College Basketball Star Jahlil Okafor Is Into Bigfoot!
Jahlil Okafor is probably the best college basketball player in the Nation. But when the Duke Blue Devil isn't focused on hoops, he's into bigfoot and other strange phenomenon.
Okafor is obsessed with Netflix. He keeps a teenager’s diet of action movies and soapy television series, but his secret soft spot is for documentaries about odd phenomena—the weirder, the better. Okafor is well-versed in the legend of Bigfoot, for example. He also likes mermaids.
“That’s always been my interest,” Okafor said. “Things of the unknown.”
What he likes to do instead—when he’s not playing basketball, of course—is watch television by himself. He has a taste for the mythical. Okafor has tipped multiple people off to a Discovery Channel special that promised new evidence that mermaids are real.
“I tried to tell them,” he said. “They wouldn’t listen.”
He was doing this in high school, too. Okafor once raved to his coach about a Bigfoot documentary he had just devoured. “He tried to get me to watch that,” said Tyrone Slaughter. “I was like: I’m not watching that.”

ReplyDeleteI'd concentrate more on getting past teams like Mercer in the 1st round.
ReplyDeleteWent on my first BF hunt, with EXPERTS. Took my dogs, treed 3 coons and 1 bobcat. I heard a lot of "Did you hear that?" and finally was alerted to a small but noisy pack of coywolves, they were mistaken for a BF until I took out my YOTY call and got the big dog to show his self enough for me to smoke him. Two of the guides thought he was a BF until we actually retrieved him. They were super nice fun people that loved my dogs. I will probably try another trip with them for the sheer enjoyment and great debate. BF hunters are serious but fun folks to be around, even for a skeptic like me. HG
ReplyDeleteCool HG
DeleteGo straight to the deepest darkest part of the woods you can find. Look for stick stuctures. Photograph and video everything you find that may be something. And please share it with all

Hunter Guy - I think you may have stated your opinion before but please reiterate on the subject of trained dogs. There are some here who believe that dogs will retreat from a creature they refer to as bigfoot. I agree that an untrained dog might do just that however I believe a TRAINED dog used for trailing would be a different story. I see no reason why dogs could not be used to trail such a creature. If it stinks as bad as they say it shouldn't be hard. Your thoughts?
DeleteI don't know who your experts are, but the vast majority would tell you no-way. The only way a Dog doesn't rattle a Bigfoot is if the Bigfoot already knows the dog such as in a habituation situation. So if some so-called experts let you take your dogs to a search area where the Bigfoots didn't know them, one of two things would happen. 1. You would not see a bigfoot, no-way, long gone. 2. Your dogs would get shredded!
DeleteSo my gut tells me your lying! Or give up the names of your experts so we will know who is not too bright!
Also HG
DeleteIf you were a BF looking out for family you probably would retreat from a guy with hunting dogs and gun. These creatures are so rare and elusive you need to give yourself every chance. But that's just my opinion. Hunters do make up a big group of people with encounters. On The FBF show two guys from my neck of the woods told about a deer they just shot being scooped up by a BF and taken away. Just keep up the effort

I see no reason why dogs could not be used to trail ANY animal or human - especially in the terrain we have here in North America.

Buy the way, I used to raise Grey Ghosts and German SH, The Wiems are the most fearless of any breed, bread specifically to hunt Bear, but get a good one and they do it all. Track, point, retrieve wet or dry and tree no problem.
DeleteBut Animals KNOW when there is something they shouldn't F''' with such as a Rattler. I have read a ton of stories, only heard a few where a dog went in on a Squatch, they bail 100% of the time. In more cases around a home, their taken as a meal or ripped apart, probably to shut off the Alarm System------------------
You didn't really try to put your dogs on them did you. Bad Idea.
My dogs will not retreat from fear, because dogs trained to work within their natural instinct are without emotional connection until the job is finished. Dogs face Bullets, some even attack a weapon on sight, even being fired. Their emotion is to please their master. I once had 2 dogs corner a large Black bear under a cliff row. One dog had his spinal cord severed but was alive crawling and attacking the bear as we got there. He died growling and biting the dead bears leg. My dogs are no different or more vicious than any others. Only man can distinguish the difference in degree of danger and fear accordingly. If a dog doesn't fear death from, a bear, lion or bullet, why would he fear death from a BF? Death is death, Right? A dog that fear BF fears many things. My new found friends NOW absolutely agree that what I cast them on had better stop running or learn to fly. Many other people own dogs of the same caliber and commitment. Also To MMC, I had a freakin blast with those folks. They had some cool stories too. They are going to call me when they have a fresh sighting or get some new videos on trail cams. I'm going to video the entire hunt next time if possible, if good I'll post it somewhere for sure. HG.
DeleteThe other problem your going to have, they can go up stuff the dogs can't or won't and the Squatches are WAY faster, but hey good luck.
DeleteI really hope you get something. I don't even think the thing is Biological as we understand it. Let me know if your dogs get it cornered and then you can't find it?
My money is on the dog (unless it fades into another dimension).

