It’s Danny Whitaker. Several know him from fishing. He was hunting somewhere around 33. Some said they saw his car at the fire tower but it’s not there now. His phone last pinged off a tower in Addison

Vehicle was located at/near PineTorch church. I know that area really well. Hope they find him in good shape . I believe he may have some health issues like Alzheimer’s, but I’m not 100% on that!!

I remember surveying in there this time of the year and forgetting about the time change on my daily plan. Sun sets even earlier down in some of those holes, and fortunately I had a light and my flagged woods line to work with. I hope he stays put and is ok, somebody will find him.

I believe he has heart issues like 99% of us. But I don’t believe he has Alzheimer’s.

Rode through there last weekend - lot of leaves had dropped. Big rain this week should’ve helped also. 🤞🏻

Been following on FB. Hope all turns out well. That is a big and vast place.

Bigfoot is definitely living in there too. I know it sounds ridiculous but I've heard them talking in there on A side on the far west side of the forest. Sounded like two 1k pound apes fussing in a Chinese language. I will never forget that day. They were within 35 yards of me in a pine thicket. I heard it for about 10 minutes and I started walking backwards it was so bad. I had a loaded 3006 across my chest and it didn't make me feel any safer.

They were so loud and deep, ain't no damn way a man could have made that language. Ain't no man gonna make my instincts yell at me to turn around from the time I got out of my truck and slowly walked down that old logging Rd either. That entire hour hike in my instincts were screaming not to go down that trail. I never went back to that area. I never hunted that side of the forest again.

Last summer me and my son had something walk straight to us in a swamp on Redstone Arsenal in the middle of the night. It shut the entire forest down. It shut every July fly up. My dogs hair was standing up. We could hear the damn water dripping off of it. It walked straight to us and stopped about 30yds away in the brush. Only reason why we stayed cause I had a pistol on my hip and a mean German Shepherd to help me. I thought it was gonna be someone playing a trick on us but it wasn't. It never walked out close enough to see it.

If you are serious I would suggest you either stay out of the woods or seek help for the paranoid episodes, no offense intended.

If this is an attempt at your humor, which I normally appreciate, I’d say that this is not the right time or topic.

Prayers for the gentleman’s safe return. I’m not at all familiar with Bankhead but it sure sounds like some rough terrain.


Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.
