I have been doing this as my only hobby, (really part time job), for the last two years. 2000 whas when I saw the one in La Push.

Believe me I am a see it to believe it type of person, well I saw one 10 years ago, when the topic would come up after that I would say, "yeah I saw one" and then you got those funny looks and people make jokes. It makes you want to avoid the topic after that. It also changed how I acted in the woods and looked at things. For about three years I would not fish alone in many of the places I went before I had my sighting. I would regulary fish alone in the bush places like the Dickey, (can be very scarry place), Goodman creek, Mosquito and so on, I just could not do it after what I saw.

Well about two years ago I met this guy who is now my prtner in our project. I talked to him about what I saw in great detail, It was a big relief to be able to do that. Since then I have been on it.

I would not be wasting my time, sacrificing hunting and fishing time to look for bigfoot if I didnt know they were out there. I have found other evidence since but I do spend alot of time where I know they are living. I can tell you one thing from my observations there are not many of them but there are more than one would think.

Dave, I am sure Bill is not pulling your leg, the east slope of the Olympics seems to have a higher concentration, then say the west slope.

The areas people are gonna be most likely to see or find something on the Olympic Peninsula are on the south and east slopes of the Olympic range starting at the Quinault and ending at Tubal Cain. I have other recources on the west slope as well but not much. Another place is Dewato/Tahuya and Harstine Island.
