One witness described seeing a baby Bigfoot up in a tree, which made him realize that the mother must be nearby. Another witness had an encounter with a large creature that touched his tent from above, revealing that Bigfoot can move through trees with ease. These encounters emphasize the importance of looking up in the trees when searching for Bigfoot, as they may be overlooked if people focus solely on the ground for tracks or other signs.
An unexpected encounter with a Bigfoot during a camping trip: A camper's belief that a Bigfoot acted as a protective guardian after a large fire, based on native American beliefs and the creature's intelligence to remain hidden.
During a camping trip in 2014, the speaker had an encounter with a large, gray Bigfoot. This encounter happened shortly after a large fire in the area, which prevented the speaker and her husband from visiting the property earlier. The speaker believes that the Bigfoot may have been acting as a night watchman, ensuring that no one disturbed the area. This theory is based on native American beliefs and the general feeling of being constantly watched during their stay. The encounter left a lasting impression on the speaker, as the Bigfoot was much larger than any human and had the intelligence to avoid detection until the speaker was up and about. The speaker's husband, who was also present, was significantly smaller in comparison. The lack of concrete evidence for this theory adds to the intrigue and mystery of the encounter.
Speaker's belief of Bigfoot's intelligent behavior: Speaker's observation of Bigfoot's protective instincts and primate-like behavior hints towards their potential intelligence.
During the speaker's experiences with Bigfoot encounters, they believed they were being constantly watched and warned off from certain areas. This behavior, according to the speaker, could only happen if the creatures were intelligent enough to understand human presence and intentions. The speaker also drew parallels to primate behavior, suggesting that this protective instinct could be a natural primate response to ensure group safety. The coolest archaeological find the speaker encountered was a tiny soapstone or steatite bold, used by a local tribe for crushing ochre and using it for body disguise and decoration during hunting. This artifact was discovered in a traditional hunting ground and was a rare find for the speaker.
Discoveries hold cultural significance for indigenous communities: Archaeological finds have historical importance, but their significance extends to indigenous communities. Collaboration and cultural sensitivity are crucial for preserving shared history.
The value of archaeological discoveries goes beyond their historical significance when viewed through the lens of the indigenous communities connected to those sites. The speaker's experience of finding artifacts, including arrowheads and a Bing Crosby mayonnaise lid, in a traditional hunting area of a Native American tribe, was made all the more meaningful when he shared his findings with the elders of the tribe. He learned that the shaman stones, which he had collected, were meant to keep the site hidden from outsiders, as it held great importance for the tribe. This discovery underscores the importance of cultural sensitivity and collaboration between archaeologists and indigenous communities to preserve the significance of their shared history. Furthermore, the federal government maintains custody of these artifacts, with the aim of protecting them from potential theft and ensuring their eventual return to the sites or tribes, when it is safe and appropriate to do so.
Studying Bigfoot's Curiosity and Habitat Patterns: Decade-long research reveals Bigfoot's curiosity towards humans and seasonal patterns in their habitat through the use of sensors.

They also believe in the importance of preserving the species and have protocols in place for handling the situation if they are successful in killing one. Their ultimate goal is to give the body to science and have it protected under the Endangered Species Act.
Exploring the Bigfoot Hunt with Ethics and Scientific Approach: Focusing on one Bigfoot may harm the species, ethical hunt requires the right weapon, opportunity, and time, diverse eyewitness accounts, recordings of vocalizations, and unique evidence like tag 7 add credibility to Bigfoot's existence.
The pursuit of proving the existence of Bigfoot requires a scientific approach, which may include the collection of physical evidence, even if it means taking a life. The speaker argues that focusing on one individual Bigfoot is futile and could potentially harm the entire species. He emphasizes the importance of having the right weapon, opportunity, and time to ensure a successful and ethical hunt. The diversity of witnesses and their professional backgrounds, as well as the variety of recorded evidence, adds credibility to the group's findings. The speaker's personal reputation and professional standing also add weight to their claims. The group's top three pieces of evidence include the diversity of eyewitness accounts, recordings of Bigfoot vocalizations, and the discovery of tag 7, which is a unique piece of evidence.
Bigfoot Research: Ethical and Responsible Practices: Researchers follow strict protocols, which include respecting beliefs, obtaining licenses, and protecting the Sasquatch population while studying their biology for conservation efforts.
The group conducting Bigfoot research with the intention of obtaining a body for scientific study follows strict protocols and safety measures to ensure ethical and responsible practices. The group, which includes professionals, respects each other's beliefs and values the importance of preserving the species.

The ultimate goal is to protect the Sasquatch population and learn more about their biology, including potential threats like diseases. The speaker believes that Sasquatch is likely a primate, possibly related to orangutans or Diopithecus, and obtaining their DNA would provide valuable information for conservation efforts.
No definitive proof of hidden homospecies: Despite legends and sightings, there's no concrete evidence for a previously unknown homospecies with culture, tool use, or fire-making abilities.
Despite the intriguing existence of legends and sightings of creatures like Bigfoot, there is currently no concrete evidence to suggest that there is a previously unknown homospecies among us. The speakers expressed their beliefs, ranging from skepticism to the possibility of primate lineage, but all agreed that there is no definitive proof of culture, tool use, or fire-making abilities among these creatures. While the debate remains open and fascinating, it's important to remember that there is no conclusive evidence to support the existence of a hidden homospecies. For those interested in the cultural perspectives on Bigfoot, Kathy Strain's book "Giants, Cannibals, and Monsters: Bigfoot in Native Culture" is a recommended read. Overall, this conversation underscores the importance of critical thinking and evidence-based reasoning when it comes to intriguing but unproven phenomena.
