Question

1. In the DVD Sasquatch Legend Meets Science they have a possible baby Bigfoot being lifted upon another Bigfoot shoulders

2. I have only heard stories no evidence to suggest they are living there

3. Most of the time they are shy and reclusive but you will get the odd on that can be aggressive

4. Just about anything

5. I haven’t personally but I know of others who have

Hope this helps

1. has anyone seen or seen a pic/vid of a baby yowie
There is a still frame from a game camera that captured what appeared to be the eye shine of a large (upright?)animal..other than that..there is no video stills of yowies in any shape or form..
2. is there any in Tasmania.
Are there reports..probably a few
3. do they harm humans
err..no
4. what do they eat
they are herbivores..yet live in veritable green "deserts" like the blue mts...or they are carnivores...and leave no kill sites/predation remains and dont appear to have had any form of impact anywhere in Australia on any wallaby numbers..
flip a coin..
5. has any one seen a trail, droppings or hair from a yowie
possible trails..might have been human...possible droppings..which were never tested anyway..

Seems to me mbwmbwmbw, you probably should have just said "I dont know" There are stills, check the eyeshine of my avatar, thats actually from a real photo Dean took, also there is on this site a distant shot of a Ormeau Yowie going up through a clearing on a hill that Dean took i believe.

What do they eat? They are quite obviously omnivores. Read the reports, some have been observed eating in fields of planted crops, eating berries, snatching meat from camps, picking up roadkill - did you read any of that?

Do they harm humans? I am quite sure Dean has been in positions where if he had not run, he would have had the scars to show off, or not even made it back at all. If I was within arms reach of one I encountered I do not think I would have 2 arms. Your "Err No" response to that question if believed, would create a complacency in the presence of a 12 foot biped that could end with a life lost.

I suggest having some genuine knowledge and experience before answering questions in the future.

Hi bigfootboy, be careful asking closed questions as they lead to yes/no answers. Fortunately your question 4 is nice and open! As such, it has been a pleasure taking the time to carefully answer each one...

Q1. Has anyone seen or seen a pic/vid of a baby yowie?
A1. Yes
Q2. Is there any in Tasmania?
A2. Yes
Q3. Do they harm humans?
A3. Yes (not necessarily physically - occasionally mentally)
Q4. What do they eat?
A4. Depends...
Q5. Has any one seen a trail, droppings or hair from a yowie?
A5. Yes

Please allow me to remove your foot from your mouth.
The red eye photo was taken by Neil Frost who lives around the corner from me.


They are quite obviously omnivores. Read the reports, some have been observed eating in fields of planted crops, eating berries, snatching meat from camps, picking up roadkill - did you read any of that?
Gee yeah...The question is..have you actually done much besides read a "few reports".
LOL
Because if its in a "report"..then it must be 100% real and simple and easy to understand..how crazy of me..
How many witnesses have you spoken to over the years who have had weird experiences.????
How many edible plants do you actually think could support a large omnivore especially in the blue mts..have you been here, do you know anything about the ecology of this area.
Show me all the kill photos of any macropods....from anywhere in Australia in the last 50 years..that you think were done by yowies...or any animal for that matter..use your vast knowledge/data base/witness reports etc for this..I am looking forward to seeing your evidence from your "reports"..

Your "Err No" response to that question if believed, would create a complacency in the presence of a 12 foot biped that could end with a life lost.

Oh please..you have been reading too many adventure magazines..
The question was'do they harm humans'.Can you actually read.?
Show me the proof of them harming humans then...you must have something..?????

I suggest having some genuine knowledge and experience before answering questions in the future.

Yep...my lack of 'genuine knowledge' and 'experience' sure made it hard for me to rip into your dopey post..
Looking forward to you telling us all here about your 'considerable genuine knowledge and experience'.
let me get this right..you have run around with a backpack on with cammo gear for a few months...read a book?/read a few web pages... made a few posts here...and now you are trying to be patronising and lecturing people here..... bloody hilarious stuff

Mate I dont care who took the photo, I read about it ages ago and remembered it wrong, you seemed very adamant that no pictures exist apart from a still from a game camera and I replied with 2 examples. I really dont care who took it or where you live....foot out.

