I think Bigfoot could possibly exist or more likely use to exist. Some of the Native American tribes have old stories and legions about the ape like creatures. If there were never any big apes in North America I think it would be unlikely though not impossible for them to come up with such stories. But I don’t believe everything I hear.
well I don't belive the bigfoot thing at all. That's just what my friend told me.
Heh yea i guess you're rightQuote:

i also have a friend who swares on his life he saw a bigfoot , hes not the kind to be scared easy so i belive him,
I was in my tree stand bow hunting several years ago when a medium sized Black Bear decided to join me. I heard something under me and realized it was bark comming off the tree I was in. I slowly looked down and there was the bears head about four feet below the platform of my stand. we stared at each other for a few seconds, (seemed like two days) then it slid down the tree and ran away. I killed a bear from that stand the next year and have always wondered if it was the same one.
I don't believe that Bigfoot exists in the sense that the Bigfoot groups would have us believe. We've had Bigfoot reports for over 50 years and guess what? No Bigfoot road kill, no Bigfoot scat, No Bigfoot fur, no in-focus camera &/or video shots, and a whole bunch of people 'fessing up to helping perpetrate a hoax. I suggest some rich person put a $50.000 bounty on a Bigfoot, dead or alive! See if some hunter can bring one down! Did any of you see Penn & Teller's show (Bulls*it) on Bigfoot? There's more evidence against than for.
ya I agree he is fake.
I once had an ongoing dialouge with the head of the B.F.R.O. (Bigfoot Field Research Organization) via e-mail over some of the problems I had with many of their statements. Bottom line, put these guys right next to the U.F.O. nuts. One of their answers they published at that time was in answer to the question: "If Bigfoot exists why hasn't anybody shot one, if not on purpose, then by accident?" Their answer was totally assinine. They claimed that deer hunters were very very careful on the hunt and would only shoot at what was a sure target......what planet were these guys talking about? Where ever I've been I've talked to farmers and ranchers who have a lot of livestock killed by deer hunters firing at anything over a foot tall that vaugely resembles any kind of wild animal.Quote:

I've been spooked a few times up in the mountains across the street. Re named Hanging Rock to Spooky mountain, that mountain has eyes.
I got into quicksand myself back when I was about 18. I was fishing with some friends and they moved downriver quite a bit and couldn't hear me yell. It got up to my chest in about a second. Thankfully I remained calm and remembered my boy scout training. I didn't have a stick but I was able to "float" and move slowly until I could grab some tall grass that was growing near by and pull myself out.Quote:

A wolverine, now that's scary. They're one of the only animals that instictivly hate man! Seem to get along with the Bigfoot though. :>)Quote:

I looked out the back window and nothing was there, we drove off really quickly (after finishing of course :D) and at a parking lot there was dent in the sidewall of the bed about the size of trash can. Never found out what it was.
2. Was out hunting with my trusty longbow, follwing some fresh buck tracks along the banks of the Great Miami River, crested the bank that was about 8feet high and watching the forest was a poacher in a tree stand holding a scoped rifle (there is no rifle hunting in Ohio). I slowly backed down the bank and made my way back to my car retrieved my duty weapon (S&W .40 cal handgun.) Called the game warden his names Mike Scerio in my county and went back to the river bank and came up in my same spot along the bank, stalked under the treestand and pointed my gun up my badge was now on my belt, and said. If you move the muzzle of that gun I'll shoot you, your under arrest for poaching. I held him there until Mike came and he was arrested for poaching. Now this all happened on the 280 acre farm I do land management for. He had been caught before for poaching and at his truck was another rifle and a shotgun under the seat, in the back was Doe he had shot earlier and just lay there. Mike impounded the weapons and guns and gave me the guy's treestand. :D True story I swear.
Wolverines are highly over-rated, the only truly nasty thing about them is they have a vicious attitude, but so do badgers. Wolverines are one of the few predators I've seen that will intentionally waste game, they'll destroy animals in a trappers traps.Quote:

Why he must be the most dangerous animal on the planet!
Anyone saying that his pants are too puncture proof for a wolverine's fangs, though...bs. Unless he's wearing medieval armor maybe, yeah lot of people choose that for bushwear. Anyone throwing darts, trying to use a pellet gun, etc....give your head a shake. And why would someone be carrying a flare gun and not a regular firearm, just shoot the friggin' thing. He said it happened in a clearing right? If he'd stood still the wolverine would have ran away.
Scariest thing that ever happened to me was I was paddling up a river that was a short distance from the highway and running parallel to the highway. Bunch of "highway hunters' all spotted the same moose and opened fire on it, it was like a battlefield. Me and my partner were doubled over trying to stay as low as possible paddling the hell outta there, could both hear ( I mean the whiz of the bullet not the bang) and feel the bullets flying past us. We were just lucky that neither of us nor the canoe got shot.
Throwing darts at a wolverine.... lol... damn thats just frigg'n stupid! Like I said I don't believe this story execpt for entertainment value, karate kick'n dart throw'n wolverine killer! lol... Now, one time at band camp... lol.
(John Wayne Voice) Well, I'd say he's tougher than a "frog-licker" or a "spelunking farter" any day of the week!Quote:

It has a thick body, short legs, short ears, and a broad flat head. The wolverine is primarily a scavenger and has large teeth and powerful jaws to crush bones and eat frozen meat. Adult males generally weigh 20-45 pounds (9-20 kg) while adult females weigh 15-30 pounds (7-14 kg). Its non-retractile claws are long and curved.
Wolverines are primarily found in the wilder and more remote areas of Alaska. They are solitary creatures throughout most of the year. Wolverines are active at any time of day, year round. They have tremendous physical endurance and can travel up to 40 miles a day in search of food. Because of their great endurance and strength, wolverines have become a center of folklore. However, its fierce reputation has often been exaggerated. They have been known to steal furbearers from traps and to damage cabins, but these tales can normally be traced to individuals in some situations and not to the species as a whole. Wolverines will rarely attack any predator larger than itself, like a wolf or a bear. Instead, they will try to avoid these animals. Wolverines will fiercely defend a food source or its territory against other wolverines or smaller predators.
cut n paste here.
Where I use to do most of my hunting and fishing on Ft. Hod TX they got free roaming cattle( read wild) a big cow with pointy 3ft. horns on each side of her head ran up on my dogs and then spun around to face me and my back was to a big tree and no where to go I waved a litle white rag I had in my hand and in a voice I didn/t know I could get that high I yelled haaa and the cow spoked and ran of can't ever tel what a cow is going to do.
