What a horrible thing for that 11-year-old young boy David to have experienced and witnessed. A torn-apart deer! I'd have nightmares just about that alone. I absolutely love story time with you, Chris. Something to look forward to.

[@basecampchris]

Thank you Nancy!! Appreciate it. Chris

[@LoveJesus2324]

I agree the frog and cricket sounds are a good sign! Nothing's eating them ao you're safe for now, right? Hehe Thanka for rhe show tonight, Chris! Will have to go back to Wabaunsee Lake next weekend for recordings. God bless!

[@iservHim]

Although the deer was “still warm,” the stench could have come from it. I’ve field dressed enough deer to know that some *reek* when opened up, and if the deer in the story was “torn in half” as stated, there could easily be stomach or intestine contents strewn about which would of course be absolutely rank. Just a simple consideration. Great stuff!

[@KyDove8]

You are correct but in most Big Foot stories there is a stench associated with it.

[@idid138]

That's a good point. Well, something knocked down a healthy pine, tore the deer in half and carried it along to their camp area, following & watching the group. Maybe bigfoot stink like this from putting the dead animals on their shoulders?

[@iservHim]

@@KyDove8 That's true! And since he mentions the stench later as well, it probably wasn't coming from the deer. I just wanted people to know that freshly d.e.a.d. animals also stink sometimes haha. No biggie

[@iservHim]

@@idid138 Haha this is a good theory. but yeah, I'm not necessarily saying that the stench *was* coming from the deer, I'm just saying it could have been when we first found it. That said, in this story, the stench seems to *not* have been from the deer since it came up later too

[@susanalford6443]

Good Evening Chris, back when I was younger, my grandpa and I used to camp in the Okanagan Wenatchee National Forest. We had heard different noises at night back then, I always felt safe with him. My grandpa used to tell us kids stories about how he used to see unusual 😮 animals in the forests, he said that they just want to be left alone, being in their domain. He told us that never cross into someone's territory. I feel for these kids, to have something that close to their camp, glad they were safe.

[@michellereed5638]

Chris, I love the stories! Yes, if the forest suddenly goes dead silent--not a good sign! Get the heck out! This IS one thing we noticed in our encounters too. In our Mt. Hood National Forest encounter we were at a newly discovered lake, now called Lost Lake. There was lots of nature noises--however--when we encountered the family of Big Foot--the forest had suddenly gone silent. In our sheer terror--we did not notice this ourselves. It was my mother who remembered this--she commented on how everything had gone suddenly dead silent--it creeped her out. Then Dad noticed it too. This one thing, and then four crying scared, freaked children--finally put some fire in them to pack up the car and get going! In our encounters in the Coastal Rain Forest area--we four kids marveled at how silent the area was, no bird sounds, even. We were from the noisy city. WE craved the calm and quiet. So we really enjoyed the serenity of the woods and the quietness. It would only be much later on in our adulthood(s) that we would recognize this as a sign of why this area was restricted. In the camping area, the forest was alive with sound--but step into this section of the State Park--it grew oddly silent. Bend trees, and mediium sized to large up ended trees knocked over with roots showing--good evidence of a large creature knocking them over--we had no clue. We were just children. The only noise was the wood knocking, which my brothers would answer in kind. ONLY ONCE did we hear "whoop whoop" and all of us whoop whoop back and laughed. Never realizing with what we were engaging. ONLY later in life did we realize. It was our secret play ground. WE unintentionally fed our friend--who left us gifts. Which we later realized is called gifting. We accidentally did all the right things to befriend this thing, coming twice a year--this thing never hurt us. Never physically showed itself to us, but certainly knocked to us as soon as we showed up the very first day in it's territory. A series of knocks, my brothers could imitate easily back. Those same rhytm of knocks would echo back. It was like a signal, "Hi we are here friend, and it was a sign of welcome to us--ah, you are back and all is well." WE left the customary picnic lunch in a paper bag on the stump, left in it's place would be the customary rock. WE would never wait and spy to see who would come either. WE just did not do that Chris. We went off to play in our area, and hike and go check out the view of the coastline. IT was a high up place about 500 yards or more above the camping grounds. Any way, all of your stories continually remind me of little tidbits of memories I have forgotten, and then realize, "oh yeah" I remember that too. So I really enjoy your channel. Thanks so much!! Blessings to you from Oregon.

That was a great encounter story/interview . I've camped in that area and back in the day you wouldn't see any people there . . . ever . That whole Mammoth Mt. - Area has been a bigfoot hotspot forever , Laurel Canyon , Lake Mary , the Horseshoe trail , etc. There was a scary encounter at The Devils Postpile which is about ten miles west from Lake Valentine , a couple was chased out of the area and had rocks and tree branches thrown at them the husband said a branch the size of a 2 liter bottle of soda just missed his head by inches . The couples story was on one of those Cryptid - Ufo channels a few years ago the main story was about UFO's being seen near Mono Lake . Be safe out there Base Camp Chris . . . remember the bigfoot fear the camera more than the gun . Peace

Back in the 70s and early 80s even the town of Mammoth was a ghost town and now unfortunately it’s overpopulated. Every place you’ve mentioned I’ve been to because of the camp that we used to go to. We used to go down to a place called rainbow Falls, it was beautiful.
