Vanishing in the wilderness

[osoab]

I've got a black 45-70 Henry lever gun with a side gate I was shooting this afternoon. It's shooting right on the money too.

If I have to put a round in a bigfoots eye I think I could do it with this gun and it would take the back of it's head off.

one of the guys in the last three videos did that and it caused a lot of trouble.

I haven't shot my 45-70 for quite a while. My shoulder appreciates it!

Tony Merkle interviewed Joe Barger and it's a long one but interesting all the way through. He says he believes you need to use copper or silver to kill one of these things and that would go along with episode 66 on Vic Kundiffs site.

The dogman stories took place in Michigan in the Upper Peninsula. The story of him shooting one I can sure empathize with him because he's headed up hill with a heavy load and can only go about tweety five miles an hour. I hauled loads of paper when I was driving truck over the road and it would be pretty scarey to have a dogman looking in your passenger side window and trying to get in.

Joe Barger's encounters don’t just blur the line between myth and reality; they obliterate it. In this episode, he recounts the night he came face-to-face with a Dogman and made a split-second decision that ended the creature’s life, an act that still follows him years later. But that moment was only one chapter in a much larger pattern that includes repeated Bigfoot encounters, territorial aggression in the woods, and intelligent creatures that seemed to understand weapons, intent, and fear. Joe describes behavior that goes far beyond animals, strategic movements, government intimidation displays, and moments that felt deliberately personal. As the stories stack up, a disturbing question emerges: what happens after you cross the line from witness to participant? This conversation explores the cost of survival, the reality of predatory entities in the wilderness, and why some encounters don’t end when you leave the woods; they follow you home.
