny says, I was thinking in

650
00:43:27,199 --> 00:43:31,360
the realm of light our scanning cast footprints to show

651
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:36,119
how far a certain individual might range. Now, I think

652
00:43:36,119 --> 00:43:41,119
that's that's very interesting, and that's very granular, right, that

653
00:43:41,159 --> 00:43:44,920
would be very I think if you could do that, that

654
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,119
would be very impressive. And I think I know it's possible, right,

655
00:43:48,199 --> 00:43:51,679
But really finding and verifying that you know, a track

656
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:53,840
is the same individual and getting a cast of it,

657
00:43:56,119 --> 00:43:59,719
you know, and coordinating all that, that's pretty cool. I

658
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:01,480
hope I hope you can do that. I hope you

659
00:44:01,519 --> 00:44:05,440
do do that. But light AR is very interesting, since

660
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:10,639
you say that, not only for analyzing tracks and casts

661
00:44:10,639 --> 00:44:16,480
and objects or evidence in three dimensions, on a larger scale,

662
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,119
light R is actually very useful for understanding terrain. And

663
00:44:21,159 --> 00:44:24,800
I think I mentioned it earlier, but there are some

664
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:30,280
great resources that I've shared, particularly in the Pacific Northwest

665
00:44:30,599 --> 00:44:32,480
where they have really good light our data. And if

666
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,280
you go back in some of the older episodes, I

667
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:36,920
can't remember which number it was, it might have been

668
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,920
number five where I talked to Tanner Hoskins of the

669
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:47,000
Pacific Northwest Missing Persons Project. He and I go through

670
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:51,360
some light UR data and it's a little off topic

671
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,800
but what we do in the episode is we use

672
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:58,440
light our data and a track from a missing plane

673
00:44:58,679 --> 00:45:02,960
that has crashed, and we start searching in the Pacific

674
00:45:03,039 --> 00:45:07,960
Northwest in Oregon for anomalies in the light our data

675
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,079
that look like plane wreckage. And in the episode we

676
00:45:10,119 --> 00:45:14,960
actually find something that measures about fifty feet long and

677
00:45:15,039 --> 00:45:20,920
it looks like the body of an aircraft, so the

678
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,559
hull of an aircraft, I guess you'd call it. And

679
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,840
he is at some point, at least last time we talked,

680
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,559
he's going to go check that out. So I'm very

681
00:45:28,599 --> 00:45:31,760
curious to see what the results are. And in my opinion,

682
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:37,119
that's just another illustration of how GIS and mapping and

683
00:45:37,159 --> 00:45:40,559
technology and everything that's available, believe it or not, for

684
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:45,760
almost free on the internet, can be used to solve mysteries,

685
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:51,360
help you help when things there's crisis going on. In

686
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,840
the last episode, I did the recap of twenty twenty four,

687
00:45:56,079 --> 00:45:59,239
I talk about the fires that are going on in

688
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,360
LA and I put the or we're going on. I

689
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:03,840
don't know if they're still burning. I have to look,

690
00:46:05,519 --> 00:46:07,519
but I made a map of the fire perimeter and

691
00:46:07,559 --> 00:46:10,079
what I actually did was put on all the tax

692
00:46:10,159 --> 00:46:13,960
parcels inside of the perimeter of the fire, so you

693
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:20,199
could get an idea of how many buildings were impacted

694
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,360
on the fly, and I actually show and we go

695
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,400
through that as well. So I was looking at specific

696
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:28,920
neighborhoods and all the tax parcels and population density that

697
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,960
was affected inside the perimeter of the fires. And it

698
00:46:31,039 --> 00:46:33,880
was crazy. So if you guys want to see that

699
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,679
and then also hear about you know, twenty twenty four,

700
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,400
go check out the last episode of Mapping Bigfoot. It's

701
00:46:40,519 --> 00:46:42,719
just me, but I go through a few things that

702
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,639
I think are interesting. So if you haven't watched the

703
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,840
last few episodes, there's only this is only episode nine anyway,

704
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,840
but I've had some really really great guests. I think

705
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,639
you guys would enjoy Fuselage Lee. You're winning, You're winning

706
00:46:55,639 --> 00:47:02,679
this broadcast. I'm not. You're the winner so far. Let's see.

707
00:47:03,679 --> 00:47:09,880
Did I miss any questions? No, no, anybody, I'll talk.

708
00:47:10,079 --> 00:47:12,280
I can talk. So if you're thinking of a question,

709
00:47:14,039 --> 00:47:16,320
I'm not bashful. I'm gonna scroll back through the chat

710
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:21,880
here and make sure that I uh answer all the

711
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:27,960
questions that have come up. I didn't skip any When

712
00:47:28,079 --> 00:47:34,039
was that encounter from L that was funny, sas question wizard.

713
00:47:34,159 --> 00:47:38,599
I'm I'm Scott. Keep calling me Matt. I think that's funny.

714
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,679
I'll answer to it though. Whatever. Let's see what would

715
00:47:42,679 --> 00:47:45,960
the possibility of being able to cross reference footprints and database? Kenny?

716
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:54,039
I answered that cool? All right, out back Orchard, Scott,

717
00:47:54,079 --> 00:47:57,159
do you have an overlay of hiking trails on the maps?

718
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:02,920
I e? Appalachian Trail, Appalation trail? He's got Can I

719
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,559
borrow twenty dollars? And said, to ask you anything? Help

720
00:48:05,599 --> 00:48:07,719
to ask a good question. I did say ask anything.

721
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:10,159
I'll think about it. I'll let you know at the

722
00:48:10,199 --> 00:48:15,800
end of the show. Stick around. Let's see out back Orchard. Yes,

723
00:48:16,039 --> 00:48:21,960
I do in some areas. I did have them on

724
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,119
the map at one point. But what I've done let

725
00:48:24,119 --> 00:48:26,119
me clear the map and I'll show you what I've done.

726
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,760
I'll share my screen again. Let me get this queer.

727
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:37,400
I'll just refresh the map so I'm gonna present Sorry,

728
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,480
I keep going back and forth between presenting it up.

729
00:48:39,519 --> 00:48:41,000
But I just don't want the map to sit there

730
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:45,360
and be like, you know, boring when I when I'm

731
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:48,719
not looking at it. So let me go to the

732
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:57,920
map again. Share so out back Orchard. Yes, I do

733
00:48:58,039 --> 00:49:00,440
have trails on the map. You'll see these black dots

734
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:05,480
pop up when I click on the when I zoom in,

735
00:49:06,159 --> 00:49:09,039
and those are trail heads. Based on what the USGS

736
00:49:09,039 --> 00:49:13,079
has in their data set, I probably could add the

737
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:19,719
major trails like the Appalachian Trail and the you know trails,

738
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:23,880
different trails in the Pacific Northwest and throughout the United

739
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,960
States and the national parks and things, and that wouldn't

740
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,079
be too heavy for the map. One of the reasons

741
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,960
I didn't add or I haven't added all the trails

742
00:49:32,039 --> 00:49:36,159
nationwide is it would make the map pretty heavy and

743
00:49:36,199 --> 00:49:38,599
pretty slow when you zoom in, because that would be

744
00:49:38,639 --> 00:49:40,880
a ton of lines and it would kind of get crowded.

745
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:45,079
So it's a balance between what I can add to

746
00:49:45,119 --> 00:49:46,800
the map because there's a ton of data to add,

747
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:50,320
but and then also performance and how useful the map is.

748
00:49:50,559 --> 00:49:53,840
So I haven't really put too many hiking trails in

749
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,000
the map. But if you're looking for that information or

750
00:49:56,039 --> 00:49:58,360
you need shape files of it or whatever, I can

751
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,320
absolutely get it and share it with you, or I

752
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:04,639
can happy to help people make maps for their individual

753
00:50:04,679 --> 00:50:06,599
research areas and things. I do that all the time.

754
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,239
So if there's something you really really need help with,

755
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,320
reach out and if I can fit it in, and

756
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:16,199
I will. I can't always. I'm busy with a few

757
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:19,599
other projects that I you know, have to take priority.

758
00:50:19,639 --> 00:50:22,760
But if I have time, I will always always help,

759
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:25,440
and I'll let you know. I'll let you know if

760
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,400
I can or can't or when I can get to things.

761
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,639
So don't be afraid to reach out please if I'm not,

762
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:32,719
if I if you need something that you think I

763
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:45,079
can help with, Let's see Scotch wis oh man? Am

764
00:50:45,079 --> 00:50:48,519
I bad? Yeah, no worries, No worries, I look like

765
00:50:48,559 --> 00:50:51,400
a Matt. That's okay. You know. I'm just glad you're here,

766
00:50:52,000 --> 00:51:00,000
so don't worry about it. That's funny. You're in US

767
00:51:00,079 --> 00:51:02,559
Air Force, bet Lee cool Well, thanks for your service.

768
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:08,039
Let's see anything anybody else wants to see or no,

769
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:13,000
I'm an open book. Have you decided if we are

770
00:51:13,079 --> 00:51:17,000
mappers or bumps bumpers yet? You know I talked to

771
00:51:17,039 --> 00:51:21,119
my wife about it. So for those of you that

772
00:51:21,159 --> 00:51:23,679
are just tuning in, I at the end of one

773
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:25,599
of the shows, I couldn't decide if I wanted to

774
00:51:25,639 --> 00:51:29,559
call our group here. You know the folks that are

775
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,480
take the time to hang out with me and listen

776
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:36,039
to the podcast. I didn't know if we should create

777
00:51:36,079 --> 00:51:38,239
a nickname, and the first one that came to me

778
00:51:38,639 --> 00:51:41,559
was mappers, right, which I think is logical. It's kind

779
00:51:41,559 --> 00:51:44,079
of cool. What's up mappers, you know? I think it's

780
00:51:44,079 --> 00:51:46,639
got a good ring to it. And then b MP,

781
00:51:47,039 --> 00:51:51,559
which is Bigfoot Mapping Project. I thought bumpers and I

782
00:51:51,599 --> 00:51:53,639
was like, I don't know, let me let me ask

783
00:51:53,679 --> 00:51:57,639
you guys what you want. I think I'm leaning towards mappers.

