A new docu-series titled "Byways of Bigfoot" has recently caught my attention, and I can't wait to share it with my fellow Bigfoot enthusiasts. The series explores the Niangua River, which spans 200 miles and flows through the Ozark Mountains, named by the powerful Osage tribe who once occupied the area. The legend of a Bigfoot-like creature living in the forest along the Niangua River has been passed down through generations of the Osage tribe. In recent times, there have been over ten sightings of this elusive creature, commonly known as Bigfoot. The host of the series, Linda Eastburn, takes us on a journey to find evidence of Bigfoot along the Niangua River. She explores the many conservation areas and private properties along the river, where the creature could potentially reside. One of the most interesting pieces of evidence presented in the series is scratch marks found 9 feet up on an oak tree. The host and her team debate whether the marks could be from a bear or if they are indeed evidence of Bigfoot. Larry Newman, a guest on the series, gives a lesson on footprint casting and how to properly document any evidence found. He explains the importance of capturing dermal ridges, which are the "Holy Grail" of footprint casting in the Bigfoot world. The Niangua River and the surrounding forest provide the perfect habitat for Bigfoot, with an abundant food source and deep forest areas for shelter. The series does an excellent job of exploring these potential habitats and presenting evidence in a thought-provoking way. I highly recommend checking out "Byways of Bigfoot" for any Bigfoot enthusiast looking for a new and exciting docu-series to watch. The series is a great reminder of the mystery and intrigue that surrounds the legend of Bigfoot. Who knows, you may even find some evidence of your own while watching!
