Just curious. Lifelong interest. So many great tales are out there.
Mentioned this a couple weeks ago to a buddy who enjoys the Great Outdoors immensely. He said he actually did see one in Florida. They call them Skunk Apes down there.
He and a fishing buddy saw one in the headlights at night. Convincing parts of the story were they continued driving for two hours with neither saying a word. He said neither said anything about it for the next two days, and as they were getting ready to part company and go back to their normal lives, the other guy said "We really did see that, didn't we?" To which my buddy replied "Yeah, we really did." And that was where the conversation ended.
For what I have read, that is often a typical reaction.

There is no such thing as bigfoot , any creature needs a viable population to survive , and a viable population means we would have photographic evidence that bigfoot actually exists .
Oh , his name is Darrell :grin:

bigFoot-STILL the world's hide and seek champion

:laugh: :bow:
A few years ago 3 bubbas from NE Oklahoma decided to go bigfoot hunting (true story) . One of them saw bigfoot and shot and killed the poor creature , only it turned out to be one of his buddies . The remaining two panicked , and left the area . A reporter was trying to get Scott Walton , the sheriff in that county to comment on the veracity of the bigfoot sightings in his area . Scott , in his deadpan manner looked into the camera and said "there is no such ting as bigfoot" :rolleyes:

Ok- here's my contribution.
My Uncle Norman (veteran of Berlin Airlift, posted a thread here about taking him for a drive in a Model T last fall just before his 90th birthday) died 3 wks ago. He spent his career as a geologist with the USGS and was a serious amatuer astronomer with multiple big telescopes that cost as much as a new Guzzi. After retirement, he spent 30+ yrs in Roswell, NM. Once there, he spent 20 yrs as a nearly full time lead volunteer at the UFO Museum..... So he had lots of answers for many such things. Completely serious when it came to UFOs, aliens, Bigfoot, etc. No gags or BS.
According to Uncle Norm, the bigfoot population exists in a parallel dimension and are only present to be seen in our world when there is an inter-dimensional disturbance that allows them to briefly pass into our dimension. Because these disturbances are temporary, they cannot stay in our dimension and are returned to their dimension as soon as inter-dimensional balance is restored. He was completely serious about this explanation and explained that once we understand how to travel differently across space, time and dimensions that we will finally be able to know more about other life forms like Bigfoot and "little gray men."
The other part of the story, which is more rational. Before we met, my wife lived year round in a tent in the woods in East TN for four years. She was used to everything going bump in the night around her tent, from opossums & deer to coyotes & black bears. She said one night, all the typical noises stopped except for something large walking. Whatever it was walked closely past her tent. It was upright & tall enough to cast a shadow down onto the tent (her beloved VW camper canvas tent). No drama, but not normal and odd enough that the animals around her tent responded to it by going silent which tends to be a defensive/self-preservation behavior. After it walked out of earshot, the regular night noises resumed. She doesn't think it was a friend playing a gag and doesn't know what it was, other than it was very large and very real.
When she told him the story, Uncle Norm said "yup, that was a Bigfoot. You were lucky to be in the right place at the right time,"
We already miss Uncle Norman and having him next door.

My pit bull rescue has big feet. Her name is Bisbee but I almost called her Bigfoot. So yes, they do exist. 😀😀😀

I didn't believe in bigfoot till I saw one.
Sadly, it was parading as my ex-mother in law.....

My brother-in-law is from SE Okla. He said his cousin saw one and it really changed him in so far as his love for the outdoors. He lives in Honobia OK. I took a ride through there at one of the Okla Camp Outs.
Here's proof of me being there.

That's an "official" sign. And they have a Bigfoot Festival in the fall.
It must be true. :blank:

North Georgia mountains are all ate up with these pesky bigfoot pecker-heads running through campsites in the middle of the night..

Lol! There is a Army ranger mountain training camp in Dahlonega (I can never speel it write!) that my father attended. One of the survival exercises is the fly you into a desolate area at night, drop you off, (rappel actually) and you have to make your way back. I didn’t really believe it till one night we were camping at Frank Gross campground close to the fish hatchery. As was described, wildlife and bugs got quiet. We heard large creatures moving in the forest. Then splashing in the creek. Then swearing!!! A half dozen rangers passed by our campsite on their way to rtb. Unfortunately logic ruins everything. Still was a great experience.