784
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,480
What do you guys think? I think mappers is pretty

785
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,000
pretty cool. I think it's a good one. And that's

786
00:52:04,039 --> 00:52:08,719
you know, that was my first title as my professional

787
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,119
career as a GIS guy. I was a mapper, right,

788
00:52:11,159 --> 00:52:15,920
So it's logical as well based on my experience. So

789
00:52:16,039 --> 00:52:20,679
I'm leaning towards mappers. I think. I think that's pretty cool.

790
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:22,920
If you guys are cool that you like it good. Yeah,

791
00:52:23,079 --> 00:52:28,920
I like mappers too. I think that's pretty cool. I'm

792
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:33,400
glad you guys like it. So let's see. Let's see

793
00:52:33,599 --> 00:52:36,719
outback Orchard says, I think they correlate with some encounters

794
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:42,280
here in New England. Awesome, awesome. Let's see, I'm going

795
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:48,440
to scroll back, make sure I'm not missing anything, all right,

796
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,519
if there aren't any more questions, see it, mappers good?

797
00:52:50,559 --> 00:52:52,800
Another vote for mappers. That's two votes, so we're on

798
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:56,480
the right track. I'm gonna, hopefully I'm going to talk

799
00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:00,719
about a few things that hopefully sparks some questions, you know,

800
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:03,880
things that I things that I like or go to,

801
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,599
you know, when I'm when I'm trying to understand what's

802
00:53:08,639 --> 00:53:12,920
happening with bigfoot, and uh, I will always start with

803
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:18,800
what I think is the most interesting piece of authoritative

804
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:24,920
data that was created that I've kind of uh adopted,

805
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:28,559
uh and and and I don't think it was ever

806
00:53:28,639 --> 00:53:31,639
intended to be used for Bigfoot research. But Ezri has

807
00:53:31,679 --> 00:53:34,599
put out something for a green infrastructure, and it's called

808
00:53:34,679 --> 00:53:36,400
it's I referred to it earlier when we looked at

809
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:43,159
the Connecticut corridors. It's these least cost pathway corridors. And

810
00:53:43,159 --> 00:53:47,320
this is generally just as it sounds, it's the the

811
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:51,400
path of least resistance between two areas. Right. So let's

812
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:56,559
say there's a state forest on one, you know, one

813
00:53:57,599 --> 00:54:02,360
in one area, and then uh near that, there's like

814
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:07,039
another state forest or wood woodland of some sort between that,

815
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:10,480
how do the animals and the wildlife travel to get

816
00:54:10,519 --> 00:54:13,679
between each of those hubs? Right, It's like a network.

817
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:15,840
So there's a hub here and a hub here, what's

818
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:17,920
the corridor that connects them? And that's how what you

819
00:54:18,079 --> 00:54:22,079
use the least cost pathway analysis for by creating a model, right,

820
00:54:22,159 --> 00:54:24,320
and then and then you start to look at you

821
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,760
know what that network looks like in I mean in

822
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:32,199
simple terms. So what they've done is they've created this

823
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:35,639
data set of the entire nation, right, all of these

824
00:54:36,159 --> 00:54:39,800
least cost pathways, and I took those and intersected them

825
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:45,760
with within a certain distance of those pathways, those corridors,

826
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:48,719
I found all the bigfoot reports that were within like

827
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:53,159
a quarter mile of them. And man, it really is crazy,

828
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:56,960
Like I can see almost the bigfoot network that it

829
00:54:57,039 --> 00:55:00,679
may may or may not travel throughout the whole Unit States.

830
00:55:02,199 --> 00:55:04,119
It's pretty interesting. And I've made a few maps. I've

831
00:55:04,159 --> 00:55:07,119
published them on my Instagram. If you'd like to see them,

832
00:55:07,159 --> 00:55:10,840
they are available. And then if you are going to

833
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:15,159
get into more research, please reach out. I'll supply you know,

834
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:19,400
a much more in depth, more high definition map. But

835
00:55:20,119 --> 00:55:23,800
at a high scale state level, state by state, you

836
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,079
can see these what I've done with these corridors and

837
00:55:26,599 --> 00:55:32,760
pulled them out, and I think it's really interesting. Let's see.

838
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:36,119
Matt Simms says, I've been interested in Bigfoot since a child.

839
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:41,079
I really got interested when hearing stories of people shooting

840
00:55:41,119 --> 00:55:44,039
them and the bigfoot turn into stars and fly off.

841
00:55:45,519 --> 00:55:49,440
That is bizarre. As you say, Matt, I've you know,

842
00:55:49,559 --> 00:55:54,079
I've never heard of reports like that. I'd love to

843
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:58,039
know where that happened when, and then you know, start

844
00:55:58,079 --> 00:56:00,559
to dig into those reports in the history that area.

845
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,760
A great resource that I use a lot when I'm

846
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:07,159
looking at the history of area is you can actually

847
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:11,039
go search old newspaper archives on Google. It's like Google

848
00:56:11,079 --> 00:56:15,000
dot com news slash newspaper and you can actually look

849
00:56:15,039 --> 00:56:19,119
at old scanned articles. I do that a lot, and

850
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:21,840
I've found stuff all the way back to the eighteen hundreds.

851
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:26,519
Very interesting. I'll share that in the show notes. And

852
00:56:26,559 --> 00:56:29,440
I think, you know, something like that would be where

853
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:31,239
I would start with the map, but then I would

854
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:35,719
start to dig into old records and periodicals from the

855
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:40,719
from the time that it happened around then heard one

856
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,480
report on real Earth files from Linda Malton. Howe. You know,

857
00:56:43,599 --> 00:56:46,360
she's somebody I've never talked to. She's very interesting. I've

858
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:50,000
watched a lot of her stuff, but I've never spoken

859
00:56:50,039 --> 00:56:53,480
with her. I think that would be really interesting how

860
00:56:53,599 --> 00:56:57,079
detail is told in the dark. I like that. I

861
00:56:57,199 --> 00:57:00,239
like your your your your tag there, that's cool. I'm

862
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:05,840
gonna have to visit your channel. Presc Isle, Pennsylvania. Scott

863
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:10,199
stan Gordon, Mark Casting says yes, another vote for mappers.

864
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:17,800
All right, that makes three. Kenny Hess says Trailblazers. Yeah.

865
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:19,920
I like that. We'll throw that in the running. Why not?

866
00:57:21,599 --> 00:57:27,079
Uh ah, Okay, Stan Gordon has one of a case

867
00:57:27,119 --> 00:57:30,159
of one disappearing while being shot. Stan Gordon, Okay, I'll

868
00:57:30,199 --> 00:57:34,920
definitely look more into that, because you know, it's interesting.

869
00:57:35,199 --> 00:57:39,559
I've I've never heard of one heard of that happening,

870
00:57:39,599 --> 00:57:41,199
or at least in the reports I've read, haven't seen

871
00:57:41,239 --> 00:57:45,760
it in the database. A weird experience I had, And

872
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,119
I don't know what this was actually and this this

873
00:57:48,239 --> 00:57:53,400
I only remembered this very recently and and connected it

874
00:57:53,440 --> 00:58:00,400
to being maybe something unexplainable, but I was driving, as

875
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:03,760
I said. I've worked in seismic for the last almost

876
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:10,239
twenty years and I was working in Cashadaw, Louisiana, not

877
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,719
the casino. There's actually a little town called Cashata on

878
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:18,000
the Red River. And I was driving back from Shreveport.

879
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:23,119
I had had a disappointing night at the casino, so

880
00:58:23,159 --> 00:58:27,079
I was driving home and the Riverbo casinos there and

881
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:31,280
I was in the middle of nowhere in a cypress

882
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:37,920
swamp and some shadow of something came up running out

883
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,320
of the swamp and dove in front of my vehicle

884
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:47,679
like full on Superman dove, and I swerved, I missed it,

885
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:49,480
and when I looked in my rear view, there was

886
00:58:49,599 --> 00:58:54,119
nothing there. I called the police, reported it and let

887
00:58:54,199 --> 00:58:56,119
him know, you know, that there was something weird going on,

888
00:58:56,239 --> 00:58:59,960
but nothing more ever came of it. And it was

889
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:06,239
so spooky. I mean, Louisiana's, you know, famous for haunting

890
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:08,519
things and things like that, but I never in that moment.

891
00:59:08,559 --> 00:59:10,519
I just thought, you know, this is somebody that's trying

892
00:59:10,519 --> 00:59:12,880
to get me to stop my vehicle, gonna mug me

893
00:59:13,039 --> 00:59:15,559
or you know, God knows what, wants to steal the

894
00:59:15,599 --> 00:59:18,960
car or rob me or something. So I stop the

895
00:59:19,039 --> 00:59:21,400
vehicle because I wanted to make sure, you know, nothing happened,

896
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:24,039
and when I look, there's nothing in the road. So

897
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,599
again call the cops, let him know mile marker, what

898
00:59:26,719 --> 00:59:30,320
roade all that kind of time, and you know it

899
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:33,119
was just went home and I was freaked out. You know.

900
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,840
Then it's still to this day, I don't know what happened.

901
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:39,559
So things disappearing, I'm open to that because I've experienced it,

902
00:59:41,719 --> 00:59:45,079
but I've never connected it that like, I've never connected

903
00:59:45,079 --> 00:59:47,480
it to Bigfoot, especially not in the evidence I receive

904
00:59:47,519 --> 00:59:53,400
for the reports I get in the database. Let's see

905
00:59:53,480 --> 01:00:01,519
sasquatch wizard Scott. Was it a that there was waterways

906
01:00:01,559 --> 01:00:04,960
frequently associated with the corridors in relation to the Bigfoot

907
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:09,079
reports being a quarter mile from these corridors, Yes, definitely.

