Turtleman's Hunt for Bigfoot Episode 3

Okay, I'm gonna raise it up now. Come and check this out what it's gonna look like when we raise it up there. Here we go. Wow, it didn't even hurt the footprint underneath. Oh my gosh. Check it out. Let me uh Just can't believe it. Oh my gosh. We don't want a picture of you. Hold it. Hold it up. Yeah, wow, that is crazy. Oh my, it's huge. What kind of call did it sound like? What time do you think it is? Two o'clock? There it is. It's coming up a storm. We got to get back All right. Dang it. Oh, there's a half-eaten banana. I don't know what's going on here. Let's check it out. Check it out. Let's see what's going on. Who knows. Hey, can you tell by the banana how freshly it's been? Yeah, it ain't turned, well it ain't brown. No, I've had these bananas out here for two days now. Two days now. So this, this is fresh because wouldn't it be brown and flies all over it? It's not. See the little ants? I just poked one off. I shouldn't have done that, but yeah, bananas turn brown. Yeah, this is fresh and I was curious to see if an animal had gotten to it. What eats bananas? Possums. Possums? I'm sure a raccoon would. They wouldn't need to have it. Possum would eat it all. Well, yes, of course, any kind of wild animal would have eaten it all. Might be the little one. Could be. And he remembered that. He might have gave you the rock. The big mama I don't think is gonna give you nothing. The little one might be trying to communicate. Maybe. I don't know. I don't know. Here's something I found. Check this out. This is what I'm telling you. Look at here. Bones that were a dead deer. Something just ripped it to pieces. It could be coyotes. Could it be a Bigfoot? Awful weird. It's like clean. It ain't that old either. It ain't even no hair around it. Gosh. And the head's all crushed. Here's the head. Check out the head. The head's crushed. See it's been busted open. I don't know that busted open a deer skull. See what broke the nose off and everything. It snapped it. Throw the jawbones way over here. Here's the jawbone way over here. Check this out. Wow. That's the bottom jawbone. Pretty good size little deer right there. I have to put him back together here. All right. Somehow it went up in here like that. As you can see there's not too much on a puzzle here once they break loose. You can get the idea here. Pretty good size little deer. About three years old. Look. There's nothing left. Coyotes maybe? Or could be a sasquatch. Bigfoot family just pulling it to pieces. Just scattering. I'm eating here. I'm eating over here. Look. Why are the bones piled up? We got a pile of bones. Head right there. There's all the head stuff. Backbone over there. Hip bones over here. Hip bones right here. Something had a feast. This is what them bigfoots are after. Those deers. Whitetail deer. They can chase down one. Turtle out for now. We'll get some more clues later. We're going to, you know, everybody always wanted to know how to catch a snapping turtle. I used to see this guy right over here on TV all the time. Catching turtles, doing all kinds of stuff. We're going to be in a pond today with none other than Turtle Man. So if you want to know the real how-tos of how to catch a snapping turtle, you got the man right here that knows how to catch a snapping turtle. This guy makes catching turtles legendary. So we're going to have somebody volunteer to get in that pond with him. I'm not sure it's going to be me or not. It's crazy baby. But I protect them with my life. That's the way Turtle Man is. If you want to catch a live action snapping turtle, just get on in here with me. Stay beside me and I'll protect you and show you how to catch a big old turtle. Mean too. I don't know what he was, but he was a turtle. Them bubbles going that way? We're on the trail. There you go. We're a live tree. Get my lashing. Don't try that at home. There's the bubble. There's the torpedo bubble line. There's the torpedo bubble line. See him This is good enough, but I wanted to say thank you for a fun day. I really enjoyed it and I had fun during the turtle hunt. Yeah, I had fun today too, man. I've been trying to get in that pond for 10 or 12 years, if not more. That was like that. Woo! It's a blessing today, boy. We got some turtles today. Man, that was awesome. Well, I caught some big turtles too. I know that you really enjoyed turtle catching. Now, let me ask you a question. Do you like Bigfoot hunting better or catching the turtles? I like catching the turtles better because I can catch a turtle. I can't catch a damn blank Bigfoot. Well, we're trying. I want to prove it that these people are going to see a Bigfoot. I know that I'm scared. I know that, but last year, if you remember that movie that you saw or that you made me watch, it had a lot of people dying. It was based on a true story and that's what scares me. Then, when I see the size of the foot tracks and all that, I am getting better, but I will be the first one to hold Bigfoot's hand. In the end, I will be. I promise. He likes your blonde hair anyway. Just be patient with me. He likes you anyway. You just got to get used to him. Yeah, that's what you got to do. That was a big turtle we caught. Oh my gosh. Man, I can't believe I did that. How many seconds? 