This may not be as far fetched as it sounds if the multiverse theory turns out to be right :wink:

Good grief , can you imagine what it must be like for the poor creatures in that other universe when the window between ours and theirs opens and they can see all of us :shocked: Guessing those poor inhabitants of that other plane tell horror stories about this plane .

Great responses so far. Thanks to all!!!
Cliffrod, TN is loaded with Bigfoot stories. Your wife is not alone. Your wife might appreciate these Youtube audio files:
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=50+years+with+bigfoot%2C+part+1
Your Uncle Norman was also not alone. I would have loved to have known him and engaged him in some long discussions. This book is one of my favorites, in terms of a Bigfoot primer book that hits all the Theories (including his theories):
https://www.amazon.com/Locals-Thom-Powell/dp/0888395523
IMO, the most convincing books are, perhaps the David Paulides books, and the Habituation reports.
https://www.amazon.com/David-Paulides/e/B002ALI9AA%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share
Probably less than a 1% chance that Bigfoot really does exist, but if they do exist, the world is a better place, IMO.
We all know that most people are nuts in some way, and we all have very active imaginations.
Also the human mind's capacity for self-delusion appears infinite.
Hell, if did not already know that any idea that any human can express should be taken with a huge grain of salt, then accessing the internet should remove all doubt.
Still fascinates me, especially since most humans never venture more than a few thousand yards from pavement and are so very certain that the world is not more than they have experienced to date.
I WANT TO BELIEVE!

Ask Shorty about the discussion we had at the Okie with the numpty telling us how his sister's motorhome was almost turned over by a bigfoot .
One question , do the Keebler elves exist in that same plane as bigfoot ?

Honobia = Hoe-Nobie (spoken language)
They do a Bigfoot Festival there every other Fall. I rode to the Festival during the Okie Rally. I was disappointed that no one thought it was for real. That's despite what my brother-in-law told me. :sad:
I had another photo from a friend in Colorado. It was tracks in the snow in his yard. The tracks were paced at 4 1/2 to 5 feet! Of course I checked my phone and it's gone. (That Bigfoot is crafty man. :grin:)
What Dusty says makes logical sense. And what uncle Norm says is nuts. OTOH, folks say they see the things. Hard to reconcile. I do think my b-i-l believes it and he believes his cousin. And when you drive there you'll see the sign and can go to the festival. Also, they did a movie about it over the border titled "The Legend of Boggy Creek".
Despite being logically silly, people say they see it. And those tracks in the snow were pretty strange. Wish I had the photo. I'll call my buddy and see if he still has it.

Some folks actually believe they owned a 1974 Z1 Kawasaki that would do 150 MPH , do you believe them ? Or how about the guy who claims his uncle Bob had an Indian Super Warrior Chief that he rode back and forth from OKC to LA every weekend for 10 years and never had to do a thing to it ? The 200 MPH Road Runner ? The Elvis Harley ? Any takers ?

I WANT TO BELIEVE!
Well, my wife and I are more in the camp of Dusty & Lannis than Uncle Norm. She said that her experience was very odd. she's not a joker, flighty or stupid. She said it seemed too big to be a bear and the others at the camp knew better than to toy with her. Didn't know what it was, only that is was very atypical.
Norm was kinda out there, to say the least. Pretty hard to believe a large living organism (especially sexual, thus needing physically mature male & female organisms to reproduce) exists as a viable population with no remnant physical evidence like scat, bones, feeding, bedding or birthing sites, etc. Big biological things are an accumulation or repository of protein which doesn't happen quickly. Wrinkles or tears in time + big hairy creatures + ?? is way too Dr Who for me. Maybe it's true, but it sounds more ridiculous & convenient than plausible compared to the reality that we know and can demonstrate.
There was a show about a well known (non-Bigfoot) incident around 1990 that I'll leave unnamed to avoid wicked thread drift and other problems. One of the authorities being interviewed on camera said they had access to military satellites with thermal imaging capacity so "we can see everything alive on that mountain- every coyote, every deer and every person". That was decades ago. If Bigfoot was hanging out, it shouldn't be a big deal to find one or lots of them with such technology now. The technological capacity people have now with phones and civilian versions of military equipment are significant as well. Real Bigfoot evidence would be on the web asap. But it isn't.
I never watched or bought into the X Files or such stuff. No matter, The Roswell incident seems far more plausible, especially the investigation by Randle & his book that was published around 89-90. By comparison, the govt and military aren't working too hard to keep Bigfoot under wraps.