908
01:00:09,239 --> 01:00:12,880
So if you hit the instagram that I've got out

909
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:16,679
there at Bigfoot Mapping Project in particular, I did an

910
01:00:16,679 --> 01:00:22,599
analysis of Chestnut Ridge in Pennsylvania, and there's the in

911
01:00:22,639 --> 01:00:28,079
the zoom in that I did, you can see that

912
01:00:28,159 --> 01:00:30,920
there's the least cost pathway corridors that I've mapped, so

913
01:00:31,039 --> 01:00:35,880
terrestrial corridors right on land, and then there are reports

914
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:41,320
that are very close to waterways. So there's two sections

915
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:43,840
where you can see that the Bigfoot is obviously traveling.

916
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:51,199
So yes, that's one instance, Sasquatch Wizard where your your

917
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:54,400
question does apply. And I have seen that pattern in

918
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:58,280
other places, but that's the first one that comes to mind. Lee.

919
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,920
Did I lose time when that happened? No? No, I

920
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:09,400
didn't lose time. I just, you know, luckily was able

921
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:13,960
to react and miss whatever it was. I was freaked out, though,

922
01:01:14,079 --> 01:01:16,920
I'll tell you that I was scared. I was by myself.

923
01:01:17,079 --> 01:01:19,079
I was at the time, I was probably like twenty

924
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:23,119
I was twenty one, so that was seventeen years ago,

925
01:01:23,159 --> 01:01:26,920
eighteen years ago. And no, it was spooky. It was

926
01:01:27,039 --> 01:01:34,840
very spooky, very spooky. Let's see. Can you merge Sumatis says,

927
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:39,159
sorry if I'm saying your name wrong. Can you merge

928
01:01:39,199 --> 01:01:44,119
with subarcticle asses sasquatches maps site as well? Yes, I

929
01:01:44,119 --> 01:01:47,119
would love to. I'm glad you brought that question up.

930
01:01:47,159 --> 01:01:51,400
There's a few people and groups that have reached out

931
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:56,440
to me lately and I've i have replied, Yes, there's

932
01:01:56,480 --> 01:02:01,960
two things I can merge with. Anybody that's out there,

933
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:04,559
any group that would like to contribute to the Bigfoot

934
01:02:04,599 --> 01:02:08,639
mapping project. That is the goal to have all big

935
01:02:08,679 --> 01:02:11,840
Foot reports or as many as possible in one central location.

936
01:02:13,119 --> 01:02:16,840
That way, there we can analyze all of the data

937
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:20,159
in one place and really hopefully get the most out

938
01:02:20,159 --> 01:02:23,199
of it. So that's the first reason, and the second

939
01:02:23,239 --> 01:02:28,239
thing is if somebody does contribute their information, I also

940
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:29,719
want to make sure that they get credit for it.

941
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,239
You'll notice in the legend that Kerry kil Murray has

942
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:36,480
a shout out in the legend, and anybody else that contributes,

943
01:02:36,519 --> 01:02:40,599
I will be sure to represent that and cite that accordingly.

944
01:02:41,159 --> 01:02:43,039
However you want to be presented in the map. I

945
01:02:43,079 --> 01:02:45,199
don't want to take credit where I haven't earned it.

946
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:49,840
So yes, short answer, I would love to incorporate as

947
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:54,360
many reports and databases and information as possible. And then

948
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:59,440
if there is like a map curve, if you will,

949
01:02:59,519 --> 01:03:03,039
where I may need to do some work to help

950
01:03:03,079 --> 01:03:05,719
get those sightings into the format or into the shape

951
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:07,840
that they need to be to get into the map,

952
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:09,559
I'm also happy to do that work, right. I do

953
01:03:09,639 --> 01:03:14,519
that every day professionally, That's my job. I massage data,

954
01:03:14,559 --> 01:03:19,039
analyze data work. Would work with huge, huge, enormous data

955
01:03:19,079 --> 01:03:23,159
sets in the cloud every day, So working on this

956
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:27,239
is you know, very nerdy, very fun. It's what I

957
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:32,719
love doing. So great question, Sumati. I think that I

958
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:37,599
would love to get more groups incorporated and participating in

959
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:41,920
the map. And actually a great way for them to

960
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,039
get their reports in the map is something I talked

961
01:03:44,039 --> 01:03:47,920
about earlier, which is the researcher log in. If they're willing,

962
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:52,760
if that group is willing for that person is willing

963
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:56,880
to fill out that form, I actually have a method

964
01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:58,800
to get their information straight into the map and have

965
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:02,960
them be symbolized as those reports originating from you know,

966
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:04,880
that group, and I can even put like their logo

967
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:07,679
in the map as you know, the point in the

968
01:04:07,679 --> 01:04:10,920
map that they people click on and read. So absolutely,

969
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:16,920
what year did that happen? Are you referring to Louisiana

970
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:27,679
thing mark? That probably was oh gosh, two thousand, two

971
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:33,199
thousand and nine, I guess two thousand and eight somewhere

972
01:04:33,239 --> 01:04:45,679
around there. Definitely before twenty ten. Let's see power band.

973
01:04:45,679 --> 01:04:49,480
Am I missing any other questions? Thank you, Lee, I

974
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:51,480
didn't sneeze, but if it sounded like I did, I

975
01:04:51,519 --> 01:04:57,679
appreciate it. As long as you're not saying, bless your heart.

976
01:04:58,119 --> 01:05:00,519
I live in the South. I know what that means.

977
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:04,719
Uh Stan Gordon, Okay, Okay, well, I'm going to keep

978
01:05:04,719 --> 01:05:07,639
going on the tangent I was on before while more

979
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:12,599
questions come in. So I was talking about corridors. But

980
01:05:13,519 --> 01:05:15,760
one of the other things that I you know, obviously

981
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:18,440
g I S and data is really really really important,

982
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:24,360
and and uh finding good data is uh, you know,

983
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:26,599
one of the things that I want to talk about,

984
01:05:26,599 --> 01:05:30,159
because you know, how do you how do you make

985
01:05:30,199 --> 01:05:33,480
conclusions and how do you do analysis that you can trust?

986
01:05:33,519 --> 01:05:37,920
And that's by using data that is coming from authoritative sources.

987
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:42,360
So one of the greatest sources of data that I

988
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:46,000
use is the USGS. I mean elevation data, topo lines,

989
01:05:46,079 --> 01:05:52,920
contour lines, the forest canopy density, land use, land cover,

990
01:05:53,079 --> 01:05:55,639
all of those things that can help inform the analysis

991
01:05:55,679 --> 01:05:59,039
I do in the Big Foot Mapping project. On the

992
01:05:59,039 --> 01:06:02,719
different and various maps that I make and that I share,

993
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:06,199
I'll always incorporate as much data as I can find,

994
01:06:06,199 --> 01:06:10,840
but I also make sure to confirm that it's coming

995
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:17,199
from an authoritative institution, if you will, or at least

996
01:06:17,199 --> 01:06:20,480
a source, so that I know the conclusions I'm drawing

997
01:06:21,119 --> 01:06:29,159
aren't going to be incorrect if you will, How accurate

998
01:06:30,119 --> 01:06:33,039
do you believe these sightings for your map. Love your maps.

999
01:06:33,079 --> 01:06:36,840
Thanks Robert in Oregon. You know, that's a good question,

1000
01:06:37,079 --> 01:06:40,920
and that is a tough one to answer because of

1001
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,719
the crowdsource aspect of the Bigfoot mapping project. I think,

1002
01:06:46,079 --> 01:06:49,360
you know, you touch on an interesting point. Not every

1003
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:54,320
report that I get is probably true. It's probably not

1004
01:06:54,599 --> 01:06:58,480
the location, maybe not be accurate the content. You know,

1005
01:06:58,559 --> 01:07:02,360
everybody communicates in different way, so the content might not

1006
01:07:02,519 --> 01:07:07,440
be as accurate as it could be. But I will

1007
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,719
say that's true of any report. For example, law enforcement

1008
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:16,159
is riddled with inaccurate reports when they're investigating something right,

1009
01:07:16,199 --> 01:07:19,519
and then other research efforts and all kinds of and

1010
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:22,800
just about everywhere that people are involved, you're going to

1011
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:30,079
get different perspectives, different information, different recall. But so that's

1012
01:07:30,119 --> 01:07:32,800
the first part of it my answer. The second part

1013
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:36,000
of my answer is there the approach that I'm taking,

1014
01:07:36,079 --> 01:07:42,400
I hope will account for some of that, where if

1015
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:46,840
we get enough reports that I can start to look

1016
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:51,480
at the big data, the trends from a big data aspect,

1017
01:07:51,519 --> 01:07:56,440
if you will, where those inaccuracies and those outliers will

1018
01:07:56,559 --> 01:08:00,559
fall out of the data set and fall out of

1019
01:08:00,559 --> 01:08:03,320
the analysis and what I'll be left with is the

1020
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:08,840
real meat and the real reliable, repeatable information. So that's

1021
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:11,159
not to say that if something falls out of the

1022
01:08:11,199 --> 01:08:14,000
data set when I, you know, when I eventually get

1023
01:08:14,119 --> 01:08:16,159
enough reports in there that I can start to do

1024
01:08:16,199 --> 01:08:19,760
this really really in depth analysis, that it's wrong. It's

1025
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:22,760
not just if a report doesn't it may be an outlier,

1026
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:25,239
but it may be true. It just hasn't been reported

1027
01:08:25,359 --> 01:08:29,960
enough to fall into a greater trend, right, So you know,

1028
01:08:30,039 --> 01:08:33,880
we're hoping to identify the larger, bigger trends and then

1029
01:08:34,119 --> 01:08:36,239
and then we can build from there. Just we've got

1030
01:08:36,239 --> 01:08:40,239
to start and build a foundation of verified or at

1031
01:08:40,319 --> 01:08:42,479
least repeatable knowledge and then go from there. And it's

1032
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:45,319
as close to the scientific methods as possible. Right, you

1033
01:08:46,399 --> 01:08:50,239
have a hypothesis, and then is that hypothesis repeatable? That

1034
01:08:50,319 --> 01:08:53,279
answer you know, that answer you get, and then you

1035
01:08:53,399 --> 01:08:55,279
verify that from there, and that's that's when you can

1036
01:08:55,279 --> 01:09:03,159
trust that. Let's see, do I get reports from Alabama? JD.

