I am almost 80, a northwest native, married a wonderful lady 57 years ago now, two fine sons. I've authored a couple of books, designed game calls, deer, elk, bear, coyotes, etc. My outdoor life includes just about anything and everything.

I was "introduced" to bigfoot in 1962 through my aunts folks encounter at Fort Bragg, CA. 

As a follower, having read roughly a 1000 articles, collected many first hand encounters, that I am passing along through Salish Sasquatch. The fire in my belly is real and verified and I  consider the challenge of collecting,  educating and sharing stories an important, and vital part of the ongoing exploring part of all things Bigfoot. They are real, here, and waiting for more eyes and concern for our forest neighbors.