25 seconds. Huh? Huh? Bam. Had him. You saw it. You know I can do it. Well, you caught several turtles today. I caught five. Two little ones. I didn't count them. Well, while you were catching the turtles, I don't know. I just started thinking about a few years ago when I was filming that. You took me on the property that you grew up on and you were telling me about when you were little. Yeah, we're in Worsham County. Yeah. Anyway, I was just thinking about that. You remember? Yeah, I remember that. Heck yeah. That's where I first saw Bigfoot when I was nine years old. Man, that brought back memories that day. That's scary. Boy, I was scared for a whole year. I know. It used to be an apple orchard right here and if you look behind me here, down there in this woods, there's a white tree down there. A sycamore tree. And down there in that little patch of woods there, about six o'clock in the morning, I was doing some squirrel hunting on August the 20th when I was a boy, when I was nine years old. And that's where I shot at Bigfoot. Bigfoot jumped out on me and roared at me. He kept scaring me. And I said, I'm going to shoot. I'm going to shoot. And I just was yelling at it. I thought it was somebody trying to scare me. So, all of a sudden, he throwed a big tree limb at me. And I said, all right, you asked for it. Boom! And I fell down on the ground. I loaded up again. I said, I'm going to shoot again. And then went, I said, boom again. It roared so loud. It screamed 10 times louder than And I took off running from that little wood. Dropped my gun. So, I'm running hard as I can up this little valley, up that field. I come through those little trees down yonder where right below this cedar. I run up where the light pole is. And we used to live right behind this barn. There's a tall tree over there. That used to be our house right there. The old Grider's house. And we used to live there in the old scoot house. And I busted the door down, hollering for my daddy and mama. I said, Bigfoot! Bigfoot's out there! Bigfoot! And then Tim came out the next morning on up in the daylight hours. And he said he saw him just tramping around across this field right here. He crossed in front of this barn where the silo, on the other side of the silo. And there's a pond over there. And he went over to the pond. There's a pond, or we call it the bass pond. And it's a, I don't know if you can see the shadow of it or not there, but that's where it's at. And Tim said it come back across this way. And it come across this little trail here. Leaped over that fence. There used to be an apple orchard right here in this big field. All over, all this used to be an apple orchard. Used to be the ghost house right here. The big ghost house. And it was a big old ghost house here. But it walked right down there and started picking apples and went down. Used to be an old rock pond here. Old rock pond. But it's dried up now. And it dozed it out. But anyway, that's where my brother Tim and my daddy saw it over at the bass pond getting drink water one day too. And he was fishing. Scared him to death. He just said he walked up there to fish and there it was. And he just backed off and went right back to the house. He said he was like me. So that's a turtle man out for now. Catch you later. That's a Bigfoot story. Well, I don't know. How about if we just get some rest tonight and then tomorrow I'd really like to go back to the food plot and see what's going on. Our gifting area. I kind of want to go look for maybe where some huts would be. Or, or like, I don't know. Do they live in a cave? Do they live in a hut? Yeah, that's a good question. We do, we do got to find that out. Do they sleep on the or do they build little huts or little canopies or do they sleep on rocks or in caves? We got to find that. That's a good detail. We got to go see what happened. We got to go find where they sleep at. I got to get to know this thing where I can track it down and catch it. So the more I know about them, I can close in on them and figure it out more. That's a good idea, turtle gal. Good idea. That's a good idea. I've got an appetite. Me too. Got any food left in the fridge? Yes. You know that gumbo stuff you made? Yeah, I've still got some. That sounds pretty good. Sounds good to me. I'm starving. All right. I'm hungry. You ready? Yep, let's watch a good movie too. All right. Something funny though. Yeah, no more of that Bigfoot stuff. All right, let's go. Well, the bananas are gone. And the half banana is gone. And the one banana that we had here, it was gone last time. But we had a half banana up there and a whole banana here. But here's an old track. Check this out right here. Something stood right here. Here's a track here and here. You can see where it's mashed in the mud from the last two or three rains. We ain't been back here for, what, two or three days? So we decided to try something new on these critters. Something stood right there. Whatever it was, it must have ate those bananas. We're going to do some tests. And of course, I got this idea too. So, all right, here's what we're going to do. We're going to set out some more food for them. All right. So we went to the store and got all this goodie stuff here. They like cookies for sure. More bananas. Got some cookies. And check out what I got. Got me an orange bowl and some honey. I'm leaving him a cucumber too. He might like cucumbers. I don't know. We're going to put that down here. Look here what we got. Turtle Man has finally broke down and got us a deer cam. One