00:00:26,528 --> 00:00:32,439
I stumbled on something that I could not
5
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:34,840
believe at first but soon realized it
6
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:37,359
had significance on me and everyone
7
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:40,930
around me which could not be ignored or
8
00:00:37,359 --> 00:00:44,710

00:02:46,009 --> 00:02:52,068
I've spent all my life in areas like
22
00:02:48,289 --> 00:02:54,579
this as close to the animals as a man
23
00:02:52,068 --> 00:02:54,579
can get
24
00:03:04,870 --> 00:03:14,140
I built my home here there ranch horse
25
00:03:11,500 --> 00:03:18,689
I'm prejudiced but I think it's just
26
00:03:14,139 --> 00:03:18,689
about the prettiest place I've ever seen
27
00:03:19,979 --> 00:03:27,939
then there's me she's a rare woman she's
28
00:03:25,810 --> 00:03:30,250
the only woman I know who'd put up with
29
00:03:27,939 --> 00:03:33,789
the animals I used to bring home like
30
00:03:30,250 --> 00:03:37,019
those coyote pumps and raised them just
31
00:03:33,789 --> 00:03:37,019
like they were her own

vanishing breed
38
00:04:09,689 --> 00:04:20,719
I know tracks like the FBI in those
39
00:04:14,489 --> 00:04:23,668
fingerprints I specialized in renegades
40
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,360
killers of livestock and sometimes
41
00:04:23,668 --> 00:04:29,549
people
42
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:31,710
I didn't kill for sport I went after the
43
00:04:29,550 --> 00:04:32,610
right animal so innocent ones might be
44
00:04:31,709 --> 00:04:40,709
spared
45
00:04:32,610 --> 00:04:54,419
I learned trapping but my dad shoulders
46
00:04:40,709 --> 00:04:58,799
back in Illinois at that time I worked
47
00:04:54,418 --> 00:05:01,709
with a gun territory tariffs or federal
48
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:13,410

52
00:05:19,228 --> 00:05:24,629
the bear had been killing the cattle now
53
00:05:21,538 --> 00:05:26,848
I know there and the Kodiak happens to
54
00:05:24,629 --> 00:05:28,469
be one of the most beautiful on God's

00:05:28,470 --> 00:05:36,360
takes a lot of grub to feed him 9 feet
57
00:05:32,310 --> 00:05:39,300
tall up to a ton and weight no need for
58
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:42,580
him to be killing cattle though he's as
59
00:05:39,300 --> 00:05:53,290
fine a fisherman as you'll ever see

61
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:11,139
the ranchers were getting $5,000
62
00:06:06,589 --> 00:06:14,339
bounties on these so-called cow killers
63
00:06:11,139 --> 00:06:21,269
so I moved in to set things straight

[Music]
65
00:06:21,269 --> 00:06:32,250
I met a rancher who said it ain't Kodiak
66
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:39,918
killing my cattle I finally found
67
00:06:32,250 --> 00:06:41,939
someone I could talk to he said Bigfoot
68
00:06:39,918 --> 00:06:45,829
straight-faced as could be
69
00:06:41,939 --> 00:06:51,478
he said Bigfoot's been killing my cattle
70
00:06:45,829 --> 00:06:55,079
Bigfoot I checked a carcass and saw the
71
00:06:51,478 --> 00:06:58,978
cow it died natural the Bears just fed
72
00:06:55,079 --> 00:07:02,519

00:06:58,978 --> 00:07:11,120
was waterlogged none of protein cattle

00:07:02,519 --> 00:07:13,529
died of malnutrition Kodiak Bigfoot

people always want their questions
76
00:07:13,529 --> 00:07:19,559
answered in such neatly wrapped little
77
00:07:16,439 --> 00:07:22,379
packages well I'd heard about Bigfoot
78
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,538
some abominable snowman who'd wandered
79
00:07:22,379 --> 00:07:29,310
across the Bering Strait before the Ice
80
00:07:24,538 --> 00:07:33,478
Age I couldn't believe a grown man would
81
00:07:29,310 --> 00:07:36,379
tell me a Bigfoot was killing what a
82
00:07:33,478 --> 00:07:36,379
bunch of hogwash

00:07:42,430 --> 00:07:53,889

00:07:50,889 --> 00:07:56,500
between me and those crazies in Alaska
86
00:07:53,889 --> 00:08:01,120
and felt good to be with some sensible
87
00:07:56,500 --> 00:08:03,310
folks like Peggy's brother an Arizona
88
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:06,670
University wanted us to track down a
89
00:08:03,310 --> 00:08:09,240
javelina hog for research a small