Dusty,
There is absolutely no accounting for taste, or what humans are capable of believing. We will avoid the variety of R-words. :wink:

Cliffrod,
IMO, claiming certainty one way or the other takes the wonderment out of it, which takes the fun out of it. KUDOS to Uncle Norm for still having a sense of wonder at nature and the unknown even into his senior years.
As the old saying goes, "Disagreeing with someone about politics or religion is like saying their wife is ugly or their children are stupid."
Interesting phenomena, especially when it is so widespread, and when you read the reports of those who say "I've lived here all my life, spent 10's of thousands of hours in the woods, hunting, fishing, trapping and camping. For 50 years I told anyone who said they believed Bigfoot, existed that they are nuts. And then, one day, I saw one!"
Of course, the True Believers in the existence of Bigfoot have an answer for every possible objection. Like the defenders of other beliefs, they practice a lot.
Always reminds me of what Edward Leedskalnin was reported to have said when asked how he built Coral Castle. "If you read the books I have read, you will know what I know!"
True for us all!

I appreciate that Lowryter.
Interesting when you see a report that someone is out on horse back, miles from the nearest road, it is snowing and they encounter tracks that may go on for a considerable distance (sometimes a mile or more).
The observer says "Because it is snowing, these can't be more than 30 minutes old, and in 30 minutes they will be gone. "Who would come out here to do this much work to fake something that chances are no one will ever see?"

Once again , bigfoot only exists in the imagination of those who like to believe in , well , silly stuff . Have spent a lot of time in the deep woods of Eastern TX and Oklahoma , some truly rugged country . Have sighted bears , Elk , wild hogs , coyotes , what I think was probably a coywolf , and a couple of mountain lions . If Darrel is out there he is one shy fella , and his Mrs is even more reclusive .
As an aside , why are the imaginary sightings always identified as male ?

Who knows if it does/does not exist. Fact is, while people think we have figured everything out, what we know is miniscule. Every day, scientists, biologists, oceanographers, astronomers make new discoveries.

Once again , bigfoot only exists in the imagination of those who like to believe in , well , silly stuff . Have spent a lot of time in the deep woods of Eastern TX and Oklahoma , some truly rugged country . Have sighted bears , Elk , wild hogs , coyotes , what I think was probably a coywolf , and a couple of mountain lions . If Darrel is out there he is one shy fella , and his Mrs is even more reclusive .
As an aside , why are the imaginary sightings always identified as male ?
That's pretty obvious, the women bigfootfolk stay home at the cave with the youngins. Duh.

What breed dog is that, Dan? Looks a lot like a Bouvier that my folks had for many years. He was a great dog.
Giant schnauzer. He was a good boy. Died from cancer a couple years ago at 12 years old.

Is the Yeti a first or second cousin to the NA Bigfoot?
Does the Yeti feel offended if we call him the Abominable Snowman?
How do they stay in touch for family reunions?
Do Bigfoots believe in pre-arranged marriages?
Please find the answers to these questions at the next Bigfoot conference and report back to the rest of us!

Very cool. We always understood our dog was a giant schnauzer. Had him for a long time. Around the time he died, for some reason ma & dad decided he was a Bouvier. Either way, he was a great dog.

He was completely serious about this explanation and explained that once we understand how to travel differently across space, time and dimensions that we will finally be able to know more about other life forms like Bigfoot and "little gray men."
Quantum mechanics makes my head hurt.. but from what I understand, the math says this is possible. Dunno. <shrug>

I appreciate that Lowryter.
Interesting when you see a report that someone is out on horse back, miles from the nearest road, it is snowing and they encounter tracks that may go on for a considerable distance (sometimes a mile or more).
The observer says "Because it is snowing, these can't be more than 30 minutes old, and in 30 minutes they will be gone. "Who would come out here to do this much work to fake something that chances are no one will ever see?"
Two things. First, I lost the photo from my friends in Colorado. I do know the guy the runs the general store there is a believer. My buddy thinks it's kind of fun but the tracks in the snow really surprised him. He gets all kinds of muleys and bears in his yard but he's never seen these tracks before.
Next, Honobia in SE OK, OK Rally area, is about as remote a place that you might find anywhere. It really is away from any place and much further in those hilly woods. It's the place where "True Grit" was written. Heck, we've seen folks come into camp that were emaciated just from hiking the marked trail into the park. It's serious country in the Lower 48.

It's great that we have such experts here that matter of fact know there can't be a Bigfoot. I mean there are cranks all over the place that perpetuate this stuff. It's great that we have rational voices here.

