In this remastered version of the original episode that aired back in July 2021, Brian welcomes Jeff from South Dakota, who recounts his startling encounter with a Bigfoot in Manitoba, Canada years ago. Jeff describes a vivid and aggressive interaction with the creature, detailing how it hurled a birch log at him, causing significant distress. Following this experience, Jeff dives into his research efforts in Northern Minnesota, guided by Doug Hajicek. He shares his innovative methods, including the use of a red rubber ball and peanut butter jars, to elicit curiosity and gather potential DNA evidence. Jeff emphasizes his goal to advance the understanding of Bigfoot and relieves the burden of untold encounters.Listen To Backwoods Horror Stories Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Book Sasquatch Unleashed The Truth Behind The LegendLeave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Hangar 1 Publishing 00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:13 Setting the Scene: Manitoba Encounter 02:19 The Bigfoot Sighting 07:56 Panic and Escape 09:19 Reflection and Aftermath 19:22 A Guide's Similar Experience 27:02 Describing the Bigfoot 30:33 Estimating the Weight and Size of the Creature 33:11 Analyzing the Aggressive Encounter 33:41 Speculating on Bigfoot's Behavior 38:21 Research and Fieldwork Techniques 42:48 Collecting Evidence and DNA Samples 49:32 Incorporating UV Technology in Research 01:01:40 Mentorship and Future PlansBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