of these cameras. So whatever comes and gets this food, we're going to see a picture right on this. Live action. I got this pole here just in case they, I'm going to move this pole. I'm going to move it over here now. See if they might want to beat on a tree or something. I mean, it's been here all these years. So anyway, I'm going to set these bananas here. One here. That one right here. So my next project is that I'm going to pour this honey into this bowl. I'm going to see if they are attracted to bright colors. And this is a rock I'm going to use right here and pour some honey on this rock. All right. I'm going to do that right here. I'm setting all this up here. Okay, here we go. I'm finding out what these Bigfoots eat and what they like. All that stuff. I'm going to take it a few minutes for it to run out. Kind of messy. If I was an animal, I'd like honey too if I was a Bigfoot. I don't know if they get honey or not, they get some kind of sweetness. We're just doing experiments on these creatures and doing experiments, seeing what they like. That's what we're going to be doing. Doing a lot of experiments. Plus, we're going to figure out if they live in caves or do they live in overhangs or do they build little shelters or just lay on the ground. We don't know that. We're going to try to figure that out. We are. That looks like plenty enough, don't it? If it's like me, the way I do stuff when I was a kid, I like to lick the pan. We're just going to leave the jug right here too. That one on top here. Put a little crumbs in right there. That'll be good. Make it a little good smell. Cookies smell good too. Boy, they smell good. Chocolate and cookies. If I was a Bigfoot, I'd be eating. Now we're ready for a Bigfoot. Whatever comes in that zone, we're going to have it. We got this thing up, got it in the perfect angle, high and low. We got it all camoed out here where it can't see it. At least I'm experimenting with this. We're ready for a Bigfoot to get on camera. Live action. I can't wait to see the results. All right, turtle gal, come here. This here is evidence again. Something came through here since we've been here. Check this out. Look at this. Now remember this stick you said it moved it? Remember that now, didn't you? That's a tough stick to break. You can't break that. It wasn't broke last time. Now look at it. It's broke. It's broke. It wasn't broke last time. And look, it got twisted off right here. Whatever stepped on it this time or kicked it, it broke it in two. I can't figure that out. That's, I mean it's rotten, but something broke it. It wasn't broke last time. Gosh, I see something else fresh too. Let's check it out. How about this now? It's like something peeled this bark off. That's awful fresh looking. Like something just started up there and just ripped off a sheet of it, pitched it down there and pitched it right a little bit of it right there. I don't know what's going on with that. See that tree? How high it is? See where it pitched it down? And that's awful fresh. It's like something stepped over that limb right here. Knocked off the bark right there. Check it out. That's awful fresh on this side here. Check this side. See that? Right here. See that? That's awful dark. This is old here, but this ain't old. Something stepped on that and knocked that off. And this is a piece of tree. This ain't the same tree. This is a tree from over there. Right here. Check it out. See how fresh that looks? Look at that peel off that bark. It goes all the way up and that's fresh. Like something peeled that right off of there. What was he thinking? What could have done that? And it's high up too. There ain't no animal doing that right there. That ain't no animal. Well, I'm just sitting here studying more evidence there and let's ease on down to check out that cliff. We go on down there and check the cliff out. Something uses this a lot. I mean, there ain't even no new leaves sitting on this here thing around this tree. Not even new leaves. I can't understand it. You can see where it stands right here. Like it's even sitting down. There hasn't been a deer through here. There's them tree limbs again. One's broke there. It's old, but like there's one hanging there. It's broke over. Ain't been that long ago. Probably the leaves are still green on it. So, of course, it's been four months ago when that was broken. Could have been a storm, I guess. But then you walk over here and here's another one. A real old one right here. Of course, it could have been a storm, but I don't know. I've been finding this a lot lately. Sometimes I find limbs hung in trees. I'm starting to pay attention to landmarks or something. This creature is so smart that I don't know if it's marking trails or not. I don't know what's going on. I've just been studying these things hanged in a tree. I mean, there's a dead limb right over here. Check that out right there. Can you zoom in on that, turtle gal? See that tree? There's no limb. There's a limb hanging right there and it shouldn't even be there. I mean, there's no tree like that around here. There's no pine. The pine is way up there. I don't know if you can see that limb hanging there or not. See that? Something looks like it just hung it up there just perfect. Every one of them's placed the same way. Just hung there perfect. It's like they just set it up there. Something tall did that. I'm gonna start paying