It only stands to reason that a large evolved biped with canine teeth would have them for meat eating. I hardly doubt that reports on Yowies picking up road kill are the result of a fanatic cleanliness habit.

Because if its in a "report"..then it must be 100% real and simple and easy to understand..how crazy of me..

Most will tend to agree that the admission of seeing a yowie opens one up to immediate criticism. I see no reason to doubt the majority of reports.

I have had 4 close encounters in the bush. 2 of them it was agressive and i feared for my life...i do not read adventure magazines - how many did you read to come to the conclusion that I have?

My experiences stem back to 1990 and I have spent plenty of time in the bush. Joe answered the questions with the same answers as me are we both suffering tunnel vision here? I would like to see how many people who look at the available facts that come to the same conslusions as you. I certainly dont think anything I have said would make me appear dopey.

[mbwmbwmbw]

Sounds like someone has a bug up their Time to take the pills! remember to say to yourself - Every day in every way I'm getting better!

Thanks..from a guy that forgot his happy pills and has to resort to trying to personally insult me I enjoy taking advice.

[mbwmbwmbw]

Mate I dont care who took the photo,

Of course not..
Why let facts get in the way of you trying to lecture me.

I read about it ages ago and remembered it wrong, you seemed very adamant that no pictures exist apart from a still from a game camera and I replied with 2 examples.

Show me the still of the animal going up the hill.
The eye shine shows eye shine.
I have no idea how you know what animal was there.

I dont doubt some are seeing something..what that is , thats the debatable problem


I have had 4 close encounters in the bush. 2 of them it was agressive and i feared for my life.

But you are still here.
If the animal was going to kill you..or anyone else..there would be bodies of bushwalkers piling up everywhere.
I just cannot remember any news flashes about the aggro yowies are in the area..please be careful.


I would like to see how many people who look at the available facts that come to the same conslusions as you.


Thats the interesting thing..most..dont look at the available facts...and come to their own conclusion anyway.
All they do is avoid the problems/repeat an interesting anecdote/make statements that cannot be falsified...etc etc etc
Ask Joe..??

[Yeti]

Lets get this right about the Avatar that you speak of neither Dean Harrison or Neil Frost can put there hand up on this one they didn't take the picture at all.
I have the original picture which was captured by MY trail camera earlier this year, this picture that you are showing has been manipulated and is not the original.
I have had the original which has been lightened and actually shows the nostrils and wrinkles around the face.

Anyone stating other wise about the source of this particular,seriously doesn't let the truth get in the way of a good story.
I am Paul Crompton.

[stickyfingers]

...hey Paul /Yeti... welcome to the AYR Forums... it's good to see somebody come on here and finally put the origin of this image to rest... I imagine that you have stumbled across this type of thing before in other forums and had your say there too... good on you... Paul... is there any way that you can post the original unmanipulated image on here for all to see???... if not... I understand... again Paul... welcome to AYR... cheers... Stickyfingers.

[Yowielover1]

Thanks for clearing that up Paul. I guess there was no foot in my mouth after all. It would be great to see that picture in its original form but I would understand perfectly if you dont want to release it on the forum.

I did say the eyeshine was from the real photo but did not say it had not been manupilated at all. I took the brightness up which interestingly showed a red hue in the right of each eye and moved it more toward the branch and made it bigger to make the composition better for the animated Gif. It certainly was not my intention to subvert the course of truth.



The picture you took featured in this link below certainly doesn't look like a stump to me...

It would be interesting for the non believers to see the before photo of this without the strolling yowie.

From what I have read you must have had a quite a few great adventures by now. Its great to see results from your efforts...and I hope to achieve some diffinitive results in the future.

[_Daniel_]

Welcome Paul,

Aaah yes, the blobsquatch...

It would be interesting for the non believers to see the before photo of this without the strolling yowie.

