Chris Spencer is one of the most grounded researchers out there. Always like when researchers can accept when their methods aren't working and change them accordingly.

As i've said many times before. It's not always all about Sasquatch. As Rebekah in the beginning of the video. Clearly gave a great ecology lesson on trees/plants and there behavior. And that's why i prefer watching these folks. Because you get a great understanding of the wildlife your traversing through. Being in the avian field as i have for the past 30+yrs working hands on with everything from Warblers to Birds of Prey. I appreciate this kind of education for those that are new to forestry wildlife research.

Another great episode from STM, this time with Eli. Great insight with three excellent Bigfoot researchers; Shane Corson, Chris Spencer and Rebecca Slick. Always love these episodes and can’t wait for the next one!

Has anyone ever thought putting like a running security camera high up in the canopy and have it facing down and outward? Like a camera on the corner of a building or a traffic cam?

Thank you for bringing up the whole barred owl thing!!! FINALLY! It is my belief that more than half of Bigfoot vocals can be attributed to Barred owls. I won't mention the name of the host or the show, but there is a show here on UKposts where the host has been researching for more than 40 plus years, but he regularly has on a guest, a woman from the Northeast, who comes on to play her latest "Bigfoot vocals," and it is 1,000% nothing more than barred owls. She even makes the statement, "This is NOT an owl." And it absolutely IS. Then when I leave a comment about these vocals being nothing more than owls (and also list my professional credentials to back myself up), I am absolutely ignored by the host and/or trashed by other listeners. I have a career centered in wildlife and I have seen these owls make sounds that are so incredibly voluminous and primate-like that it would leave you shocked. Anyway, my point being, that if this show host, who has been researching for more than 40 years (and whose credibility is being trashed via this woman), doesn't know the difference between barred owls and Bigfoot, then imagine all the ordinary people out there who are misconstruing the sounds. This issue needs to be addressed on other outlets, and as much as possible , but THANK YOU for at least doing your part to open up the conversation!!!

The NA Sounds are some of the most interesting and compelling in this field of research. Kudos to those determined individuals that captured them! It's amazing how much more sensitive to smells the wild game are compared to us humans. For example the bobcat and the bear go straight to the cameras, like "what's up bro, I see you".

Barred Owls usually have a straight or varied but similar; "Who cooks for you" to there calls. It's very distinct and if you've spend anytime in a deep forest setting where they are prevalent. You'll get familiar with this call very quickly.

If you want to know how to get audio Chris Spencer is the one to ask. He helped me build my recorders and helped me with some audio I couldn't identify. Great dude.

Another great one, STM. Well done Eli! Thank you for sharing!

Loved Rebekah giving the Pileated Woodpecker info. They are our largest woodpecker at 17in rivaling the size of an American Crow. They are mainly out west in the area's you folks due your squatch research. As they prefer old growth forests. However, they are also in Florida as i've seen them there as well. After they have finished excavating a hole it's often used by Screech Owls or squirrels. Where i live we don't get them or so i thought until one day i found one on my suet feeder VERY VERY rare treat for my area in the Northeast. My typical backyard fare is; Downy, Hairy, Red Bellied woodpeckers. Along with our largest resident the Northern or Yellow Shafted Flicker at 13in. Pileated also love ants and like there smaller Flicker cousins out west being the Gilded and Red Shafted. You'll often seen them on the ground boring into old fallen wood logs or directly into the ground in search of ants and grubs.

Another great episode! This has been an excellent series. Everyone involved in the OP is doing fantastic work and again, they should be commended for everything they do. And HUGE props to Eli and the STM crew, for creating this excellent series!

I do enjoy the shows with the OP & the nesting area! Great job again Eli. Those treks in the woods look like a really great day.

This was almost bucolic. And full of excellent ecology and bushcraft information. Still enjoying such a long stay in the Olympic Peninsula!

I totally appreciate anyone who puts this much effort to find truth.

Can’t wait for another great episode! BTW, has STM ever investigated “The Land Between the Lakes” in Kentucky/Tennessee?

Eli, excellent work as always. So thorough. The dedication of the researchers is astounding. They work to remain science-based in a field where sensationalism sells. 🎉

99.999% of the time if a human sees a trail camera theyre just gonna steal it if theyre going to do anything to it, especially if theyre trespassing and/or poaching.

Another wonderful video Eli! STM, thank-you! Can’t wait to see the next one! Eli, you bring excellent information and i really like your work!

This is a great video, guys. I enjoyed getting to know the team more, but also hearing about their experiences and how the local ecosystem can influence BF research.