attention to them limbs. I've been noticing them everywhere I go. This is another print. It must be a big one. I mean, this foot, look at here. It goes all the way to here to right here. I mean, this is my big 11 and a half foot and its toes are still right here. I ain't even got about two of my feet and it made a strut from here all the way to right here. My gosh, that's a whole gun link and I'm doing this. I'm stretching. That's how far it is to right here. That's one walk. Are you getting this? That's just one step going right down through there. Crazy, baby. That might be a big, big, the big, big foot. We ain't even seen the daddy yet. I don't want to. I want the deer cam to get him, not me. Yeah, I hear you. All right. This is a big, big, the one we haven't seen yet. I don't even want to see him. Don't got me nervous. I'm always listening now. After you see one, you listen to everything. You gotta be quiet. I know I'm talking a little loud because I'm nervous. Makes you nervous. It's very slick. That's a wide trail right there. It just comes right up this hill and it's straight up. Just stay on top. That way if we hear something, we can look down at it. Something's definitely using this trail. Check it out. It's got a trail right down through there. And it goes up it like no problem. It is so slick. Of course, we got deer come up this trail too. And big foots follow deer trails. I'm telling you, this is live action right here. But whatever it's doing here, it's just coming straight up it like this. It's going right off. Be careful. Very slick. Be careful. This brain's messed up everything. Laying in the trail. Can you see it? Laying right there in the trail. I found this, but look right there. Just thought I'd put that on film. I like the arrowhead, honey, but my blood pressure is a little high. Okay, you might need that for protection. Okay, just get it and let's go, please. Make it sit right here. You know what? You can really see a good view right here. Check it out. Straight down. At least 40 feet. Nice and thick, too. Good color. Bigfoots can hide in that, and they can use this place for a lookout. These bigfoots, they could look out over this hill and sit on these rocks and look out over this valley up on these hills looking for deer and stuff. They could take a rock and just throw it at them and knock them in the head and kill them if they eat deer. They follow deer now. We do know that for a fact. This would be a good spot for a lookout. They can see all the way around them. They might be good target shooters, too. Throw a rock right on something. Bam! They've got a lot of hiding places, too. Let's head on down through here. Honey, come here. Look at this. Yeah, I can't tell. One, two, three, four, five. Check this out. Right here. There's another one right here. Look at this. Yeah. It's been flattened out. You can still see the old toe mark. Look at that. All right, put your foot next. Look at this. I think that's the baby. Might be the baby, but there's a big toe right there. That's a raised horse. Put your foot on the other side. That's the toes right here. The foot's a little bit bigger. They got a trail going down this hill. Look at that slide down there. That's worth something. Just at the tracks way down there. Look at this trail. See way down there? Let's go check it out. Yeah, I see it. Find it out. I know the deer are. Darn rain has messed it all up. We got some live action over here. Check this out. Dead limbs over here. Something's trumped that grass. It's fresh. Them weeds. Whatever it did, it lifted that up, walked right through here, stepped right here. Check it out. You can see where it smashed it. Right here. Look, that's been smashed. Those limbs ought to be sticking straight up, but look at it. It's smashed. Broke in two where it stepped on it. You can see where it smashed the juice out of it. Look at that. Look at them leaves all bruised up. You don't get that. Something stepped on that. Something stepped on that. Probably hit its toe on that rock. So that's more weight over here. Let's continue on. I got some good places down here I want to check out. We're looking for beds and stuff like that. Looking for stuff. Check that out. Man, I see something else. Look at that tree right there. Something bent that tree over. Let's go look at that. Whatever it was, it went right through here. That's some more broken limbs. Broken twigs. I'm making my own trail because I don't want to mess up nothing in the trail. So I'm kind of working my way over here. Something stood right here. Check this out. I told you something was messing with this tree. I found out what it is. Check it out. Well, we can cancel out a bigfoot on this one. This is a buck deer. He rubbed that tree. He must be rubbing his velvet off. I thought we had a bigfoot sign. I don't think we do. But I knew something hit this tree, yo. I did. But it's got a crack in it right there. So whatever grabbed this tree, it grabbed this one too. It's a wide, it's a big buck. You can cancel the deer on, I mean the bigfoot on that one because this is a deer. So I can tell a deer. So see what this deer did? It scraped that limb and this limb right here. Scraping that velvet off. So that's what done this damage. Calm down turtle gal. Calm down like a tail nail. Calm down. Calm down now. We're good. We're good. Let's move on down the trail. We figure that clue out. See, I'm