92
00:08:24,779 --> 00:08:32,769
well I told my brother-in-law about the

wilds Bigfoot story Cody heck but ya
94
00:08:32,769 --> 00:08:44,519
didn't respond as I'd expected he said
95
00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:52,149
don't be so quick to make judgments
96
00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:54,460
there's something I want you to see he
97
00:08:52,149 --> 00:09:00,340
took me to what Indians called the land
98
00:08:54,460 --> 00:09:03,070
of petrified wood they're carved in a
99
00:09:00,340 --> 00:09:07,660
rock were drawings of a creature with
100
00:09:03,070 --> 00:09:11,290
big hands and big feet exactly as I had
101
00:09:07,659 --> 00:09:16,360
heard Bigfoot described the drawings
102
00:09:11,289 --> 00:09:18,490
were 700 years old they told how
103
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:21,430
creatures the Indians called stick man
104
00:09:18,490 --> 00:09:26,409
had come in the night and stolen the
105
00:09:21,429 --> 00:09:30,389
Indian children the Indians abandoned
106
00:09:26,409 --> 00:09:30,389
the village in fear

00:09:30,809 --> 00:09:38,719
[Music]
108
00:09:39,610 --> 00:09:51,320
first the ranchers now my brother-in-law
109
00:09:42,879 --> 00:09:54,799
my head was reeling was Bigfoot and that
110
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:57,020
stories are just so many words so I soon
111
00:09:54,799 --> 00:10:01,089
forgot about him till I was up tracking
112
00:09:57,019 --> 00:10:04,699
a mountain lion and I found these tracks
113
00:10:01,090 --> 00:10:08,330
they look much like human footprints but
114
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:10,820
they were 18 inches long six and a half
115
00:10:08,330 --> 00:10:12,550
across the ball of the foot five and a
116
00:10:10,820 --> 00:10:16,450
half at the heel
117
00:10:12,549 --> 00:10:19,549
they were the hugest I'd ever seen
118
00:10:16,450 --> 00:10:26,360
tracks were so deep they had have been
119
00:10:19,549 --> 00:10:30,979
made by at least a 500 pound animal the
120
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:33,710
hair I couldn't identify it
121
00:10:30,980 --> 00:10:35,690
the toe prints were spread around small
122
00:10:33,710 --> 00:10:37,820
rocks and dug into the earth
123
00:10:35,690 --> 00:10:41,420
showing whatever made them could cover
124
00:10:37,820 --> 00:10:46,460
pretty rugged country and the stride was
125
00:10:41,419 --> 00:10:48,919
enormous 52 inches in length man's only
126
00:10:46,460 --> 00:10:50,720
30 they were fakes
127
00:10:48,919 --> 00:10:53,599
somebody would have had to drag a pretty
128
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:55,460
big machine over pretty rough country to
129
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,779
make him and they would have left their
130
00:10:55,460 --> 00:11:00,820
own tracks
131
00:10:56,779 --> 00:11:05,779
I saw where a creature had stumbled
132
00:11:00,820 --> 00:11:12,890
there was a handprint but no sign of
133
00:11:05,779 --> 00:11:16,279
claws there was oh man like I was
134
00:11:12,889 --> 00:11:17,720
mystified so I made plaster cast and
135
00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:24,740
sent them with the hair to a lab for
136
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:29,360
analysis well I tell you I was glad to
137
00:11:24,740 --> 00:11:31,039
get home her pups were growing and they
138
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,759
didn't give us much time to think about
139
00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:40,319
everything that had happened
140
00:11:32,759 --> 00:11:40,319
[Music]
141
00:11:51,458 --> 00:12:00,319
you
142
00:11:53,389 --> 00:12:03,139
I was called to chase a renegade bear up
143
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:06,260
north this time I wasn't so eager to
144
00:12:03,139 --> 00:12:08,720
return to the mountains Tess had shown
145
00:12:06,259 --> 00:12:13,750
the hair samples and tracks couldn't be
146
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:19,700
matched with any known animal I was
147
00:12:13,750 --> 00:12:30,309
uncomfortable the animals were even
148
00:12:19,700 --> 00:12:30,310
acting strange I soon found out why I
149
00:12:32,230 --> 00:12:42,590
found the bear I was looking for but not
150
00:12:36,470 --> 00:12:47,620
in the condition I expected another
151
00:12:42,590 --> 00:12:47,620
track just as I had seen on the mountain
152
00:12:50,259 --> 00:13:03,470
there between its teeth the hare stamped
153
00:12:59,750 --> 00:13:08,889
a 600 pound bear that it stood eight
154
00:13:03,470 --> 00:13:12,850
feet tall lying by the side of the crate
155
00:13:08,889 --> 00:13:12,850
its neck broken