I enjoy your work Eli. Believe in this thing or not, you bring good information and present it well.

💚👋 First of all, KUDOS 👏👏👏to ALL RESEARCHERS of Olympic Project. The hard work and countless hours in the winter and summer months collecting data of Sasquatch and other animals in the forest. True dedication💯👍indeed. Also, STM/BTT out there bringing well documented amazing camera audio footage. Gives one that feeling, you're there within the forestry😮and I am watching on my phone. I can only imagine watching from a large screen of which I don't have at this time. Well done, Eli, bringing all this most informative research taken place💯👍💯👍Thank you in the manner that you present this project.

Love the video, high quality work as always! Curious when we'll get another episode of Mysteries and Monsters tho? Probably my favorite series yall have put out

I love those trailer camera shoots, It’s so rare to get to se animals just roaming around totally undisturbed and relaxed like that!

Thank you! This video was really informative and enjoyable to watch. Great work team!

Thank you for a very knowledgeable video. It was very interesting. I also liked the sounds of a owl and a Bigfoot. I would of never noticed the difference. Very good!!!! Until the next video. Stay safe and keep your eyes open especially in the woods.

I enjoyed this episode. I have never heard a Barred Owl vocalizing before and, if I had heard this out on a trail, I would have thought something weird was out there but now I know. I also liked the comparison videos!

Could it be that trail cameras fail to catch BF as they are able to see the infrared beam?

So excited following and wishing you great success from Scotland

The silence of those woods is deafening. I have some PTSD from an experience when I was much younger and have not been able to bring myself to go back out into the woods since. I used to spend every day out hiking through the woods every chance I got. The woods was always so noisy with birds singing and squirrels scurrying and deer making noise and bugs and more. Well, one day I was deep out in the woods and the noisy woods became silent, like in the first part of this video. I immediately went on high alert and then there was a branch snap not far away and I bolted like a scared deer. Never did see what it was, but whatever it was, it was heavy and the forest critters didn't like it. It scared me so badly that I have flashbacks still.

Gday from Australia Eli ! Great episode, really enjoyed it. Not everything is transferable in regards to searching for our Yowie down under but many thought provoking points I’ll take onboard . Keep up the great work mate ! 👍

Thank you for sharing Wishing you a Happy, Healthy, and Safe 2024

I've been hearing a ton of high strangeness coming out from the Ozarks. It sort of seeps out slowly at first, but if you are aware of it and listen to folks it is way more often than I would've imagined.

To mitigate smell, they need a specific set of clothes they wear only when in the woods, don’t wash them, ever. the danker the better. Don’t wash a couple of days before going in. When There, rub the dirt over yourself. No deodorants, soaps or perfumes.

Maybe you guys should make an arrangement with anthropology or primatology students, make an arrangement with them to employ them after graduation and hopefully have some young, educated people come work for the Olympic project where you can get the trained scientists brought into the fold of Sasquatch investigation and they can help you scientifically. Maybe even keep their names private in case they afraid of ruining their reputations in the scientific field. Just a thought.

Honestly surprised it doesn't have more subs. Great videography, narration and group of friends. I notice all these creatures seem to smell the trail cams. Wonder if bigfoot smell it too and stay clear from it.

I really enjoy your videos. I am not an expert on anything. I always feel like I learn something from every show.

I mean he cant just claim that no berries on the bushes is sasquatch especially because literally every single herbivore and omnivore within miles is eating those berries and one or two bears can clear an entire berry patch in a couple of visits. Ive seen every blackberry dissapear off a small patch of berry bushes within 24hrs in a year when the berries didnt hit very hard so the patches producing were few and far between.

25:00 and 26:30 Bigfoot audio in deep woods. Added to that footprint = wow. 💯💫 I know it's a lot to carry, but casting those prints would be awesome.

Great video. These are the best because your out in nature where they are.

Mildly arousing recon of broken foliage?

Excellent as always!

Just found this channel. It's great thanks!

Another great episode, enjoyed very much !

WoW🌹 Great episode🌹

The breaks remind me of walking through the bush with my kids, they just love to randomly snap branches as they go. Guess kids are the same across all primates lol

I think the time lapse camera would be more useful set up looking down the roadway where the footprints where found and the huckleberry’s tops where broken,every animal in the area will cross the road regardless to access there food 👍🏻🇦🇺

Great vibe Eli.

Thanks !

