[nell67]

This was on the news last night.

[oldsoldier]

Kinda looks like Rick day #2 of jamboree LOL

[Ken]

I'd rank that on par with the folks who see a religious image appear on a grilled english muffin. Just sayin'.

[doug1980]

I find it funny that every pic of the so called "bigfoots" are always blurry and hardley recognizable. Seems fishy to me.

[oldsoldier]

But seriouslly Nell who knows?? As a part cherokee I have heard the tribal legends for years.. I think that there are things on this planet that we have yet to explain. Be it a earth creature we haven't discovered OR...........think area 51

[crashdive123]

I'll bet that every deer, rabbit, or squirrel that that trail camera catches is in perfect focus.

LOL,oldsolier,I think if there really were bigfoot's(feet),someone somewhere would have found bones,scat or something to prove they exist.

[nell67]

If you were able to watch the video,they actually showed a pic it took of a rabbit,it was grainy as well,but you could tell without a doubt what it was.

[2dumb2kwit]

Do I think that is a picture of a bigfoot? No.

Do I think they exist? I don't know.

A guy that I worked with for several months, on a couple of different jobsites, saw something while he was on the way to work, one morning.
This guy was one of those kinda cocky, tuff guy construction worker's, that has hunted and shot black bears. I could see in his eyes, that what ever he saw that morning, scared the crap out of him.

[pocomoonskyeyes]

I just don't know... I saw an Ivory billed woodpecker 10 years after they said they were extinct, Didn't know what I saw for 20 years.15 years after they said they were extinct they said there were some in Cuba. Same kind of thing about the Florida Panther for years they said there were no more, then all of a sudden they had to say that there were a few left, now they are showing up in other states as well (see the thread "Jaguar" That is what CS is talking about). Bigfoot has been sighted in every state but two I think, each year they find something new that they never knew existed before..... jes' sayin'....

[Sourdough]

I was married to "Bigfoot"......:)

[Sourdough]

I was married to "Bigfoot"......:)

ME also.........:clap:

[crashdive123]

You two should get together and write kind of a Dear Abbey column. With the experiences you two have it could prove to be invaluable.

See there - now that's what I'm talking about. That right there folks is boots in the field experience.

[hunter63]

I believe in Big Foot, now I planning on going and looking for him, but I gonna need 2-3 mil for start up money, you know for scientific stuff, gear, BFG etc.
So kiddies please send donations to..........................

We are not alone.

[mccaw69]

Heard the stories,even talked two a couple of folks that have claimed to have seen it a few years back,but i've been in the woods most all my life,and i'll be dang he never comes to visit,never writes,or even calls........:innocent:

[sh4d0wm4573ri7]

Possible ? Yes I believe it is possible but I'am not convinced. The DNR in MN claimed there are no cougars in Mn while bowhunting deer on private land Had one walk by within 15 yds sulking down a deer runway tracks and scat proved them wrong thats proof a lousy photo is no proof to me.

[Sarge47]

Haven't we done this before? Okay all of you "Bigfoot" believers, answer me this: How come, in over 50 years of Bigfoot sightings we don't have a single BF corpse? Shouldn't there be at least ONE case of BF roadkill, or a deer hunter mistaking one for Bambi like they do all of the time with every other beast in creation? We don't have BF Scat, fur, or anything concrete. Every photo aledging to be of BF is "out-of-focus." This creature is reportedly huge, yet even the most experienced tracker who can trail a field mouse across a lava bed can't locate just one! Must be a Ninja BF whose body mysteriously vanishes when it dies, huh? Here's an idea; somebody put up a $50,000 bounty on a BF corpse & see what happens! Since they're not officially recognized there's no law against bagging one! Hmmm, wonder what a BF sandwich would taste like slmothered in bar-b-que sauce? :cool2:

[Sarge47]

ME also.........:clap:Same here! :cool2:

[crashdive123]

Because they live forever and are indestructible - kind of like fluffy pink bunnies.