[Music]
157
00:13:20,919 --> 00:13:27,649
now I wanted to find out everything I
158
00:13:24,198 --> 00:13:31,609
could about Bigfoot I advertised for any
159
00:13:27,649 --> 00:13:34,328
information or leads you can't believe
160
00:13:31,610 --> 00:13:38,209
the number of stories people had to tell
161
00:13:34,328 --> 00:13:42,109
my friends laughed at him all okay I'd
162
00:13:38,208 --> 00:13:45,588
laugh too but things were different now
163
00:13:42,110 --> 00:13:50,298
I had to figure out what was fact and
164
00:13:45,589 --> 00:13:52,429
what was fiction there are reports of
165
00:13:50,298 --> 00:13:55,568
creatures twelve feet tall
166
00:13:52,428 --> 00:13:58,458
800 pounds that prowled on two feet
167
00:13:55,568 --> 00:13:59,360
now that's absurd scientifically
168
00:13:58,458 --> 00:14:01,969
impossible
169
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:07,548
no creature that size or weight could
170
00:14:01,970 --> 00:14:09,980
even stand upright and as for tracks you
171
00:14:07,548 --> 00:14:12,110
can't imagine the number of kids I found
172
00:14:09,980 --> 00:14:15,379
running around the woods making plywood
173
00:14:12,110 --> 00:14:16,039

again
177
00:14:19,639 --> 00:14:30,679
but four features all the reports shared
178
00:14:24,610 --> 00:14:35,930
were the dark hair the domed head the
179
00:14:30,679 --> 00:14:38,500
large footprints and the glowing red
180
00:14:35,929 --> 00:14:38,500

link be wandering around up here without

the mountains is it a couple of my pets
186
00:15:03,919 --> 00:15:13,309
I tried not to think about Bigfoot but
187

somehow kept Bigfoot goat throughout all

new clothes it's too late in the season
387
00:34:08,668 --> 00:34:17,369
to find the creature here now but I'd
388
00:34:13,079 --> 00:34:19,398
soon catch up with him above the Arctic

search seriously like the Lumberjacks to

00:35:25,949 --> 00:35:34,230
into the midst of the wilderness which
396
00:35:28,380 --> 00:35:36,690
meant first with stories of Bigfoot most
397
00:35:34,230 --> 00:35:40,590
of their sightings came at the time of
398
00:35:36,690 --> 00:35:43,889
year I'd anticipated they were sure when
399
00:35:40,590 --> 00:35:49,890
Bigfoot past because strange happened
400
00:35:43,889 --> 00:35:56,029
was followed in a nearby valley herds of
401
00:35:49,889 --> 00:35:59,759
goats come and perform a ritual suicide
402
00:35:56,030 --> 00:36:02,550
sure enough the goats were there looking
403
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:07,470
as if they were grazing normally but
404
00:36:02,550 --> 00:36:11,400
actually eating pounds of dirt was one
405
00:36:07,469 --> 00:36:16,169
gulp of water the earth turns to cement
406
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:21,930

411
00:36:30,039 --> 00:36:33,910
passed through went against all the
412
00:36:32,018 --> 00:36:38,618
natural laws of survival
413
00:36:33,909 --> 00:36:43,139

414
00:36:38,619 --> 00:36:49,048
shaped by man presented another totally

00:36:50,630 --> 00:36:56,910
to those who cried for Bigfoot to exist
417
00:36:54,539 --> 00:37:00,930
goes against every bit of scientific
418
00:36:56,909 --> 00:37:08,730
data known to man I could now say how
419
00:37:00,929 --> 00:37:11,129
much more there is to know either close
420
00:37:08,730 --> 00:37:13,230

calling cards at Watson Lake as they
422
00:37:13,230 --> 00:37:18,358

426
00:37:22,980 --> 00:37:30,179

429
00:37:32,818 --> 00:37:38,750

need a frontier to explore don't

00:38:01,778 --> 00:38:07,329
necessarily have to go off into it just

keep clear of man its seclusion didn't

last for long such a rich source of

glaciers up there were the burial
448
00:38:46,079 --> 00:38:53,068
grounds of the Bigfoot that would
449
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:55,048
explain why there were no remains the
450
00:38:53,068 --> 00:38:58,170
creatures carried their dead over

00:38:55,048 --> 00:39:00,750

I did find tracks so I had to be close
457
00:39:24,409 --> 00:39:35,929
I found bones had told many different
458
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:38,539
stories but none of Big Foot the
459
00:39:35,929 --> 00:39:41,179
constant movement of the glaciers could
460
00:39:38,539 --> 00:39:43,630
either question danger washed them to

00:39:41,179 --> 00:39:43,629
the sea
462
00:39:54,849 --> 00:40:02,030
burial grounds of the Bigfoot I thought
463
00:39:59,780 --> 00:40:05,390
of the people who were the source of
464
00:40:02,030 --> 00:40:06,170
these stories their friends called him
465
00:40:05,389 --> 00:40:09,618
crazy
466
00:40:06,170 --> 00:40:12,289
and some of them might have been but you
467
00:40:09,619 --> 00:40:17,510
wouldn't believe the extremes they went
468
00:40:12,289 --> 00:40:38,630
to for their fortunes roaming in the
469
00:40:17,510 --> 00:40:40,670
unexplored I guess it wasn't so tough to
470
00:40:38,630 --> 00:40:44,470
believe Bigfoot could have gone to
471
00:40:40,670 --> 00:40:49,970
similar extremes for a far more
472
00:40:44,469 --> 00:41:05,808
instinctive basic drive as burying is
473
00:40:49,969 --> 00:41:08,538
dead so many questions well I sure
474
00:41:05,809 --> 00:41:11,089
understood what drove those miners as
475
00:41:08,539 --> 00:41:15,260
they sailed up the river and pursuit of
476
00:41:11,088 --> 00:41:22,849
gold for I'd soon ride the same river in
477
00:41:15,260 --> 00:41:26,750
pursuit of Bigfoot the miners were gone
478
00:41:22,849 --> 00:41:30,470
now but I knew Bigfoot had to still be
479
00:41:26,750 --> 00:41:34,369
around the frequency of current
480
00:41:30,469 --> 00:41:37,548
sightings meant he'd somehow survived
481
00:41:34,369 --> 00:41:43,390

