Amazing video Dave and (late) congrats on your 100th upload! Bigfootville was one of the very first documentaries related to the subject that I ever watched, and was an inspiration to me in my journey as a Bigfooter. It was truly one of the best I’ve seen, and you’re so right that it’s a true documentary and nothing “showy” like some of the more current ones. Very sad to know that Tim, Dan, and Dr. Stiles have all passed away. My favorite part was the possible sighting of the tree peeker at Dan and Jeff’s location. Wish you’d seen that too.

Hi David, just wanted to sincerely thank you for recalling your involvement in (and the highlights of) “BFville.” Congratulations on your 100th! This was the perfect tribute to the documentary. As you mentioned, it’s hard to believe that was 21 years ago! Every time I revisit BFville, it brings me back to a somewhat more normal time compared to today’s daily “agenda of chaos and control.” I guess it’s true that the older we get, the more nostalgic we become for those periods of the past - “better days” in my opinion (as were the ‘70’s and ‘80’s). Also, appreciate you addressing the “shots in the dark” during the “activity” segment. This makes complete sense. I suspected there was more to it than what was portrayed during that segment. I always wondered as it looked like the officer was shooting at what they saw swaying in between the trees on the top of the ridge - right after he mentioned how "dangerous" it would be for someone to be out there in the bush in complete darkness, pulling a prank. Ha, they really set it up like that, asking him to shoot into the target mound. I get it! It’s interesting that this is/was one of the top areas of questions/concerns you get asked about in the documentary. I also thought it was by far one of the most eerie “live” accounts of any B.foot documentary - raised my neck hairs at the time! I am also in complete agreement with your opinion of “agenda” regarding many of the current documentaries out there, and go even further to include television in general. I no longer watch it (and haven’t in years). It’s all indoctrination; but most of all, it doesn’t support my agenda of critical thinking by any means. However, I would pit BFville against any documentary out there since that time, including the Monsterquest episodes. It definitely stands the test of time! BFville comes across as authentic with genuine, salt-of-the earth eyewitnesses and a “no BS” attitude - exactly what a documentary should be! I remember your role as extremely credible, educated, and knowledgeable on the subject and associated wildlife of the region. It hasn’t wavered at all up to your present day research. I agree with you that the producers also did an excellent job. They held true to your ethical standards. I was extremely sorry to hear about your friend Tim. I think you mentioned this in one of your previous videos. For the silent majority (minority?) of us Bigfoot believers out there, he’s held a place in my thoughts over the years. BFville immortalized him forever. You should be extremely proud of this. He seemed like a very knowledgeable tracker and someone who cherished his ancestral history and heritage - just an all-around great guy! Anyone would be proud to have a friend like Tim. I’m sure he will be sorely missed! It’s hilarious how you mentioned your kids running around at that time (and I’ve read other commenters on here doing the same) mimicking memorable "Tim dialogue." Heck, I was in my early 30’s back then and even found myself doing it after watching the documentary. Who could forget? “Do you smell that…? S-T-I-N-K, stay put” (big grin), or - “Let’s journey on - see what we can find.” And, a personal favorite of mine, “I ain’t ‘gone’ say, but that opening right there? I wanna’ see what’s there….” (while pointing over the producer’s shoulder as he’s scoping the valley). These are unquestionably BFville classics! As well as your description of the local wildlife which aligned to evidence of providing natural habitat for such a creature. You’re truly in tune to your environment. I’m glad your son Elijah now has the opportunity to be a part of your research, share in your love of the outdoors, and the subject matter at hand. You have raised a fine young man. Every dad wishes their son to follow in their father’s footsteps (to a certain extent at least). I wish my son were a little more open minded on the subject, but he’s at that age where only he knows what's best. I think it’s part of Piaget’s stages of cognitive development (LOL!) I constantly challenge him on what he thinks he knows, and play devil’s advocate at times to help him see the other side of the argument. This is essential in being a critical thinker; but more importantly, an individualist, who is not afraid to find their own calling in life, as you have found in yours. To quote my late mother (honor’s English teacher) quoting Thoreau: “If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.” I hope one day in the not too distant future, there will be a Bigfootville II. You could always dedicate it to Tim as he was an integral part of the original. I’ll be one of your biggest supporters. It would be interesting to run correlations against eyewitness accounts and any associated or additional evidence presented within the 20+ year time-interval. I think you are going about your research in the right fashion though, especially the fishing part (my personal love)! As you well know, fishing is more or less a sport of observation (and luck) - not only observing habitat and what attracts the fish, but also the surrounding environment. So, this should draw the B.foot in just out of curiosity. Hopefully, I can get to the Kiamichi’s someday. Thanks again for this Dave!