Well duhh.... Maybe they bury their dead. Chupacabra is real and we don't have any bodies of them do we. Heheeeheheh:blushing::tongue_smilie:

no way, just another fake. Maybe the guys who filmed that are just trying to get a job with FOX:art:

Well you see Sarge they are like the Predators, you know in the movie. They use the trees to travel so no tracks. And there are no bodies found because right before they die they lite a forest fire. And you thought it was humans being dumb causing these fires. :)

[canid]

that's obviously the mothman. i had been wondering where he went.

mitch hedberg had it; i think bigfoot is blurry.

Sarge I think there is already a bounty and I also think it is larger than 50,000.
IF anyone shoots one ,you can have my share of the Bar-B-Que. I just think I'll have to pass on that one. Yuck!!! You Do Realize another name is "Skunk Ape" don't you? No thank you, No Sir!!!

[Rick]

Nah, that ain't it. Now me, I've got a picture of the real McCoy. Yes, sir. The reeeeaal bigfoot. I'm about to send it in, too. There's a whole family of them that live around here.

[Ole WV Coot]

I am a firm believer in the old saying "Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see". Anyone who has spent a lot of time alone deep in the woods has "thought" they have seen or heard something they couldn't identify. Drinking a little "shine" helps.

[Rick]

Helps "identify" it?

Best be careful poco,that pick was taken down your way!

[chiye tanka]

Ok, 80% of legends are based in fact.
Every Native American tribe has a story about some hairy man (Lakota/chiye tanka).
Off the top of my head, I can't recall the exact number, alot of planes have gone down in the Pacific Northwest and very few have ever been found.
I spent much more time in the woods in my youth, but I can only recall two or three times when I found a dead animal that I didn't catch or kill myself.

I could go on, but I'm sure the sh1t storm I'm going to face will only pile up.(pun intended)

BTW, we need a bigfoot smiley!!!!

[ClayPick]

Just for interest sake, I’ve seen a moose carcass all but disappear in less then 2 weeks. There have never been any sightings around my neck of the woods. Kind of makes me feel short changed.

[NightShade]

There was a story a few years back about bigfoot in Mass on cape cod.... in a section of woods less than 1 square mile.... I laughed ... The "baby crying at night" noise could only be a bigfoot..... As this spot was close to one of my favorite hiking areas I checked it out for myself.... there was sign of Fischer Cat everywhere.. people couldn't identify the noise so they chalked it up to bigfoot... I think alot of the stories are people trying to explain something they don't understand....
That being said, there are a lot of stories going back hundreds of years.. who knows?... but I would be supremly surprised if they found one in my overdeveloped state!!!!!

[chiye tanka]

I used to be involved with a group that conducts expeditions around the North America. They have reports from all over N.A.

Lord knows what will get checked in.
Years ago, I knew an idiot named Randall Swaney. His father was the Manager at Massanutten Ski resort. The old man actually wore safari clothes....anyway, Randall wanted to fit in with the locals and deer hunt. He built a tree tand that looked more like a house.

On opening day, he shot a Billy Goat that wandered by to get some of the corn he'd been putting out by the bag.

NOW THIS IS IN VIRGINIA and this moron was convinced he had shot a Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep. He even tried to check it in:clap:

His father ordered the Chef at the Resort to cook it and I understand it didn't taste anything like chicken.

[trax]

I was talking to bigfoot and he said that's not him in the photo, that's his neighbor hairya$$

[pocomoonskyeyes]

Best be careful poco,that pick was taken down your way!

Ok so say there is a Bigfoot... Just for a minute.... How many people have ever been attacked by one? If there really are Sasquatches(Not saying there Ain't), but if there are,just how many people have been attacked by one????

I agree with Chiye Tanka there's a lot of Deer but how many hunters see one every time they go out,or an even better example is Black Bear.I've been in places where I KNOW there are Black Bear but have NEVER seen one in the wild.

[doug1980]

I could care less whether they are real or not. Really don't have a use for one so I don't care if it ever gets confirmed. Unless they have the cure for some of our diseases, which they wouldn't, why bother. If they are out there than great if not oh well. They are probably just a bunch of mountain men that have been up there waaaaaaay too long. :)

Tom Brown jr. did, in one of his books admit to getting mad at some hikers and covering himself in mud and leaves then when it was dark run in tearing stuff up. They thought it was the "Jersey Devil"!!!

