NEW MEXICO SIGHTING REPORTS - MIKE JOINER Southern Sasquatch Society; 1900 Briar Oaks Drive; Bryan; Texas 77802 (409)691-2481 The Anthony sighting took place at midnight on a four lane highway. I was unable to find the couple; but I did search the area in question. I found the area to be part of the Franklin Mountains; who's highest mountain is 5;900 feet. The vegetation in the area is one of desert; with scrub and one sees juniper trees. The climate is very arid; with an average amount of rainfall under ten inches. The wildlife in the area consist of bobcat; skunk; and coyote. There are some bear in the mountains; but are rarely seen. After being in the area I see no way that a Bigfoot could have been seen. The area is desert in 100 miles square. There could be no way for a Bigfoot to get there unless walking over a large desert. Also there is no adequate water or food; thus I rule that what was seen was a coyote or bear; nothing else.,

Summary: BF SIGHTING REPORTED

Sighting Text:
NM The sighting at Sitting Bull Falls is interesting; and may be connected with the sighting in Mescalro. The area is somewhat pine forested. There are camp areas around the falls and plenty of water. However the mountains in the area are no more than 6000 feet; even in the Guadalupe Mts. The two witness' were not found; but the locals in the area talked about the creature that shows up every now and then. It is my opinion that the creature that was seen at Sitting Bull Falls is the same one seen in the area around Mescalro; which is about 80 miles north. I have traveled the possible route of the Bigfoot and it is possible to travel through many valleys that connect the two areas. The Indian woman that was interviewed was reluctant to talk about it and has no reason to lie. I believe that the Bigfoot could migrate between the two areas during summer and winter. There is enough food in both areas to support at least a rogue male. Where elk; bear; and coyote live in relative comfort. As for the sighting in Artesia; I see no way a creature could live there or even get there! This sighting should be disregarded as a mistake. In conclusion; I believe that there is a 10% chance that Bigfoot is residing in New Mexico. Although I don't discount the sightings; having been in the area it is hard to imagine a creature living here very long. The idea that a creature such as Bigfoot traveling through the desert does not make much sense. After living here nine years; I explored many areas of forested land. I think that it's safer looking elsewhere unless a new sighting or two come to light.,

NM Shepherds shoot BF;runs wounded into a canyon aided by two other BF, 1969; Chuska Mts.; two Navaho shepherds shot at an 8 foot BF which ran wounded into a canyon; helped by two others. (BFN p. 183) NEW MEXICO SIGHTING REPORTS - MIKE JOINER Southern Sasquatch Society; 1900 Briar Oaks Drive; Bryan; Texas 77802 (409)691-2481 The two sightings from the Chuska Mountains were both on the Navaho Indian Reservation. The first involved two shepherds who shot and hit the Bigfoot. I've been to the reservation and talked with many of the Indians. They were most helpful. It was however in their opinion that a spirit was seen. Although I respect their beliefs; I feel that maybe it could be something else. The area is mountainous and has many valleys that could hide a creature. However; the climate is very dry and the vegetation can be both thick pines and scrub. Two other Bigfeet were seen. Thus there would have to be enough food to support a small group of the creatures. This would be very hard in an area that would require the creatures to hunt continuously. I was told that the Navaho people have a wolf God. This God dresses as a wolf. It is possible that some of the sightings might result from this. However the second sighting might well be something else. Most of the people that I spoke with did not believe a Bigfoot was reasonable; but poor Indians that were living in the mountains. Also it can not be ruled out that drink might be involved. Gallup has the highest rate of alcoholism here and happens to be right next to the reservation. My thought is that it is possible that Bigfeet were involved; but the area is surrounded by desert and there is not a lot of food to keep them., inches 1.00.70.90.60.40.41.92.31.11.20.80.912.2 Zuni °F 31.135.241.048.456.765.771.268.962.652.240.832.450.5,

NEW MEXICO SIGHTING REPORTS - MIKE JOINER Southern Sasquatch Society; 1900 Briar Oaks Drive; Bryan; Texas 77802 (409)691-2481 In January; 1970; a Bigfoot was seen near Zuni. I went to the area and found a creditable number of people that said that they felt the stories were true; but none had seen anything since then. The area is semi-desert within the southern part of the Chuska Mountains. I was not able to find the youths; now grown. John Green wrote in his book that he; "had received a number of sightings in the area on both sides of the Arizona and New Mexico border." this vegetation is not the best to support a large group of Bigfeet. However it is possible that if more time could be spent in the area; it could prove or disprove the whole idea of Bigfeet in New Mexico.,
