In February 2020, a posting on social media showed a large dark image shaped like an immense humanoid. The man that filmed and posted the short video did not see the image, he was filming his dogs on the snowy trail. One of the dogs was clearly upset as he looked down at the image and whimpered. Both dogs were clearly upset.

| BIGFOOT TRACK PRINT? |
I was the one that first saw the image posted on an Idaho social media site. I contacted the man and he stated he did not see the dark image, but he did say he heard sounds that day on Canfield mountain that would be like those recorded on television bigfoot research programs .
I began making trips up the area, 11 miles from my home in Post Falls Idaho. This 24-acre open space park is located at 2305 E Mountain Vista Drive.
Directions: From I-90 take 15th Street north, turn right on Shadduck Lane, left on Copper, and turn left on Mt. Vista Drive. The trailhead is about 350 feet up on the right, across from the cul-de-sac.
The first trip was carried out on a very snowy day. A parked and started up the hill; the snow gate was still closed. I slipped and fell and ended the trip.
The second trip a few days later, my dog Riley and I headed up the mountains East through the locked snow gate and north up a
dirt bike of the road.
There was plenty of water in the stream as a water source. There was still snow and mud for tracks. The tracks I noted were bear, deer, elk, moose, wolf, human, dog and two in the snow that are possible bigfoot.
Along the trail on the top of the steep mountain was a bed nest structure of fresh broken off pine bough with impression where slumber occurred.
Two stones that resemble Stone-Age flintknapped implements were found in the area, one of local course grained basalt and on of quartz.
Two bone tools crafted from deer leg bones were found, in archaeological terms, bone awls.
The third trip, Riley and I ascended the mountain in front of the snow gate on the south side of the road. This is the trail I slipped on a few days earlier. The climb was extremely steep and very far to the summit. I would not have attempted the climb if I was aware of the extreme difficulty of the trail. On this trail two possible bigfoot prints were seen. Also it was noted that a possible resting depression at the base of a fallen tree that was half way up the steep incline. The trail was so steep that Riley and I decided to take a small game trail horizontally across the face of the mountain as to not assault the decline. We finely got down to the canyon floor and the road. At this time it was noted that several other outdoorsmen were in the area, motorbikes, mountain bikes, hikers and one couple that was there volunteering to pick up trash from an illegal dumping. We exchanged verbal pleasantries and headed off, they to the east down the dirt road and we west toward the parking area. We got to the locked snow gate and went down to the stream to the north for Riley to take a drink. Several times Riley went into “point” as if wild game were about. Heading up toward the car I looked back down the road to the east and saw two bags of trash the couple had loaded up on the side of the road 50 yards from me, and beyond that I saw a large dark image walk smoothly and quickly from the stream brushy area across the dirt road, heading south. I saw the dark image, similar to that in the video. It was black, hairy, very fat and thick, hunched over. The fur was very regular, and perhaps 2 inches long or less. I did not see the face or the arms. I could not say it was a good enough glance to testify as a witness of a bigfoot. It was not an elk or moose, yet it could have been a large black bear walking on its back feet. The ground was hard and frozen and it crossed in an area where the clay-loam soil is mixed with pebbles, not conducive to the forming of clear prints.

Oh
yes. I'll never ever forget that. It was a sunshiny day, a beautiful
Oct. 20 sunshiny day, 1967. It was just nice and warm. The moment I saw

