I want to deviate from my last post a bit as I know some of you may be anxiously waiting for what is on the other end of the continuation of our story. Or not. Maybe some of you have an idea already as to what I keep dragging out in long winded tales of what is beyond any reasoning of the unknown. I have to say that I have a new found respect for all those involved with Sasquatch research and I too am anxiously awaiting to see what happens this next summer.
I have been planning out our garden on paper and getting seed packets ready as I usually start seedlings inside mid Feb/early March, and I was reminded of a curiosity that I had neglected to mention or even jot down. At the time I thought little of its significance, but the more I think about it, the more I am drawn to it.
We have a manure pile near our garden, actually if you go to the post http://saskencounters.blogspot.com/2009/02/can-you-see-me-now.html
that has our picture of what we conclude to be a jeuvenile Sasquatch laying posterior on its front, behind him is where we have a manure pile.( you can't see it) But just to give you an idea. Although it doesn't show as a dirt mount, it has since been grown in with weeds and wild grasses.
I was getting some dirt from this pile last summer and I was trying to dig in an area that did not have so many ants. I began digging closer to the middle of the pile and I happened to dig up a chicken breast that I had put out at the bait site. I can't tell you when I had done this, because when I had found it, I had stopped putting food out for the creature all together. Chicken is very expensive and for me, it is what I eat. I do not eat read meat if I can help it. With my husband being off work due to the economic crisis, we have had to seriously curb our spending, and Sasquatch research has been one of our sacrifices.
This bagged chicken was not recent, it couldn't have been, but it was about five feet into the pile, and about three feet down, and perfectly preserved! The manuer pile was full of ants, and I honestly couldn't find a spot without a colony. This chicken was untouched! It looked stale but surprisingly not moldy or rotten!
I know that my dogs did not put this there because they have been on their dog runs all summer because they wander off and chase the neighboring cows. Honestly we have acres and acres of land, and these dogs still wander off. Go figure.
Anyway, It had me thinking. It is quite possible that a coyote or bear would have done this, but the baggie did not have any holes in it, and the chicken did not have any marks in it. The dirt mound was only disturbed where I had put the shovel into it. I did not see any coyote tracks, bear tracks or anything out of the ordinary to show that a wild animal would have buried this little morsel.
This leaves me to question, does Sasquatch bury it's food to save for later? If it does, then maybe that would be an area to research. Research has shown that at the very least Sasquatch does dig a hole and store some sort of food such as corn and berries in the hole that it has dug. Whether it covers it up, that I am uncertain about.
The interesting aspect is, why didn't it come back to retrieve this morsel? Did it forget? Was this instinct? Did it do this out of necessity or was it again something for me to find?
Whatever it is, leave nothing to chance, and never give in to speculation. All information however big or small is worthy of noting it down and saving for later.