out from the boomtowns
488
00:42:12,340 --> 00:42:21,050
now I understood why Bigfoot steered
489
00:42:16,099 --> 00:42:23,710
clear of man he had to in order to
490
00:42:21,050 --> 00:42:23,710
survive

00:42:26,260 --> 00:42:32,810
however vicious the creature might be I
492
00:42:29,829 --> 00:42:37,849
gained a lot of respect for the elusive
493
00:42:32,809 --> 00:42:40,610
Bigfoot and its ability to endure but if
494
00:42:37,849 --> 00:42:44,139
we were to find we'd have to get to the

were now pouring back up to the new gold

rush for the black gold oil how much
502
00:43:07,159 --> 00:43:13,929
longer could Bigfoot avoid all these
503
00:43:09,619 --> 00:43:16,739

504
00:43:13,929 --> 00:43:26,838

treated ourselves to the fanciest hotel

00:44:10,250 --> 00:44:16,579
them resembling the very creature I saw

myself they were too similar over to
520
00:44:16,579 --> 00:44:22,700
vast an area to be coincidental but
521
00:44:20,358 --> 00:44:26,210
these images weren't good enough for the

00:44:22,699 --> 00:44:30,139
experts below I still had a lot of
523
00:44:26,210 --> 00:44:33,949
questions to answer there were no
524
00:44:30,139 --> 00:44:37,118
grocery stores up here so we ate off the
525
00:44:33,949 --> 00:44:39,889

526
00:44:37,119 --> 00:44:43,760
knew I could get my answers from these
527
00:44:39,889 --> 00:44:49,940