Most
people that have not spend a lot of time in the deep forests probably
are more inclined not to believe in Bigfoot. I have interviewed
lumbermen from Willow Creek, up into Canada and Alaska, trappers and
hunters. I have, as expected, gotten the full gamut of responses on the
topic of Bigfoot. I find no value in entertaining the opinions of
armchair researchers or critics. The eyewitness testimonials I have
collected all feel quite believable and from credible sources. My own
feeling on the subject is that it is a subspecies of human, nothing from
the fail record. My opinion is just that. I feel this allusive hominid
does makes and use tools, from stone, wood, glass and so on. I am
convinced that Bigfoot stone artifacts in particular span thousands of
years in the archaeological record. Most people that I have asked about
foot whom do not believe those whom do not think outside the fake news
box. Big foot is largely a Native American thing, bigots against native
peoples laugh off anything Indians hold dear. These are usually
democrats that are after the Indian vote and other than that like to
keep them tucked away.
The
truth is, is that Big Foot does make and use stone tools. Isolated
artifacts are found through out the big foot habitats that have no
correlation with native American archaeology sites. These
"Squatcha-facts " are sharp stones that are found a good distance from
the stones' place of origin. Often ignored by modern big foot hunters
and researchers, these are important clues, their material culture as it
were. Other squatcha-facts are made of wood or discarded human refuse
such as glass or metal.
I
know that big foot has been "flintknapping" for thousands of years and
their ancient artifacts still adorn the forest ground, except for those
that were mistaken for human artifacts and stolen by artifact hunters.
Many of these stone tools made by big foot are freshly made and used.
Some in context with butcher sites and some in context with big foot
prints, bedding areas and scat. Often big foot make tree art, tree
signs and markers, may times the individuals will use their brute
strange to manipulate or modify these branches or tree, but just as
often they with use stone axes and stone saws they have crafted from
flint or flint like rocks. Often times these stone tools are left in the
area, but uneducated big foot researchers walk right by them, here
missing amazingly imp[important information. Stone tools can provide a
mirriod of information including fingerprint, DNA and Biological
Trace Element Research provides a much-needed central forum for the
emergent, interdisciplinary field of research on the biological,
environmental, and biomedical roles of trace elements. Rather than
confine itself to biochemistry, the journal emphasizes the integrative
aspects of trace metal research in all appropriate fields, publishing
human and animal nutritional studies devoted to the fundamental
chemistry and biochemistry at issue as well as to the elucidation of the
relevant aspects of preventive medicine, epidemiology, clinical
chemistry, agriculture, endocrinology, animal science, pharmacology,
microbiology, toxicology, virology, marine biology, sensory physiology,
developmental biology, and related fields
According to Wikapedia North American folklore, Bigfoot or Sasquatch are said to be
hairy, upright-walking, ape-like creatures that dwell in the wilderness and
leave footprints. They are strongly associated with the Pacific Northwest
(particularly Oregon, Washington and British Columbia), and individuals claim
to see the creatures across North America. Over the years, these creatures have
inspired numerous commercial ventures and hoaxes.[1] The plural nouns
'Bigfoots' and 'Bigfeet' are both acceptable.[2]
Folklorists trace the figure of Bigfoot to a combination of
factors and sources, including folklore surrounding the European wild man
figure, folk belief among Native Americans and loggers, and a cultural increase
in environmental concerns.[3]
A majority of mainstream scientists have historically
discounted the existence of Bigfoot, considering it to be a combination of
folklore, misidentification, and hoax, rather than living animals.[4][5] A
minority, such as anthropologists Grover Krantz and Jeffrey Meldrum, have
expressed belief in the creatures' existence.
I was trained in lithics , I have a degree in Anthropology
from CSUN. Ray Harwood has always been a
flintknapper, at least as far as he remembers anyway. Ray's father dabbled with obsidian on
occasion and when his brother Ted saw the Crabtree film in college and came
home with new enthusiasm, the race was
on. Ray began experimenting with
additional methods as he was addicted.
Clay
was active in southern California especially along the coast for some
40 years. Trained under Francois Bordes in France in Lithic technology.
MA at UCLA, trained Ray Harwood in Archaeology and lithics..

On a trip to
northern California the family
procured a small load of small
obsidian boulders. Ray proceeded to reduce one core but somehow
managed to cut off one of his toes . With no medical insurance in the family,
Ray's dad sewed the toe back on, it survived but never moved after that.
Ray made extra
money selling modern arrowheads and doing minor artifact restoration and
replication all through school, having classified adds in many magazines. He
attended CSUN where he studied under Clay Singer in the Lithics lab at the
Northridge Archaeological Research Center.
In 1983 Ray wrote "How to Make Bottle Glass
Arrowheads" started the
flintknapping newsletter; Flintknapping Digest.
Later that year
Ray founded the California Flintknapping Rendezvous and the following year
started the Wrightwood Knap In with his long time friend, Dr. Alton Safford.
The Wrightwood Knap In Video was the
first or one of the first videos ever
sold.
Since the early
1980s Ray has written the self published
book," The History Of Modern Flintknapping" and had dozens of
articles published concerning lithics and/or flintknapping. He also helped knapper Gary Pickett with
starting the world's longest running monthly knap-in, "The Bakersfield
Knap-in" , where he just returned from the 15 year celebration*. He also has several knapper blog sites
including a fairly popular one at:
http://flintknappingmagazine.blogspot.com/

