    Question Huh?

    Was that a question? Yes I have and since I don't know what it is I DO keep my options open. That's why I don't buy into the groups like BFRO and others. One lady reported a Sasquatch/BF visiting her on occaision and said he could talk English in a low, gutteral voice and would converse with her on a social level.. My problem is that I look through things logically and all the Hoopla, while apparently desired to be true by some, is very Illogical. Here's the "nut-shell" version.

    In 50 years of reported sightings no one has:
    a.) Figured out to use the "Auto-focus" feature or their power-zoom lens
    on their cameras; hence all the "bad" camera shots.

    b.) Found one BF Corpse. Either dead of Old age or Road-kill.

    c.) Admitted the confessions of self-admitted "hoaxers", which, BTW are
    ignored by the BF "groupies".

    D.) Does BF "poop" in the woods? Not one trace of BF scat reported.
    No DNA evidence of any kind.

    Now I have an Open mind, also an IQ a bit larger than my shoe-size. It "Could" be the Sasquatch character that many are desperately hoping for,(which some claim is actually an Alien creature from a UFO) or some other animal, or more "Hoaxers". Maybe even my "Hairy Hippy", which is equally as absurd as some of the reports I've read. My point is: we DON'T know, so let's knock off the silly stuff. I've put my judgement on hold, all the way around, until solid evidence is laid out in front of me.

    Hell I dated her for a time, way back in my young and dumb days. Connie had mens size 14 shoes. Bigest feet I ever did see. Great dancer.

I do not CARE one way or the other.. I just love to hear something in the woods and ...GO... did ..you ..hear.. that !!!

Why don't we have one accidently shot by an overzealous deer hunter, or hit by a car, semi, train or something? I say somebody put up a $50,000 dollar bounty on one and see what happens! It's probably just Bear Grills in his bear costume again. Notice these facts are prevalant in any sighting. All camera shots are "out of focus". All video shots are shaky.(Anybody ever hear of a "Steady Cam?") I saw & heard several reports where people claimed their otherwise ferocious dogs cowered in fear and that they don't know anything that would make them do that. Well I hate to burst their bubble but I met a "dog trainer" that accomplished the same thing shaking an empty pop-can with about 50 pennies in it. The dogs hated the sound and backed down.

    Cool Agreed...

    However that does not mean that we need to "jump to the conclusion" that it belongs to a 9' creature that leaves huge footprints. BTW, a lot of the "so-called" fur has been analyzed and found to be POLYESTER fibers. Some people are actually creating evidence to support there desired belief. Penn & Teller did a really great expose of some of the lengths these so-called "Crypto-Zoo-ologists" go through to "prove" their" theory on their series: "Bull Sh*T". Bring me DNA evidence and I'll start listening. We don't have any! Not one trace of Scat! Not one case of them being tracked to their lair by some of the best trackers around. Not one of them ever found dead on the road, or anywhere else for that matter. We do have people like Rance Mullens who admitted to faking footprints. Others who have admitted to throwing rocks onto the roofs of buildings. and don't even get me started on the "Patterson footage." I need to see a BF body, then we'll go from there; otherwise it's all conjecture. You prove the existence of any new species by producing solid evidence, not merely opinions.

    If there were a bigfoot, what would it be?

    A big ape (gorilla) that evolved on the north american continent?

    Or a neanderthal that escaped extinction?

    Or a giant ground sloth that was mistakenly identified (This did/do exist).

    I think it is possible for both things to have existed in the past (hundreds of years ago), but not anymore. We would have seen one by now or they would have all been killed off. A yeti, I hold out hope for.

    If the original costume is gone, why can't they make an identical costume and do it again? Why is that so hard?
    Why does the news media always trumpet every half-baked "man in the costume" story that comes along without asking for the obvious proof, which should be so simple to provide?

    The size of a creature like big foot would mean that it would be foraging 90% of its time, need a cave or den bigger than a wolf, about bear size. No one has a clear picture, cear video, scat, hair clumps, or other conclusive evidence. Only haphazard pics and blurry video's, thus I say big foot is fake. But is Big foot the same as Sasquatch? In my native culture they are different, as is the wendigo which is covered by every native american culture and still believed in to this day with physical proof.

    Sarge regarding your question, "Does Bf "poop" in the woods? Not one trace of BF scat reported."

    Their feces are sausage-shaped, up to 4" inches in diameter and up to three feet long, forming a folded heap. They are replete with numerous intestinal parasites, including hook worms, as well as small bones, hair of prey and ample vegetal matter. A sasquatch has been observed to wipe itself with its hand and lick its fingers briefly, a decidedly simian gesture.

    MedicineWolf; Bigfoot was a journalistic term for Sasquatch generated in the middle of the last century during a rash of sightings in Northern California; its use is not unreasonable since the species has proportionally much bigger feet than those of human beings and, furthermore, the word has come to be recognized widely. Myself I don't like the term, Bigfoot.

    Because science has dismissed big foot as a hoaxs and science is not exact I wonder if they have discovered bones but have misrepresented them as neanderthal or ape. Science has done great thingd but is also the biggest hustle on the planet that is why they are so secretive. Maybe the varmits drag the bones of like they do most other animal remains, coyotes don't leave much .

    I disagree, Sasquatch is a Native American term if I am correct, and has been around since the white an came into contact with them. In northern Wisconsin, Lakota Indians know the creature by the name Chiye-tanka, a Lakota name for "Big Elder Brother"[

    There is no greater solitude than that of the Tracker in the forest, unless perhaps it's that of the wolf in the wilderness.

    many scientists believe bigfoot, if he exists, is a reminant of the species gigantopithecus which was a giant hominid. They have found bones of gigantopithecus that have been dated to only 100 thousand years ago

    ive heard that theory amoung others... such as there are in fact an entire population of bigfoots... lol @ that
    further, some ppl believe that he or that group is or are ancestors of ancient indians that have evolved in an odd way
    others think there is a few guys who live in the northwest who pop up every now and again and scare the daylights outta ppl
    well then... wat i hafta say about bigfoot relating to outdoor survival... thats a lot of meat to cook!