528
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:53,510

the spirit of his mother who was

they must abandon their homes which they
539
00:45:20,730 --> 00:45:29,429

killed a creature in the early 40s

00:46:50,659 --> 00:46:55,269
in the sky they were bright travelling
561
00:46:54,320 --> 00:47:02,660
was good
562
00:46:55,269 --> 00:47:06,650
then the snow turned red at the north
563
00:47:02,659 --> 00:47:09,469
south east and west rivers of blood
564
00:47:06,650 --> 00:47:13,220
flowed across the sky and down into the
565
00:47:09,469 --> 00:47:17,838
snows it seemed to be the last day of
566
00:47:13,219 --> 00:47:19,179
the world Bigfoot was punishing us for
567
00:47:17,838 --> 00:47:22,210
bringing its sorrow
568
00:47:19,179 --> 00:47:26,750
[Music]
569
00:47:22,210 --> 00:47:29,900
back then the good white light rose from
570
00:47:26,750 --> 00:47:36,050
the north what followed was a battle of
571
00:47:29,900 --> 00:47:39,260
a thousand wires white light was the
572
00:47:36,050 --> 00:47:43,820
spirit of Bigfoot left to die by the
573
00:47:39,260 --> 00:47:47,060
trapper had returned in the formal white
574
00:47:43,820 --> 00:47:50,750
Raven to protect us from the red wrath
575
00:47:47,059 --> 00:47:54,289
of its breathing brothers if you travel
576
00:47:50,750 --> 00:47:58,179
the river you may see him and if you do
577
00:47:54,289 --> 00:47:58,179
he will bring you luck
578
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:29,940
[Music]
579
00:48:26,329 --> 00:48:33,269
then the native gasped pointing to a
580
00:48:29,940 --> 00:48:37,289
bird soaring above us the legendary
581
00:48:33,269 --> 00:48:41,099
white Raven the fisherman said Bigfoot
582
00:48:37,289 --> 00:48:44,840
smiles upon you you will bring word of
583
00:48:41,099 --> 00:48:44,839
him to the people below
584
00:48:57,358 --> 00:49:08,980
mine was really at the next village the
585
00:49:05,108 --> 00:49:11,739
natives were waiting for us he had heard
586
00:49:08,980 --> 00:49:16,059
about the white Raven and wanted to show
587
00:49:11,739 --> 00:49:21,728
us their secret sacred figure
588
00:49:16,059 --> 00:49:25,390
here it was again he told us how Bigfoot
589
00:49:21,728 --> 00:49:27,728
was their friend their friend how do
590
00:49:25,389 --> 00:49:32,650
they think such a violent creature could
591
00:49:27,728 --> 00:49:35,708
be their friend they told how Bigfoot
592
00:49:32,650 --> 00:49:39,099
always carried the bodies of men killed
593
00:49:35,708 --> 00:49:42,068
loss in the Arctic winter to the edge of
594
00:49:39,099 --> 00:49:45,640
the nearest village to be buried by
595
00:49:42,068 --> 00:49:47,829
their own kind when I asked where I
596
00:49:45,639 --> 00:49:52,528
could make contact with their friend
597
00:49:47,829 --> 00:49:56,709
they said in the land of shining eyes
598
00:49:52,528 --> 00:50:02,409
they warned me not to violate Bigfoot's
599
00:49:56,708 --> 00:50:05,288
domain I reminded of the white rape so
600
00:50:02,409 --> 00:50:08,409
they taught me a chant on the night of
601
00:50:05,289 --> 00:50:12,700
the full moon and promised I would see
602
00:50:08,409 --> 00:50:18,208
the glowing eyes Bigfoot
603
00:50:12,699 --> 00:50:18,208
[Music]
604
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:39,220
well I wasn't going to have a thing to
605
00:50:35,329 --> 00:50:42,140
do with any chanting so I set up
606
00:50:39,219 --> 00:50:44,298
walkie-talkies 300 yards from the tent
607
00:50:42,139 --> 00:50:47,358
monitor any movements on the tundra
608
00:50:44,298 --> 00:50:50,619
during the night at the first sound I'd
609
00:50:47,358 --> 00:50:50,619
have a jump on the creature
610
00:50:54,518 --> 00:51:06,818
then the wait the land was lush with
611
00:51:01,849 --> 00:51:11,329
vegetation a perfect feeding ground
612
00:51:06,818 --> 00:51:17,949
berries lichen gnats bugs millions of
613
00:51:11,329 --> 00:51:21,079
fish not just a land of ice and snow I
614
00:51:17,949 --> 00:51:23,558
understood why Bigfoot and so many
615
00:51:21,079 --> 00:51:32,180
animals flocked to the Arctic to breed
616
00:51:23,559 --> 00:51:40,359
raise their young but this land was
617
00:51:32,179 --> 00:51:40,358
strangely silent where were the animals
618
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:07,460
my transmitter had been thrown 15 feet
619
00:51:59,389 --> 00:52:11,629
and the tundra held no tracks days
620
00:52:07,460 --> 00:52:15,909
passed I felt like a fool but now I'd go
621
00:52:11,630 --> 00:52:15,910
to any ends to conjure up the creature
622
