Its an interesting point you make Cornish Family. While we have many sighting reports where the creatures are seen in the distance without any further interaction we also have a large number of reports that describe aggressive behaviour when there is closer contact. We dont know whay this occurs, it could be a territorial reaction in relation to its feeding grounds, it could be a reaction to protecting its own kind/family. No one really knows but its safe to say that many close encounters do have aggressive behaviour and should be avoided, particularly if alone.

@@Yowie-Sightings Or there might be nasty ones and peaceful ones just by nature .

Yowie came close to my camp the other night. It exhaled this huge burst of air which sounded like a cattle beast just from the sound . That's it. Just a big loud exhale from 25 ft away. My torch was no good and I think that's why it came so close. Was near Georges lake in Tassie. There's no way it was a cow cause the terrain was too rough. No adult would do that.

Your missing people are not yowie related. The hunter went into the yowie domain. Yowie/sasquatch etc know your emotions long before you saw them. These confrontations happen because people are ignorant/scared and stupid, big ego hunters need to stay out of the Bush until they learn it.

Good point Brad!! :)

Scare or wary

LOL, Yes, very scared. And they never get run over by trucks either.....

@@adelarsen9776 Because they are not just dumb monkeys, unlike those who base existence around their go pro and i phone.

Check out Australian Yowie hunters they have thermal camera footage. It's the best .

Thanks for the comment The Wild. It was a life or death situation.

So do they get used to the idea.

Can "YOU" Elaborate?

What else do you expect the guy to have done? I don't think anyone else can comment unless they have met one of these things face to face. It seems sheer terror is a common reaction, so much to the point of losing all bladder control. So I don't think anyone can judge.

@@MrGutfeeling well he could have addressed the yowie in nongender specific terms so as not to assume socially constructed stereotypes as to all yowies being male purely by patriarchal projection of rape fantasy domination. More seriously, the bowhunter needs something more leathal and easier to weild. A good calibre sidearm might ensure that he could not leave an injured animal to suffer. I almost came face to face with what I now think to be an old sickly yowie near the water treatment works at Mt. Crosby when I was homeless, living in my car. It had tried to warn me off another spot nearby by pissing all over a council picnic shelter. Grew up on property and killed a few things, never smelled anything like that territory marker scent - never!!

@@ix-Xafra it is sad that we can not carry a side arm here in Australia .

@@ix-Xafra your first paragraph is so ridiculous and untrue its actually difficult to rebut. Are you being sarcastic? Do you really think gender is a social construct derived from a "rape fantasy domination" mindset? People can identify however they like to, but comments like this are polarising and frankly you yourself are promoting a radicalised perception of reality. You are inflating and isolating characteristics of certain individuals and speaking Asif, it is the foundation upon which the existence of gender - and use of language is defined. I never hear people calling out people who identify as female for things like this. He assumed it was a male, most likely from its build and cadence, assuming he grew up on planet earth, he probably subconsciously identified an unknown creature with gender due to a few things. Its physical build (8ft, large muscular build, its demeanour, aggressive, far far more stereotypical in men than women.) All historically masculine traits. At what point do you think a (implied) male, domination rape fantasy played into his intrinsic survival instinct of identifying if what he saw was a threat (male) or not. Because that (or possible mating opportunity), is the only reason for gender identification in a fight or flight situation. Logically your lizard brain is going to take priority over some learned patriarchal behaviour in said situation.

@@Aeoniik rofl. You want me to take you seriously when you cannot even spot tongue-in-cheek satire. It's a pisstake on the woke narrative and actually makes more literal sense than the rabid tirade you've attempted to scold me with. Stay in uni with all the the other soyboys who spend their day making assumptions and getting triggered and let us grownups wipe your arse, boy... Ps. I think you meant 'conflating' not 'inflating' - you have an inflated sense of intellect and superiority. Reread your verbose rant when you're sober!

Thanks for the comment SadChimp. We always ask the witnesses to put as much detail in their description of what happened as possible but we dont coach them as we want their interpretation of what they saw not what we want to hear and sometimes some of the details they think are relevant or interesting may not be to readers or viewers. In our conversations with Clint he did tell us about the size of the Yowie and estimated it to be "about 4ft wide at its shoulders" and "about 9ft tall once its was fully upright". Cheers, Susan

@@Yowie-Sightings Thanks Susan 🙂

I thought the bit about the 2nd arrow shot just missing the Yowie was so over-the-top. Gold logie award for that tad bit extra information. Anyone claiming to have scored Yowie DNA yet? Since it was hit by an arrow in the right shoulder, could have been a chance to scoop up some fresh Yowie blood. Later on; after he changed his pants. I wonder where the broken arrow got to? Maybe the Yowie took that home as a souvenir? This one just had too many beers that night but I'm sure his story does the rounds at the local pub; just to keep the tourist for another beer.