[Rick]

http://www.clipartheaven.com/clipart/signs/kaboom!.gif

Hiker1: "Oh, Man! What did you do?"
Hiker2: "I just shot the Jersey Devil!!!"
Hiker1: "You moron! That was Tom Brown covered in leaves and mud."
Hiker2: "Ooooooooh. My bad then."

[trax]

I could care less whether they are real or not. Really don't have a use for one so I don't care if it ever gets confirmed. ..... why bother.

See it's that kind of cold-hearted indifference that keeps the big hairy fellas hiding back in the woods, they're sensitive man, sensitive. Well, that and getting shot at by people who mistake them for Tom Brown Jr covered in mud and leaves.


(I came home from the forest covered in mud and leaves once, but that's not a story for a family-rated forum)

I was once. It was after leaving the White Pig Tavern (affectionately known as the albino swino) in Bremerton, Washington. I think alcohol may have been involved.

[Sarge47]

A few years back I decided to heckle the Bigfoot lovers by going to the main Website: "The Bigfoot Field Research Center" and really yank their chain! 1st, in their FAQ area, somebody asked "why hasn't a Bigfoot been shot by accident by hunters?" Their answer was really stupid as they said that: "Hunters are very careful about what they aim at and shoot. They are very specific about their targets." (You can chime in on this one, Ken.) Another Bigfoot report said that HUGE feetprints were found by the 4th tee of some golf course, but only around the Tee area; no tracks leading up to it, none leading away. I asked if their had been any reports of a large, hairy, 7 foot golfer driving around the golf course in a golf cart that day yelling "FORE!" in a loud, gutteral voice. No answer. But they really came out of the wood work over the Rant Mullens report!(http://www.csicop.org/si/show/bigfoot_at_50_evaluating_a_half-century_of_bigfoot_evidence)Here's part of it:
Hoaxes, the Gold Standard, and the Problem of Experts

Such hoaxes have permanently and irreparably contaminated Bigfoot research. Skeptics have long pointed this out, and many Bigfoot researchers freely admit that their field is rife with fraud. This highlights a basic problem underlying all Bigfoot research: the lack of a standard measure. For example, we know what a bear track looks like; if we find a track that we suspect was left by a bear, we can compare it to one we know was left by a bear. But there are no undisputed Bigfoot specimens by which to compare new evidence. New Bigfoot tracks that don't look like older samples are generally not taken as proof that one (or both) sets are fakes, but instead that the new tracks are simply from a different Bigfoot, or from a different species or family. This unscientific lack of falsifiability plagues other areas of Bigfoot research as well.
Bigfoot print hoaxing is a time-honored cottage industry. Dozens of people have admitted making Bigfoot prints. One man, Rant Mullens, revealed in 1982 that he and friends had carved giant Bigfoot tracks and used them to fake footprints as far back as 1930 (Dennett 1996). In modern times it is easier to get Bigfoot tracks. With the advent of the World Wide Web and online auctions, anyone in the world can buy a cast of an alleged Bigfoot print and presumably make tracks that would very closely match tracks accepted by some as authentic."

The BFRO also hate this magazine:

However, this photo of Bigfoot was NOT out of focus!

I just called Bigfoot's office but they wouldn't let me talk to him. They said he was "in a meeting". Right. They did take my number and said "someone" would call me back. I said someone? I want some THING to call me back at which point she hung up on me.

[Rick]

I know where he plays golf. I think I'll catch him on the course and get a photo for you guys.

[Sarge47]

Olay boys & girls, here's the 411: You CANNOT, by any stretch of the imagination, call an Alien Spacecraft a UFO...here's why!

1st...the term, UFO is the initials meaning "Unidentified Flying Object." That can be ANY object that flies & hasn't yet been identified: An airliner, a Sea-gull, a Box-Kite, a run-away helium balloon, etc..

