    Actually, no one knows where the cabin is located because none of the original 5 miners ever went back to it. Fred Beck years later tried to find it, but according to him some of the landmarks have gone and a rope bridge they crossed was no longer there. This was in the days before aerial survey and mapping, and as far as I can determined there were no map of the area in 1924 which was not unusual. It was not until the advent of satellites was the entire North America continent mapped in detail and even then there still are areas in the Pacific Northwest that has only been mapped by satellites and no one in modern times have travel through it.

      Koda: The monster attack, but Fred and his team are too quick for him. Before he can do it again, they pulled out their guns and shot threw the roof.
      Fat miner: is it over? Fred beck: hank go check. Hank: uh...
      Koda: than hank saw more of them. There's a whole pack of apes coming right at them.
      Harry: fellas, no. They are rogues, you're being invaded. Koda: so one of them got their hand in the cabin to get the knife, before they can get to me. They're all around throwing rocks. And hank started singing. Hank: * singing * if you leave us alone we'll leave you alone, and we'll go home in the 🌄 🎶
      Koda: the attack was over when they were gonna go home, they saw one of the apes. Fred beck: i got this. * bang *
      Harry: no! Koda: Fred shot it and it rolled down the canyon. There were branches everywhere! He couldn't hold his breath any longer, before the pow!
      It rolled into the river, and I've never been so scared of my life.
      Bigfoot chief: Get him! * bad bigfoots chasing Harry *
      Harry: huh? Hendersons: aaaaaaaahhhhh! * crash * George Henderson: we had to take it home.
      Jocko: i almost had him, I was that close. Celestia: whoa. Miners were attacked by bigfoots?
      Luna: i never heard anything like that. Can't you imagine?

    The best telling of this story I have ever heard...
    And I've seen the live-action re-enactment they did of this episode. It was featured on the Bigfoot episode of "In Search of" and originally premiered in an earlier Bigfoot documentary that was also made in the early to mid-1970s.
    The 1970s was the first decade many of us heard this story. It seems to have made a resurgence along with the TOPIC in the last 10 to 15 years.

The 70s definitely had a period charm for that sort of thing. An excellent book is Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science by Jeff Meldrum (2007). Gets very technical at times, but overall approaches all the evidence from multiple angles.

    Your story is a little bit off, as in Fred Beck fired four or five rounds into the head and shoulder area of a big guy that was facing away from him, in the late afternoon/evening before; where it fell into what is now called Ape Canyon. He, Fred knew that he had hit this creature using his trusty Model 92 Winchester, caliber 44/40 at about 50 yards. This big guy was more than likely died during this assault on him/her, and this was the reason for the rest of that clan to try and scare off these miners; which was effected by the big guy assault on the cabin that night following the lose of one of their big guy clan members. So, this situation was caused by a human factor; who caused this situation in the first place, and was not just caused by our big guys going off on a killing spree!
