Topics of Discussion:

Current Events: Our discussions often include recent sightings and encounters, as well as interesting videos circulating online. One particular highlight was a humorous story about a hunting incident that turned out to involve a silverback gorilla instead of Sasquatch.

Environmental Research: We've been looking into Environmental DNA (eDNA) studies that allow us to gather animal DNA from various environments. This method presents an innovative and cost-effective way to track wildlife activity, which could be beneficial for Sasquatch research.

Community Engagement: We encourage our listeners to participate actively. If anyone has stories to share or wants to join the conversation, we're open to inviting you onto the show.

As we await our guest, we continue to share our thoughts and stories, fostering a community driven by curiosity and exploration in the realm of the mysterious.

Today's Episode Date and Absent Guest

Anticipation of Mr. Garrett Bell

Today is Monday, February 3rd, 2025, and we are eagerly awaiting the arrival of our guest, Mr. Garrett Bell. He recently had an encounter in Mississippi this past January. So far, he hasn’t called in or connected with us yet.

While we wait, Gary and I are keeping the conversation going. Gary mentioned an interesting video featuring Dell Brisbee, involving a humorous Bigfoot hunting tale. The story revolves around a client shooting at what he thought was Bigfoot, only for it to turn out to be a silverback gorilla.

We’ll continue to monitor for Mr. Bell’s messages while sharing various stories and updates in the meantime. Everyone is welcome to join in on the chat, as we enjoy discussing all things Sasquatch and beyond.

Host Interaction

Check-In With Gary Kendrick

We welcome everyone to another episode of Sasquatch Watch Radio. Today, February 3, 2025, we are still awaiting our guest, Mr. Garrett Bell, who experienced a recent encounter in Mississippi. While we wait for him to connect, we check in with our host, Gary Kendrick.

Garry shared that he is doing alright despite feeling under the weather. He noted the unusually warm weather, which many enjoyed.

Weather Comments and Personal Updates

We discussed the warm conditions we've encountered recently. Garry and I noted how a heat wave made the evening feel particularly pleasant. Unfortunately, Garry had to mention that his illness limited his ability to fully enjoy it.

As we wait for our guest, we took a moment to share personal updates and interesting stories from this week. Gary mentioned a comedic video involving a humorous Bigfoot hunting tale.

Technical Check for Guest Arrival

We are currently keeping track of Garrett Bell's arrival, who had confirmed his attendance earlier. As of now, I have not received any further updates from him. We checked messaging apps to ensure he hadn’t reached out, but there is no response yet.

In the meantime, we encourage listeners to engage with us, sharing their thoughts as we await his call. If anyone from the chat is interested in joining the show, we can send the link for participation.

Discussion on Rodeo Time Video and Bigfoot Theme

Dell Brisby's I Shot Bigfoot Story Recap

In the video titled "I Shot Bigfoot," Dell Brisby shares an entertaining tale involving a cowboy and a hunting adventure. The story begins when the cowboy, after being dropped off at a hunting blind early in the morning, reports firing five shots. Upon investigation, it is revealed that the cowboy claimed he shot Bigfoot after an unusual encounter where a hand reached through the blind and snatched his phone.

The ensuing drama unfolds as the cowboy, initially unwilling to revisit the blind until daylight, ultimately leads his companions to discover what he had shot. The excitement turns to shock when they find a 400-pound silverback gorilla rather than a legendary creature. This twist leads them to report the incident to the local sheriff, who explains that the gorilla had recently escaped from captivity and had been causing chaos in the area.

The Intersection with Feral Primates

Our discussion transitions to the intriguing topic of feral primates, a concept brought forth during the narrative. The environment of Texas has been identified as potentially suitable for feral primates, given its warm climate and abundant natural resources. This condition raises questions about the reality of such creatures coexisting alongside human populations.

Recent advancements in environmental DNA research present exciting possibilities for tracking wildlife, including feral primates. Techniques allow us to gather DNA evidence from various sources, enhancing our understanding of what animals inhabit specific areas. The ability to establish what has passed through a region contributes to the ongoing exploration of the wilderness and its unknown inhabitants.

Environmental DNA (Edna) Analysis

Potential of Edna in Cryptid Research

Environmental DNA (Edna) has emerged as a significant tool in the study of elusive creatures, offering new avenues for cryptid research. This method enables us to collect DNA from various environmental sources—soil, water, and even air—where these mysterious beings might have left their genetic material.

Capabilities of Edna

  • Cost-Effectiveness: Edna analysis is generally more affordable than traditional DNA sampling methods.
  • Broader Detection: It allows us to identify a range of species in an area without the need for direct encounters.
  • Non-Invasive Approach: We can gather information without disturbing the habitat, which is crucial when studying rare or cryptic organisms.

By employing Edna, we can trace the movements of animals like sasquatch and learn more about their habitats based on DNA evidence gathered from the environment. This could enhance our understanding of their presence and influence on local ecosystems.

Listener Engagement and Offer to Join the Show

We appreciate our audience and encourage interaction during our episodes. While we wait for our guest, Garrett Bell, to join, we invite anyone listening to participate directly in the show. If you're interested in joining, simply let us know in the chat, and we can send you a link to come on.

Your insights and experiences are valuable to us. Engaging with our listeners not only enriches the conversation but also brings new perspectives to the topics we discuss. So, if you have a story or question about Sasquatch or anything else related, don’t hesitate to reach out!

As we continue our discussion, feel free to share anything interesting you’ve encountered recently or questions that have been on your mind. Together, we can explore the mysteries that lie within the heart of the forest.

Local Sasquatch Reports

Hosts' Personal Experiences and Plans

In our recent episode, we discussed some intriguing happenings related to Sasquatch sightings. We shared a video clip featuring Dell Brisbee, who narrated a humorous encounter involving a Bigfoot sighting that turned out to be a silverback gorilla. It sparked our interest about feral primates and how certain environments may support their existence. As we continue exploring these stories, we are particularly anxious to hear from our guest, Garrett Bell, who recently had an encounter in Mississippi.

BFRO Report and Investigation Intent

We discovered a BFRO report from 2021, particularly noteworthy since it occurred while some of us were camping nearby. The report detailed a couple catfishing who experienced unusual activities, including loud wood knocks and large rocks being thrown into the water. We are eager to investigate this location further but are waiting for more favorable weather conditions. Accessing the spot will require careful planning, as it sits across the river, and current conditions are wet and muddy.
