It was short and it didn't cover much but coast to coast is giving away free downloads of previous interview's. I suggest, getting my last interview with Art on April 7th of this year.
And incase you didn't catch it, i will be back for a full show in the next couple of weeks.
Most importantly i have some questions for bugs and hope i can find a way to get new info out of him.

Todd or anyone, I am trying to find the story you are referring to about “Bugs” incident, but I have had no luck, only brief statements that really make no sense. Can you ether point me in the right direction as to where to find info, or can you please tell the story here. I am a regular listener to C2C, but unfortunately I was not listening on the nights you were on. I will be checking back regularly at this forum and your website for info on a future full interview you stated on an upcoming C2C.
Keep up the fight for our Big Guy, and just to let you know I am from South West Alberta Canada and I am 38 years old and have spent most of my life in the bush, and I had my own encounter with our big friend one winter evening, so I know with out a doubt that they DO EXIST!!!!!
I have one more question that bothers me, If you have undeniable evidence that BF does exist and you state that you will not divulge your evidence until protection has been granted, why not show your evidence to the people and the world who can grant protection for these species???
Again, keep up the fight!!!! Todd, I am an experienced outdoors man, and live close to what I think is your research area. I would be willing to help out any way I could in your research, so if you do need another helping hand please contact me. I am a stay at home Dad with lots of time on his hands.
Cheers!!!
Jason

I also agree... Showing the evidence first would help you reach your goal much faster...
I am not a scientist, but I can guarantee that if you showed your evidence to the scientific community, or have it mysteriously leaked to the media, and if it is as legit as you say it is, I will say without a doubt you will have all the funding you need from say organizations like National Geographic, etc. They, and other organizations like this, will pay big bucks to be the first with your help to present this creature to the world. You will have all the “Research” dollars and equipment you can handle. Just a thought.

Todd or anyone, I am trying to find the story you are referring to about “Bugs” incident, but I have had no luck, only brief statements that really make no sense. Can you ether point me in the right direction as to where to find info, or can you please tell the story here. I am a regular listener to C2C, but unfortunately I was not listening on the nights you were on. I will be checking back regularly at this forum and your website for info on a future full interview you stated on an upcoming C2C. The story as it was related by Bugs on the April 8th, Coast 2 Coast show goes as such: Bugs, recently returned from the Vietnam war ( which places the incident mid 1970's somewhere around 1974 from my estimation though it may be a year earlier/later) was out night hunting with two friends. Though this may sound slightly odd, this actually is a very common occurrence in the Southern US as some hunters found it easier to bag certain prey at night. During the night in question the group happened upon a clearing with tall grass and spotted what they believed was a bear in the far distance. Looking at the animal through their rifle scopes they were able to make our the size of the creature (which they all agreed was massive) and the fur that covered its entire form. Believing it was a bear they carefully maneuvered themselves into position and fired upon the animal. Bugs struck the animal mid-drift at which time the creature stood and it was at this moment that they realized that it had been hunched over. Wounded it bolted towards the treeline. Bugs took a moment to explain that he and his friends didn't immediately follow their wounded prey, shocked by what they had seen and by potentially what they had done. Fearing that they had shot a man by accident the group tracked the creature through the grass then the undergrowth to a makeshift habitation, ( a shelter that was made from treefall and the like along a hillside). Hearing moans from inside, and still fearing that he had wounded a man by mistake, Bugs entered the shelter. Inside he was immediately confronted by the sight of the massive male he had shot, (who was now visibly dead), and a smaller female that was cradling the wounded male. Upon seeing Bugs, the female charged him. Bugs, just back from the war, reacted as trained and fired his rifle fatally striking the female through the chest. As Bugs described, he and his friends examined the two bodies afterward; the creatures were larger than any male or female they had ever seen, were covered head to foot in thick fur and possessed all the anatomical features of their respective genders. The divergence was the oversized extremities such as their hands and feet which were to be even larger than normal compared to their frame. Terrified he had just killed two people, ( circus folk or backwoods people as he said) they made the decision to bury the bodies near a river bank. That in a nutshell is the story as described by Bugs that night to Todd. I have one more question that bothers me, If you have undeniable evidence that BF does exist and you state that you will not divulge your evidence until protection has been granted, why not show your evidence to the people and the world who can grant protection for these species??? To address your concern in regards to this issue Jason the truth is Todd is showcasing all his evidence. Some of it is available through the website ( all his background research/chronicles that he culled through the first year(s) of his exploration) as well as a ton of video evidence. Certain pieces of evidence and information have not been showcased on the website but never-the-less has been made public through the various tour showings of the documentary "The Origins Of Sylvanic" which we are currently expanding upon. These pieces of important information are being used to gather support and signatures for the petition, which is of the utmost importance to what Todd is doing, and as such are exclusive to the public showings. So as to not confuse the situation, to date all proceeds from the various showings have gone to the local Humane Society as profit has never been his primary goal. Hope this address all your questions, and thank you for your interest and support. |

I can't understand why Bugs and his pals (who and where are they?) wouldn't have taken something with them, even a hair sample, to prove this had happened. I think the whole Bugs story is suspect and I wouldn't let it distract you from your work. It could potentially do you more harm than good.

Your probably right but i do have to take a serious look at every possibility just in case. Remember if he is telling the truth he could save me years of work. |

The Bugs story is too suspicious to me, too, Todd.
I want to believe you, Todd—more than anything, and I do believe there is something out there we can’t explain, but you really need to get going on saving these creatures. These creatures are not stupid. That’s why they’ve lived for so many years. What I can’t stand is people faking it. My fascination with BF runs deep. I want to believe he exists.
One troubling thing: I hate blurred video. And I’m not the only one. Every time someone catches BF on camera their video is so blurred you can hardly see what’s happening. I will say I’m pleased you’re not charging to watch the footage. Thank you for that. I’ve enjoyed watching each and every one of them.
If I ever encounter BF, I disagree is calling History Channel and Wild Kingdom. The site you were on didn’t help your case, Todd. You want to make an impact? Contact History Channel and Wild Kingdom.
Anyway, good luck to you and I hope you can save these creatures.

One troubling thing: I hate blurred video. And I’m not the only one. Every time someone catches BF on camera their video is so blurred you can hardly see what’s happening. The one thing we are all agreed on here is that the next time we head out we are shooting ONLY with HD to ensure that the image is true 1080i, and with proper prime lenses so there is NO doubt in the validity of the image being presented. This will also ensure that we are able to digitally zoom into the image as close as possible, ( or as I have put in the past: "have the ability to see the sweat glistening on the fur"). So please stay tuned for our next footage, which I assure you, will NOT be the same old blurry images that are the unfortunate norm in the field. |

I would suggest being careful with digital zoom, on both video and photography cameras. I went to school for video production and have work extensively with all types of camera and it's pretty much agreed upon by everyone I know in the field that digital zoom can distort and actually change the image some. It also lowers the quality of the picture. If you're trying to catch the best, undisputed picture as possible, I would suggest getting a telephoto lens over digital zoom. There's less room for error.
