Bigfoot, Sasquatch, A. Snowman: Believers?

This has been more fun than a goat roping. Some observations, opinions and comments. It is amazing what we pass every day without observing it because we are too busy, in a hurry or preoccupied with something that is important. We have for the most part lost that instinct to know what is around us at any given time because we are "civilized". Coyotes live in our back yards yet we see very little of them because we do not "see" or sense.

As to being wary of humans (so we don't see them), who can blame them. If you were a "bigfoot" and had the opportunity to observe humans would you want to interact with us? I wouldn't and don't any more than I have to. To be honest, after reading the last 8 pages of comments, I am further reinforced that minimal contact is a good thing.

Why is our first reaction to something we don't know and understand is to shoot it. Kinda reminds me of my old Daddy. If he didn't understand it, he'd whup it and if he still didn't understand it, he'd whup it until it made sense. Of course that could explain his 10 marriage track record, not to mention his lack of parenting skills. Heck, he may have been a bigfoot and we just thought he was different although he was about the size of one.

Which reminds me to address the tree raping. Why is everybody having such a hard time with that? Hey, it may work for him/them/you'll. Certainly cuts down on the need for conversation, and just think how many lawyers would starve with no marriage court, alimony, property settlements. Heck I could go on but I'm afraid if I think of anymore positives, I may be a convert. If I have to look at another Walmart hottie (sic) that oak tree will probably get to looking a lot better.

Now, can we all take a deep breath and say that we will only believe what we can see, hear, taste, pass through our lower intestines ? I think not. We believe in a lot of possibilities and act on them everyday, such as living with the one you married since you said "till death us do part" or that you'll never hear your child say "Dad, Mom, I'm gay". What I'm saying is that we get in a rut, do not use our minds, do not consider the possibilities ( can you imagine being able to go back to when your grandparents were born and tell that generation that we were going to put a man on the moon?) You would be in the rubber Ramada. Look at medicine,; organ transplants, stem cell research, tissue and organ regeneration, and who would have thought that it would happen in such a short time. And not so that anyone would get delusional and think that we are at the top of the intelligence chain, the more smarter we get, it seems like the more discoonnected we get from everythign around us including each other. Now how smart is that.
As to six or seven bigfoots taking up stones at the cabin, at least it looks to me like they stick together and act together for their common good. Now adays we will walk by someone who needs us, people will gather around and gawk but offer no help, will not unite against a common foe for the good of the community of all.

If you see one, don't shoot it. It's a living breathing creature and probably trying to get back to its own where it feels safe.

As to my own thoughts, I don't know but I won't say they don't, but if anyone sees one, post the last known sighting coordinates because the way the world is looking from what we've made it, I may try to find them and see if they will take me in. If that happens I promise to get back to you on the reason fro the fascination with the tree thingy (you know what I mean)
 
Time to chime in

Howdy,
I make fun of everyone I meet that believes in Bigfoot.
On the other hand around 1970 I predicted self serve gas would never catch on and two or three years ago I declared Osama Bin Laden dead and buried in a bombed cave never to be discovered. Seems like I'm most wrong on the big calls?
I still think Bigfoot is a product of big talkers.
Thanks
Mike
 
It'd be easier to say that it/they do exist, but if so, why have there never been ANY trail cam pics?

If you follow BogFoot research, you will find several photos of potential BF creatures made with trailcams. These photos are always studied to make them authentic. Most are deemed as fakes such as men in costumes. Some are not able to be confirmed or disputed. A very few appear to be the real deal.

Since I have not seen one personally but know a very creditible man that has, I have a big interest in the study of BigFoot. I have seen enough firm evidence to say they exist but are very few in number and smart in the ways of the wild.

Every few years, another species is located that has been unknown to the world beforehand. Who is to say that a BF is not possible?
 
Evertyone knows Bigfoot exists and was discovered by Steve Austin. He was controlled by Stephaine Powers, who is an alien from another planet.

I have a photo (non-digital, or I would show you) of a bigfoot footprint, taken near Mount Lassen in 1983. My kid has never believed it to be real, but it is, and anybody who says different is a damn liar.
 