00:52:27,369 --> 00:52:34,630
soon peg saw what she thought were two
623
00:52:30,710 --> 00:52:34,630
car lights approaching
624
00:52:39,539 --> 00:52:47,670
I was caught in the darkness but pay
625
00:52:44,070 --> 00:52:56,220
guided me toward the lights I had to
626
00:52:47,670 --> 00:53:04,079
find out what it was and we realized our
627
00:52:56,219 --> 00:53:07,539
the shining eyes this time I couldn't
628
00:53:04,079 --> 00:53:37,828
let Bigfoot escape
629
00:53:07,539 --> 00:53:37,829
[Music]
630
00:53:41,769 --> 00:53:47,509
but dawn broke and it disappeared behind
631
00:53:46,210 --> 00:53:57,980
a rainbow
632
00:53:47,510 --> 00:53:57,980
[Music]
633
00:54:01,300 --> 00:54:08,580
this was too much
634
00:54:05,219 --> 00:54:09,289
I melt like I was coming apart of the
635
00:54:08,579 --> 00:54:12,159
seams
636
00:54:09,289 --> 00:54:15,670
[Music]
637
00:54:12,159 --> 00:54:19,000
here I was an experienced mountain and
638
00:54:15,670 --> 00:54:22,440
all my life acting like a spook tender
639
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:30,068
what I still had a thousand questions
640
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:33,970
and so few answers I couldn't
641
00:54:30,068 --> 00:54:38,259
concentrate my head was spinning with
642
00:54:33,969 --> 00:54:42,459
tall tales folklore I no longer knew
643
00:54:38,260 --> 00:54:47,220
what to believe I had to get away from
644
00:54:42,460 --> 00:54:47,220
the others and be by myself
645
00:55:03,119 --> 00:55:10,869
there were the salmon back after ten
646
00:55:06,639 --> 00:55:14,650
years of living in the sea to spawn and
647
00:55:10,869 --> 00:55:19,210
the exact place of their birth and then
648
00:55:14,650 --> 00:55:20,530
to die they reminded me of those had
649
00:55:19,210 --> 00:55:23,579
seen it Kodiak
650
00:55:20,530 --> 00:55:27,460
in the days when I was a pure tracker
651
00:55:23,579 --> 00:55:32,429
stuck to nature signs wasn't so confused
652
00:55:27,460 --> 00:55:32,429
with all the legends and stories of man
653
00:55:38,489 --> 00:55:54,939
there were geese my first clue a Bigfoot
654
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:59,799
migratory pattern I began to feel close
655
00:55:54,940 --> 00:56:05,230
to nature again and I knew that's where
656
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:08,170
I'd find the answers to my questions and
657
00:56:05,230 --> 00:56:09,880
the caribou king velvet off their
658
00:56:08,170 --> 00:56:13,289
antlers released swamp gas from the
659
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:13,289
tundra to glow in the night
660
00:56:17,869 --> 00:56:27,589
then I saw what must have been the
661
00:56:21,230 --> 00:56:29,630
monarch of the north I was terrified it
662
00:56:27,590 --> 00:56:33,140
could crush the likes of me with one
663
00:56:29,630 --> 00:56:40,700
swoop but it was the most magnificent
664
00:56:33,139 --> 00:56:44,829
animal I think I've ever seen he didn't
665
00:56:40,699 --> 00:56:44,829
seem to notice me as he made a clearing
666
00:56:45,309 --> 00:56:51,019
he sharpened his horns as if to prepare
667
00:56:48,500 --> 00:56:52,150
for combat I thought he'd come for me
668
00:56:51,019 --> 00:56:57,949
now
669
00:56:52,150 --> 00:57:08,000
instead he dug a pit marked it with his
670
00:56:57,949 --> 00:57:11,119
scent this attracted cows from all over
671
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:19,760
the area and seemed to warn other Bulls
672
00:57:11,119 --> 00:57:23,000
to keep away the cows declared
673
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:28,490
themselves his by covering themselves
674
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:31,789
with his scent I'd made it the mating
675
00:57:28,489 --> 00:57:35,389
grounds of the Alaskan moose when no man
676
00:57:31,789 --> 00:57:41,900
had ever been before and possibly the
677
00:57:35,389 --> 00:57:44,420
breeding grounds of Bigfoot some young
678
00:57:41,900 --> 00:57:47,329
woman seemed a little overeager and
679
00:57:44,420 --> 00:57:50,590
found a monarch defending his territory
680
00:57:47,329 --> 00:57:54,250
against all intruders
681
00:57:50,590 --> 00:57:57,880
while others waited for the right moment
682
00:57:54,250 --> 00:57:57,880
to move in
683
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:09,079
then he saw me and luckily a match for
684
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:11,849
the monarch challenged him for his
685
00:58:09,079 --> 00:58:33,159
powers and territory
686
00:58:11,849 --> 00:58:41,328