@@GenXOriginal1972 A scientist in the U.S. did a 5 year study on them and got good dna samples. The mitocondrial dna came back as homo sapien and the nuclear dna came back as unknown homonid. Its was Dr Melba Ketchum.

@@fredlemon4881 Thank you for the information. That sounds very intriguing.

Yes mate, one day with technology we maybe able to strap some type of photographic device to our heads & 'capture" all we imagine.

@@baabaabaa2293 Maybe he was not thinking about making videos for his mates when headed out.

Thanks Namarca :)

Just as a interest… why can’t they be real? Why is it not possible for Yowies to be real? What is it that makes people think that this is a fairytale?

Have you had an experience??

But you believe in Covid 😂🤣😂

@@aaront8396 whats the coof got to do with it ?

Spend some time in the bush alone lol bet you’ll change your mind

Hi Me M.O.B. We have a few reports from Tassie but not solid encounters we could verify. Thanks for your interest! :)

Na shot them all out coz they killed sheep

Hi Ian and thanks for the comment. You make a very good point. We did look for blood samples when we researched the site but didn't find anything, possibly due to the time between when the encounter happened and when we got out there. There is quite a bit of effort going into voluntary researching these creatures but to date all any of us have is very good trace evidence. We are continuing the effort to get better information about the Yowie and are very appreciative of the people that come forward to share their experiences with us.

Hi Philip, thanks for the comment. There is no absolute proof that the Yowie has taken, killed or eaten people but there is anecdotal evidence through indigenous stories of them taking women and children. There are also witness reports of aggressive behaviour such as bluff charging, stalking etc. While they don't seem to be intent on humans as prey we strongly advise people that encounter the Yowie to move away from the area in a controlled deliberate fashion and not run as this seems to trigger a chase response.

@@Yowie-Sightings "chase response" ???? They run after people? Some Aboriginals say they won't bother you if you don't bother them... whatever exactly that means... others say good ones will avoid you but bad ones will eat you... the usual semi comprehensible smattering of opinion... what stops them from overpowering, killing, eating etc a lone unarmed person camping out in the bush? Fear of discovery and retaliation? No other animal species has glowing eyes let alone the other otherworldly aspects often ascribed to them .. perhaps anything's possible... reports of people talking to them both civilians and military type personnel... hope I don't get bothered while out camping in areas where sightings plotted and missing persons disappeared

We didnt find the snapped arrow but we did find the flectching of an arrow at the site and we retrieved the guys binoculars. Interestingly we found several pig carcasses as we searched through the bush for several hours and two of them looked as if they had been torn apart with the legs torn clean out of the sockets. We are doing more surveillance in this area soon.

@@Yowie-Sightings was thinking if you had that you could if sent off for DNA analysis

@@4x4andfishing we could have definitely done this but unfortunately, our guide found it first and had handled it which meant it had contaminated dna if there did happen to be any from the yowie present. A good lesson for others that may find Yowie evidence. Samples need to be handled with sterile gloves and stored in sterile containers or envelopes. In fact, anything used to move a sample must be sterile and even breathing on a sample can contaminate a sample. There have been cases in America where claims have been made that Bigfoot dna has been found giving certain conclusions about the origins of the creatures only to find the samples had been accidentally contaminated with human dna. Thanks for the comments!!

Hi Terence, yes we have spoken to him and visited the location. It's not the first encounter we have from this area.

@@Yowie-Sightings - thank you! He was very lucky!

@@terrenceodgers5866 Absolutely, and thanks for your interest.

But Yowies are good eating mate 🤔

@@dasmuss6174 im not you mate.

Unfortunately there is a minority in the hunting community that are unethical and behave poorly. All they want to do is get pissed and shoot shit. However please don’t paint all hunters with the same brush. 95% of hunters try and do the right thing, and youl find most of them don’t like the foolish minority either.

I guess you prefer a Coles sticker on your meat

You dont jave too i like 2 catch my own food go to safeway basic fool

It's hard not to feel sorry for the creature but I think the outcome for guy would have been very different if he didn't shoot it.

If you were being charged by an angry, aggressive wild animal which is twice your size and speed what would be your reaction? I'm at a bit of a loss trying to understand your reasoning? I'd defend myself with anything I can get my hands on!

Your comment is baffling, it shows how out of touch you are with reality.. the hunter didn’t instigate it.

So if he stands there and gets torn apart he's a good person ? Get a grip

He hunts pigs with a bow and arrow and he let an arrow fly as the Yowie was running away. Nope, hes an Ahole.