When can we expect Bigfootville 2 : Cindy's Revenge? 😜 Thanks for 100 great episodes.

Rest In Peace Tim Harjo and Dan Belda

Great video Dave! We need to make a Bigfootville 2

I love this behind the scenes commentary! This really was one of the best Bigfoot documentaries. It was balanced, authentic and didn’t sensationalize. I remember watching it as a little kid and afterwards being scared to visit Oklahoma. I’m from the Texas panhandle and I was convinced Bigfoot was going to come across state lines and get me. Now I appreciate the sentiment of the doc and the nostalgia it brings. I’ll be showing it to my own kids someday!

This was a totally awesome video!!!!!!! Loved Bigfootville, heartbroken to hear about Tim Harjo I picked up good vibes from him from watching BV. I liked to think we could have hung out and did some squatchin. BTW I've actually been fishing at Grand Lake beautiful in that area. Ttyl

100 down, more to come. Looking forward to your new book. People I can’t recommend Dave’s book “The Shampe” enough. It is a brilliant masterpiece of excellent character development and plot twists with some historical accounts beautifully woven in. You will not be disappointed! I couldn’t put it down because each chapter leaves you so curious about the next. Dave has a gift for writing. Do yourself a favor, get the book and enjoy being taken on an exciting adventure.

The morels are popping on the hillsides in NE Oklahoma near Bigfootville.

Congrats on 100 David ! Great video explaining that show !

I enjoyed Bigfootville and the two NATIVES as well. Happy 100th and you don't look anywhere near 100...😳🤔😉😁

Bigfootville has been a favorite of mine I still watch it over and over again. Loved that you explained the behind the scenes stuff!

Congratulations on your 100th show i enjoy your videos keep them coming!

I remember you ! You set up at the cabin and ice rains came and it was cold ! I know their there , Been into it for a very long time too, In Ca to Oregon and even Nevada , That Bigfootville I watch as it’s a video I feel comfort from watching it ! Loved it, Seen many , Been in the woods more than most could phantom ! Kevin

So sorry to hear of the passing of your friend. Very grateful for putting up Bigfootville! Had been decades since I'd seen it. Thanks, Dave!

Congratulations Dave!

Congrats Dave!🤝 I remember that doc and the night time encounter event. Had the news gal on edge.

Happy 100th Mark.

Congratulations, David, on your 100th Episode! Quite an achievement and milestone. Thank you for the back story on the Bigfootville documentary. It is a true classic of video evidence of these creatures. Looking forward to reading your new book!

Oh man !!! I'm so glad I found your channel, I just subscribed !!! I am a HUGE fan of Bigfootville, one of the very best documentaries made, I saw it when it first came on, recorded it, still have my VHS copy !!! I watch it every year, and on UKposts as well. David you were so awesome in that movie, and now you have your own channel, I'm going to watch ALL your videos, your the best on so many levels, good ole country boy, extremely professional investigator, I love to hear you tell the stories you share. You also have great filming skills, that ice storm footage was awesome, you could just feel the cold !!! Thanks so much for creating this channel, been watching for the last 2 days, ever since I first found it. Going to get your books as well. I wish the Travel channel would do a part 2 on Bigfootville. The towns, the people, the forest areas were so awesome. Made me wish I lived there !!!

I enjoyed Bigfootville. Thank you for the behind the scenes stories! I would love to read your new book about your investigations and experiences. I'll be looking for it.🙂

