Finding Yukon's Bigfoot - anyone wanna join me?

I found my next Saturday night entertainment - finding Bigfoot! There are numerous stories about Bigfoot or "bushmen" in the Yukon. What would be more fun that sitting camouflaged in a tree in the dark in the middle of winter?? Is this a sign that this Yukon winter is draaaaaging on? Am I finally losin' it? Who knows...

Check out these handy-dandy "Flushing out a Bigfoot" tips from my new favourite reality show "Finding Bigfoot" on Animal Planet.  I seriously cannot get enough of this show 
Turns out, there have been LOADS of stories relating to the famed Bigfoot, Sasquatch or Bushmen around here.  And I'm gonna find me one.  I'm excited and it *might* be the massive amounts of jelly beans I inadvertently consumed tonight, but maybe this is my new calling. At the very least, you guys might get some "Pooh Bear faces off with Sasquatch" drawings!

Back to reality - according to this, there have been "thousands of Sasquatch sightings in the Yukon" and this describes a sighting in Teslin in 2004. A year later, in 2005, there were 9 people who witnessed seeing a "large human-like figure covered in hair. A footprint was seen by them and later a tuft of hair was taken from the site and determined by DNA testing to be that of a bison. But we all know that's just a coverup! :)  http://www.ontariosasquatch.com/#/yukon-villagers-believe/4545367196

A few more stories, one dating back to 1978: http://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_county_reports.asp?state=ca-y

This site is the real "BFRO" site, aka: Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (from the Animal Planet show). I think I want to get my degree in Bigfoot Field Research now. I need to go to bed before I completely lose my mind.

You really never know what you're gonna get when you come to this blog eh??

Uh Staci, time for a vacation???? What are you going to do with this big boy once you find him.......don't answer that. Remember those strange markings in the snow that you didn't know what they were, perhaps he is looking for YOU! How'd you sleep last night? I had jelly beans too.

Marg - I kept waking up in fits of panic, weird!!! I heard the snowplow way out on the hwy and thought it was gonna barrel thru my cabin.

Michael -have you seen it?? I LOVE LOVE LOVE how the main dude is ALWAYS like "this has GOT TO BE a squatch, there is no other answer!! I'm convinced." even when he sees a grainy picture, or a blurry video... haha! I love the madness.

An apple rolled off the counter and onto the floor! It has GOT TO BE a squatch! There is no other answer! I'm convinced!!!

The water in my toilet drains clockwise! It has GOT TO BE a squatch! There is no other answer! I'm convinced!!!

I breathe oxygen! It has GOT TO BE a squatch! There is no other answer! I'm convinced!!!

What was that sound? We're surrounded by coyotes and I've never heard a coyote howl, but I've heard LOTS of Sasquatches howl! It has GOT TO BE a squatch! There is no other answer! I'm convinced!!!