Hi STM , Marie from South Wales UK 🇬🇧 Once Again an Awesome Episode , the Researchers Always go that Bit Further in their calculations. Stay Safe Out There. 🫐🫐🐺🐻🦍👣👣👣❤

Interesting video - especially all the wildlife footage. Although I am sceptical, there are definitely mysteries out there; Just think of all the yeti sightings, like that group who escaped a gulag/P.o.W. camp, who all saw a yeti when fleeing to freedom. No way would a group of so many men running for their lives, make up something like that.

Why not place those cameras way up high (15-20ft) pointing down the game trails or down the creek beds. That way bears can’t get and smaller animals can’t set off. Set them to record something at 7+feet f height.

So one of the things I picked up on was to get a sound recorder any advice on which would be a good one to start with

Hey guys. First of all, thanks for a great show, I've seen them all. I have also been following some of your "colleagues" programs and I have noticed that a couple of them use a Geiger counter and they mention spotting a reaction to the Geiger, around footprints and other tracks they come across on. So maybe it was a little idea, for future adventurous investigations. They also talk about Bigfoot possibly being able to move in and out of dimensions, which may be why it's so hard to follow them, as well as not being particularly fond of cameras.😉 Greetings from Steen Hoffmann Misery Bay Northern Denmark

The first set of whoops sounded like a person attempting to perform a "whoop"....I would be shocked if those vocals were analyzed and not easily dismissed as human...the recordings played after are very curious (and semi creepy) ....but that's just my opinion...

Trail cameras aren't the trick. There's something afoot here we're not considering - widely, at least. There must be millions of game/trail cams across the US. Granted, they're not typically in the _deep_ forest and high mountains. Perhaps they can see IR, perhaps they sense EM? Perhaps they are so innately tuned and familiar with their environment that they can see/smell/sense and avoid trail cams? *Drone swarms* are an underutilized (unutilized, really) tool in Sasquatch discovery. Frankly, I believe it's the only way we will ever actually find one without it finding us first. Swarms could be utilized by on-site investigators with thermal sensors to literally surround an area with sensors and close that area slowly and methodically. The drones required would need to be small with enclosed rotors, and guided with a narrow AI assist. So the human pilot can pick a spot and the drones drop through the canopy, swerve through trees, and close in. It would require a very wealthy and generous benefactor(s) or a huge cooperative effort. Short of that, or some other major sensor methodology that can be instantaneously mobile, we are chasing ghosts. Which brings up a caveat some don't like to consider but honestly should be more widely discussed nowadays - perhaps there is a paranormal connection?

Can’t wait for another episode

Sasquatch is not the only one who knows what a trail cam is. Every critter that passes by stops for a portrait.

Top notch !

Would rubber gloves keep human scent off trail cams

All set for a new great experience of new episode

Need to make more of an effort to hide the cameras. And for gods sake do something to mask the smell. That’s why all the animals are stopping to look.

all i can picture when you guys are walking with camera forward looking at the recent broken branches, that chest high brush is something coming up on you on all fours....holy smokes. ideal squatch / Sabe territory, such a fascinating subject....

It’s great to have active researchers into Sasquatch wish I was living In your country so I could join the search

Remember elk have antlers that can reach 7ft or more and they twist their antlers if they get caught when walking through that brush.

I don’t understand why there are people in every comment section that don’t believe and try to spread negativity, I have never seen one and don’t think I will ever be lucky enough to, but there are days I just can’t stop thinking about these creatures and the amount of stories and research I’ve looked into online. I’m from east coast of Canada, my father is from BC, I live in Alberta and know people in BC. There are perfectly sane and intelligent people involved in research, and that being said it’s not whether I choose to believe stories and sightings, I know when I am hearing the truth. Men will say they’ve spent 50 years in the woods and never heard or saw a thing and they swear this is all just a joke and people are crazy! When on the other hand someone who doesn’t believe can enter an area for the first time in their life and not make it 30 minutes or not make it through the night and never go back again because they feared for their life when they looked into the glowing eyes of a creature that “isn’t real”

Did the OP team take some branches that looked stripped of berries for testing? Thanks, I enjoy your videos.

could they be pruning the huckleberry trees? Pruning would have a beneficial affect on yield.

I keep waiting for Cat Stephen's to start singing Father and Son when I hear the intro lol

I can't get enough of the nest site and all the research collected from the area. This find is pure gold! By the way was anyone else slightly depressed finding out Rebecca is taken? Lol jk A sasquatch research couple is one of a kind

I thought everyone ... and I mean everyone ... knew sasquatch are keen about trail cameras ??? They are completely aware of them.

Can't wait!!

