A lightweight .458 SOCOM AR pistol would be my choice. Light maneuverable gun with plenty of power from a short barrel and fast follow up shots.

Quote HistoryQuoted: What round did the Humphries use at Honobia? "Assault rifles" have been mentioned in the various retellings of the event. I remember someone specifically saying an SKS was used when the landed the shot. However, that would be second hand information. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Have you found anything interesting at the locations? Nice pistol! I live at ground zero of a bigfoot hot spot and ive done quit a bit of investigating and talking to eye witnesses over the past few years, the most credible being a Indiana state trooper a few years ago but other's definitely think they saw something, most have a shaky voice when talking about their sighting. The most recent sighting was a late rainy Thursday night in October around 10:30pm about a 1/2 mile from where I live. I got a phone call the next morning at work telling me about the sighting and i was on the scene at 4:30pm Friday evening. It was super muddy and this happen on a real active deer crossing area and the trail leads to the edge of Lake Monroe. Ton's of deer tracks but no squatch tracks. I scoured the woods and hung out in there till around 10:00pm with night vision and nothing. The dude that clam's to have seen something was a 18 year old kid and not real credible but I always look into every sighting that close to home. Iv'e also deer, coon and coyote hunted most of these areas for 35ish years plus hiked the Hoosier national forest a lot and i haven't seen anything. My uncle and his grandson were coon hunting a couple years ago in the HNF with about an inch of snow on the ground. they were walking a horse trail when they seen tracks come onto the trail from their left and headed down the trail about 30 yards and turned off to the right down over the hill. the prints didn't have any real definition but were about 15'' long with a 5 to 6 foot stride. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 10PM might be too early, that encounter might have just been random. Every location seems to have a different witching hour when they get active. You might want to throw some recorders out there for a while and see if you can start honing in on a time when there is activity. You can quickly scrub through audio with a computer program. If it’s an area with consistent activity, I am confident you are going to get a hit sooner than later. If they are pressing the game, your audio will most likely capture wood knocks. Always pay close attention to the coyotes. What did the Trooper report? Their were two other sightings that same weekend in a 5 mile radius. |

Their were two other sightings that same weekend in a 5 mile radius. |

Can you point me in the right direction to look into these videos? he has posted them on his facebook page before. i think they might even be available in the forum section of Sas Chr. I've these for years. its a homestead down in thick country of Tx. I want to say around Paris TX in some nasty country. they never could get the animals to come out when standard VHS cameras were out. so they came up with an idea of using a mirror reverse shot. one video is of the Garden and one stepping over a 5 ft fence like nothing. one video is of the Garden when two get into a shoving match and run off when a massive one shows up. 2 videos is of a white one walking up and over a creek bottom. one is better than the other. i think there might be 2-3 other video's. some of the best footage you'll ever see and MK has studied them and enhanced them. the problem is resolution issues. but there is no question of the size of the creatures.  M K Davis revisits the fence climber with more video  M K Davis looks at quick clips of a white Bigfoot  M.K.Davis discusses the Sasquatch altercation video  M.K.Davis discusses the Creek Crosser video |