A picture of a dead Bigfoot shot in the Cape Breton Highlands. The hunter ( Shotgun Murry ) claimed to have shot it, but after extensive research it is believed to have died from XXXXXX (unnameable)virus. He was already dead when the hunter shot him. It was also proven by the CBC NEWS that this was all President XXXXX (unnameable) fault. TRUE STORY ! I saw it on Facebook!

It is interesting to entertain the idea at least.
We seem to find “new” creatures all the time that were previously unknown especially of the aquatic variety.

Pranksters pull pranks , ask Delrod about the armadillos his friend was picking up in Texas and leaving in front of another guys house in Kansas . Or the Heavener runestones , the guy who actually created the runes admitted to doing so , and yet some want to believe they are proof that the vikings were in Oklahoma . Heck , there was a rumor started around Tahlequah that there was Spanish gold lost in a local river , except it was started by locals to encourage tourism .
I have a friend who is very quick witted , his coworkers have had him call family members and convince them of some crazy stuff .

Little as you think about what is real, could be real or no way it could be real, reasonable people use to say no way we are being visited by extraterrestrials. Just the other day it was announced on national television that the Pentagon has been authorized to start an investigation to determine if UFO’s are a threat to the military and the nation.

The military has not acknowledged that we have been visited by extraterrestrials. It has said that UFOs exist. UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Objects. So, the military has admitted that some flying things are unidentified objects.

Didn’t say anyone acknowledged we’d been visited by extraterrestrials, just that there are unexplained aerial objects in close proximity of our aircraft. However it does make one wonder what and how much they really know about the subject.

Those who have not seen one, and claim "they know they don't exist" or claim "they know they do exist," are merely expressing their personal beliefs. They have no database of a reality that they have not experienced. Their opinions say more about themselves then they say about the phenomena being discussed.

We had one down here in the 70s. It was technically not the BigFoot but a close cousin, the "MoMo" short for the Missouri Monster. The MoMo is most closely related to the Boggy Creek Monster and is smaller in stature than the BigFoot, and has a deep hatred of outhouses (privys). It is a nocturnal, exceedingly shy and normally gentle beast; has a huge round head as well as the same stench as a BigFoot. Anyone harmed by the MoMo only got hurt because they answered the call of nature in the wrong place at the wrong time... or if they angered the MoMo by unwarranted attack
The MoMo was last sighted on a rural road in Newton Co, MO doing jumping jacks and running through the woods, as witnessed by my friend Lanny Howe. Other sightings in the area were reported over several weeks and then its is as if the MoMo just vanished. Lanny later told me he had to sell the gorilla suit before someone shot him.

And for decades, the same govt has gone out of it's way to discredit anyone who has observed and reported a UFO. Ask any airline or military pilot about this.
The "Disclosure" topic has been discussed for decades. The last few years, the scuttlebutt is the powers that be think the general populace is now ready to not flip out if the reality of ET's are disclosed. The incubation process has supposedly been taking place for decades.

Dusty..could you create a new section of the forum called Fantasy Land where these threads can be collected?
Funny how everyone knows someone who heard from someone who's cousin or uncle or someone they spoke to seems to have had an experience and it becomes believable, two drunk guys looking at each other saying...did that really happen? Super scientific testing there!

Not at all goofy. I suspect it just means you are a much more spiritually sensitive person than most. Congrats.
Sounds a lot like a meditative state. You would be the person more likely to see a Bigfoot than others.
My wife and I often think the same. We have given up on trying to explain it to others many years ago.
Funny part is if you slightly re-phrased it and said "I went to church got real quiet, and then I spoke to an angel!" Some would be jealous, some would think you are insane. The belief of either, luckily, has no effect on your life.

No , this isn't about that at all . Bigfoot , or the belief in him/her is based on superstition . There has never been a scintilla of evidence produced that the creature exists .
Science is somewhat fluid in that it is always looking for any proof that might change a theorem , but that doesn't mean it isn't settled. Physicists have been attempting to prove Einstein was wrong for years , guess what , hasn't happened yet .
Think about this , we have fossil records and even skeletal remains of creatures that died millions of years ago , and yet there hasn't ever been even a tooth from a bigfoot found .

I agree with you. Keep an open mind. I will say, that Dusty's point that they couldn't exist due to genetic viability and assumed low population certainly makes a lot of sense. OTOH, I never took it seriously until I heard Dianne Fosse give it credence when she was interviewed by Terry Gross. Then I heard all these stories from my B-I-L, so who knows?