Leon thinks that bigfoot is the spawn of man and a fallen angel, FYI.
DeleteThat excuse doesn't pan out, TK. Everywhere, all the time, every instance...bf has a place to go that a pack of dogs can't.
Butt out squirel nuts.
DeleteThere are many reports of dogs cowering to them, even regular tracking dogs refusing to go forward. It could have something to do with infrasound. Some dogs that have been misfortunate enough to go up to them have been ripped apart.
DeleteHmmmmmm,I'm really surprised they did not say: shhhhhhhhh,quiet!!! did ya hear that, well maybe next time,they are just warming you up probably...........
DeleteOr it could do with making things up.
DeleteWho knows.
As a somewhat recognized breeder trainer of 12 breeds of notable desired big game dogs with 27 good successful years behind me, and well over 60 professional bear guides as personal and professional relationships, The PLOT hound !ST, Large BLACK AND TAN 2ND, AD TERRIER 3RD, along with a variety of BULL DOG mixes. I have an updated list of the 10 most notable bear guides in North America and their dogs, you won't find one bird dog there. The same holds true for most all dangerous big game. Yes you do put the trail hounds after any dangerous game, they track and bay, not attack unless trained to do so. Most use bulldog mixes to then attack and hold. Don't trust me, Call Full Cry Mag and they will send you any info on dogs used for particular jobs, Best guides, and Breeder, and trainers. I raised german shepherds and trained them until 2006. They are very versatile and loyal. My personal attack dog is a half bull mastiff one quarter Black and tan, one quarter plot. His 185 pound body only goes one way, he's scared, but he always comes home at the end. My statement is meant with much respect. HG
ReplyDeleteI am convinced trained tracking dogs could end this mystery (if real) Hunter Guy but I have one more question. Hypothetically if a bigfoot was in an area and the dogs were immediately available could they trail a bigfoot never having smelled that scent before? Or do they have to be trained to go after a certain scent? What would the procedure be to get them to track after a so-called bigfoot?
DeleteGood question, and Yes, they would need trained to know what a Bigfoot smelled like, at an early age. Dogs are petrified of coyotes. Any dog will not face a coyote unless it's trained. What a lot of people don't know is how the coyote is actually killed. Teams of fresh dogs are used to run the coyote to exhaustion, sometimes for as many as 8 hours. The guys use their GPS devices to watch the location of the dogs, then drive their trucks to the closest location and drop fresh dogs. If they see the coyote run across the road or across a field, they will try to cripple it with a shot to the hip. This is done so that the dogs can now catch the crippled coyote. The "Kill dogs" are released on the coyote and the helpless crippled coyote is torn apart as the hunters encourage their dogs to kill their cousin
DeleteYes, absolutely. My trip the other night consisted of me casting the dogs on the game desired. First a coon then another, then a bobcat, then another coon. Show me a track less than 10 hours old, and the trail will be hot in less than an hour. Hot as in dogs at full throttle speed. BF can't get away unless he can vanish or fly. A good friend put his dog on a large lion in Canada on wed, the cat kept treeing and jumping out. He picked the dog up on Sun still running the cat. The GPS showed the hound had covered 213 miles in various circles. A well trained dog stops at the end of the trail, ONLY. If it climbs they tree it until you get there, if it goes in a cave or hole they bay it till you arrive. The Dog stories are what makes me more skeptical than anything else. More than my not seeing a sign in over 40 plus years. The dog theory doesn't fly. Ask anyone with real trained dogs. I might miss something, my hounds don't period. Show me a fresh track, I'll show you how fast and far it will run. I'll put cash up that my dogs won't run or quit till the end, and I love to bet on dogs. HG
Delete^^^ That would be the harsh way to do it, and they way to get a Bigfoot, if that was your route. But In addition to that, the traditional way to train a dog to coyote hunt, is to make sure the dog must know how to return every time it spots or smells a coyote. Why? Because this will let the hunter know that a coyote is in that area or even draw a coyote back into your rifle sight, and keep your dog safe. When a dog makes eye contact with a coyote, it's trained to return to it's owner.
DeleteIn the BF movie I posted a link to, they rented a trained German Sheppard, and took it in the woods. They kept finding skinned rabbits, stung up in the trees, and the dog, would hunker down and whimper, around the skinned rabbits, and they were hanging 10-15 feet up in the trees. The dog would freeze!
DeleteSo I am thinking that in a case of habituation such as Mike Brookreson is claiming that if dogs were available they could track down a bigfoot (or whatever was eating those tangerines) and make himself a millionaire.
DeleteI'm beginning to think that the bigfoot advocates don't want it found with all the excuses they make.
DS, with much respect, All hounds have a natural instinct to return to the place they are dropped. If a track animal is killed, or lost to the point of no retrieval, Dogs that have any intelligence will trail themselves to where they started. Good dogs will stay there until the owner returns. If we leave without our dogs, we leave them a coat with our scent to lie on till we return. I've lost 3 dogs out of 750 owned, it's the commonly used method. Coyotes run like foxes, only make a larger circle, so the dog with pass it's starting point over and over. The speed of the dog is the only variable in the race, the dog follows and can only control the speed of any race. Game that is chased faster generally goes quicker to the den or make larger circles. Dogs used for one particular game are trained at a early age that any other is wrong. Cast dogs are trained to run all scent. The master cast the dog on a particular trail, then the hound keys on that scent only. Again, many other professional trainers will tell you this is correct, so ask around for a second opinion. Respectfully HG.

DeleteWell That's a first for me, A RENTED trained dog. I sell and Mine go for $10g's To $17g's. I guess I would rent one for the deed to their home dept free, and an insurance policy from LLoyd's of London. I bet those rental dogs are real winners since the master will allow anyone with a few bucks to take his well bred well trained months of hard work and expense away with the hope they will return it in good condition. I don't even allow someone to go to my kennel without me. Yea I'm truly a skeptic. HG
DeleteWatch the movie
DeleteBigfoot would change basketball forever
ReplyDeleteFirst of all the hoop height, well it's gonna be up there. Jump ball is all theirs. The post up is gonna kill. The free throw will be the free drop and the MJ two step will start at center court. The zone will be all they need because one on one will be a death wish
