IF you hear some banging back, wait a few more minutes then do it again. you will find over the course of the night the response will get closer and closer.


That is my "strange happening"
and I dont care who knows. lol

I have heard of this same thing but it was described as sounding like someone took a baseball bat and hit a tree and then very quickly it would be 50 yards in a different direction. And no this isnt bull****

Thus I have a tendecy to disbelieve they exsist. Maybe you will prove me wrong someday, and would't mind if you did, it would be neat if we did have them. Good luck in your search.

A Fracmaster frac crew had one watch them a few years ago near FSJ

[BANG]

a few years ago a buddy and his girlfriend were camping in a converted bus.
i got a frantic call at about 3am one morning they were freaked right out and heading for town in his truck.story goes they were sleeping when all of a sudden the bus started rocking back and forth so violently he could barely walk down the aisle while holding onto things to support himself.
they had two big super aggressive rotties tied up outside that did not make a sound the whole time.
The next day 5 of us went back ,we tried rocking the bus and could bairly move it at all,no claw marks or tracks anywhere?
3 of us spent the night on the roof of that bus locked and loaded while him and his girlfriend slept but what ever it was did not return.
there have been many storys of bigfoot sightings in this area.
who knows what it could of been but weird non the less

My ex-husband.

[AlbertaSasquatch]

I'm surprised he's your ex if his feet were that big...

As far as melted out tracks, not a chance, I have seen them a million times and this is clearly not the case.

Big boots? I don't think so, not unless there were visible toes to leave toe marks on the boots.

Any other ideas?

[Shaggy]

From what I can see in the pics, the distance between the prints is fairly long. Even more so considering the uphill slope. Usually walking through deep snow up hill the steps are close together to keep the knee bent for the upward push. With steps far apart on the hill like that, the leg was either very long (and those are short steps) or very strong to push up with an almost straight leg. Hence the reason I asked how far apart the prints are.

He looks like a big ginger Sasquatch.

And, big feet are merely an indicator of a sturdy foundation. Nothing else

Got my first Sasquatch when I was 11 years old. 10'9" monster.

Now I hunt them strictly for meat. 2-3 year olds.

[mudbug]

That's quite the spacing between the footprints and the snow looks to be deep as well so.......

[rugatika]

Good stride going uphill, and what's interesting is it looks like you can see the shape of a foot as opposed to the shape of a boot. Cool...would have been interesting to see what made them. Also it doesn't look like there are any drag marks like you'd usually see...although they may have filled in with snow.

[steve]

Very interesting tracks, definetly not a human walking normally up a hill through deep snow, also very "in line". Could possibly be a human trying to make some odd looking tracks. Or.....

[packhuntr]

Seems to me that you are ONLY looking for reasons why it IS what you want it to be, when you SHOULD be looking for reasons why it ISNT. Once you start doing that you will find that stuff like these pictures of some melted out more than likely moose tracks, are not what you would call "evidence". You even went so far as to photograph the track that best shows a footprint like appearance,,, well why not show the tracks that DO NOT and COULD NOT have been made by a foot. Just try scrutinizing like this next time you shop for a pair of hunting boots, or a vehicle etc etc, I guarantee you wont talk yourself into purchasing something sub-par, you will end up with exactly what you need to do the job everytime. When there are so many brands and companies that can sorta do the job, its easy to see what we want to see and talk our selves into a purchase. We need to do the opposite, and ask ourselves why these things will not do.

Melted moose tracks.. that's hilarious.

I guess it could be hilarious, unless all the moose youve ever seen are different than any other ungulate that Ive seen, and yours dont step in the front track with the back hooves,

[AlbertaSasquatch]

First off packhuntr, I am not looking for reasons why it is Sasquatch that made these tracks, I am actually looking for reasons why Sasquatch never made these tracks. That is why I posted them up here, in the hopes that some experienced outdoorsman can say "This is clearly a such and such track and here are some comparitive photos to prove it." Or something like that.

I didn't post these track and say "These are definitely Sasquatch tracks!" I asked for the opinions of everyone because I thought this would be a great place to ask some pros what might have made these tracks. Obviously I am not going to agree with all the opinions of the members here, such as your melted out moose track theory or Ken's big boot theory, but I thank you for taking the time to look at them and give us your opinion on them. I simply don't agree with you.

I also wasn't peddling this as solid Sasquatch evidence. There is no such thing unless the body is brought in on the slab. I posted them more for the "hmmmm" factor, and in the hopes that someone could solidly identify them.

I also never photographed these tracks but I don't thinks its a case of the photographer taking a picture of the best print that looks the most like a human print and ignoring all the other ones that look like, oh I don't know, melted out moose tracks. They all look pretty much the same to me in the pictures.

[outdoors forever]

Very interesting photos.

Do you know where they came from and where they went? Did the picture taker follow them at all or just snap the pics from there? Where abouts in the Province were they taken?

I, for one, think theres no way those are moose tracks.

[AlbertaSasquatch]

They were taken near Grande Cache a few weeks ago.

[AlbertaSasquatch]

Anyone else have any ideas on what might have made these tracks?

[PGH]

is it possible that the tracks are from someone running with snowshoes on? I've seen people who run with them on for fun and the tracks looked similar. just a guess!

[AlbertaSasquatch]

You crack me up Ken. All of us damn stoner hippies out there seeing Sasquatch. I must not be smoking the good stuff or not enough of it because I'm always looking but haven't seen one yet. Maybe I should try mushrooms...

That might be a good guess PGH, anyone have any comparable pics from snowshoers?

[Ken07AOVette]

I truly hope you are successful in your quest.

[AlbertaSasquatch]

Awww thanks Ken!

I'd think there would be drag marks between the prints if they were from snowshoes especially going up an incline as well

Ken they do exist
So does Ogo Pogo, I'm gonna catch one of those sometime when I'm out there next All I need is a gravel truck with a winch on the front, a turkey on a grappling hook and a large buoy to use as a bobber and I'm gonna catch one
Then we'll see who's laughing ;o)

fixed for you buddy!