2nd...Once you've identified it it becomes an IFO, or, an Identified Flying Object.

3rd...if you've labeled a UFO as an Alien Spacecraft it is no longer UNIDENTIFIED, but rather, IDENTIFIED AS AN "ALIEN SPACECRAFT!" Dig?

4th...you CAN call an "alien spacecraft an IFO, but to call it a UFO AFTER you've labeled it as an Alien Spacecraft is an "Oxy-Moron!" Clear? :innocent:

[chiye tanka]

Here's an odd fact, and Ken, please look it up for me to see if it is still there.

In California, it is illegal to kill a bigfoot. There is a fine and jail time.
The funny part is that Cali doesn't acknowledge that the big hairy fellow is real.

[rwc1969]

I believe in Bigfoot!

My cousins and I encountered one firsthand in my uncles' woods while camping one night. I think I was 10.

After a long day of hunting, with BB guns, as the campfire diminished, we all settled into our tents for the night. About 3 in the morning my older cousin woke me. He heard a strange noise at the edge of the woods where they met the cornfield. He said "look out there", "what is that?". The bright moonlight clearly outlined an ominous silhouete, a large slumped over figure with a huge furry head walking along the edge. It was bellowing some extremely bizarre drawn out grunts in a rhythmic fashion. They were very low and deep. You could almost feel them in your chest. The figure slowly passed by us then disappeared under the horizon about 100 yards away.

A few moments later there was a large crashing sound of tree branches and brush breaking. The moon clearly lit the cornfield, but the woods were pitch black. But, it was obvious the figure had now entered the woods. It moved parallel to us and the movement and grunts slowed, as if it had noticed the campfire and was confused or intrigued by the fire...or us?? It was checking us out!

After a brief quiet spell the grunts quickened and became much more excited. The figure, now invisible in the dark woods, began moving toward us at an alarming rate. We immediately woke the rest of the group. We were all freaking out!

By then the creature was easily within 100 yards of the camp and approaching fast. Everyone freaked as we heard the growls and busting tree branches. It sounded like trees were being uprooted and tossed aside. They all grabbed up their bb guns, and as fast as they could pump started unloading in the direction of the beast. I warned em this was just pissing it off. Every shot further aggravated the beast as the grunts/ growls became even more excited and it's speed toward us increased.

I looked down and in the campfire were some torches we crafted earlier before bed. Some were still burning good, so I grabbed the biggest, most solid one up and suggested they do the same. "Maybe it's afraid of fire!" I screamed! "Grab the torches!" They ignored me!

Obviously this thing is big, furry and animal like. Maybe it's afraid of fire, and if not maybe I can light it up or club it. My plan, which I didn't have much time to come up with, was to smash it in the face with the club/ torch and run. One of the other group would get attacked first as they were in front of me and agitating the beast with the guns. Since they ignored my suggestion I had little pity for them. Thoughts of self preservation had set in. Let it get it's hooks in one of them, smash it in the eyes and face with the torch, to blind it, run like hell and don't look back.

Just as the creature began to appear in the light of the campfire and torchlight the growling stopped. Actually, it changed... from a growl... to a hysterical laugh. It was my drunk uncle, dressed in a thick, buckskin, fur hooded winter coat carrying an empty 5 gallon bucket with a bow rosin coated rope strung thru the middle of it. By then, everyone was so freaked out they just kept shootin him. I almost lit him up too.

Eventually the shooting and frantic pumping action of bb guns subsided. All that was left were the pants, cries, yelling, and my uncles laughter. My one cousin peed his pants, the youngest was inside the now collapsed tent in a state of severe mental trauma, and everyone else was just *****in out my drunk uncle for scaring the sheet out of us all.

Now I know why he didn't let us take the .22's.:sneaky2: He's lucky we didn't sneak em in like we had planned cuz we'd a been eatin roast bigfoot for breakfast. Ya, I believe in Bigfoot! He had real big feet, 6'6" tall with a big furry head and a growl that could only be made by alcohol induced hillbilly ingenuity. Pulling on that rosined up rope made the most wicked sound I've ever heard.

