Two Blokes Capture Yowie on Video?
Posted by: John Kirk on April 9th, 2014
Two Australians claim they have footage of a yowie with glowing eyes.
Personally I am not very impressed with it. The head and eyes look like a mask to me. Comments, please.

Hunters claim to have captured Bigfoot’s Australian cousin downunder
Two ‘Yowie searchers’ claim to have filmed a strange Bigfoot-like creature
Mysterious beast with glowing eyes dubbed ‘The Morning Visitor’
They say they lured ‘him’ onto camera using a bunch of apples
Video sparks mixed opinions from online Yowie hunting community
Two friends who claim to have captured vision of an Australian Bigfoot say they ‘convinced’ the elusive creature to appear on film by offering him a feast of apples.
The grainy early-morning video, shot in South Queensland on March 29, has sent an online community of Bigfoot hunters into a spin after the friends who filmed it claimed the clip is evidence of the mysterious Yowie – a mythical creature rumoured to roam the Aussie bush.
Jason Heal and Jason Dunn, self-described ‘Yowie searchers’, posted the vision to their YouTube account on April 5 and dubbed the strange creature with glowing eyes ‘The Morning Visitor’.
‘We’d been throwing him a few extra apples since he was willing to appear on camera,’ Jason Heal told MailOnline.
‘I’m somebody who believes in appreciation in life and if he’s showing himself, we appreciate the fact.
‘We even left a few apples without the camera and said “you can have the apples but we don’t get the prize.”‘
He said the Yowie first appeared the Thursday afternoon before their early morning video by waving its ‘black hairy arm’ in front of the lens ‘to see if it’s going to set the camera off or not’.
“The possibility of the video showing a big unidentified ape remains open.’

LOL…a what?
These videos get more and more comical by the day.
watched it… but have no clue wtf i was looking at.
could have been ronald mcdonald for all i know.
Did I miss how they came to the conclusion that it was a male, let alone an actual Yowie?
Before getting too excited by this video I suggest watching a couple of other videos by the same guys (JJYowieSearch). If they are ‘serious researchers’ (which I highly doubt) then they are seriously lacking any shred of credibility.
“Hey, mate, let’s throw a blanket over Bruce’s head and film it!”
“Reckon, he’ll look just like a Yowie!”
I just wonder the desperation of someone buying a tree cam to film themselves in a costume. Kinda sad.
Shiney eyes in a night vision shot,blurred images and all the rest of that nonsense. I think we’re all sick of it. Just go to some of the African safari videos on You Tube. Look at the videos taken of elephants, lions, leopards. Watch a National Geographic special on some animal. If these people could get beautiful videos and pictures of huge elusive animals why can’t Bigfoot Hunters get the same of our big friend ? And don’t tell me how intelligent and elusive they are. Snow leopards and cougars are pretty elusive too, bonobos and orangs are very intelligent too.
Moves “Woodenly”. Perhaps that is why they claim it’s a male

The lack of visual context is indeed stunning.