Ray has just returned from a visit with Emory Coons in Burns Oregon
and the Kettle Falls, Columbia River
Knap-in in Eastern Washington. This knap-in
hosted by Patrick Farneman ( guitar-singer, host of event,
wilderness skills, PSK) patrickf@bridgestothepast.org and Kyle Chambers ( Kettle Falls Museum -
knapper, woodsman at practicalnaturist@gmail.com). At the knap-in he met PSK webmaster Jim
Keffer and he states he was truly inspired to rededicate himself to a higher
level of flintknapping and to be an active PSK member. Now in Post Falls, Idaho and has been
working with Jim Keffer to possibly establish a knap-in the Spokane River area
and is working on a new mail order knapping business. He looks forward to meeting and working
with PSK members .
Ray at his first PSK Knap-in!
I emailed Dr . Jeff Meldrum quite a while ago on this, I
have a theory that big foot, like primitive man, and some apes, make and use
tools. At the time I emailed him, I had not gathered any thing in context with
big foot tracks, except ground stone tools.
My theory is that some of the flint, chert, basalt,
quartzite., quartz, ..flake-able stone artifacts that are found as isolates, in
that they are not in context with Indian archaeological site, some are absent
of age wear or patina. In short I have found flaking stone tools no where near
the source of raw lithic material, so modern knappers would not have chipped them.
Some stones in road beds chip from jeeps and what not, but I have found these
chipped stones away from road and trails. Some of these isolate chipped stones
have signs of age and some are freshly chipped or knapped. The ones I have seen
where not elaborate stone tools, but quite functional in modified blade edge.
You can Google my name, Ray Harwood, flintknapper and you will see I know
lithics and anything flintknapping. I worked on the "Calico Early Man
Site" my theory then, 1977, was that squatch may have procured flint there
thousands of years ago, before it was the Mojave Desert, the flake scares only
mildly resemble human work, which has a very specific anatomy. I have had rocks
thrown at me in the woods like on the TV shows, I think that is one method to
get a cobble to start the decordication flakes, or first flake to start the
core or core tool. Furthermore, if you have been to a knap in or watched a
knapper on youtube, when he or she works flint with a antler or hardwood
billet, it sounds just like the "tree knock" on your TV show. I have
a lot more if you are interested.
Thanks for reaching out.
My concern about this hypothesis is that there are no reported sightings
of sasquatches making tools. There are
precious few that have them carrying anything in their hands, even. This is also my concern about the idea of
them making tree structures and whatever else.
Until there are a couple reliable one-to-one connections between
sasquatches and these activities, all we can say about them for now is that it
is an interesting hypothesis. Even good
footprints would make this connection, I would think...
I think it's great that you're going down this road of
inquiry. Seems like you're qualified for
it as well. Good luck, and if I can be
of any help, just let me know!
Thanks for writing Cliff, I have found several 1970- films that have eye witness interviews with
the following:
1. Vancouver Island Sasquatch on the beech smashing open shellfish with a hammer stone.
2. Several mentions
from witnesses that Sasquatch was "clanking rock together" not eye
witness but ear witness. And about a
dozen references to rock throwing.
3. One video of a butcher site with tracks and stone tools in
context modified lithic flake, very hard material. see the chart I made
attached.
I know I can not say they are tool makers or even users of
tools but, when researchers see the tracks, beds, skat, and especially a
passable butchering site, it would be one more study item to come into play,
more more passable piece of evidence.
Meldrum received his B.S. in zoology specializing in
vertebrate locomotion at Brigham Young University (BYU) in 1982, his M.S. at
BYU in 1984 and a Ph.D. in anatomical sciences, with an emphasis in biological
anthropology, from Stony Brook University in 1989 (then referred to as State
University of New York at Stony Brook). He held the position of postdoctoral
visiting assistant professor at Duke University Medical Center from 1989 to
1991. Meldrum worked at Northwestern University's Department of Cell, Molecular
and Structural Biology for a short while in 1993 before joining the faculty of
Idaho State University where he currently teaches.
Meldrum has published numerous academic papers ranging from
vertebrate evolutionary morphology, the emergence of bipedal locomotion in
modern humans and Sasquatch (Bigfoot) and is a co-editor of a series of books
on paleontology. Meldrum also coedited From Biped to Strider: The Emergence of
Modern Human Walking with Charles E. Hilton. He edited the textbook From Biped
to Strider (Springer, 2004)
Meldrum has attracted media attention due to his interest in
Bigfoot.[1][2][3][4] Skeptic Brian Dunning writes that "The work of
responsible scientists like Dr. Meldrum is exactly what true skeptics should be
asking the Bigfoot community for, not criticizing him for it."[5]
Meldrum was present at a 2011 conference in Siberia to
discuss the Russian wildman.[clarification needed] He acknowledged that the
results of the Russian field trip to the cave site were most likely fraudulent.
He suggested that the supposed evidence found was simply an attempt by local
government officials to drum up publicity.[6]
Dr. Jeff , I think I frustrated you when I wrote you
regarding sasquatch and stone toll use. I have heard you on at least two occasions
stating the species is not a tools user. I don’t doubt your statements or even
question them. I think it need to be clear a
tools user is, or how it is defined. If an individual picks up an un
modified rock and uses it as a projectile or hammer stone is that a form of
tool use? Does the individual have to
create a functional edge or modify the
stone for grip?
And in the realm I am looking into, if there are isolated
modified or used lithic material ,
either old or freshly made, away from the source area of quarry, I simply think it is worth looking
into. I have not yet personally found
knapped artifacts in context with Sasquatch tracks, beds or scat. I did find
all three with
Battered hammer stones, and yes… mortar and pestles. I know
that the jaw of the animal is more than antiquate for this function. But there
are various scenarios that even humans use a crutch. I did not mean to
insinuate that the Sasquatches made, or even modified, the grind stone items, I
do think in this, perhaps a rare or
isolated instance, they or he/she was perhaps an opportunist. The reason I speculated so much as the scat,
prints and grass beds, none were human, except mine, and the tools had been
used recently.
I have read articles where deer carcass were found with
“stone cutting tools” but thus far the lithic material is to poor for even a
powerhouse, it would have to be able to achieve a sharp cutting edge. Fine lithic material like cherts, glass and
obsidian, I feel the animal, if a knapper, would shy away from as the flake scatter is very identifiable,
and these animals are track aware. Also, high lithics cut an individual often,
easily and deeply. Based on the strength of the primate, tougher
lithics, that no one looks at are used. More common, less cuts, blends into the
environment. Anyway, I have much more to tell you, and consider there may be
more than one subspecies. Please see

