Yowiehunters Forum

i just wanted to see if anyone has heared of anybody disapearing or a violent encounter i just find the whole thing wiered are they herbivores or carnivores?

hey mate, im pretty new to this but iv heard of a man that got killed in the blue mountains. Coronor described the killer to be very strong human or animal which makes sense coz the guy got decapitated. I may be wrong about this so anyone who knows more on this topic, please feel free to correct me.
If this was a yowies work im a little freaked out because its the same area (might be the same valley) that tommo and myself go looking for snakes in.
cyas,

a lot of people walk into the bush and are never seen again
yowies are seen in evey part of this country but so are snakes,dingos. i think that if you back it into a corner you are not going to be walking out of there. i think that we are safe from the hairy one.
i live 17 years in mt isa never seen a yowie out there just one ufo .
use to go camping at gregory river n/w of mt isa one night we left camp to go into town we got to main track so we pull over to make a sign to show were our camp was.
the driver got out of the 4wd walk around my side just as he bend over to pick up some sticks something scream at him from the bush .
i hear it running away from us on two feet and it was smashing though the top of the trees .
buy the time i had the gun out the window the driver had the truck running and we was gone.
the ground out there is flat the trees are about 10 foot high.
back then i did not know about yowies.
so it anybody guess what we hear that night but i can tell you this i never went back there camping.

There is a story. Perhaps it was just a poem. An old one. Be over a hundred years old by now. Yeah. I think it was an 18th century bit of fluff.

Describes a farmer discovering the head of his prize bull lying in a paddock. The body was found in the same field I think. Will see if I can find references to it on the internet if anyone is interested. Perhaps its been raised here before. I'll check quickly before posting this. The black fellows knew what had done it. My ancestors I suppose, some of them. Jackaroo's getting paid sugar and tobacco. Only they didn't whisper 'Yowie'. It was a different name they gave in reply.

I'll ask some relatives about it. My great grandmother told me the poem years ago. I've forgotten it.

Was glad to see the story of the great battle written about on the site. I've heard many versions of that one.

Supposedly a couple of people have had their head ripped of their bodies. No twisted or cut off but pulled off. I got flack about it when I drew a silly cartoon about Yowies using human heads to bowl with in the woods. The cartoon was twisted but the actual events were supposed to have happened. Dean might be able to elabarate on this subject.

I was told by a Native American in New Mexico when we were visiting that a couple living in a small house back in the woods were calling the police complaining about things being stolen around their house. The police didn't hear from them for a few days. They decided to go out to see them only to find them dead with their heads PULLED off on their porch and the inside of the house partly destroyed.

The man did have a rifle and a few shots were fired from outside.

The Native American called Bigfoot an evil spirit.

Should we consider the mountain man or bigfoot as being the same thing? Species can change dramatically from one part of a continent to another. Unless Yowies can swim the Pacific or Indian oceans I doubt it mixes with American Sasquatch's or Euro Yeti's. To have been here prior to the aborigines I wouldn't be surprised to learn it must have arrived here atleast 100,000 years ago. They keep pushing that date back at the universities. Hominids on different continents could have completely different diets. They may have even diverged into different species that compete. Which would explain the low population despite no apparent predators.

Tasmanian Devils are solitary but still manage to increase their population when not under threat from human culling.