Beyond that, there have been reports of Sasquatch taking humans for mating purposes. Ending up a forest bride may well be worse than being eaten.QUOTE]

I just wanna be there when one tries that with Joni Lynn. He'll be in for a big surprise!!!!:D

I always get sucked into the bigfoot documentaries and whatnot on the history channel or discovery channel. I am totally on the fence as to whether or not they are out there. One thing that peaks my interest is stories from policemen and the like that had encounters with what they knew was not an ordinary known animal. LEO's are trained to notice and recall details of their observations. If a cop says he saw something he thinks was a sasquatch, i would tend to give him/her the benefit of the doubt. I would be scared out of my mind if I was in the deerstand at just about dark and saw something like that!


What I also found particularly interesting was on a history channel documentary where some witnesses underwent a polygraph test and the test results concluding that they were not lying about their encounters and that at the very least they truly believed that they had an encounter with a bigfoot. Also, a specialist trained in reading body language in interviews who has worked for homeland security came to the same conclusion, those witnesses truly believed they saw a bigfoot. In other words, they were telling the truth, about something. Whether or not they saw bigfeet is unknown.

I watched the series "Finding Bigfoot" this summer on discovery. Alot of very interesting stories from alot of seemingly normal, reasonable people. Some incidents are just not easily explained as encounters with known animals.

For protection from a 'squatch', I'll take a 460 S@W in a shoulder rig, with a Win m70 Supergrade chambered in 300 Win Mag. I wouldnt think they would have cape buffalo-thick hide, so my guess is any cartridge that works on the rest of the critters in North America should work just fine on a squatch.

Well, as it relates to the other thread...I'm wondering why some sasquatch devotees have never gone out and set up hundreds of trail cams in the remotest areas where sightings have occurred.

Personally, I can believe a large animal might not have been discovered yet, but only in remote locales. When I read about a bigfoot sighting in New Jersey or Florida I tend to think not.

It has been done and some photos have been made. After study, many of the photos were proven to be fakes. A few have been considered as authentic.

This has been discussed on the board before and I said then that the most honest man I ever knew saw one up close. He cried as he told me about it. The guy had me bring him the most powerful rifle I own to him. It was over a year later before he finally told me about the encounter and let me have my rifle back. He never saw it again. I learned later that there were several sightings in the area around the time he saw it.

Locate the video from the dash cam of the GA sheriff's car that shows one. It is on the internet.
 
You guys can believe what you want, but I know that BigFoot exist. He came to my front door one morning and I told him his sister wasn't up yet, but come in and have a cup of coffe and wait. Why sould I be afraid of him, his sister who is meaner and tougher and I have been married 41 years.

Rule 303

But is she as hairy and smell as bad?
 
You have to admit though... That video isn't exactly conclusive. I've seen it. Looked like someone darting across the road to me.

Correct to a point. Notice the width of the road and how many steps to cross 26 feet. Not many humans take 8 foot long steps. Then step over a guard rail without using hands. Then we have it walking upright. Bears cannot do that with such movements and a bear is not that size.

Had the dash cam not been in a sheriff's vehicle, I would be more doubtful myself. From the audio, it took the occupants by suprise as well.

The scene has been the subject of several reconstruction attempts. None have been able to recreate the movements as to distances or time.
 
While there was general non-belief in the existence of the platypus (until a live one was brought to England) shows that animals can exist without being "discovered" -- by "white" people or it doesn't count -- I don't believe any land animal that large remains in hiding.
Good enough stuff for ghost stories and such, but they aren't out there.

If you watch some of the shows about this subject, they do this, but the methodology always seems dubious at best.

They hardly ever make any effort to really hide the cameras. If these animals are as smart as people make them out to be, they'd notice something in their environment that wasn't there yesterday... or for the last hundred years for that matter.

A lot of other things seem stupid to me like using ape pheremones to attract them. Are YOU attracted by the scent of a chimp or orangutan? If not, why would you assume that something as allegedly different from a chimp as you are, would be?

There's probably something out there. There certainly have been enough other "mythical" animals who turned out to be real in the last two centuries. What and where it really is remains to be seen.
