I have long wondered what people felt when they looked into the eyes of a sasquatch, up close. Did they feel that they were being looked at with clear cunning..some might pick the phrase...knowing eyes? Or was it like looking into the eyes of a pet and seeing some form or recognition there? Or was it like looking into the eyes of a wild disconnected animal. In the few reports which addressed this, the people always chose the latter. However, in most reports the sasquatch either moved away during a daylight encounter and almost always made little, if any, eye contact. Sasquatch submissiveness? More evidence of a gentle nature? The only reports of a sasquatch with an aggressive and confrontational demeanor all came from the indian stories of encounters...or storied out of the old west. Beaumann..the intimidation of the people working a copper mine who were terrorized for weeks by an invading creature who came at night...Ape Canyon....etc! There is not a single report of sasquatch aggressiveness which led up to an attack in the past 100 years. So does that tell us more about the creature..or more about the times in which these people of the old west and rural areas lived? And about their interaction with the wilderness. Back then..there were monsters in the hills..go out well armed! These days people are more likely to protest the harm of such a creature in the name of the environment! So...are the stories different? Are the sasquatch different? Or is it just the people who tell the stories who have changed.....?

Terry Reams, who was seated in a stopped car and no more than 4 to 6 feet from a Sasquatch standing at the side of the road, had said that he looked into the animal's eyes and saw 'fear' in its face. The Sasquatch had been trying to cross a busy highway just moments before.
Betty Unger said to me that the Sasquath she saw at close range had a look of disgust on on its face.
William Roe who saw the Sasquatch on Mica Mountain said, "Finally the wild thing must have got my scent, for it looked directly at me through an opening in the brush. A look of amazement crossed its face. It looked so comical at the moment I had to grin. Still in a crouched position, it backed up three or four short steps, then straightened up to its full height and started to walk rapidly back the way it had come. For a moment it watched me over its shoulder as it went, not exactly afraid, but as though it wanted no contact with anything strange."

I'd like to experience that moment of 'recognition' between species when looking into it's eyes, hmmm. But'll probably be myself who responds with fear, I don't know. I'm prepared to be overwhelmed by a face to face. the look of 'amazement' description above by William Roe does bring a smile to my face

I have hunted the Sasquatch around Harrison lake on a full-time basis since 2005 and I have yet to run into another Researcher/Bigfoot hunter while in the bush. Getting out there is half of the battle. Good luck!

I didn't post the above as a dreamy wish as I'm not one to armchair surf this subject, hehe. There are few areas we are looking my friend and not everyone enjoys the 'full time' status for various reasons and get out when they can. Bill, how often do you get out there? I aim for every second weekend due to other responsibilities at home. You've got the jump man. If you want some company some time, drop me a message and I'll pass along my phone number.

not everyone enjoys the 'full time' status for various reasons and get out when they can. Bill, how often do you get out there? If you want some company some time, drop me a message and I'll pass along my phone number. When it comes to Sasquatch hunting ... I have given up a lot to be in the position that I am in. To be able to seek out this animal full time, I often find myself alone and using my own money as wisely as I can in an effort to achieve my goal at filming this animal in the wild. Because this endeavor calls for a lot of time in the bush, having a personal life is almost non-existent. The term 'full-time' is used to mean more than 40 hrs. a week isx gievn to the search. Often times I spend more than 10 hours a day at it and at times I have been out there seven days a week.
Finding people who will help pay the way to take these trips into the bush have been few and far between. Only these past few months and when I made my expense concerns known has Gerry put me in touch with people who want to go out when they can and don't mind sharing the expense. Not long ago there was one WCS member who was seeking me out to go out in the bush on a regular basis. That person's drive impressed me deeply. This individual had a lot of heart and desire that I seldom see in others, but didn't have much going for them in the realm of being knowledgeable at investigating the evidence. I had to smile when this person could stop and stare at a tree for a period of time that had the bark avulsed outward on one side and not see that it was the result of being shot full of bullet holes. But I knew that this particular individual was new at this and I felt that this person had a lot of potential. You see there are those who talk Sasquatch often - there are those who dwell in the subject only when its convenient, and then there are those who have a deep driven passion to pursue the subject with almost every waking moment. This person fit the latter as I do. Unfortunately we had a serious difference of opinion as to 'bush safety' and when it is and isn't necessary to take chances and this person didn't seem to like hearing about it, thus we stopped hunting the animal together.
Tom Steenburg was accompanying me a lot in the bush over the past few years, but it got to where he didn't have the funds to go that out much and I didn't have the funds to continue carrying his share of the cost. This was when Gerry Mathews stepped up to the plate and started trying to get people involved in joining me in the hunt. While the individual that I was going into the bush with on a regular basis didn't work out ... I saw each and every person I have gone out with as a pleasure to have along. The evidence far too often has come few and far between on these trips, but each time out brings an adventure worth its weight in gold in my view. So yes, I welcome anyone to go out in the bush with me if they are up to it.
I use a Polaris 6WD to infiltrate as many areas as possible in search of the animal's presence whether it be its tracks or the creature itself. It allows me to cover a large area in a short amount of time in hopes that the Sasquatch and/or the evidence it leaves behind will cross paths with me. The cost per day is usually around $50 in fuel. I can take up to three to four people at a time if so desired. This allows us to get out together collectively and scour an area thoroughly in the event that we come across something of interest. I make no profit, thus the cost is split by the number of people going with me.
My email is Imsjle@aol.com
I look forward to hearing from you.

In both my and hiker11's encounter's, (separate encounter's to those who don't know) we heard the growl. If you heard the growl you would know this thing is not so much friendly. And just as he described it seems to go through you. I also had a rock thrown in my general direction... about two inches behind my left foot, again not so friendly.
p.s. I may just take you up on that offer Bill.

Some people have mentioned in their experience that the males are "grumpy" and the females and young ones more open to contact, more curious. Maybe you met up with a territorial old male? I suspect not all sasquatches are the same.

I suspect not all sasquatches are the same. I was thinking maybe a younger male trying to claim territory, but still scary.

I believe sasquatch to be no more dangerous than any other animal you would meet in the woods.Deer can be dangerous if you corner them for instance.Bears can be dangerous which is why you should be making lots of noise to let them know you're in the area.Which of course lets every other creature big and small know you're there....damn those bear bells!LOL!

I figure when they throw rocks and scream and are just plain out being a terror,it's for a reason.Food source?Water source?Protecting mates and little ones?Or is it territory?They try to intimidate a person into leaving without a physical confrontation.Its really gotta send them for a loop when they throw a rock at you and you throw it back at them!Any body want to guess at the out come of that one...
