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.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

And that's the main reason why I limit my Sasquatch searches to summer months only.

It made it look like an accident, so nobody would look for it.

Everyone knows Bigfoot hibernates for the winter. And they don’t like being disturbed.

These were local guys, they knew the weather conditions, why would they venture out with out adequate gear.

It’s not just the cold in the Pacific Northwest that’s a danger; it’s the months of on-and-off rain during the winter, and the lack of sunlight. Try lighting a campfire at night when all the wood is completely soaked.

The sort of person who goes out hunting bigfoot could be expected to not think everything through.

I stick to snipes. A Sasquatch can be dangerous if you catch one. Snipes don’t present that problem.

Was alcohol involved? Because this sure sounds like “Let’s go now so we can find their footprints in the snow!”
