      I can relate to this story
      As my sighting is also mentioned on Light meets dark website, the Grampians sighting on January 12th 2012.
      However years later once My IT friend uploaded the Thylacine photographs into windows photo viewer. The time and date stamps said it was the 10th of January 2012 not the 12th but anyhow apart from that discrepancy everything else about my sighting is accurate.
      Only a few photos were sent to Parks Vic and DSE and all my photos were photos taken of photos.
      That way the the owner of the photographs being me preserves the highest resolution pixels and as found out later and the original data stamp associated with the photos.
      Any shared photos with people are photos of photos.
      This story seems believable.
      Bit if a shame someone who shoots one doesn’t have the balls to come forwards as a dead specimen is hard evidence and at least if shot on the mainland would break the government’s misinformation model of Red Mangey Fox.
      A dead thylacine would certainly prove their lies wrong.
      As I’ve always said it’s not the sightings that count it’s he who counts the sighting’s. And when you have Grampians Ark funded by government money to 1080 bait 230,000 Hectares that money probably has special interests attached to it.
      Any reports of thylacines need be misidentified as a red fox and squashed so the professor of biology from Deakin university can keep validating himself that he is doing the right thing for the environment by killing feral predators.
      If you choose to identify a thylacine as a fox then you can keep up the killing and keep the money coming in.
      I guess if my photos were acknowledged to be true and correct then the professor along with DSE and Parks Vic would perhaps try cover up the evidence as they may fear ridicule for the death sentence they imposed on the Grampians Thylacine.
      Same way the shooter of this story wants to cover up a thylacine death.
      Government officials are worse and I say that first hand from experience.
      Pack of cowards who lie through their teeth with false claims that the stripes of my thylacine were of a mangy fox that lost its fur from mange in what appears to be stripes but are not actually stripes.
      This is the nonsense performed from he who counts the sightings.
      Yet there is no evidence or photographs of any fox world wide losing its fur in stripes yet their lack of evidence of a fox doing that is reason enough to say my thylacine photos with stripes are not a thylacine with stripes it’s a fox with stripes.
      So no evidence of stripes on mangy foxes is evidence of stripes on Mangey fixed yet my evidence of thylacines photos with stripes are not evidence of a thylacine with stripes.
      My guess is perhaps they own shares in the 1080 bait program as stripes are apparently not stripes.
      This is the Australian Government
      Who ordered its extinction in Tasmania then built the dingo fence on the mainland and baited and continues to bait everything across the eastern seaboard.
      Just Deny and lie and continue to enjoy the 1080 bait money.
      Grampians Ark is a death penalty on the thylacine and the professor of biology is the leading factor in the death sentence imposed.

    I've commented this on multiple other thylacine videos so I'll share it again. My farther in law has told me this story that back in the early/mid 2000s a couple of hunters accidentally shot one. They then took it back to the tunnack pub and it was put into the deep freezer. He seen it the night it was shot. Now he's unsure of what happened to it after that but he had been told that the university of Tas came and took it and also paid the hunters and owner of the pub to keep quiet about the incident. I personally do believe they are still out there and think there is evidence that proves it but it has not been released to the public for the same reason as why the story I was told was never mentioned because idiots with half a brain would go out track one and kill one just to make a name for themselves.

      @@joshwilliams7360 Thanks for your reply. I did a video tape interview of couple from St. Mary's area whose 1979 sighting I mentioned above. They watched two thylacines in the short grass just off the road to Fingal for several minutes at less than 20 yds. Very strong sighting esp. because of the the length of time, close distance, not running but slowly walking about, stripes and other key identifiers; plus they were not seeking publicity. I presently am sponsoring a significant effort in Tasmania, but I'm certainly not the only one working on this in Tasmania. Neil Water's is also a making a significant effort and despite the huge levels of criticisms, I respect his efforts. I'm based at the George Town airfield. Neil is based at Mt. Cameron. Andrew Orchard also continues to work in the NE. And there are others with a few cameras; perhaps others making serious efforts. I also have strong sighting interviews in SE central Tassie near the highlands. IMO, thylacines may still hold on precariously on the east side, but I retain my own doubts primarily because the devil facial disease study which employed MANY cameras never resulted in any thylacine pics...Despite my involvement, I remain somewhat neutral, but leaning towards continued survival somewhere...

      Not everyone wants to be 100% dependent on the supermarket. Rural Tasmanians often have their own garden and supplement that with wild game not to mention hunting fish, lobster, etc. Hunting is a big subject and I certainly don't agree with all types of hunting, but the one thing it has going for it is the fact that's it's the virtual opposite of agriculture which arguably was the basic reason thylacine numbers were decimated not to mention all of the other numerous negatives to wildlife and crucial ecosystems.