Ray Harwood figflint@yahoo.com
The lithic grade scale was invented by Callahan for several
reasons, mostly, I feel, to create a desirable point of reference for lithic
quality and workability. The chart is based on a numerical system which starts
with opal, the easiest to chip, and ends with felsite, the most difficult.
Nearly every lithic analyst, flintknapper and archaeologist uses this as a
standard reference in reports, papers, and articles. These new techniques for
the study of stone tools, are now a standard and experimental archaeology. The
concepts, "the lithic grade scale, and biface staging, are widely used in
flintknapping circles to the point the most new knappers didn't even know these
concepts were fairly new and again discovered
largely by Callahan.

Well, at least that's something. Nothing that positively correlates it to a Bigfoot,
but it does raise the possibility in a reasonable way. Thanks for sharing that with me. It gives me something to think about.
I IDENTIFIED THIS SITE, STONE TOOLS FOUND IN CONTEXT WITH 9 MONTH OLD BUTCHER SITE, ELK CARCASS INTACT, this on Fernan Saddle at the south east end of this area.
- MISSING PERSONS: WERE SOME TAKEN BY SQUATCH?
- Of the 15,207 people currently missing in the US, approximately 60% are male and 40% are female.
- The average age of people when they go missing is around 34.
- As of January 2019, there are 106 children currently missing who were younger than a year old when they went missing.
I began looking into the
science of Sasquatch. I was fairly convinced this was not the type of missing
persons case where the party in question simply wanted to go awall from the
Army or disappear from his responsibilities. The disappearance did happen in
the dark of night in a very wild part of the world however. North Idaho has
some very dangerous creatures that have an existence that no one disputes Back in
2008, Steve Nadeau, IDFG's Large Carnivore Manager, made a presentation on the
status of Idaho's mountain lions at the Ninth Mountain Lion Workshop (a conference for state game managers). At that time he postulated that "given an
estimated harvest rate statewide of approximately 15-20% (estimated to
stabilize the population), we would back calculate and estimate a state
population of about 2,000-3,000 lions." Idaho's moose are now estimated at
10,000 to 12,000, moose have been known to kill on numerous occasions . Wolves
about 1,800 in the northern Rocky Mountain region (which includes Idaho).
About 35 - 40 grizzly bears live in the Selkirk Mountains of Idaho. Another 30
- 40 occupy the Cabinet-Yaak Ecosystem of Idaho and Montana. For everyone's
safety, it's important to keep food and garbage stored where grizzly bears
can't get to them. Once a bear learns to eat human food, he will remember it
and cause problems for other people the rest of his life. The Forest Service
manages the national forests to provide areas of secure habitat with relatively
low levels of motorized vehicle traffic; that is why some roads are closed in
grizzly bear country. with Black
Bears Between 20,000 and 30,000 black bears roam Idaho's wild lands. These bears
share space with a human population that is expected to grow by more than 15
percent during the next 10 years. This data was gathered from various
government databases, the most shocking to me was BFRO’s Follow-up Log and
Tracking System, which is billed as the world’s ultimate sasquatch database of
compiled sightings and testimonies. They analyzed 23,000 sightings reported
from across the county. Nearby Washington topped the list with 2,032 reported
sightings .
