7 Parts
The video below is a 7-part video of a man called Peter Byrne… his quest to find the great Bigfoot and his findings so far!
Peter Byrne is an Irish man, and after graduating from school he joined the Royal British Air Force to serve in World War II. After his service, he went to northern India to work on a tea plantation where he opened the first tiger hunting concession in Nepal. He was fascinated by exotic animals and his thirst for finding new things kept him hunting.
It was not until one day when he saw up close the reality of his 16 years of hunting, that he stopped shooting animals. The article below is written by Derek Burnett for Reader’s Digest. It describes why he stopped the cruel act of killing.
Peter Byrne stayed behind on the platform with his client, a nobleman’s mistress from Denmark. The two huddled against the Nepalese winter evening, waiting for any sign of motion. Byrne whispered one last time, “Don’t shoot until I tell you.”
It was 1968, and for 16 years Byrne had been the only professional hunter in Nepal. He’d left his job on a tea plantation in India and walked 350 miles to Nepal, where he secured the country’s first-ever hunting concession on a beautiful 60,000-acre park called the White Grass Plains.
He was young, strong and determined. He brought down his first big-game animal — a wild boar that had been terrorizing a village — not with a shotgun but with an ax. There is no room in a hunter for squeamishness. Yet despite his bravery, Byrne had a soft spot in his heart waiting to reveal itself.
Few things are so awe-inspiring as a tiger in the act of killing. It happens with greater ferocity than anyone might imagine. The tiger is an imperceptible blur as it seizes the throat of its prey — which is why Byrne told his client not to fire too soon.
But the gun was fired. The tiger roared, sprang back into the grass and vanished. Byrne descended the tree platform with a flashlight. He held his gun out in front of him, loaded, with the safety off, and walked toward where the tiger had disappeared.
He shone his light on the grass and saw frothy blood. A lung shot. The tiger was injured and at large. Byrne walked back to the platform.
“You’ve wounded it,” Byrne said.
“Are we going to track it?” his client asked. “Not tonight. You never track a wounded animal in the dark. We’ll go back to camp, and I’ll come after it in the morning.”
He hated to think of the tiger suffering out there with a bullet in its lung. A tiger didn’t deserve to die that way.
The Day That Changed Everything
Byrne didn’t know it then, but his hunting days were numbered. He’d been hearing more and more about animal conservation, and always had a deep respect for nature’s wild things. The tiger, for instance. Try to imagine a more refined killing machine. Or the boar, ugly and ungainly, but with an unmatched courage. Even the birds won his admiration.
When he thought about it, he was tired of seeing animals killed by wealthy people trying to impress their friends.
Before light, Byrne and his gun bearer, Pasang, set out for the clearing where the tiger had been shot. It was still misty and cold, the first pale sun teasing at the edge of the sky. They tracked the blood trail to a grassy patch, where Byrne saw a faint white puff. It was the tiger’s breath. He could make out the animal’s form, lying flat on the cold earth. He leveled his gun and fired, shooting the tiger through the neck.
Then, with his weapon ready, he edged his way closer. Pasang followed. Byrne lowered the barrel to the animal’s spine. The tiger had stopped breathing. He moved the gun up along the body to its head.
“It’s alive!” Pasang hissed.
Byrne wasn’t so sure. He decided to check by brushing the tiger’s eyes with the gun barrel. And then he saw what Pasang was hissing about: The tiger’s eyes were a pair of jewels, more shimmering and colorful than anything Byrne had seen before. The lovely morning sunshine played at the tiger’s face, increasing the primordial brilliance of the two incredible orbs, a gift of nature that stopped the hunter’s breath.
But before he could register their beauty, the eyes began to change. The brilliance began to fade, driven out by a dull, milky haze.
In that moment, Byrne knew he had seen what he’d managed to avoid in 16 years of killing. He’d watched life disappear, displaced by the awful, muted tones of death.
That was the day that Byrne witnessed the reality of his life’s work up close. Sickened by the revelation, he decided to put away his guns and devote himself to conservation. He converted the park where he had hunted into an animal preserve that today is more than three times its original size. He also started a small nonprofit organization called the International Wildlife Conservation Society, which keeps Byrne’s park functioning and free of poachers. And in the 1970s, with urging from Byrne, the government of Nepal placed serious restrictions on hunting.
Today, Byrne, 80, divides his time between the preserve in Nepal and his summer home in Los Angeles. His latest project is building a conservation center to accommodate scientists and tourists.
In the video he talks about how his passion of the Bigfoot/Yeti/Sasquatch comes from his hunting days. Not to kill it, but to hunt it down with the backing that even with science, there is proof that something unexplained exists out there.
Trying to find a Bigfoot, he says, is like finding a needle in a haystick…but this needle is moving. He describes the Bigfoot as elusive, shy, nocturnal…living in extremely difficult terrain in an enormous area. This makes it really difficult to pinpoint one down and at times it can be quite frustrating for him!
He argues how it’s impossible that the Sherpas of Nepal, Russian peasants of Siberia and American-Indians of the Pacific North-West…could have all made up the same thing? How can all them have records on their strong belief in the same creature?
This is a very old video…the “oldness” of it almost adds a little authenticity to it…hehe. Do watch it, it’s almost like watching an old Indiana Jones movie!

National Geographic American Paranormal – Bigfoot
This documentary contains an excellent explanation on the Patterson-Gimlin footage of Bigfoot dubbed Patty. It goes through scientific methods to prove the image on the film is authentic. Please watch and be convinced finally. I’ve always believed the footage was genuine. Mr. Gimlin in all the interviews I’ve watched seemed very genuine and suffered tremendously as a result of the footage.

Peter Byrne, a true living legend in the world of Sasquatch , born in Ireland. Since young , he was fascinated by exotic animals that kept him hunting. Until one day through his experience watching animal been shot and suffered , he decided once for all stopped shooting animals.
Peter Byrne has always had an interest in the unknown and the mysterious. He travelled across five continents from the high Himalaya to the rugged forests of US in search of bigfoot. He founded the Bigfoot Research Project, which was a full-scale scientific investigation centre to prove the existence of Sasquatch. He was the author of several books which gives a insightful account of his research work. Watched those videos ….interesting .
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.
This is a real awesome documentary on bigfoot. One of the best – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cp5eV9nIEjk&feature=youtu.be
In 1967, Bob Gimlin and Roger Patterson stumbled across an incredible sight whilst out in Bluff Creek, in the California wilderness. At a creek which had been freshly washed-out by recent floods, they witnessed a female Bigfoot swiftly traverse the rugged landscape. Since their filmed encounter with the Bigfoot, who has since been nicknamed Patty, many have disputed the authenticity of their recording but no one has been able to successfully prove that it is a fake.
Credits for this video goes to entirely to windvale for the original footage. ?
Dear friends, This is a very good documentary on bigfoot. It is very scientific and examines a new footage of a bigfoot running very fast. Examines and gives you reasons why this cannot be a man or a person in a suit..very nice. I’ve not seen this one before. – https://video.tsemtulku.com/videos/BigfootStabilised.mp4
Peter Byrne is a remarkable story of change that can take place in anyone of us once we appreciate the consequence of our actions and the value of all lives. And with that realization he went from being a taker of lives to a preserver. What a wonderful story of a man.
I like Byrne’s conclusion that so many different accounts from different sources about Bigfoot cannot be made up. In many ways, I would prefer that Bigfoot not be found as we human beings are particularly skilled at twisting things of nature for our own amusement. Imagine a group of hunters descending on the Himalayas with the intention to kill something they do not understand.
I am slowly going through the videos and they are extremely engaging. Really worth another look.