going to catch this thing. I'm going to show you fans. I'm going to show everybody what I'm kind to figure out. I ain't just giving you clues. And when I'm on the trail of something, I'm going to see what it is. That's a turtle man rule. Moving on down. Check this out. We got a clue here. Something's definitely been here. Something knocked this limb off right here. Check it out. Something was definitely walking through here. It broke this twig off. Must've been doing what I'm doing, knocking down spider webs. And that ain't me. Went right through here. Whatever it is. I think I found a baby footprint right here. Check this out. Looks like toes to me. It ain't no deer. See it? Like he slipped on his toe. He was tippy-toeing right here. One, two, three, four, five. That's about big as my foot. See it? Yeah. There's a branch here. Huh? Looks like a baby one. Okay. I think it's the baby one I saw. You see that? Yeah, it's a new branch. Something broke that branch right there. I see that. Look at that. That's probably about about a week old. Whatever it is, it's coming through here regularly. Looks like it went down there. Now check that out. That's another footprint. Looks like something went down through here. Like he landed right here, but the wild rain done covered it up. Something landed right there. Well, I thought this was a cave, which it might have been at one time, but it finally caved in. It's been a pretty big little cave. Yeah. Kind of filled up on us though. Caves do that though, so ain't no activity going on here. So on to the next spot. No sleeping quarters yet. Check this out. Got some live ice in here. A little house we're in. He lives here. He built him a little house right here. You've seen them little brown and white speckled birds. They go sometimes they get in old houses. Well, he lives right here. He probably had a little bunch of little babies right here this year. Just thought y'all want to know that. Like something's been coming up and down through there. Check that out. Boy, if it hadn't rained, we would have found some tracks. That looks like a footprint to me. That ain't right. Keep on moving along there. A lot of raccoons here too, boy. Trails everywhere. Bobcats. Check this out, turtle gal. I think we found some big foot blowing, blowing boogies there. Check this out. Could be a snot tickle. Oh my God. That's funky too. Could that be big foot slimer from his nose? Cleaning his nose passages out. Stuck to the tree. I think it's some kind of fungus. Never know. You want that for evidence, turtle gal? Put it in your pocket, honey. Yeah, some kind of fungus. Look at it. Here's some more of it. It's just growing. We're good. I thought I had some new evidence here for us. You never know, new fans. I'm new at this. I mean, what would you thought if you came up with this? What would you have thought? All right. Thought I had some more DNA. All right. Don't think it's nothing. All right. Let's move on. Okay. Let's move on. All right. We're going to figure our way out of here. Check this out, turtle gal. A waterfall. When we get down there, it's awful dangerous, ain't it? Well, turtle fans, it's like this. This creature has plenty of fresh water. This is coming right out of the ground, right out from under that rock. This is a spring that runs year round. Wow. Plenty of fresh water for him to drink. It runs all the way down this little waterfall right here. Really nice. Plenty of fresh water for him. We've got the water situation figured out here. He can go right right here. It's a big pause. Of course, I'm going to boil my water first before I drink anything because they say you've got to boil your water. Always remember that. No matter how thirsty you are, always boil your water first. All right. We're moving on. Okay. We heard a branch fall. We thought something might have been thrown at us, but it could have just been a bird laying on a limb that fell. It's hot and muggy too. It rained last night. We've got like two inches. It's kind of washed away our evidence now. I can't hardly track, but I'm finding those signs. It ain't nothing around this area. I'm looking for beds right now. Could they be sleeping right here? We don't even know. This would make a good place to sleep, but no action here. Ain't nothing more down. There's too many rocks. They move that all out of the way. You ain't going to sleep on a rock. I don't care how bitter a person you are. Let's head on down through here. We've got a long to get going. It's getting dark too. Well, I was trying to walk around this bluff today. It goes for miles. See, I was looking for places like this, like upper levels like this. I thought maybe Bigfoot would be bedding up in here. It would show signs where he's been sleeping. We're looking for beds. We ain't found no luck. We've got a long walk back. It's getting dark. I don't want to be out here after dark. We're going to head on down the ridge and get through this jungle here that we came through. As you can see, it's thick. We found a few signs of a little Bigfoot, little tracks, but we ain't found no big, big, big tracks yet. We think the little one might be hanging around here, but they're definitely not sleeping around here. If they are, I haven't found it yet. This is the news. Try again tomorrow. It's getting late. Until tomorrow, we'll show you some more stuff. Total ran out for now, so we better get to walking.