687
00:58:33,159 --> 00:58:45,469
those who'd waited now moved in while
688
00:58:41,329 --> 00:58:48,170
the Bulls were fighting nature made sure
689
00:58:45,469 --> 00:58:48,889
there'd be a good crop of calves come
690
00:58:48,170 --> 00:58:57,630
spring
691
00:58:48,889 --> 00:59:01,558

finally the monarch triumphs

00:59:01,559 --> 00:59:12,400
now too preoccupied to give any notice
694
00:59:04,838 --> 00:59:14,159
to me he gathered his cows and according
695
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:20,979
to the law of nature
696
00:59:14,159 --> 00:59:23,739
the strongest began to breed I was
697
00:59:20,978 --> 00:59:28,808
deeply moved by what I had seen but
698
00:59:23,739 --> 00:59:31,809
still no sign of Bigfoot the salmon lay
699
00:59:28,809 --> 00:59:35,589
dying in the streams signaling the end
700
00:59:31,809 --> 00:59:38,150
of the breeding season time was running
701
00:59:35,588 --> 00:59:43,670
out so we took to the air

00:59:38,150 --> 00:59:46,039
[Music]
703
00:59:43,670 --> 00:59:50,680
the Arctic winter could close us in at
704
00:59:46,039 --> 00:59:50,679
any moment so we had to move fast
705
00:59:51,820 --> 01:00:01,220
why couldn't I find this creature was my
706
00:59:56,329 --> 01:00:02,539
theory wrong when I saw the expanse of
707
01:00:01,219 --> 01:00:05,889
space below
708
01:00:02,539 --> 01:00:08,599
I laughed anything could be out there
709
01:00:05,889 --> 01:00:10,730
they'd found Stone Age men in New
710
01:00:08,599 --> 01:00:13,460
Zealand through a prehistoric fish being
711
01:00:10,730 --> 01:00:15,650
pulled out of the Persian see my god a
712
01:00:13,460 --> 01:00:17,570
primitive man walked out of the mountain
713
01:00:15,650 --> 01:00:22,160
the 70 miles from the capital of
714
01:00:17,570 --> 01:00:24,280
California there's so much territory yet
715
01:00:22,159 --> 01:00:27,829
to be explored
716
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:29,690
we found undiscovered wrecks of men
717
01:00:27,829 --> 01:00:32,480
who've tried to break into this
718
01:00:29,690 --> 01:00:38,389
wilderness and were never heard of again
719
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:42,579
I couldn't think of the risks everything
720
01:00:38,389 --> 01:00:42,579
I believed in was on the line
721
01:00:45,809 --> 01:00:50,298
suddenly the pilot went around
722
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:58,700
Harry was a young Bigfoot frozen like a
723
01:00:56,190 --> 01:00:58,700
tree
724
01:01:04,300 --> 01:01:11,710
we raced back to the river but he
725
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:15,010
slipped away seeing the young Bigfoot
726
01:01:11,710 --> 01:01:20,619
confirmed my theory I could now roughly
727
01:01:15,010 --> 01:01:23,590
predict the creatures movements the crew
728
01:01:20,619 --> 01:01:26,289
celebrated the sighting but it wasn't
729
01:01:23,590 --> 01:01:33,070
enough for me I knew I needed to
730
01:01:26,289 --> 01:01:36,099
document Bigfoot's habits the young
731
01:01:33,070 --> 01:01:40,720
Bigfoot's tracks led me from the rift to
732
01:01:36,099 --> 01:01:42,610
a lush meadow he passed through a herd
733
01:01:40,719 --> 01:01:47,589
of grazing musk ox
734
01:01:42,610 --> 01:01:52,210
I wondered what Bigfoot fed on maybe he
735
01:01:47,590 --> 01:01:54,700
ate vegetation to what finish I'd seen
736
01:01:52,210 --> 01:01:57,780
him by a river of course he could have
737
01:01:54,699 --> 01:02:01,329
been cleaning himself or drinking
738
01:01:57,780 --> 01:02:04,620
because he could be a predator one of
739
01:02:01,329 --> 01:02:07,659
these oxen had last him half the winter
740
01:02:04,619 --> 01:02:11,739
Bigfoots behavior still held many
741
01:02:07,659 --> 01:02:15,960
mysteries but now it was just a matter
742
01:02:11,739 --> 01:02:15,959
of time before I solved them
743
01:02:23,079 --> 01:02:30,980
winter now closed down on us in earnest
744
01:02:27,670 --> 01:02:33,579
we were forced to move south just like
745
01:02:30,980 --> 01:02:33,579
the animals
746
01:02:36,980 --> 01:02:41,769
the Carib gathered for their migration
747
01:02:49,389 --> 01:02:57,129
maybe the source of food for all the
748
01:02:53,088 --> 01:02:57,130
meat-eating animals that followed
749
01:03:00,039 --> 01:03:07,460
if Bigfoot were a mediator he'd feed
750
01:03:03,409 --> 01:03:10,759
uncharitable too if I could prove that
751
01:03:07,460 --> 01:03:14,690
he did I'd have a clue to the place he
752
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:17,420
held in nature if I could film it I'd
753
01:03:14,690 --> 01:03:21,710
have the kind of documentation the
754
01:03:17,420 --> 01:03:27,070
experts demanded whatever his happens I
755
01:03:21,710 --> 01:03:27,070
knew the road would be paved with danger
756
01:03:30,860 --> 01:03:50,960