You should put a camera by the river were there are lots of fish visible.

To potentially add to the growing body of evidence & to test the theory that the target subjects may graze huckleberry bushes by stripping the berries from branches with their mouths, I'd say that it may be worth a try to collect a suspect branch (as inconspicuously as possible) from several of the huckleberry bushes lining that particular "grazing trail"- being extra sure to observe proper evidence collection, transportation, & storage techniques- & having them tested to see if any DNA evidence can be extracted from them. I think that exposure of the rough texture of the branching & leafy forms to the soft tissues & saliva within their mouths could provide a great opportunity for collecting multiple DNA samples if they are indeed grazing from them in the manner that's suspected. It could also provide an opportunity to collect multiple samples that would be quite difficult to explain if their results indicated that the target subject's DNA shares an extremely high percentage in common with human DNA... especially if the percentage is so high that the current testing tech is unable to differentiate or easily confuses the two. And, how great would it be if it turned out to be a reliable & REPEATABLE method/source for finding target subject DNA samples that could be used in the future & by other researchers & scientists.

Ive never commented on one of your videos.But a way i cover my scent when i used to go huntiing was use hydrogen peroxide with a non scented soap.Just a thought for the motion cameras that were placed.

Is there any reason as to why they are wood knocking? To make a territorial remark? Or is there something that drops out of the tree when they knock it. Also is there any marks left on the trees that they have knocked, as the sound heard here 50:23 is really loud. Thanks for the amazing video!

That’s a bear causing the damage to the berry vines.

Awesome You Guys come up with another Awesome Episode can’t wait to see it 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Ppl.. Always listen to ur dogs and watch their reactions in the woods .they have uncanny feelings

Awesome. When does the American werewolf 2 the skinwalkers release to buy online?

Is this you on guitar? Love it..

It’s obvious that animals can sense those cameras. What is it about the camera that the bears can smell or hear?

Wouldn't there be slide marks due to being so moist or wet even during the "dry" periods within that area? With the ravines being so steep and Sasquatch being bi-pedal it would impossible for more than 1 to traverse the ravine without leaving not only snapped, broken limbs, twigs but also the paths would have signs of slippage due to the size...

💚👋Sorry late, but I'm watching now❤️👍

Shane is in his own world, hes got a great attitude, and hes a go getter

The amount of noise you guys make in the forest is as bad as a herd of elephants..

I have always wondered. "tree breaks" aren't a sign of Sasquatch. Like the natural randomization of nature, there is always a sign of selective values. Ones that seem like what we want it to be and ones that are more natural than we can possibly predict.

Cameras in the field looking for Sasquatch really wasn’t a thing back then …….good luck guys. Pls keep an open mind that these creatures just might have some capabilities that we still do not understand. Also , you do know that bears are attracted to plastic smells….especially insulation…..it mimics the smell of ant nest

I’m sorry guys. I love STM but every title of this series has been clickbait. I actually believe less in the big guy now that I did before watching the series. I know, I don’t have to leave a negative review but I’ve left positive ones before as well.

Idk the lack of attention of the research people bothers me and not taking something seriously… but good job Eli

The way they talk about two or three tree falls being “normal” is ridiculous to me. In my entire life I could not say that I’ve ever heard a tree simply just fall, while I was in the woods. Maybe it is just me but that is not a normal thing to be walking through the woods and hear trees falling.. but sure, it’s only suspect when there’s other noises to go along with it. I probably would not hunt from trees if they just fell like that all the time 😂

You should try sounds of an injured deer to draw Bigfoot closer

Just in time for my days off!!! 🥳

all these broken branches do not amount to evidence at all to me. A deer rushing, prancing, leaping away from danger could easily do that kind of damage at higher branch levels. That's just one example of how higher branches could be broken. broken branches does mean intentional action. I just don't understand. Also don't understand why this couldn't be bears reaching higher branches on their hind legs.

The sabe could be breaking off the huckleberry vines that did not produce berries to induce new berry growth next year.

Need a good sound engineer to isolate the suspect audio from the ambient noise floor.

I really like Rebekah...she knows her stuff😉

I think there eyes are sensitive to the IR trail cams that's why it's so hard to get em on cams they really are the apex in their environment

25:50. Maybe just shut up when you’re walking then you won’t miss anything. 🙄

At 23.52 in the audio when the guys are talking in the background in the audio there was some other sound like huuup is that one of you guys or another vocalisation

Whats with the Bears messing with the cameras? Do they smell like something they like? Its electrical field? I would think they would simply ignore it - but guess not!
