As Bipto once said..how the heck do they do a story like that and not post pictures!!!!!

I thought it was interesting for the obvious reasons, maybe there will be some pictures eventually somewhere...

Sorry fellas, one has to use the pics in ones head!

Cool article! I've seen these and they look just like you would think....a limb is made into a loop (like a noose)...the tree is very flexible and it will stay in the position until de-looped! It does not look like the trees that have been "reportedly" twisted or broken by sasquatches.

As far as I know, Native Americans did not utilize trees in this manner here in the western United States. The closest I can come to are "bow" trees. Bow Trees are junipers that are notched at the bottom and the top of a three foot strip...the strip cures on the tree for a year and the NA come back the next year, peel it off, and create bows out of them. I've only heard of this method being used where junipers grow.
