Elk Hunter Shares Photo of 12-Foot Bigfoot in Ravine

There's a fascinating video making the rounds on YouTube that every Sasquatch researcher needs to carve out some time for. It comes from a channel called The Facts By Howtohunt.com, and while the host spends the opening portion sharing his recent elk hunting success up north (congratulations to him on a beautiful young bull!), the real meat of the video is what he shares afterward from his community of researchers and witnesses. One of the most compelling segments involves updates from Keith Doviki, a gold miner who has had extensive experiences and has shared photographs with the channel. Keith apparently captured an image of what he describes as a 12-foot being way down at the bottom of a ravine. The host mentions that when you look at the photo, you can definitely tell something is up in it. Keith has apparently shared a whole trove of updates, photos, and experiences, and the host plans to do a more thorough deep-dive with Keith on screen later. But for now, that ravine photo is out there for the community to analyze. Then things get really interesting. Someone named Roger from Texas emailed in with some seriously intriguing research about a tiny figurine that was given to Keith by a Sasquatch. Yes, you read that right. Roger took the image of the figurine, did a reverse image search, and discovered it represents both a messenger spirit and a protector spirit. These figurines were reportedly made by a particular craftswoman around 1908. Roger's interpretation? This was no random gift. This figurine may have been obtained by the Sasquatch over a century ago and kept specifically for Keith. The host holds up the figurine for the camera and encourages viewers to check out the True Talk episodes with Keith to see the original gift. If Roger is right about the dating, the implications are staggering. A Sasquatch holding onto an object for over 100 years, waiting to give it to the right person? That speaks to a level of intelligence, intention, and cultural memory that deserves serious consideration. The second half of the video features an email from a man named Tracker out of Oregon, who came fishing with the host a couple of weeks back. Tracker's story is the kind of encounter report that makes the hair on your arms stand up. He describes packing out elk with his wife using a pack string of horses and mules on a 10-mile trail. About two miles in, they started hearing an extremely deep, short howl on both sides of them. The howls were gruff, loud, and short, nothing like wolves. The horses got extremely nervous. His wife asked if they were wolves, and Tracker said no, the howls were too gruff, loud, and short. The sounds continued for about two miles down to a saddle, with the beings staying just out of eyesight in the heavy timber, never showing themselves. But here's the detail that gets me: Tracker says you could feel a vibration in your chest every time they sounded. That chest-vibration phenomenon has been reported by countless witnesses over the years, and it's one of those details that separates these encounters from ordinary animal vocalizations. Even more telling, Tracker mentions that anytime they had gutted animals in that section of the trail, the guts, bones, and everything they left were totally gone by morning, with no wolf or dog tracks to be seen, just flat matted grass. Whatever was taking the remains was leaving no trace of how they got there. The story doesn't end there. Tracker describes a more recent encounter while riding his loud motorcycle up the mountain. He looked down about 100 yards below him and saw what he initially thought was a two or three-year-old bear running beside him. But it wasn't a bear. The discussion cuts off there, but the implication is clear. These beings, which Tracker refers to as "crawlers," have been following him and his family for years. This video is absolutely worth the watch. The figurine research alone is worth the price of admission, but combined with Tracker's multi-decade encounter history and Keith's ongoing photographic documentation, you've got a treasure trove of material for anyone serious about understanding the behavior, intelligence, and cultural practices of these beings. The host's casual, conversational style makes it feel like you're sitting around a campfire swapping stories, which is exactly the right vibe for material this wild.