1037
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:08,640
I see your comment there. Yeah, we do get reports

1038
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:11,239
from Alabama. Lee. I actually see I'm looking at the

1039
01:09:11,239 --> 01:09:15,640
map right now. I see two blue dots in Alabama

1040
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:18,560
at the moment, so they were reported in the last

1041
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:22,359
ten days. The first one I clicked on happened in

1042
01:09:22,359 --> 01:09:26,479
twenty sixteen, and then the second one in southern Alabama

1043
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:30,600
near happened in twenty twenty two, and they're both around

1044
01:09:31,159 --> 01:09:37,079
ones in I'm gonna say this wrong Knica National Forest.

1045
01:09:37,119 --> 01:09:43,800
It looks like just north of Florida, so just north

1046
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:49,640
if you go straight north from like, let's see Deston. Actually,

1047
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:53,119
if you go straight north from Deston into Alabama, there's

1048
01:09:53,159 --> 01:09:57,640
one there. And then there's also one just east of

1049
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:00,439
Evergreen that was just reported in the last in days.

1050
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:03,520
Jd uh. You know, I don't know where you are

1051
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:07,000
in Alabama, but there are definitely a bunch of hotspots there,

1052
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:12,319
particularly the biggest hot spot in Alabama, there's one in

1053
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:15,359
Actually I'll go ahead and share my screen so you

1054
01:10:15,399 --> 01:10:18,079
can see them. Why not, I've got all night. I

1055
01:10:18,119 --> 01:10:24,159
don't know about you, guys, but I do. So let's see.

1056
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:28,520
So I'm looking at Alabama here again. If you guys

1057
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:30,119
are just tuning in, I'll show you how I got here.

1058
01:10:30,159 --> 01:10:33,800
It's bigfootmap dot Com and then you click on new

1059
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:38,079
map and it'll bring you here. Right. But if you

1060
01:10:38,079 --> 01:10:42,720
want to see Alabama. JD. There's a bunch just there's

1061
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:46,640
a hot spot just south of Huntsville, and it looks

1062
01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:54,039
like it centers around Lacy's Spring. And then if you

1063
01:10:55,159 --> 01:10:59,239
come back out, there's another one that centers around William B.

1064
01:10:59,239 --> 01:11:06,520
Bankad Nash Forest. There's one around Tuscaloosa, a dense one

1065
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:12,000
around Aliceville. Uh. And this is one I was talking

1066
01:11:12,039 --> 01:11:14,439
about earlier when I decided to share my screen. Jackson

1067
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:18,800
has a pretty good one. And let's see, did I

1068
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:21,560
miss any really good hot spots? And then there was

1069
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:26,560
one right on the border here near Bruton, Bruton. I

1070
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:29,720
don't know how to say that, so forgive me, but yeah,

1071
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:37,359
there's a lot going on in Alabama. JD. Let's see

1072
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:42,000
Robert Oregon, great answer. I hope, I hope you're referring

1073
01:11:42,039 --> 01:11:46,279
to the uh, the accuracy question, because that's you know,

1074
01:11:46,279 --> 01:11:51,079
it's a hot topic, right. People think that, you know,

1075
01:11:51,119 --> 01:11:53,960
it is easy to get trolled because this is crowdsourcing.

1076
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:55,920
And don't get me wrong, I do go through and

1077
01:11:55,960 --> 01:12:02,039
remove obvious and they're obvious obvious trolling reports as fast

1078
01:12:02,079 --> 01:12:07,039
as possible. There's some funny ones actually, like I think

1079
01:12:07,039 --> 01:12:09,119
it was a fifth grade teacher recently just emailed me

1080
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:14,560
and from Washington, and they do a project where their kids,

1081
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:21,960
their students write letters to lawmakers where they try to

1082
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:26,479
get laws on the books. So basically their lobbying to

1083
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:29,560
protect sasquatch in Washington, which I think is great. It's

1084
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:31,520
a great project for the kids, and it's a great effort.

1085
01:12:33,079 --> 01:12:35,439
But one of the kids in the class, actually the

1086
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:38,039
teacher emailed me because the kid thought it was funny

1087
01:12:38,039 --> 01:12:41,880
to put fake reports in and I found them, but

1088
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:44,439
the teacher also emailed me and made the student write

1089
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:49,479
me a handwritten apology letter and admitting to what they did.

1090
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:52,399
I thought it was, you know, funny, right, because kids

1091
01:12:52,399 --> 01:12:55,560
will be kids. But so I wrote them back and

1092
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:57,920
I'm sending some stickers to their class, you know, for

1093
01:12:58,319 --> 01:13:03,439
being honest. I appreciate it. Scott. When we click on

1094
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:05,960
the new map, are all the reported sidings, tracks and

1095
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:11,399
vocals listed on this map? Yes, So when you click

1096
01:13:11,399 --> 01:13:13,840
on the map, you just have to zoom in to

1097
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:17,960
see them. Sasquatch Wizard, what you'll see at first on

1098
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:21,560
the new map is all the hot spots. And I

1099
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:26,279
did it that way because if I didn't, the reports

1100
01:13:26,279 --> 01:13:28,960
would start to overwhelm the map, and I wanted to

1101
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:31,640
give you, guys, at first glance. I wanted to make

1102
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:36,399
the map as informative as possible. And if there's just

1103
01:13:36,399 --> 01:13:38,479
a point, a bunch of points grouped together, you can't

1104
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:41,800
really discern where the real hot spots are because of

1105
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:43,760
the way that they draw on the map and the

1106
01:13:44,159 --> 01:13:46,560
size of the font. Basically right, they just start to

1107
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:49,880
coalesce really easy. So that's why I decided to build

1108
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:52,800
it that way. But I also kept the classic map

1109
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:54,720
available that has just the points in it if that's

1110
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:57,000
what you want to see, however you want to work

1111
01:13:57,039 --> 01:14:00,880
with it. Both maps are available, but the hotspot one,

1112
01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:05,359
because you know that's really a living a living layer.

1113
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:08,880
If you will, you know, as more reports get submitted,

1114
01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:13,159
those hot spots do update. So I think it's very

1115
01:14:13,199 --> 01:14:18,680
interesting over time to see how the hotspots are growing, shrinking,

1116
01:14:19,399 --> 01:14:25,359
becoming more intense, et cetera. Do you get reports, JD.

1117
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:29,279
I asked you, I answered your question how many in Indiana?

1118
01:14:30,079 --> 01:14:32,800
You know? I did know at one point, but I

1119
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:39,479
don't always count. I don't count them up like that Helton.

1120
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:43,680
But I can tell you at first glance. Here I

1121
01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:45,359
can tell you about how many it looks like in

1122
01:14:45,359 --> 01:14:53,239
Indiana include all the ones I've got, you know, just

1123
01:14:53,239 --> 01:14:55,840
just eyeball, and I'd say between fifty and one hundred,

1124
01:14:55,960 --> 01:15:01,079
maybe a little more in Indiana, so definitely enough. And

1125
01:15:01,239 --> 01:15:03,359
it seems like a lot of them center around the

1126
01:15:03,399 --> 01:15:07,840
Hoosier National Forest and Patoka River National Wildlife Refuge there,

1127
01:15:09,039 --> 01:15:15,399
and then there's some up near Michigan City, the further

1128
01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:21,880
north you go, let's see. Okay, So while I wait

1129
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:24,199
for more questions to come in, I'm gonna get back

1130
01:15:24,199 --> 01:15:29,079
on the tangent that I was talking about with authoritative data,

1131
01:15:30,279 --> 01:15:33,039
and I talked about the crowdsourcing aspects. So what else

1132
01:15:33,079 --> 01:15:35,960
do I want to talk about? Oh, so different analysis

1133
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:39,720
I've done. So. One of the things that comes up

1134
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:43,479
with Bigfoot and the public and people that are trying to,

1135
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:49,479
you know, their skeptics are trying to refute Bigfoot Bigfoot exists,

1136
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:53,039
is they blame existing wildlife. As I don't want to

1137
01:15:53,079 --> 01:15:57,039
say blame. They try to use existing wildlife to explain

1138
01:15:57,960 --> 01:16:03,279
away what people are reporting. So, for example, a lot

1139
01:16:03,279 --> 01:16:07,600
of report reporters and articles lately have talked about bears

1140
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:13,319
being the culprit if you will, for a mistaken encounter

1141
01:16:13,399 --> 01:16:16,079
right where people think they saw a bigfoot when really

1142
01:16:16,159 --> 01:16:18,680
it's a bear walking on its hind legs. And one

1143
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:23,039
of the maps I made, which i'll share my screen again,

1144
01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:28,159
I think this is a really interesting one because you know,

1145
01:16:28,199 --> 01:16:32,039
it's important to if you're going to answer questions, you

1146
01:16:32,079 --> 01:16:36,079
need to answer them with good information. So one of

1147
01:16:36,079 --> 01:16:39,960
the maps I made, there's a bunch out there. I

1148
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:42,479
haven't made a ton lately. I apologize for that. I've

1149
01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:46,960
been busy with a bunch of other projects that will

1150
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:50,359
be I'll be talking about soon and I'll announce them

1151
01:16:50,399 --> 01:16:55,960
through the Instagram. So, but like I was talking about

1152
01:16:56,000 --> 01:17:02,520
just now, brown bears and black bears couldn't possibly account

1153
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:06,439
for bigfoot across the United States. Now, don't get me wrong,

1154
01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:13,319
there's overlapping range between bears and bigfoot. But when you

1155
01:17:13,399 --> 01:17:16,079
look at this map, you can see the shadowy black

1156
01:17:16,119 --> 01:17:18,279
area here that's laying over all the points is a

1157
01:17:18,279 --> 01:17:22,119
black bear range, and then the light brown area is

1158
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:26,359
brown bears. Right, brown bears range is much smaller than

1159
01:17:26,359 --> 01:17:30,479
it used to be. But then you'll notice that outside

1160
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:34,800
of these ranges you're going to see all these Bigfoot reports.

