Soar with eagles,
One predator not yet discussed yet- go to BFRO site. Ca - im in placerville/ ca has a healthy population of bigfoot.
Yes they do exist and the signs are there if you know what to look for.
As our weather warms activity increases.
They use forested/ BLM areas to cross onto
Populated farms where small animals are easily snatched. They dont always leave tracks. They dont like trail cams!!
Signs to look for
Crossed branches / young green trees
Foot prints. Rocks thrown at you, growling shaking of bushes young trees- howling etc

2nd incident was on or very near my property, tho I didn't live on site at the time. (E. Fork San Jacinto River is my east property line and FM 2025 is approx 3/4mile as the crow flies from my house. The river never crosses FM 2025 but does cross FM 945, which intersects 2025 1/4 mile East of the river) Brother and I read this account and concluded the prints they saw were from us working on the river fence a day or 2 earlier in muck boots and the noises were from my father working late at nights on a big barn. We were both on property working the last 2 weeks of May 2005. The barn is located 2000' to the West of the alleged site, but a big bluff is present on the other (East) side of the river and sound bounces off it and makes it sound as if the noise is coming from the river area, not from the west.

We've had this property since 1964 and I can honestly say I have never seen or heard any evidence of a 'Bigfoot' existing here. (or anyywhere else for that matter)

Imagine the sounds your Dad was hearing coming from the two researchers while he was just quietly(or apparently not) working on the barn! o_O

Additional thought: Dad whacked thumb with hammer and howls in pain, then gutteral cursing. Goes back to some more hammering. :lol:

First I am sorry that this happened. My husband and I have had experience with this same issue. We found out that it was a mountain lion. We found tracks around our sheep pen and the woods. Our neighbor got pictures of it on his game cameras.

As our preacher once said, being a Christian doesn't mean that you have to take bad treatment from others and smile like you like it, when you don't. He also goes armed and believes in protecting his family and flock.
Amen! I will always along with my husband will always Protect our family and flock.

Many people say that... Not many (thankfully) are ever put to the test. It's very hard to imagine yourself staring down a threat to your life and being willing and more importantly ABLE to pull the trigger and take a life... Some heavy stuff there.

I hope I never have to find out if I am up to the challenge. When I had children at home I had no doubt that the mama bear would have prevailed or died tryin'. But I will tell you that I came very close to shooting a grey horse in the predawn hours one time. I was home alone, new to this area, gravel roads, no fences, dogs barking like crazy and yet backing up, no one answering when I yelled "who's there" and hearing crunching gravel, and could make out a dim shadow of something moving that was about 6' tall. My new neighbors would have thought that this city dweller transplant had lost it for sure but thankfully the sun kept rising and I could finally see what the "threat" was. I felt pretty dumb.

About 20 years ago, my then middle-school aged daughter, got on the school bus one morning and I went back to bed. Twenty minutes later I hear something downstairs...doors opening and rummaging around. I grabbed my pistol and start sneaking down to see what the heck is going on. I made it downstairs while still hearing all sorts of noises, peer around the corner, pistol at the ready only to find my daughter back home looking for something she'd forgotten. (The bus route made a loop and on the way back they let her off to run in and find her forgotten item.) As soon as I saw it was her I had a total meltdown. I was well-trained enough with a firearm to make sure I looked before pulling the trigger - but it was enough to shake me to my core...
