Hunter Finds Mysteriously Snapped Tree in Sasquatch Territory

A snapped pine tree with no wind, no storm, and no logical explanation—that's exactly what Scott Carpenter of the Sasquatch Awareness Project stumbled across recently while setting up trail cameras on a piece of public land he calls Bakers Creek. The tree was green, healthy, and surrounded by other pines of similar size that were completely untouched. The break was clean, violent, and according to Scott, would have required an incredible amount of force. What makes this footage particularly compelling is the detail Scott points out on camera. There's visible disturbance in the bark where something appeared to grip the tree before snapping it clean off. He even jokes about wondering if a horse got angry, but quickly dismisses that idea. If wind or weather had been the culprit, the surrounding trees would show similar damage. They don't. This is the kind of evidence that makes you pause and really think about what's roaming these woods. Scott has a long history with this particular 1500-acre multi-use recreational area. He's had eye-to-eye sightings with a Sasquatch there, and the area has also been home to dog man encounters. Despite those intense experiences, he's made a personal commitment to not let fear—or laziness—keep him from enjoying the outdoors. In the video, he talks openly about an unspoken agreement he has with the resident Sasquatch, whom he refers to as Patty. He hunts in his area, they do their thing in theirs, and for the most part, it works. He even jokes about not wanting to mess with "Seal Team Six on steroids." Beyond the tree snap, Scott is also on a mission to pattern a specific three-year-old six-point deer he's been tracking. He's setting up multiple trail cameras around what he believes is a bedding area, hoping to confirm the deer is still alive and locate where it's holding up. It's a fascinating look at how researchers balance everyday outdoor pursuits with ongoing Sasquatch awareness work. There's something really encouraging about Scott's message too. He wants people to know that you can go back into the woods after a cryptid encounter. You can resume your activities. You don't have to let fear win. That kind of mindset is important for anyone in this community who has had their own unsettling experiences and wondered if they could ever return to their favorite spots. The snapped tree footage is definitely worth checking out for yourself. Scott walks you right up to it, shows the damage up close, and explains why he finds the circumstances so suspicious. It's the kind of on-the-ground documentation that keeps this field moving forward—one broken tree at a time.