757
01:04:01,309 --> 01:05:12,500
[Music]
758
01:05:09,340 --> 01:05:16,190
there was devastated by the slaughter of
759
01:05:12,500 --> 01:05:17,510
the caribou I kept thinking of Bigfoot
760
01:05:16,190 --> 01:05:20,720
in its migration
761
01:05:17,510 --> 01:05:24,970
it had to be protect it could be wiped
762
01:05:20,719 --> 01:05:24,969
out before I had a chance to study it
763
01:05:27,219 --> 01:05:33,279
how could I get protection for something
764
01:05:30,309 --> 01:05:37,239
so few believed existed
765
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:42,730
I needed that unchallengeable proof I'd
766
01:05:37,239 --> 01:05:47,588
first set out for was no sign of Bigfoot
767
01:05:42,730 --> 01:05:52,750
with the Carroll it must eat vegetation
768
01:05:47,588 --> 01:05:57,000
or fish the perfect place
769
01:05:52,750 --> 01:06:05,309
beavers swamp in the spring
770
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:09,599
I got there early and planned to stay as
771
01:06:05,309 --> 01:06:12,230
long as I could I used every trick I
772
01:06:09,599 --> 01:06:17,029
learned over my years as a trapper and
773
01:06:12,230 --> 01:06:17,030
carefully covered my scent with ammonia
774
01:06:19,190 --> 01:06:30,380
Beaver swamp the geese if my theory was
775
01:06:25,530 --> 01:06:33,210
right Bigfoot would follow shortly I
776
01:06:30,380 --> 01:06:41,750
searched for the perfect place to set up
777
01:06:33,210 --> 01:06:48,420
a blind when I found it I moved in and
778
01:06:41,750 --> 01:06:51,690
set up my cameras day after day I waited
779
01:06:48,420 --> 01:06:55,889
and soon grew jealous of the other
780
01:06:51,690 --> 01:06:58,980
animals freedom I was stiff chilled to
781
01:06:55,889 --> 01:07:02,279
the bone but I was determined not to
782
01:06:58,980 --> 01:07:05,119
make a move that might warn Bigfoot of
783
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:05,120
my presence
784
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:13,960
what if he didn't come
785
01:07:20,159 --> 01:07:27,159
damn have more land in the woods
786
01:07:23,489 --> 01:07:29,389
the Sun hadn't come up yet it was hard
787
01:07:27,159 --> 01:07:46,629
to make out what I'd seen at first
788
01:07:29,389 --> 01:07:46,629
[Music]
789
01:07:46,739 --> 01:07:54,699
Bigfoot standing no more than a hundred
790
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:57,519
yards from my blind I began to shake all
791
01:07:54,699 --> 01:08:13,919
over I could barely keep hold of my
792
01:07:57,519 --> 01:08:19,630
camera he was awesome then behind me
793
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:23,920
another schwarber possibly younger how
794
01:08:19,630 --> 01:08:27,088
many of them were there was i surrounded
795
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:29,569
[Music]
796
01:08:27,088 --> 01:08:34,048
they were the most extraordinary
797
01:08:29,569 --> 01:08:37,469
creatures I'd ever seen I now knew why
798
01:08:34,048 --> 01:08:41,759
the Eskimos called Bigfoot the king of
799
01:08:37,469 --> 01:08:46,770
the animals the older large one was
800
01:08:41,759 --> 01:08:50,579
seven feet tall 450 to 500 pounds his
801
01:08:46,770 --> 01:08:53,790
domed head and long dark hair just like
802
01:08:50,579 --> 01:08:57,420
the other creatures I'd seen his older
803
01:08:53,789 --> 01:09:00,509
was overwhelming the same thick musky
804
01:08:57,420 --> 01:09:05,548
scent that first led me to Bigfoot so
805
01:09:00,509 --> 01:09:10,229
long ago the young one was no more than
806
01:09:05,548 --> 01:09:13,500
five and a half feet tall 250 pounds if
807
01:09:10,229 --> 01:09:15,388
my guess was right probably on its first
808
01:09:13,500 --> 01:09:18,719
trip away from its northern breeding
809
01:09:15,389 --> 01:09:22,770
grounds he'd probably never seen a man
810
01:09:18,719 --> 01:09:29,279
before if he saw me he could panic and
811
01:09:22,770 --> 01:09:31,679
attack then I looked around and realized
812
01:09:29,279 --> 01:09:37,139
the other animals were carrying on
813
01:09:31,679 --> 01:09:37,649
normally if danger was around they would
814
01:09:37,139 --> 01:09:41,788
have fled
815
01:09:37,649 --> 01:09:41,789
[Music]
816
01:09:43,140 --> 01:09:52,140
just as the Eskimos had said Bigfoot is
817
01:09:48,550 --> 01:09:52,140
a benevolent creature
818
01:09:53,208 --> 01:10:01,550
it doesn't even attack feed on other
819
01:09:56,719 --> 01:10:06,439
atoms it seems to only vegetation
820
01:10:01,550 --> 01:10:09,498
sometimes fish here it was before me
821
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:15,559
pulling up the tender swamp grass with
822
01:10:09,498 --> 01:10:18,559
its hands remarkable huge hands that
823
01:10:15,559 --> 01:10:21,979
seemed capable of grasping scooping up
824
01:10:18,559 --> 01:10:30,739
drinking water splashing to rid itself
825
01:10:21,979 --> 01:10:35,090
of parasites I done it here I was again
826
01:10:30,738 --> 01:10:38,718
with Bigfoot unchallengeable proof my
827
01:10:35,090 --> 01:10:42,679
theory had worked it is a migratory
828
01:10:38,719 --> 01:10:46,180
animal and I now have the documentation
829
01:10:42,679 --> 01:10:49,960
of its habits I needed
830
01:10:46,180 --> 01:10:53,300
now we can begin to understand the place
831
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:58,760
this creature holds in nature
832
01:10:53,300 --> 01:10:58,760

833
01:11:05,279 --> 01:11:17,969
a raccoon came out to start his days
834
01:11:14,189 --> 01:11:20,669
hunting I knew the nocturnal Bigfoot
835
01:11:17,969 --> 01:11:23,118
would soon return to the cover of the
836
01:11:20,670 --> 01:11:23,118
forest

841
01:12:33,199 --> 01:12:42,099
I once again said goodbye to this
842
01:12:38,779 --> 01:12:47,659
mysterious creature that has somehow
843
01:12:42,100 --> 01:12:52,340
outlived its natural role endured the
844
01:12:47,659 --> 01:12:54,010
tests of time now left to wander the
845
01:12:52,340 --> 01:12:58,340
land elusively
846
01:12:54,010 --> 01:13:03,020
with a strange will to survive

848
01:13:03,958 --> 01:13:13,260
oh I still have plenty of questions and
849
01:13:10,979 --> 01:13:17,939
I'll continue my search for the answers
850
01:13:13,260 --> 01:13:21,260
now I assure I'll no longer get so
851
01:13:17,939 --> 01:13:24,959
caught up in the problems of my research
852
01:13:21,260 --> 01:13:27,060
but I'll lose touch with the wonders it
853
01:13:24,958 --> 01:13:31,338
reveals