That's one of the best Bigfoot stories I've ever heard!! Thanks for sharing. I almost didn't read it thinking it was something else entirely!!

[crashdive123]

Good story rcw.

[Sarge47]

That was great rwc! It also shows both motivation for some folks faking BF encounters & how people can be fooled! Loved it! :cool2:

You ever watch Congress in session? :innocent:

[Rick]

Nell asked me to see what I could do with the original photo. I blew it up and changed some parameters on it. It looks like bigfoot might be a bow hunter in a ghillie suit.

Well, I agree that digression is advised.
Found this out while hunting werewolves with silver bullets.

Seems that most of them, when they changed back, were some one I knew?

That's always the way it goes alright. In fact, it's probably a good idea to go ahead and shoot some folks before they turn into werewolves,:sneaky2: sort of a pre-emptive thing, avoid all that carnage and destruction they're going to create. Of course, you have to be really, really sure that they're going to turn into werewolves right?:innocent:

[hunter63]

And it wouldn't be good to knock off the Geico cave man, we would be stuck with the lizard and the pile of bills w/the eye balls.

[Sarge47]

It's the Zombies ya gotta watch out for...hey...weren't they a '60s rock group? :innocent:

[nell67]

Thanks Rick,I thought so as well,but I don't have the patients to learn how to manipulate photos!

[pocomoonskyeyes]

Ok here is what I managed to do with Rick's photo edited picture. I did some editing of my own and this is bout as good as I can get it.

I'm not sure where it is but it looks like a bear to me

I took one of my bear pictures and added a Gaussian blur. Looks a lot like it. A black blob:smash:

Well you can tell that the sun is almost directly overhead(no shadows), Except for where "Bigfoot" is, looks like a clouds shadow. But it appears that the rump fur is shiny and you can see the glistening effect depicting roundness (like a bears rump) You can almost make out the head too,and ears. I say This Bigfoot is a Black Bear!!

[Ken]

Maybe it's "Bugfoot" - not "Bigfoot." :innocent:

Well, if Bigfoot is around when I go camping or things go bad, he bettter have his own rations 'cause I don't have enough for us both; and I don't plan to let him sleep in my tent.

http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt61/pocomoonskyeyes/bigfoot1-1.jpgYep, definately a Black Bear. Ok, here's the thing, everybody who owns a camera & knows how to set it on "auto" raise your paw...er...I mean hand! Let's face it, with the camera tech we have today the only way hou can make a shot that bad is on prupose! Penn & Teller, on their Show Time series: "Bull$hit," faked a BF sighting, complete with photos. They were approached by some top name BF groups who told them they could make a ton of money without having to prove that the photos were authentic! Motive #2: $$$$.:cool2:

[Sarge47]

How many of you Wolf_pack members would shoot a BF if you saw what you thought was one in the woods? :sneaky2:

You guys just wanted to be alone in the woods with the chick & a couple of cases of beer! Yeah, honest, we found this big-a$$ footprint...um-hmm! :online2long:

[NightShade]

How many of you Wolf_pack members would shoot a BF if you saw what you thought was one in the woods? :sneaky2:

Well I'm not a wolf pack member..... But I sure as hell wouldn't shoot something I "thought" was a bigfoot... try explaning that to a game warden.....
"Sir, I swear, I thought he was Bigfoot!!"
"How much you had to drink today son?"

[pocomoonskyeyes]

I most definitely would NOT unless it was a matter of self defense.

NS you are a member of the wolf pack you're here aren't you? Think about it, a wolf pack is a family group, the Forum is like a loose knit family right?.....Right?? I didn't get it at first, until a troll or two got ripped to shreds..... It was NOT a pretty sight.

ahhh ok.. thanks Poco for clearing that up... I thought it was a social group or something

[canid]

my camera seems to be completely unwilling to take focused pictures of animals.

my last sierra foothill hike pictures are almost all decent, except for the coyotes and deer. they are vague blurrs that could be rocks, spaceships or hammerhead sharks.

Now that picture may be worth some money! LOL:innocent:
