Two Oregon men who ventured into the woods of Washington state on a Christmas Eve hunt for Sasquatch have been found dead, authorities confirmed on Saturday.
The 59-year-old and 37-year-old, whose names have not yet been released, tragically failed to return from their expedition, sparking a frantic three-day search across the rugged Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
The men's deaths are believed to be the result of exposure to the harsh winter conditions.
With no signs of foul play or injury, authorities speculate that the pair's lack of preparation for the extreme weather may have led to their deaths.
The Sheriff's Office pointed out that the weather conditions and the men's inadequate gear were major factors in the fatal outcome.
The pair's ill-fated trip began on Christmas Eve when they set out to search for Sasquatch, the elusive creature of folklore often said to roam the forests of the Pacific Northwest.
But after the men failed to return to their holiday outing, a family member alerted authorities to their disappearance at around 1 am on Christmas Day.
A massive three-day search effort ensued, involving over 60 volunteers, including search-and-rescue teams, canine units, drones, and ground searchers.
The Coast Guard also joined the search, using infrared technology to scan the forest from the air.
Authorities eventually used camera footage to track down the men's vehicle, located off Oklahoma Road near Willard, about 150 miles northeast of Portland.
From there, the teams zeroed in on the remote, heavily wooded area where the bodies were discovered.

And snipes actually exist...
They shoulda brought Jack-Links…
Broke back Sasquatch
Probably attacked by drones
....and they didn't find Bigfoot, either.
“Hold my drink and watch this!”
As for me, I try to find neocons that are intelligent and normal on this forum. No luck yet.
Something tells me they had adequate beer, though.
In the PacNW, its as I described. What you call “fatwood”, is what is called pitch wood. Same thing.
I’ll bet that an excessive amount of “Holiday Cheer” was a contributing factor in this sad (for the families involved) incident.
A sad misadventure, however they were determined to get there. Even sasquatch-hunters have families who love them. Now besides their loss, the families' Christmases have been destroyed.
Perhaps these guys had watched "Mount Adams" as a Christmas movie, and became fatally inspired once the bars closed.
A team of UFO investigators find themselves fighting for survival as alien monsters hunt them on the slopes of Mount Adams.
Why?
Drug deal gone bad
There was around 4 feet of snow over the weekend up there with blizzard conditions.
“they were looking for a fantasy creature”
It is a more worthwhile hobby than looking for an honest Democrat.
Lol.
I am led to believe that they migrate to warmer climes in the winter. They go to Florida and Louisiana where they are called skunk apes. They call them that because they are still wearing their flannels and haven’t bathed leading to a rather strong aroma.
Darwin Award candidates. They went out into the wilderness completely unprepared in Wintertime.
Find your fire starter along the river where the wind always blows. As boy scouts we could start a fire in a swimming pool.

Sounds like alcohol was involved….Christmas Eve, not wearing proper clothing?
I’m not saying it was the Sasquatch, but......... LOL!
