Summary: BLACK BF CHASES MOUNTAIN GOAT

Sighting Text:
TR 87 MAY 1999 * Rob Alley, kokanee@ptialaska.net , May 28, 1999. I have one old (60's) hunters' story, third hand, about a very tall black, hairy manlike creature chasing a herd of mountain goats down toward the hunters at treeline above Rudyerd Bay in Misty Fjords. There are some very low spring neap tides in S.E. AK and coastal BC that would offer a Sasquatch tremendous foraging opportunities for shellfish. Bob Titmus told someone once that it was his feeling that the key dietary item up here was the seed of the shore pine, Pinus contorta, which grows along the ocean and in higher muskegs in good number. I don't know who the BC team of scientists searching the upper BC coast this summer are but I imagine they have all this considered in some way or form.

Sighting Text:
AK 1970’S TR94 I ROB ALLEY have one previous report from another fisherman and his uncle from the early seventies near there, at Tombstone Bay, where a black fur-covered manlike creature was seen through binoculars for five minutes at dawn, October, as it sat on the beach digging in the sand with a stick the size of a small baseball bat, occasionally putting one hand to its mouth. Of course local natives have many stories of "baa'oosh" or "buk'wish" (glossed in Tsimshean as "ape, monkey, Bigfoot, anything that imitates man." New in print, and of immense value to field researchers up here in Alaska, is the publication of "Animal Tracks of Alaska" by Ian Sheldon and Tamara Hartson,(Lone Pine Publishing, Renton, Washington-also Edmonton, Alberta, website: http://www.lonepinepublishing.com , published 1999). In this informative 144 page beautifully illustrated field guide lurks an entry (p.96) under the mammalian section entitled "Sasquatch (Bigfoot)" complete with a credible range of track dimensions and a good summary of the animal with illustration.

Hey Yankeesearch, didn’t even know you were in chat, now you have the bug so bad you will have to keep going out to see another one. :)
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:56 am »
Anyway, as I stand before God, I did not make this up!
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:55 am »
Not saying it was Sq/BF/DM/Yeti... but it was strange. And I am locking my doors tonight for sure! :lol:
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:54 am »
And just I was turning away, I thought I heard snort -- which could have been deer or maybe cattle... but... I do not know.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:53 am »
I did not have the creepy feeling I normally get in these situations... so I really do not know what to make of it.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:53 am »
One detail I forgot to mention: the whoop had almost a human like talk after it on both occasions.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:52 am »
I walked back to the other side, and thought I heard a knock...
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:51 am »
Cattle about 1/8th mile away disappeared... and strangely at that location: it sounded like something banged the metal fence. Not loud... but never ever heard it before tonight.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:50 am »
Two whoops... and some deer scattering (they may have been scattering because of me).
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:50 am »
From 6:20 PM to maybe 6:45 PM CST
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:49 am »
I may have just had an encounter!
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:46 am »
Hi gang! I know it has been a long time...
@ BrianDriver « Sat 12:59 pm »
Good quality pics. How long were the cams out?
@ admin « Thu 9:09 pm »
Just to get the chat going, it’s going to take some time to move over all the data, but in the end, hope everyone likes the layout here.