1161
01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:41,000
So how possibly could Bigfoot always be a bear. There

1162
01:17:41,039 --> 01:17:44,000
are Bigfoot reports in areas where it's not a known

1163
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:48,239
bear range. Now, don't get me wrong, black bears can

1164
01:17:48,319 --> 01:17:50,319
be very far ranging and they are known to go

1165
01:17:50,359 --> 01:17:53,960
outside of these established ranges. So is it possible that

1166
01:17:54,039 --> 01:17:57,319
there's black bears, for example, in East Texas. Absolutely, In fact,

1167
01:17:57,399 --> 01:18:03,399
there's been quite a bit of documentation of black bears

1168
01:18:03,399 --> 01:18:06,920
expanding in the East Texas and Louisiana. But is that

1169
01:18:07,279 --> 01:18:10,520
is that an established range? It's it's becoming one, right,

1170
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:14,039
it's coming back to one. So it's possible, right that

1171
01:18:14,199 --> 01:18:18,560
bears probably do get confused for Bigfoot frequently, but is

1172
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:21,319
it always the case? No? And that's what I'm trying

1173
01:18:21,319 --> 01:18:27,119
to show with this map, right, Another map that I've

1174
01:18:27,279 --> 01:18:33,960
I've wanted to show recently is a topic that I

1175
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:39,119
think is very important for people to think about when

1176
01:18:39,159 --> 01:18:47,239
they're looking and trying to understand why Bigfoot hasn't been seen, captured,

1177
01:18:48,039 --> 01:18:53,720
documented better. And that is the actual scale of North America. Right,

1178
01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:55,239
And just that I'm just going to talk about North

1179
01:18:55,239 --> 01:18:59,520
America for now. But when you look at this picture

1180
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:01,680
that I've got in the in the map here on

1181
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:06,279
the screen, all the red areas that you've got on

1182
01:19:06,319 --> 01:19:11,800
the map are urban right areas, So it's like where

1183
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:15,159
most of the population in North America lives are in

1184
01:19:15,199 --> 01:19:19,119
these red areas right, and there's you know, there's some

1185
01:19:19,159 --> 01:19:21,720
smaller ones here as you zoom in, but in general,

1186
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:23,560
the ones that pop out in the map that we're

1187
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:27,079
looking at here is where probably ninety nine percent of

1188
01:19:27,119 --> 01:19:30,840
the population in North America lives. And then people will

1189
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:33,399
still ask the question of you know, how could North

1190
01:19:33,399 --> 01:19:40,079
America support Bigfoot? Well there's your answer, right. Look needly

1191
01:19:40,279 --> 01:19:44,119
forests in general, all that dark green you see Canada

1192
01:19:44,199 --> 01:19:48,119
all the way up to Alaska, throughout the Rockies here

1193
01:19:48,159 --> 01:19:57,760
in East Texas, and then you've got hardwood forests and grasslands,

1194
01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:04,279
wetlands all the way to cropland. There's so much rich

1195
01:20:04,359 --> 01:20:09,920
resources in North America to support wildlife in general, not

1196
01:20:10,079 --> 01:20:13,359
to mention Bigfoot. So I guess my point with bringing

1197
01:20:13,359 --> 01:20:18,279
this map up is that it's very possible for Bigfoot

1198
01:20:18,319 --> 01:20:23,119
to remain hidden because there's just so much land out

1199
01:20:23,159 --> 01:20:27,039
there and such a vast area for it to disappear into.

1200
01:20:27,239 --> 01:20:32,680
I mean, you know, that's just my take on it.

1201
01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:35,800
But being a mapper and understanding that having been in

1202
01:20:35,880 --> 01:20:40,359
many of these places, either driven through, hiked, hunted, worked,

1203
01:20:41,159 --> 01:20:45,079
or all the above. You know, when you get out there,

1204
01:20:45,319 --> 01:20:48,880
you just realize you know how much land there is

1205
01:20:49,119 --> 01:20:52,680
an area and places that are untouched for a creature

1206
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:57,399
like Bigfoot to hide. I don't see any more questions

1207
01:20:57,439 --> 01:20:59,119
in the chat. You guys are off. I hope I'm

1208
01:20:59,159 --> 01:21:02,840
not putting you to sleep. You guys, I'm gonna check

1209
01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:05,119
in YouTube make sure I'm not missing anything real quick,

1210
01:21:05,319 --> 01:21:12,159
but feel free. Please be as bold as possible. Helton,

1211
01:21:12,199 --> 01:21:14,800
I'm still thinking on your twenty dollars. If you're still here,

1212
01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:19,279
I don't know. We'll see how I feel at the

1213
01:21:19,359 --> 01:21:22,760
end of the show. I haven't gotten too many controversial questions.

1214
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:27,920
Nobody's stumped me yet, very open to being stumped. I

1215
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:32,520
would love to see you know what people think. Please

1216
01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:36,399
don't be shy. If not, I'll keep talking for a

1217
01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:39,960
little while. But if I don't get many more questions,

1218
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:43,119
it's been an hour and a half already, so I

1219
01:21:43,199 --> 01:21:47,199
may sign off if I don't get anything coming in

1220
01:21:47,199 --> 01:21:51,560
in the chat. Otherwise it's just me hearing my own voice,

1221
01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:55,560
and you know I do that enough. So oh, here's one.

1222
01:21:55,800 --> 01:22:01,199
Robert Oregon. Have you used your maps for your own sighting?

1223
01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:04,319
Out here in Eugene, Oregon, twenty miles in each direction,

1224
01:22:04,399 --> 01:22:08,119
your map shows a sighting. Thank you again. Yeah, I

1225
01:22:08,239 --> 01:22:14,479
use I use my mind the Bigfoot mapping project all

1226
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:17,800
the time. You know, when I'm going to certain areas

1227
01:22:18,359 --> 01:22:20,720
to plan where i'd like to go, what i'd like

1228
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:23,720
to do, what time of year I'm going, those types

1229
01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:25,720
of things, or if I happen to be going on

1230
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:30,439
like a hunting trip, I'll reference the map and see,

1231
01:22:30,479 --> 01:22:33,439
you know, if I can understand what's happening in the area.

1232
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:39,039
Things like that all definitely, Lee, great question. Has my

1233
01:22:39,199 --> 01:22:46,319
family seen Bigfoot? Yes? Actually I need to have my

1234
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:50,479
brother on the podcast. My brother and my father saw

1235
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:54,960
something they couldn't explain while they were driving early one morning.

1236
01:22:55,119 --> 01:22:57,880
And this isn't the map. It's in New York around

1237
01:22:57,880 --> 01:23:02,079
Beacon and they saw a bigfoot that both of them

1238
01:23:02,119 --> 01:23:05,119
looked at each other after they saw and they were like,

1239
01:23:05,199 --> 01:23:08,319
did you did you see that? It was just off

1240
01:23:08,359 --> 01:23:11,520
the side of the road, standing up walking through the

1241
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:15,640
woods early morning. And I'll definitely I'll have to have

1242
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:20,000
my brother on to tell the story. My brother is

1243
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:24,159
I would say I have two brothers. One is I'm

1244
01:23:24,199 --> 01:23:27,119
the oldest. One is a game warden in New York,

1245
01:23:27,159 --> 01:23:29,560
the equivalent of a game warden. He's an encon officer,

1246
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:32,600
so he works for the DC in New York. And

1247
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:36,479
then my youngest brother is just got out of the army.

1248
01:23:36,520 --> 01:23:40,439
He's an Apache pilot. So between my family, I mean,

1249
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:43,359
we're pretty good at identifying an understanding wildlife. Like my

1250
01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:47,720
degree is GIS with a minor in conservation biology and

1251
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:53,640
computer applications, right, so I'm uniquely qualified to at least

1252
01:23:54,119 --> 01:23:56,039
do the mapping project, I would say. And then my

1253
01:23:56,640 --> 01:24:01,119
brothers are both good at reporting and being observant and

1254
01:24:02,399 --> 01:24:05,800
staying calm in situations like that, so I think it's

1255
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:07,640
definitely worthwhile to get them on the show. I'll have

1256
01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:09,640
to do that. We've talked about it before, it just

1257
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:13,399
hasn't happened. But short answer, Lee, Yeah, my family has

1258
01:24:13,439 --> 01:24:15,199
seen Big Butt, or at least two other people in

1259
01:24:15,239 --> 01:24:21,079
my family. Yes, Kenny, your research area in West Virginia

1260
01:24:21,159 --> 01:24:24,560
is purple. Well, that means there's some sightings nearby, not

1261
01:24:24,680 --> 01:24:28,880
a ton, but definitely some sightings. So you're close to

1262
01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:34,520
a hotspot, which is good. Scott, I don't read these

1263
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:37,239
before I post them, so I might get surprised here, Scott.

1264
01:24:37,279 --> 01:24:39,039
Not that i'd want to do this myself, but I've

1265
01:24:39,079 --> 01:24:42,359
been curious. Can specific researchers inject their information into your

1266
01:24:42,399 --> 01:24:45,239
map without the general public being able to access or

1267
01:24:45,319 --> 01:24:50,920
view it? Not yet, Not yet, I don't. That's not

1268
01:24:51,159 --> 01:24:55,119
how I've intended the project. I hope to keep things

1269
01:24:55,239 --> 01:24:59,079
open for the public, but that's not to say that

1270
01:24:59,119 --> 01:25:02,920
I won't help with research. I will. I don't know

1271
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:05,000
how to handle that, because I'd really like to make

1272
01:25:05,720 --> 01:25:10,800
things transparent. I've started to think about that. If there's

1273
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:15,439
researchers that want to, you know, would like to work

1274
01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:19,560
on things together, I'll absolutely respect it's your data, it's

1275
01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:21,920
your research area, and I wouldn't put it in the

1276
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:24,520
map if you didn't want to allow that, but I

1277
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:27,479
certainly I would want to, you know, maybe map it

1278
01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:30,000
at the county level and say, hey, look, this county's

1279
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:33,319
you know, got a lot of sightings. Heres at the

1280
01:25:33,359 --> 01:25:35,880
county level or some type of area, so people can

1281
01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:37,720
at least know, hey, this is you know, a very

1282
01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:40,880
active area, but maybe not the specific location. I'm not

1283
01:25:40,960 --> 01:25:42,880
quite sure how to handle that. It's a good question,

1284
01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:47,520
bat Mom, I like that name. That's a good name.

