I DID RESEARCH for about 20 years after being ran off a timber boundary in 1991 by three of these creatures in mcdowell county on land that I inherited next to the national forest..Since that time I placed food out using infrared cameras only to get hairy blurrs and find my equipment torn and in shambles on the ground or missing all together, I got pictures of moving orbs a lot of them but over time I found that when I took food on the mountain the best time to try and get a picture was when I was taking food into the area...I found some peaking behind trees, sometimes beating the hell out of trees...I had a large male I assume it was a male just rip the forest up every time I would go to feed one day I saw him on and old logging road he was as big as a horse and it scarred the s**t out of me his size was unbeleivable....My book has some pictures and ive recored all of my activities in the journal..I went hiking one day with dog feeding pans left in the front yard and came back in a hurry and beside my dog feeding pan was a baby the mother had left it why is still a MYSTERY, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE FOREST AND IT RESEMBLED A MONKEY ALMOST CHIMPANZIZE LIKE BUT LARGER, I LEFT IT BUT AS FAR AS i KNOW SHE NEVER RETURNED FOR IT AND I FOUND THE REMAINS 2 WEEKS LATER i SENT THE SKULL ONE YEAR AGO TODAY TO DNA RESEARCH LAB IN TEXAS AND AS OF THIS DATE NO REAL INFORMATION ONLY THEY CANT TRACE DNA STRAINDS TO ANY KNOWN..THIS IS STILL NOTHING i HAVE RAISED HELL WITH STAFF LAST WEEK TRYING TO GET THEM TO FINISH, DONT REALLY KNOW WHY THEY ARE JERKING ME AROUND MAYBE THE GOVERNMENT WONT LET THEM RELEASE BUT I HOPE THIS IS NOT THE CASE BUT I AM STILL TRYING TO GET THEM TO FINISH...If anyone is interested in my book you can by at amazon.com natures secret agents isbn 97816074379 or you can get at powells e books for 7.95 and its available for order at barnes and nobles....
again me trying to figure out why mother had left baby sometimes male chimps and apes alike will kill infants so the female will go back into heat she could have left it for fear for the infant..I should have kept it I had my chance and yes I should have photographed it but hindsight is 20 20...................