      @@veronikaquick6738 I agree with several of your points, but it's a mistake to paint hunting and hunters with a broad stroke. I will address your point regarding fun/entertainment. Of course I don't agree with, for example all types of such hunting. On the other hand, hunting and by extension fishing (which is also hunting) can be "fun". It's a paleolithic vacation of sorts and puts man back in the circle of Nature as opposed to be outside that circle as most people find themselves today. Even picking and eating wild berries can be fun compared to just paying for blackberries or whatever at your local market. Regarding the thylacine, it wasn't Aboriginal hunters or even Tasmanian hunters which brought the species to the point of extinction. It was primarily agriculturalists because they were the impetus for the bounties. Agriculture started the world wide population growth beginning roughly 12,000 ybp primarily via three crops: wheat, corn, and rice. On the positive side, we have the world today with all it's benefits. On the negative side we are causing the 6th mass extinction epoch because of population growth and all the life killing aspects commercial agriculture entails. By the way, yes I'm a biologist, working in Tasmania and Borneo. In Tassie I'm actively hunting Mr. Stripey (with cameras)...I'm not interested in a reward, I'm interested in conservation biology.

Yep, modern biology might went wrong saying thylacine went bye bye forever in the 30s or 40s or 50s ( a lot of search parties with 0 results ) for sure. I would put my money he was still alive in the 70s and the 80s. It would be really brave and crazy ( God I wish for ! ) to say that animal still was around in the 90s ! It's 2023. and technology ( hi-res cams, all types of drones, a lot of field researches with good ground and air vehicles, mobile phones that have both cameras and software as a small Tv station, professional labs that fit in your suitcase, more than a dozen serious bounty offers that could make you rich and famous for eternity ) and the way of life and research is 8x faster and better than it was in the 60s, for example. And still, for years and years now - nothing.
    If I would guess, we all should thanks to few greedy men in the 60s and 70s for final extinction of Tasmanian Tiger. Bastards shot a dozen of those, in 4 incidents, and put a final blow. From there and in next 10 years, or so, only a dozen were left to roam across the wild. With no chance for healthy reproduction.

    Doesn’t really change anything for me, still no good evidence, just some possibly credible accounts. Even if you’d shot one by accident, the remains would have value and probably made the hunters turn them in?
    I would imagine the last human interaction with thylacines were unlikely to be the last of the species, just statistically speaking, and there are extremely credible sitings later on, but whether there were individuals in the 80s, 90s, 00s or even today, it seems unlikely they’re anything other than dead clade walking as the population probably has the gene pool with the depth of a muddy puddle. I hope I’m wrong, I truly do.
    Getting a bit tin foil hat here, but the Aussie government keeping quiet could be as much that they recognise there’s little hope and it’s not in their interest to keep out companies exploiting Tasmania’s natural resources. If the thylacine was proven to persist, they’d have to act to preserve it, face international scrutiny and still may have little chance of saving the poor things. Possibly. Maybe. I dunno.

    Best chance of seeing one on Tasmania is still the likes of your old mate Neil and his trail cams, which should a decent photo turn up, would speak for itself without any spin or interpretation, and a bit of scientific rigour…

      Low levels of genetic homozygosity are not necessarily a fatal circumstance for species...cheetahs and California elephant seals are just two examples. As well, it's likely Tasmanian thylacines had low levels of homozygosity even before Tasmania was settled.

      What are you going to use for a scent if they're all dead?... you'll just hope he picks out the right scent out of billions of other scents? Cause a stuffed Thylacine won't work after one's been taxidermied.. Old hides won't work for the same reason due to what they go through to cure and preserve them to prevent the hides from shrinking and their hair from falling out..If done wrong, you'll have to restretch the hide overtime, aswell as having the hair fall out if its hair wasn't set correctly, locking the hair in place...Those chemicals and things used in taxidermy and curing hides will strip the original scent, hell, so will time on its own... bones in a museum won't work to use as a scent either due to their age, as well as the preservation process to prevent the bone from one day disintegrating because of their age.... So, if you used anything like that, which are the only things left that exists as far as we're aware, your dog will lead you to another museum lmao.
      Plus, after 100 years, bones left undiscovered will have dissolved into nothing... leaving behind a void in the ground in the shape of the bone that once laid there. if left undisturbed in the correct conditions for a very very long time, the void could be filled in with certain types of minerals being leached in and forming in the exact shape of the bone that left that void....which would be called, a fossil.
      So, yeah, unless you have something fresh for them to smell, and you're 100% sure it's/came from a thylacine, they either won't know what to track at all, or they'll track the wrong thing entirely because what you gave them to smell wasn't thylacine....
      How do you think tracking works? Do you think you just give the dog a name or show them a picture of the animal like it's a mob hit, then off they go, tracking an animal they've never smelled before? No, you have to give them a scent...if it's a person you're tracking, you let the dog smell the persons clothing or something, then they try picking up the trail and following it. How is a dog supposed to pick up a scent trail with no reference for it to go on? Lmao.
