There’s a write up and an audio recording of the phone call.

Suspect the numerous fires in Mitsui Lake/Slave Lake area may have moved more than the moose, deer and bears from their normal stomping grounds, very interesting encounter.

Everybody and their dog has a cellphone but somehow nobody can take a picture of bigfoot ? Details of eyes, nose the gait and never a good picture?

Never a single body hair on one of those torn up trees or splintered branches, or a single molecule of DNA...nothing but a few interviews for sale.

Dozens of ‘sightings’, and not a shred of hard evidence.

If you saw one and shot it, and it turned out to be goofy old Fred in a gorilla suit, would you be charged with manslaughter? I’d like to know, just in case...

I’ve hunted that area all my life. Very cool report. I have a very keen interest in this topic, and have sometimes wondered when hunting in the area, wouldn’t it be cool to see a Sasquatch? An fellow I know, who was a non believer in Sasquatch had his mind completely changed one day, when he claims to have see one while bear hunting near Fox Creek. He is a hunting guide, and knows what he saw. Interesting stuff for sure!

Another sighting along a road, where people are. Imagine that. But they avoid people, they say. Okay, a few years ago, one was spotted near Spurfield road where the Saulteau River runs into the Slave River, 2 miles from where I live. Now this one is spotted near Mitsue, 10 miles from where I live. I live in the bush on the Slave River. Never have I seen anything, such as tracks, torn trees, weird shrieks or disturbances to my trapline or cabin which is where these 2 sightings were supposedly to have occurred. I call bull****!

Northern Trapper, have you ever seen a cougar around your area? A common animal, but very few people have ever seen one. I don’t mean to be a smart alec, just saying.

We live in an age of hard science c/w DNA testing. “I know what I saw” just doesn’t cut it anymore.

Cris Angel and David Copperfield make a very nice living from people who “know what they saw”.

We have quite a few, have seen them, in fact one in my yard. Also, I have trail cams which picks up the odd one in my garden, following the deer. I am 70 years of age, and have trapped this area all my life, and my father before that. Cougar check out my Marten and Fisher sets regular as evidenced by their tracks in the snow. No sasquatch.

Thanks for that Northern Trapper. That’s cool stuff too. I saw a cougar on what we used to call the baseline that goes into the Salteaux airstrip. I was totally surprised when I saw it. It would be cool to sit down with you sometime for a beer, to talk about the area, and your trapping g experiences. Have a great summer, and all the best!

There is a very simple logical explanation. It didn't happen. Next

We old guys still call it the "baseline". Sourdough's trapline is just south of the baseline. On the airstrip end, another good friend and his sons trap the old Bill Golden line. I am quite familiar with most all traplines in the area. They have cougar, as well as more grizzly than I do on my lower line. Take care.

Wink wink, wink, nudge, nudge

It's a good thing his wife was with him, otherwise the Sasquatch might of thought he was single and looking.

I know of a guy ( true story!) that used to get dressed up in a Sasquatch suit complete with claw foot boots and get dropped off on our lease roads up here at night.
he would hide in the bush and when a logging truck came by he would run across the road in the headlights!
All good until one night a welding rig hit the brakes and the rifle came out!!
When buddy came by to pick him up ( this was before cell phones) he had to stop and flash the lights and hit the horn for quite a bit before our "Sasquatch" came out of the bush!!
That was the LAST time he pulled that prank!

Where were you at the referenced time and do you have a fur or brown ghillie suit in your garage?

Just one of the locals off for a hike in the bush.

Here, hold my beer. Some things are just better not done, no matter how good they sound among a couple of buddies. Thinking the welding truck guys were playing a reverse.

Bahahaha! Wrong site and only a few of us know Gatehouse on here. Heck, half of HuntingBC doesn’t know Gatehouse since he changed his handle a few years back...

But I have to admit that every Sasquatch thread that comes up I think about him in the pink tutu also...that was priceless!

I’ve seen Sourdoughs cabin before and have also been by one of the cabins on the Bill Golden line. In fact one time I went by the cabin and there was a black bear standing on the front porch. Nice spots they both have. We used to stay at the airstrip, and hunt from there. Beautiful country, we have had many good times out there.