1285
01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:50,680
I heard you mentioned the Red River. Have you heard

1286
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:53,039
or know anyone who has had sightings along the Red

1287
01:25:53,119 --> 01:25:56,840
River and Hobo Jungle. I don't know where Hobo Jungle is.

1288
01:25:58,079 --> 01:26:00,640
I'm talking about Red River in Louisiana, right, So I

1289
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:06,239
know there's Red River runs all through a couple of states, right,

1290
01:26:06,319 --> 01:26:09,159
So that's where I'm talking about. Never heard of the

1291
01:26:09,359 --> 01:26:14,960
Hobo Jungle. So I yes to the Red River in Louisiana.

1292
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:22,000
I do know people that have had sightings along that area. Because,

1293
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:24,680
again I said at the beginning of the show, one

1294
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:26,920
of the things that inspired me to start the Bigfoot

1295
01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:31,399
Mapping project was talking to people that had had sightings

1296
01:26:31,399 --> 01:26:34,600
in all across the US while I was doing work

1297
01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:37,000
as a mapper for oil and gas explorations. So I

1298
01:26:37,079 --> 01:26:39,359
always had this idea in the back of my mind

1299
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:43,600
that I should capture this data in a database. And

1300
01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:45,680
it was because of what people were telling me in

1301
01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:49,880
the field along the Red River in Oklahoma. No, I

1302
01:26:50,279 --> 01:26:53,439
don't know anybody there, but there are plenty of other

1303
01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:56,960
Oklahoma locations where I do know people that have seen things,

1304
01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:01,600
particularly way out west in Oklahoma. Near a fair view.

1305
01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:03,439
There's a lot of weird stuff going on that people

1306
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:07,880
told me so very interesting. I love Oklahoma. I spent

1307
01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:12,279
a lot of time there. Let's see, I would like

1308
01:27:12,319 --> 01:27:16,560
to see a database of all the videos, pictures, and

1309
01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:22,199
tracks and trackways available. Sure, that is available through the

1310
01:27:22,239 --> 01:27:24,880
interactive map if you click around, but maybe I can

1311
01:27:24,920 --> 01:27:27,319
put that up in a different way so that you

1312
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:31,720
can access the videos and pictures faster and we can

1313
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:34,359
kind of filter them to the surface. I'll think about

1314
01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:36,960
adding that to the map, or at least make another

1315
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:39,920
link maybe to like a gallery or something. I'll definitely

1316
01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:42,640
think about that, Hilton. I think that's a great, a

1317
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:50,199
great suggestion. Thank you for asking that. Let's see. Yeah,

1318
01:27:50,319 --> 01:27:54,720
thank you for that, Sasquatch Wizard. I appreciate that you

1319
01:27:54,840 --> 01:27:56,840
know you agree and you see my you understand my

1320
01:27:56,880 --> 01:28:03,560
sentiment with that. Excellent let's see your maps took Bigfoot

1321
01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:05,720
research to the next level. Thank you, Robert in Oregon.

1322
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:09,800
I can only hope that one day they help get

1323
01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:14,239
to the truth, get to the answer. I hope it's constructive,

1324
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:20,119
and I hope that you know the data and information

1325
01:28:20,279 --> 01:28:22,720
and the way that I'm collecting it. I hope that

1326
01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:28,479
when we acknowledge and document and start to make laws

1327
01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:31,600
around the protection of bigfoot. I also hope that it

1328
01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:34,199
helps with the conservation of bigfoot. It's made it this

1329
01:28:34,279 --> 01:28:38,239
far without our help. But I do think that, you know,

1330
01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:41,840
we can do better, and that's in the case of

1331
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:45,000
a lot of wildlife in general. But I do think

1332
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:48,880
that conservations a very, very very important part of protecting

1333
01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:56,680
sasquatch in the future. Lee, you touch on an interesting one.

1334
01:28:57,279 --> 01:29:00,199
I think known cave systems would be an interesting that

1335
01:29:00,239 --> 01:29:05,640
can be turned on and off. I one thousand percent agree.

1336
01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:09,840
But believe it or not, mapping specific cave systems and

1337
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:14,159
publishing them is a federal offense. I kid you not.

1338
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:19,960
It's the speeleological act of like I can't remember what year,

1339
01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:27,119
but they publishing specific cave locations and cave networks is

1340
01:29:27,199 --> 01:29:29,840
actually a federal offense because I've gone looking for that

1341
01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:34,880
data and I cannot, for the life of me, get

1342
01:29:35,399 --> 01:29:40,600
specific cave network data in map format. I've gotten cave

1343
01:29:40,680 --> 01:29:43,960
concentration data, like if you look at different For example,

1344
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:48,880
I made a cave concentration density map of Nevada, which

1345
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:53,039
is really interesting. Since you brought it up I'm gonna

1346
01:29:53,039 --> 01:29:55,439
go ahead and share my screen because I think it's

1347
01:29:55,520 --> 01:30:01,359
a very interesting that you're talking about caves, and I'll

1348
01:30:01,359 --> 01:30:02,720
show you what I was, at least what I was

1349
01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:08,399
able to do with cave concentration data that I got

1350
01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:12,439
from Nevada. Oh it's way back. Let's see if I

1351
01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:16,640
can find it. Guys, hit my instagram. If you're ever

1352
01:30:16,680 --> 01:30:19,000
born and you just need something to scroll through, please read.

1353
01:30:19,039 --> 01:30:23,760
I put a lot of thought and effort into the

1354
01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:27,279
maps that I do put out there, so I'd love

1355
01:30:27,319 --> 01:30:30,800
to hear what you think, and I hope it inspires

1356
01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:36,600
some research and new thoughts and shows what gis can do.

1357
01:30:38,159 --> 01:30:42,319
Here's the Nevada map that I was talking about. Lee,

1358
01:30:42,640 --> 01:30:49,880
So I was unable to find cave network data for Nevada.

1359
01:30:49,960 --> 01:30:54,319
But when I looked at face value of all of

1360
01:30:54,359 --> 01:30:58,039
the sightings and bigfoot reports in Nevada, they did not

1361
01:30:58,439 --> 01:31:01,279
make sense to me. They did not. They kind of

1362
01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:05,039
they're sparse. They're you know, if you ignore this cave

1363
01:31:05,079 --> 01:31:07,119
system data that I've got in the map, there's sparse.

1364
01:31:07,840 --> 01:31:12,359
There's no real logical pattern. But then I throw this cave.

1365
01:31:13,279 --> 01:31:16,520
Oh wait, shoot, I'm not sharing my screen, am I now?

1366
01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:21,840
I am sorry. Okay, So uh you'll see, like like

1367
01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:25,000
I was saying, when you look at all the bigfoot reports,

1368
01:31:25,039 --> 01:31:28,520
there's not really a noticeable pattern, right if if you

1369
01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:33,640
exclude this cave concentration data. But when you throw this

1370
01:31:33,720 --> 01:31:37,960
cave concentration data into the map, then it's like whoa

1371
01:31:38,079 --> 01:31:42,319
wait a second. These bigfoot reports all are in a

1372
01:31:42,359 --> 01:31:46,159
certain proximity to these cave concentrations in Nevada. And that

1373
01:31:46,319 --> 01:31:52,279
makes sense, right, fair Point Mountains. That makes a lot

1374
01:31:52,319 --> 01:31:56,159
of sense. Batmm, I see your comment there. But what

1375
01:31:56,560 --> 01:31:59,520
to me, what really tied them together was this cave

1376
01:31:59,560 --> 01:32:06,000
content cave network data. Leave it to me to suggest

1377
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:10,199
the federal offense, you know. Yeah, it's all right. I

1378
01:32:10,279 --> 01:32:12,439
found out through my research and that's that's I'm glad

1379
01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:16,359
I found it before I did anything like that. But yeah,

1380
01:32:16,479 --> 01:32:19,720
then this isn't Avada map. And I think it's really interesting,

1381
01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:25,399
you know, to to really bring in data. And that's

1382
01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:29,279
the great thing about GIS is it can really show

1383
01:32:29,399 --> 01:32:32,079
you what's going on. When you have the right data

1384
01:32:32,159 --> 01:32:34,399
in the map, it can really explain things or at

1385
01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:37,560
least shed some light on what's happening in a very

1386
01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:41,000
easily digestible, very easy way to communicate things. When you

1387
01:32:41,039 --> 01:32:44,520
look at this map, you know, hey, this cave network

1388
01:32:45,039 --> 01:32:48,960
is connecting these bigfoot reports. It's very easy to see.

1389
01:32:49,079 --> 01:32:52,199
So it's one of my favorite things about GIS, and

1390
01:32:52,239 --> 01:32:55,840
I think this is a great example of that and

1391
01:32:55,880 --> 01:32:57,920
how it works and how you can communicate things and

1392
01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:02,119
maybe come up with some hypothesis and maybe even answers

1393
01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:10,439
using GIS and available data. Let's see, I'm gonna go

1394
01:33:10,479 --> 01:33:12,399
for a few more minutes. It's been about an hour

1395
01:33:12,399 --> 01:33:14,359
and a half, but if you get me on the

1396
01:33:14,439 --> 01:33:16,159
right tangent, it could be another hour and a half.

1397
01:33:17,119 --> 01:33:19,439
I'll just see what other questions I might have missed

1398
01:33:19,439 --> 01:33:26,560
in the chat. Let's see, Helton, that would be great.