Surely there was more than 2 photos in this sequence... i'd like to see the rest of the collection...
Some comparison pics would go a very long way in this particular case.... not saying the photo is not interesting or exciting, just that it is very inconclusive

[Yeti]

Yowielover1,
I'll post the pics here of the original eyeshine and the lightened version showing the nostrils etc.
But I'd like to make it clear as I stated earlier neither Neil Frost or Dean Harrison captured these pictures. I'd like to know where that version of the story come from, anyone have any idea.
The pictures posted here are out of order the 2nd being the original.
The scenario was I hung a large sweet potato from a tree limb, the potato can be seen to the right of the eyeshine. The height from the ground was 5'6'' (165cm)

You have stated Neil Frost took these eyeshine pictures, what a joke. The only eyeshine pictures he has is a possum in a tree. LOL

[Yowielover1]

I dont know where MBW got his ideas but I can tell you I think i read it from a post where someone other than Dean or Neil Frost made the statement that Dean had taken the picture. I had even saved it with the title "Deans Pic" as was indicated where i had read it.

I have been trying to find the post but I can't sorry.

What sort of camera were you using? Is it a flash trail cam with an IR sensor? How many MP's is the photo?

Its a pitty it wasn't a little closer to the sweet potato.

Thanks for posting it.

[Yeti]

The camera was a wildview 2mp, its one of the cheaper cameras that I have its a shame the flash wasn't a little brighter.

[Yowielover1]

Its all a learning curve. We did learn a lot with all the gear on the last trip out. It was good we did not have a closer enounter because with these lessons learned we are able to do a better job when the time counts.

[Yeti]

What location were you at on your last trip.

[Yowielover1]

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1403

Thats the report on the last location. We have another 3 hotspots and one warm one to check into so before we go out next the group will have to reach a consensus on which one is the most promising.

You say that like you think your someone important.

That does sound a bit like that but the truth of the matter is I got side tracked and was going to continue that sentence with , I am the guy with the eyeshine and yowie pictures.
I didn't mean to come across like that.
I'm just your average Joe with alot of evidence, thats all

Hi Paul,

Yes I am aware who you are. Would prefer you used your real name, however that is only my opinion, and for some reason not many people seem to be honest and transparent for some strange reason. "Tags" mean little and often create suspicion, which is why we are one of the first Boards that uses our REAL pictures. Perhaps a first.

Right now, I'm a little disappointed about some of the recent posts from contributors on this Forum, therefore I prefer to step away and let people sort their issues out themselves. I don't enjoy Politics...... Especially if I know all parties involved. By gosh, if only these people met each other, it would be a far different story.

We've had it good for a long time compared to other boards.

Everyone’s opinions are valued. If there is a debate, why get personal? Keep all things equal, and leave emotions out of the equation.

Not everyone has the same point of view. Not everyone has the same experience in the field.

By all means – discuss it. But please don’t throw stones and use words that can be considered personal attacks.

Dean,

If you think I have attacked someone personally please say so, if you think my remark about Neil Frosts possum pictures was a personal attack, so be it.
I tell the facts as they are I don't fabricate stories or evidence.

...hear... hear to that... never a truer word said Dean... been there done that... unfortunately on a thread that I started... (Nazi UFO'S) ... a... "discussion" ... between myself and somebody else within these Forums got totally out of control at a couple of stages ... we were both immersed on a mission to have the last word of the arguement... I took a couple of things that were said personally ... whether I was right or wrong to do that doesn't matter now... but I arked up and struck back at that individual... we then fought head to head about it for ages ...I believe that all we did at the end of it... (it went on for quite a while)... was to show our total equal pig-headedness??? ...(is that a word)?... and neither of us wanted to back down...

...at one stage I have re-read that post quite a few months after the event... it kind of reminds me of the famous ... "Who's on First... What's on second" ... sketch between Abbott and Costello ... we both believe in what we are saying... but each of us saw it from different viewpoints... but in the end... he had his say and I had mine... no matter how angry I got with him... I figured that if I met him and got talking to him while having a quiet drink in a pub and didn't know who he was... we probably would've got on reasonably well! ... (I believe that I actually mentioned this on the post itself)...

... so when Dean said...

By gosh, if only these people met each other, it would be a far different story.

... as I said above... "never a truer word said" ... cheers... Stickyfingers.
