It's too bad that this clip has that horrible reddish color cast. We can't see the color of leaves. The various footages from Washington seem to have been taken before the onset of the fall foliage colors. The Patty scene and the one with Roger and the white packhorse both show fall colors.
 
I'd say it's fall foliage at Bluff Creek.

LTC: you are thinking that both the white packhorse scene and the binocular scenes are in the fall at Bluff Creek?
 
In the group pic, it looks like only two horses have the wide flat chest strap in the front. Roger's and the guy between Merritt and Gimlin. That 4th horse also has a big shock of black hair on it's head.

Binocular man's horse looks like that horse to me.

WP, I'm not sure it's Bluff Creek, but who can tell?
 
The guy between Merritt and Gimlin is Howard Heironimus. His horse has a halter with dark (leather?) "forehead and nose straps". Peanuts has a halter with rope strap over the nose. Binoc man is riding Peanuts.

So, I just decided to enjoy a good
horse ride, you know, but he (Roger) was hellbent
to catch sasquatch ‘cause he had a gun
there that shot a net thing out on this saddle and
he carried it right behind his saddle. And it shot
a net out there and he was going to capture a
damn sasquatch.

Sounds like Roger was the only one with a (nonlethal) gun on this little trip...

And we rode up to this log and I saw the
sasquatch step over this log like it was a little
stump, and this damn log was this high! (I
assume he’s pointing somewhere chest high
or above.) There was no way in the world I
could hardly even jump over it, you know, so
the sucker had to be 7 or 8 feet tall – had to be!

Okay, so Mr. desperate for proof of Sasquatch has another encounter and he fails to even attempt to capture it with his net gun? He manages to get his camera out and successfully film something after a horse throws him/lands on him and yet he can't get his net gun? I call hoax. He doesn't say the gender of the "Bigfoot," but it honestly wouldn't surprise me if Merrit saw someone in the (modified?) Patty suit.

I find it funny that Patterson is described as owning a large ranch. Not bad for a guy who supposedly died penniless. I've heard that Patterson didn't have a paper trail when it came to the amount of money he had, so I get the feeling that Patterson wasn't the most popular guy with the IRS.

I also get the feeling that they didn't check to see if there was a platform of some kind behind the log. I wish they had some measurements so it could be tested whether or not someone could actual make it over that log.

Buddy is talking about what he saw in the film, and relating it to where they were riding as if they were riding where Patty walked. Except that Patty never stepped over any logs as far as I remember, and Buddy was mistaken about being at the scene of the PGF anyway.
 
Buddy was probably fooled by the film into thinking that Patty was stepping over logs that were actually much closer to the camera and nowhere near Patty.

Buddy's comments are very curious though, especially if his memory is good.

If that's the case, then he fell victim to the same depth perception issue that was pointed out to Luminous awhile back.

I got stuck on this passage when I first read the article. I think Knox may be quoting Roger talking about Patty. The "we" is P&G.

No way did Roger have a net gun when he encountered Patty. He would have boasted of it.

You mean Knox, not Merritt?

Knox says Bigfoot lived on Patterson's ranch. He could have filmed Bigfoot without leaving home.
 
I was just reading about George Bell, the new tallest man in America. He's 7'8" tall with a 43" inseam and size 19 shoes.

I got to wondering why relatively short Patty would have a stride any longer than a human of the same height? She walks just like a human according to experts who saw the film in 1967 and that's what I see myself. Are her legs long for her height? If her foot is 14.5" long, has anyone done an accurate leg length estimate for Patty?