1399
01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:30,359
I happen to be a pro photographer, so of course

1400
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:33,600
I like to see pictures awesome. I'm a somewhat of

1401
01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:38,119
a novice wildlife photographer myself. You can see behind me

1402
01:33:38,199 --> 01:33:41,960
other hand that's an orca. Well, this is tough. I

1403
01:33:41,960 --> 01:33:45,960
feel like a weatherman. That's an orca. I shot photo

1404
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:50,039
of up in Washington, a ringtail lemur. There's a few

1405
01:33:50,039 --> 01:33:54,319
other photos, alligator gower under the light there. Those are

1406
01:33:54,359 --> 01:33:59,159
all my photos, so yeah, I love photography. Very nice

1407
01:33:59,159 --> 01:34:01,119
to speak to somebody who as it as professional. I'd

1408
01:34:01,119 --> 01:34:03,640
love to be able to figure that out. How could

1409
01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:06,479
I chase bigfoot and take photos and hunt professionally and

1410
01:34:06,600 --> 01:34:13,600
spend all my time outside? That would be great. That's awesome.

1411
01:34:13,680 --> 01:34:16,439
Helton is a rock star. But we should please email

1412
01:34:16,479 --> 01:34:18,199
me or or let me know how I can get

1413
01:34:18,239 --> 01:34:20,079
in touch with you or follow me on Instagram reach out.

1414
01:34:20,119 --> 01:34:24,159
I'd love to see more of your work. Have you

1415
01:34:24,479 --> 01:34:29,359
from cans Squatch, Kansas Squatch? I'm guessing I hope that's

1416
01:34:29,399 --> 01:34:33,960
not you and your profile photo. Have you thought about

1417
01:34:34,039 --> 01:34:41,560
using AI algorithms to scrape YouTube for encounterlocations? I've thought

1418
01:34:41,560 --> 01:34:44,720
about using. Actually I have used AI as an analysis

1419
01:34:44,760 --> 01:34:50,640
tool on the database itself to identify patterns that I

1420
01:34:50,760 --> 01:34:56,520
might not otherwise be able to easily garner, because what

1421
01:34:56,600 --> 01:34:59,960
AI is very good at is reading entire bodies of tech.

1422
01:35:01,359 --> 01:35:07,359
And that's one thing about bigfoot reports is they're very anecdotal.

1423
01:35:08,159 --> 01:35:12,960
So two things about that. One, the form I've created

1424
01:35:13,359 --> 01:35:15,800
tries to standardize the way that reports come in, so

1425
01:35:15,840 --> 01:35:19,680
I can do analysis through GIS and through filters and

1426
01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:23,279
different queries and things. So that's the first part. But

1427
01:35:23,359 --> 01:35:25,720
where I where I haven't been able to do that

1428
01:35:25,960 --> 01:35:28,760
is like the additional comments fiels, where people can really

1429
01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:32,159
type and describe their encounters and what happened and things

1430
01:35:32,159 --> 01:35:34,399
that I might not capture in the form. That is

1431
01:35:34,439 --> 01:35:37,840
where AI is great, right, because it can read all

1432
01:35:37,920 --> 01:35:42,279
of that and contextualize it, and then I can query

1433
01:35:42,279 --> 01:35:45,720
that in plain language and start to get really really

1434
01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:51,000
really useful information out of the entire database in ways

1435
01:35:51,039 --> 01:35:53,319
that might be very difficult if I was to read

1436
01:35:53,359 --> 01:35:55,960
all fourteen thousand reports myself, right and then try to

1437
01:35:56,199 --> 01:35:58,880
try to standardize them, try to do that work. AI

1438
01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:01,119
can do it so much fast and human it's really

1439
01:36:01,119 --> 01:36:04,920
really interesting can squatch. But to get to your question,

1440
01:36:05,279 --> 01:36:09,079
I'll put it up again. Have I thought about using

1441
01:36:09,119 --> 01:36:15,119
AI an algorithm to scrape YouTube for encounter locations? No? No,

1442
01:36:15,319 --> 01:36:18,720
I haven't. Not to say that, I wouldn't. I wouldn't

1443
01:36:18,800 --> 01:36:23,560
do that. I just haven't. I haven't put really a

1444
01:36:23,560 --> 01:36:27,560
lot of thought into how to scrape locations out of YouTube.

1445
01:36:27,720 --> 01:36:36,760
Video submissions, photographs and image files do contain location data

1446
01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:40,279
in the metadata. FYI, if you help and will back

1447
01:36:40,319 --> 01:36:43,920
me up on this, there's a lot you can learn

1448
01:36:43,960 --> 01:36:48,920
about them about a lot of metadata attached in like

1449
01:36:49,039 --> 01:36:51,560
JPEGs and things that people don't realize is in is

1450
01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:54,199
in the metadata, including like the model of your camera,

1451
01:36:54,239 --> 01:36:56,680
the settings, all kinds of stuff. But one of those things,

1452
01:36:56,680 --> 01:36:59,000
if you have location turned on on your phone or

1453
01:36:59,039 --> 01:37:02,600
your camera, the location of that where the image was taken,

1454
01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:05,560
does get embedded into the metadata, and you can scrape

1455
01:37:05,600 --> 01:37:08,039
that and extract that from photos, and then you can

1456
01:37:08,079 --> 01:37:10,239
plot that in maps. And there are a lot of

1457
01:37:10,399 --> 01:37:13,800
algorithms and software that does that, including law enforcement software.

1458
01:37:14,119 --> 01:37:17,239
There's AI that does that. There's an AI now that

1459
01:37:17,319 --> 01:37:19,359
just came out I forget the name of it, where

1460
01:37:19,560 --> 01:37:24,319
it can identify where a picture was taken from inside

1461
01:37:24,359 --> 01:37:26,039
of a building. So if you're like sitting in your room,

1462
01:37:26,039 --> 01:37:29,079
but it can still see a little bit outside of

1463
01:37:29,199 --> 01:37:34,600
like the like your neighbor's house or something. It can

1464
01:37:34,720 --> 01:37:39,520
use Google streets and images data to to figure out

1465
01:37:39,560 --> 01:37:42,000
where that photo is taken. It's insane what AI can do.

1466
01:37:42,079 --> 01:37:45,880
It's a little actually a little worrisome because you know,

1467
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:52,640
surveillance will become so much easier. But I digress. Short

1468
01:37:52,680 --> 01:37:54,199
answer to your question, I haven't thought about it, but

1469
01:37:54,239 --> 01:38:04,920
there's a lot AI can do. Let's see. Let's see, Lee,

1470
01:38:05,800 --> 01:38:10,479
let's see Helton. You guys are great. Thank you for

1471
01:38:10,520 --> 01:38:12,560
tuning in. By the way, this is fun. I wasn't

1472
01:38:12,600 --> 01:38:15,359
sure how this was going to turn out. I've never

1473
01:38:15,399 --> 01:38:19,680
done a live before, so yeah, I was winging it.

1474
01:38:19,880 --> 01:38:21,960
But here we are, and I think we've talked about

1475
01:38:21,960 --> 01:38:23,600
a bunch of good things. There's been a lot of

1476
01:38:23,640 --> 01:38:31,439
good questions. Sasquatch Wizard says regarding Lee's question about cave systems, Lee,

1477
01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:34,039
that was an excellent topic. I've served for cave mapping

1478
01:38:34,119 --> 01:38:37,359
or any cave information so many times. I am one

1479
01:38:37,359 --> 01:38:40,800
who leans towards subterranean Bigfoot living quarters being a possibility.

1480
01:38:41,840 --> 01:38:45,880
You know, it's a to to to add to your comment,

1481
01:38:46,119 --> 01:38:49,199
sasquatch Wizard, there's you know, that's how a lot of

1482
01:38:49,359 --> 01:38:55,960
human evolution occurred was in cave systems. And uh, there's

1483
01:38:56,039 --> 01:39:00,760
so much archaeological information and artifacts that are found in

1484
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:07,079
cave systems that contribute to human history that it's only

1485
01:39:07,159 --> 01:39:13,359
logical that something like Bigfoot would also use caves. Let's

1486
01:39:13,399 --> 01:39:16,159
see what is my tattoo of? Oh that's an owl.

1487
01:39:17,039 --> 01:39:19,800
It's hard to see, but it's an owl. Let me

1488
01:39:19,840 --> 01:39:21,720
see it there, put it in front of the camera.

1489
01:39:24,279 --> 01:39:27,600
It's a owls seem to follow me around, so I

1490
01:39:27,800 --> 01:39:29,880
it's my spirit animal, I guess, and that's why I

1491
01:39:29,920 --> 01:39:36,760
have it on my arm. Let's see any other questions

1492
01:39:36,800 --> 01:39:40,399
you guys. I am starting to wind down. I'll probably

1493
01:39:40,439 --> 01:39:44,159
go maybe fifteen twenty more minutes and then I'll wrap

1494
01:39:44,199 --> 01:39:46,399
it up. So if you have anything that's burning and

1495
01:39:46,439 --> 01:39:48,800
you haven't decided to put it into the chat, please

1496
01:39:49,199 --> 01:39:54,119
please ask now. I'd love to get on another topic

1497
01:39:54,359 --> 01:39:58,840
and talk about anything that you want to talk about.

