Hunter Reports Bigfoot Whoops and Snapped Trees on Cascade Mountain

A hunter's recent experience in the Cascade Range is making waves in the Sasquatch community, and the details are worth paying attention to. Over on the Creek Devil YouTube channel, host William Jevning — a two-time witness and field researcher with over four decades of experience — sits down with a hunter named Kurt who had a run-in he won't soon forget. The encounter happened back on October 10th, and Kurt walks through it in detail. He'd been hunting the same private property on the Cascade Mountain Range for the last four years, so he knows the terrain well. On this particular evening, his wife dropped him off at the top of an upper clearcut, and he was making his way down through it toward the bottom clearcut where she'd pick him up. The walk takes about 30 to 45 minutes. About halfway through, he stopped to pick some fresh chanterelles. He leaned his rifle against a tree and got to work. That's when he heard the first whoop. He brushed it off as a bird at first. Then came a second whoop, a little closer. Then a third, off in another direction. But the one that really got his attention was the last one — it sounded like his wife hollering at him from the bottom of the clearcut. Right after that, he heard something very large hit the ground. A tree or a rock, something heavy. Kurt grabbed his rifle, threw his backpack on, and got out of there. When he met up with his wife at the bottom, she confirmed she hadn't been yelling at him — but she had heard the big crashing sound. Even more interesting, as Kurt was walking down the old skid road to meet her, she heard footsteps in the trees coming from a different direction than where Kurt was walking. When Jevning asked about the whoops, Kurt confirmed there were at least two distinct vocalizations coming from different directions. The final "yell" that mimicked his wife sounded partially human, which is a detail that should make any researcher sit up and take notice. Mimicry is a behavior that's been reported in Sasquatch encounters for decades, and it's one of the more unsettling aspects of these creatures. The classic "whowie" vocalizations and the ability to imitate human sounds have been documented by researchers like Dr. Jane Goodall in related primate studies and have shown up in countless witness accounts across North America. The timing is also worth noting. This all happened roughly 45 minutes before sunset, which Jevning points out is right in that window — plus or minus an hour at sunset or sunrise — that's often referred to as the "witching hour" for Sasquatch activity. Many researchers have noted this pattern over the years, and it keeps showing up in witness reports from coast to coast. But the encounter didn't stop there. Kurt mentions that on opening morning of deer season, he and his wife were sitting on a point near the lower clearcut before daylight. About 15 to 20 minutes after sunrise, with no wind in the area, they both heard what sounded like trees crashing. This happened two or three times, and Kurt emphasizes these weren't small sounds. The timber where this was happening sits between two clearcuts, about a quarter to half a mile across, and the trees at the edge had already been cut and piled up — so it wasn't logging activity. Then there's the part that really caught my attention. Kurt showed Jevning photos of something he found further down the Cascade Range, in the same area where he's been hunting. Several small Douglas fir trees — about three and a half inches in diameter — had been snapped over at around the eight-foot mark like matchsticks. One tree, about 10 or 11 feet tall, had been snapped over and laid all the way across, as if it was being used as part of some kind of structure or shelter. Jevning brings up a good point about this. Researchers have documented Sasquatch manipulating their environment, sometimes creating what appear to be ambush zones or choke points. The fact that Kurt has had multiple encounters in this same spot over the past couple of times he's been out there adds another layer to the story. Tree breaks and bent saplings are a common form of evidence that field researchers look for, and the patterns can sometimes suggest intentional structure-building rather than random damage. Kurt also mentions he's a skeptic by nature, but his experiences in this particular area have given him a lot to think about. The fact that he's willing to share these details on camera and show the photos of the broken trees speaks volumes. If you're interested in the full interview, I'd highly recommend heading over to Creek Devil on YouTube and checking it out. Jevning does a great job drawing out the details, and there's more to the conversation than what's covered here. The vocalizations, the mimicry, the tree structures, and the repeated activity in the same location all line up with patterns that researchers have been tracking for years.