fantastic Dave. congrats on the 100th vid. its a great channel. and im happy for you and really enjoy the content. looking forward to this years adventures. it really is sad to hear about Tims passing. the Harjoes are a well known name in the Ada area, i hate to hear of his passing. its good of you to address these questions. altho its not really your place. i think it says more to your credit that you did take the time to address these questions on your own. so good on you for that. ive seen Bigfootville several times. and i must give you some credit, because (especially considering bigfoot and the perceptions of the people who are ignorant to the reality) you never know what these producers are going to do with the raw footage. they very easily could have manipulated anything to make it look much different. i think theres an agenda or coverup, or perhaps its just the butt of the joke to make this topic and all who have unwittingly and unwantingly had encounters with these beings, to make them look like ignorant fools. look at all the footage that the idiots from the bfro have done on their tv series. you can take a few minutes of film and make it look like something completely different. its an absolute shame. and as long as there are people like mr. moneytaker, who are more interested in makeing money, instead of finding the truth, this will never, NEVER become a mainstream taxonomical species. and that is a shame. its a detriment to humanity, to zoology, and to the race of beings that we are not very familiar with. i know that its an uphill climb, because there is sooooo much lore to get thru. as well as scams and scammers, but way down deep there is the truth. and the few of us out there that are not interested n the money nor making these beings exhibits in zoos, will be there hoping that some day the actual truth will be allowed to be revealed. i personally believe, in fact i would come very close to aying that i KNOW that the truth is being obfuscated. its being with held for sme unknown reason by the powers that be. those who believe they are above the people. and hold the truth for their own reasoning. but i think that they do it at the detriment of the average everyday people. because if this were to be known by all, and treated as an actual woodland being, then people will not scoff at sightings, and will be able to proceed with caution in an area if there is a report in the area of a being been seen. otherwise they are allowing people to go into the woods and unknowingly (potentially) put themselves in danger. i think its a great disservice to the people and bordering on negligent. when there is a bear in the area, the rangers will let the populace know that there is bear in that location. so that the people will know to be on the watch for potential bear interactions. its the same thing. however this is much much more than a bear. this being appears to have the ability to reason. as well as having opposable thumbs. this being its far more adapted to the wilderness than we are. and will certainly have a one up on us at all times when we are in the woods. so since the wildlife management will NEVER take this being seriously, i do.. so i treat ALL wildlands, as tho there has indeed been activity there. whether theres documanted cases or not. i just do not want to put myself in a situation where im caught not paying attention. keep kicking ass, Dave, and congrats on the 100 th video. i look forward to 100 more. stay safe out the please

Congratulations on your 100th video! I believe that I have seen them all now. I watched "Bigfootville" when it was first aired all those years ago and enjoyed it very much. I always find anything bigfoot and Oklahoma interesting, as I mentioned to you before, my dad was from Francis Oklahoma, which as you know is very close to Ada. I also have family in Coal County as well. We used to visit dad's family every other summer, but I had never even heard of bigfoot until I was a teenager, and that was through the movie "The Legend of Boggy Creek". That's when I really got interested in bigfoot. The Kiamichi mountains are one of the places I have yet to visit, and I have been wanting to come back to Oklahoma for a visit. Again congratulations on the 100th video, and I look forward to many more.

Hi David! Thank you for doing this. I loved that documentary. It got me out of my own head and allowed me to forget about some of the more depressing things going on in my life at the time. I loved the part in the cabin in the mountains. I'd love to have been up there with you guys. Even though you didn't find much evidence that night, it looked like something that was really cool to participate in, and it was spooky to watch right near Halloween. I'm really sorry to hear about Tim. He seemed like a cool guy.

Congratulations 🎉for the 100th episode

That is a great movie. I still watch it occasionally.

Congratulations on your 100th episode!

Congrats on 100. I really like your videos!

😊💖🐶🐶

Just seen this . Great channel Dave. U keep things balanced . God bless brother. Appreciate the content.

✌😎

Congrats on 100th

Epic

Man does that bring back memories! You must have been in your twenties. Lol! I know you don’t do Facebook so I posted this video as well as a link to Bigfootville on my FB page. Congrats on 100!

i enjoyed watching this

Bigfootville! Didn't the police officer pass too? Dan B? I don't think I ever seen that clip where he fired his gun.

Happy 100! I can’t tell you how many times my cousins and I, running up and down our creek have recited that Tim Harjo line! “You smell that? Stink. Stay put.” Have you ever considered returning to that specific area near Grand Lake to camp?

I read both your books and they were very good. I had a very up close encounter with one and it changed my view of the woods and what might be lurking within. I would like to read more encounters that you have recieved.

Your book The Shampe just came from Amazon. One of these days I’ll come by your store to get you to sign it. Thank you for telling about Bigfootville. I watched that documentary when it first came out. Even tried to E mail you back then about my sighting at Atwood, but it didn’t go through. Alan

Hey Dave. First off, congrats on the new book. I've been really enjoying it. Well done. I'm curious about something regarding bigfootville. I've wondered this for a while, do you ever get tired of being asked about the show and always being associated with it? I'm just curious because it seems like people always bring it up and ask about it or your involvement in it, when I know there's far more to you and your research than Bigf9tvile. Thank you for all of your awesome work, and your fantastic writings. Your a true Oklahoma treasure.

How about #Discovery + drops a 13 episode series with you? Stories, your personal adventures maybe?

I hope all your subscribers buy your book

Haha. That shooting part has bugged you ever since 😂

I was curious that if something was watching you all from the ridge, how did it leave the area and make no noise? It seemed like it was fall or winter with all the leaves crunching. So I would assume you'd hear it going through the woods, unless it took to the trees. Did it feel like you all were being watched? Have you been back to that place since?