1498
01:39:59,760 --> 01:40:03,600
Please these suggestions, criticisms, I got a thick skin, doesn't

1499
01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:05,439
even have to be constructive. Just let me know what

1500
01:40:05,479 --> 01:40:12,399
you think. I'd be excited to to really hear it

1501
01:40:12,439 --> 01:40:15,720
all unfiltered. You guys have been great, though. I think

1502
01:40:15,720 --> 01:40:21,680
these have been great questions. If not, I'm going to

1503
01:40:21,720 --> 01:40:26,880
fill the last fifteen minutes by just talking in general

1504
01:40:26,920 --> 01:40:29,039
about ways that you can get in touch with me,

1505
01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:35,439
things that I would love to, you know, to work

1506
01:40:35,520 --> 01:40:39,640
on or do in the future. So the first thing,

1507
01:40:39,920 --> 01:40:42,479
a great way to get in touch with me. The

1508
01:40:42,479 --> 01:40:48,399
way that I communicate the most is through Instagram. I

1509
01:40:48,439 --> 01:40:51,840
post and publish what's going on in big the big

1510
01:40:51,840 --> 01:40:58,960
Foot Mapping Project world. Like I said, I'm working on

1511
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:02,880
a bunch of projects that kind of are still in

1512
01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:06,000
the Bigfoot world, but I can't really share all the

1513
01:41:06,039 --> 01:41:11,199
details yet hit the Instagram. I don't even know how

1514
01:41:11,199 --> 01:41:13,159
they're going to shape up, which is why I can't

1515
01:41:13,159 --> 01:41:15,439
really talk about them because I don't even know what's

1516
01:41:15,439 --> 01:41:19,359
going on with them. I'm just they're they're evolving, I

1517
01:41:19,399 --> 01:41:22,399
guess would be a good way to say it. What

1518
01:41:22,520 --> 01:41:27,319
else is going on. I've got some new work going

1519
01:41:27,399 --> 01:41:31,840
on with the app itself. Surprised nobody asked about me

1520
01:41:32,079 --> 01:41:34,680
about it in the chat. But you'll notice the Bigfoot

1521
01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:38,720
Mapping Project phone mobile app is not available and Android anymore.

1522
01:41:39,640 --> 01:41:42,840
The version just lapsed. I need to make a whole

1523
01:41:42,880 --> 01:41:44,640
new app to get it into the app store, so

1524
01:41:44,680 --> 01:41:48,199
I am working on that. You should see it sometime soon.

1525
01:41:48,399 --> 01:41:50,840
Getting a brand new app out is a lot of work,

1526
01:41:50,920 --> 01:41:56,800
so I'm doing that when I can. But in the meantime,

1527
01:41:56,960 --> 01:41:59,680
the bigfootmap dot Com. Both maps that are out there,

1528
01:41:59,680 --> 01:42:03,600
the map and the new map are very mobile friendly.

1529
01:42:03,640 --> 01:42:06,199
I design them that way on purpose, so you can

1530
01:42:06,239 --> 01:42:08,920
still get into the map and it would behave very

1531
01:42:09,039 --> 01:42:13,359
similarly to an actual mobile app on your phone. And

1532
01:42:13,399 --> 01:42:17,199
then let's see. Another way to get in touch with

1533
01:42:17,239 --> 01:42:23,399
me is Scott at bigfootmap dot com. If you have

1534
01:42:23,439 --> 01:42:25,319
a burning question and you didn't want to answer it

1535
01:42:25,640 --> 01:42:28,399
ask it in the chat, please, by all means reach

1536
01:42:28,439 --> 01:42:32,439
out Scott at bigfootmap dot com. I'll do my best

1537
01:42:32,479 --> 01:42:36,479
to get back to you. You know, sometimes I'm traveling

1538
01:42:36,560 --> 01:42:38,159
or something might take me a little while, but I'll

1539
01:42:38,199 --> 01:42:42,439
always always reply, So please reach out to me there.

1540
01:42:42,520 --> 01:42:44,880
If your question didn't get answered in the chat here.

1541
01:42:46,279 --> 01:42:49,359
Another way to get in touch with me would be

1542
01:42:49,399 --> 01:42:51,960
on Facebook. I have a group, so please go ahead

1543
01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:54,159
and join if you want, the Bigfoot Mapping Project group

1544
01:42:54,199 --> 01:43:00,439
on Facebook. And then, last, but not least, this is

1545
01:43:00,479 --> 01:43:06,239
a monthly podcast mapping Bigfoot that I do for Doug

1546
01:43:06,319 --> 01:43:11,760
high check he is he runs. You'll know Doug Hicheck

1547
01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:15,680
from Untold Radio Am and Monster Quest on the History Channel.

1548
01:43:16,279 --> 01:43:19,000
He put together the whole network of all different podcasts

1549
01:43:20,239 --> 01:43:23,760
talking about all kinds of things, from Bigfoot to aliens

1550
01:43:23,800 --> 01:43:27,159
to all kinds of stuff. Please check out the Untold

1551
01:43:27,239 --> 01:43:31,279
Radio Am channel a bunch of good stuff to listen

1552
01:43:31,319 --> 01:43:36,640
to while you're driving at work. Et cetera. And then also,

1553
01:43:37,079 --> 01:43:38,760
like I said, this is on once a month, second

1554
01:43:38,800 --> 01:43:42,199
Saturday of every month's show. It's usually about an hour,

1555
01:43:42,920 --> 01:43:44,960
but if we really have a good guest or I

1556
01:43:45,079 --> 01:43:48,680
just feel talkative that night, sometimes it'll be like three hours.

1557
01:43:48,720 --> 01:43:51,239
So buckle up. You never know what you're in for.

1558
01:43:51,359 --> 01:43:54,159
But please come listen. And if you guys, you know, really,

1559
01:43:55,760 --> 01:43:58,079
if you have somebody that you'd like me to have

1560
01:43:58,159 --> 01:44:02,399
on the show and talk to an interview, please by

1561
01:44:02,439 --> 01:44:06,239
all means drop that in the chat, email me, connect

1562
01:44:06,319 --> 01:44:08,199
me if you know them, if you think they need

1563
01:44:08,199 --> 01:44:10,720
to be on the show. The premise of the show

1564
01:44:10,880 --> 01:44:15,560
in general is, you know what I try to do

1565
01:44:15,600 --> 01:44:20,359
with ma Bi Bigfoot is pull experts and people that

1566
01:44:20,439 --> 01:44:24,640
aren't necessarily in the field of bigfoot research into the show,

1567
01:44:24,680 --> 01:44:28,399
and I try to learn from them and apply what

1568
01:44:28,600 --> 01:44:32,159
they're experts into bigfoot research. And the idea in that

1569
01:44:32,319 --> 01:44:34,119
is that we're going to break out of this echo

1570
01:44:34,199 --> 01:44:37,199
chamber that's kind of happening, or at least from my

1571
01:44:37,239 --> 01:44:40,279
experience in the bigfoot community right now, there's a lot

1572
01:44:40,319 --> 01:44:44,239
of well in that could echo chamber, right so there's

1573
01:44:44,279 --> 01:44:46,800
there's just we I don't want to say we've plateaued.

1574
01:44:46,800 --> 01:44:50,600
But you know, new information never hurt, new methods never hurt.

1575
01:44:50,640 --> 01:44:53,319
Looking at things from a different angle always helps. So

1576
01:44:53,359 --> 01:44:56,560
that's what I'm trying to do. I hope it helps you, guys,

1577
01:44:56,560 --> 01:45:01,319
and I think that's what you know the show's all about.

1578
01:45:02,359 --> 01:45:06,319
With that, I don't see I'm seeing some scary information.

1579
01:45:06,800 --> 01:45:09,880
In chat. People are saying the owls are not what

1580
01:45:09,920 --> 01:45:13,039
they seem. Well, I see a lot of owls, seriously,

1581
01:45:15,399 --> 01:45:18,680
so I'm a little concerned with that. Don't tell me anymore.

1582
01:45:18,840 --> 01:45:24,199
I want to sleep tonight. So let's see SUMMATI says

1583
01:45:24,560 --> 01:45:27,199
you'd like to see a gallery at as well. Okay,

1584
01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:29,920
all right, consider it. Don I'll figure out how to

1585
01:45:29,920 --> 01:45:36,880
get that up there. Let's see four cond lots of work,

1586
01:45:37,199 --> 01:45:39,720
all right, wonder if there's a bigfoot and owl connection?

1587
01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:42,640
Who knows? Who knows? See what I did there, it's

1588
01:45:42,680 --> 01:45:50,199
an owl joke. Let's see, all right, y'all. I think

1589
01:45:50,279 --> 01:45:51,920
with that, I've let you know how to get a

1590
01:45:51,920 --> 01:45:57,399
hold of me, and I don't see any more questions.

1591
01:45:57,600 --> 01:45:59,960
I think this has been a great show. I've enjoyed

1592
01:46:00,119 --> 01:46:04,800
talking with all of you guys. Please come back for

1593

1595
01:46:13,560 --> 01:46:15,560

1596
01:46:15,600 --> 01:46:21,439
that new Fox TV show that's coming out called Extracted.

1597
01:46:21,640 --> 01:46:24,640
He's one of the cast members from that show, also

1598
01:46:24,720 --> 01:46:29,920
a hunter, also a bigfoot believer. So I think you

you guys. His name is Austin leg and he's gonna

1601
01:46:35,920 --> 01:46:38,800
be on the show. I'm talking to him at the

1602
01:46:38,840 --> 01:46:40,600

1604
01:46:44,880 --> 01:46:47,960
next next month's episode. It's gonna be awesome. He and

1605
01:46:48,039 --> 01:46:51,319
I have corresponded since before he did this TV show,

1606
01:46:52,039 --> 01:46:54,439
and we've talked about bigfoot back and forth, talked about

1607
01:46:54,520 --> 01:46:56,359
hunting here and there. He's given me some great advice.

1608
01:46:57,199 --> 01:47:01,239
He's got a wild story, he's got a great insight,

1609
01:47:01,399 --> 01:47:04,680
especially being such an expert hunter like he is. Cannot

1610
01:47:04,680 --> 01:47:07,399
wait to have him on the show. I think you

1611
01:47:07,439 --> 01:47:10,239
guys will really enjoy that episode. So please come back

1612
01:47:10,279 --> 01:47:13,319
next month in March and have a listen and join us.

1613
01:47:13,399 --> 01:47:16,680
I think I think it'll be great. Y'all have a

1614
01:47:16,720 --> 01:47:20,199
great night, and with that, I'm gonna end the show.

1615

I do want to say good luck in your search.

1616
01:47:24,560 --> 01:47:29,319
If you're out there putting in the miles, that's all

1617
01:47:29,359 --> 01:47:32,399
it takes, right, just time in the field and you'll

1618
01:47:32,439 --> 01:47:38,159
get results. Be prepared, be careful, and be ready. Enjoy,

1619