Dusty,
As I said previously, if you read enough on the subject, you will find that the believers can refute every doubt that has been expressed in this thread. The fact that the doubts are being raised is fine, but is also an indication that the person does not know that thought has been voiced before and responded to. I'm not going to bother to dispute each doubt, cause I am just enjoying the wonderment. Whether people doubt or believe, either way is fine with me.
It is a fascinating phenomena. Travel to some parts of the county, and the locals will say "Sure, they're out there. Everybody around here knows that. But why would we tell anyone? They won't believe it until they see it. And why would we want a lot of strangers tramping around our town and woods?"
Sometime reality exists outside of our preferences. Sometimes reality is highly localized. Not many Tornados in the mountain states.
I enjoy the late night talk shows that deal with this. The believer wants to sell their point of view so badly they can't shut up.
During the first four points, I find myself thinking "That is really interesting. There may be something there."
The next three points I think "Wow! You are really stretching the boundaries of credibility now!"
The last three points I am in full "This guy is a genuine nut case!" mode.
On the other hand, those early Z1 speedometers were wildly optimistic and inconsistent.
Believe what you will Dusty. Free will is a wonderful thing.
As the old saying goes "Where everyone thinks alike, no one thinks very much!"

To me, that seems the most reasonable perspective but then again, their comfort zone is their comfort zone.
I'm just sharing ideas. Not out to convert anyone to my church. Nothing in it for me other than enjoying the discussion.
Fossil record of Gigantopithecus exists. Serious scientists like Jeffery Meldrum and Jone Bindernagel have done research and are believers. No doubt both are smarter than I, and their study time exceeds my reading time by a factor of a thousand or more.
Experts are experts until the latest discoveries prove them wrong. Then they either adapt or become obsolete.
The habituation stories are the most interesting. Interaction between Bigfoots and the local people they know and trust is fascinating. David Paulides books are interesting. He is a former detective. Works with a forensic artist. Many Native Americans think Bigfoot is not an ape, but another species of human. The Bigfoot communicate with the elders, and the elders tell the young people "to stay out of the bog people's valleys."
In 50 Years with Bigfoot, the grandfather told his family the Bigfoot are people. They are the Edomites.
Who knows? Fun to wonder!

This all reminds me of a similar supernatural event that happened here in a small rural town years ago. The local pastor started getting all kinds of his parishioners seemingly believing in ghosts. After a couple of weeks of various reports of sightings , hauntings and all sorts of hysteria, the pastor brought it up at sunday service. He assured the community that there is no such thing as ghost. It's all a bunch of rumors and fear of the unknown and everyone should just forget about there being any such thing as ghosts. Then Margret Olsen stood up in the front and insisted she had heard ghostly sounds coming from her attic at night. Then Gary Evans stood up and insisted that he had actually seen ghosts in the cemetery one night. And then farmer John stood up and insisted he knows the're real because he had actually had relations with several of them. The pastor , ordered everyone to sit. He then asked the parish if they really expected him to believe that they had actually heard ,seen and god forbid, had relations with ghost?

It's one of my closest friends sending pictures of some shit in his yard. I texted him just to find these photos. Just to post them here. He went to the trouble to do it since you made a diva request. Get outta town man.
I don't fricking care what they look like. These weren't meant to prove a dang thang. Just that I had a friend that thought, "shit what the hell is this?" FIVE foot strides. He's heard about Bigfoot since moving there. He's got regular bears, Muleys and Mtn Linons everyday. Not this.

Actually, no, they can't. Not only can they not "refute" them, but they're nudging the doubts toward "certainty" with the attempts at "proof" ... :azn:
These discussions are fun, though. On the one hand, if the subject were something different, you'd have the "I Fu'ing Love Science" crowd establishing some phenomenon as an absolute, Settled Science certainty due to the Scientifity of Science.
On the subject of boogeymen, heffalumps, and woozles, however, Science is ALWAYS a living, open book, with many things we don't know, with small cracks and holes widening up to admit entire parallel universes where any childhood nightmare can exist.

On the subject of boogeymen, heffalumps, and woozles, however, Science is ALWAYS a living, open book, with many things we don't know, with small cracks and holes widening up to admit entire parallel universes where any childhood nightmare can exist.

It's one of my closest friends sending pictures of some shit in his yard. I texted him just to find these photos. Just to post them here. He went to the trouble to do it since you made a diva request. Get outta town man.
I don't fricking care what they look like. These weren't meant to prove a dang thang. Just that I had a friend that thought, "shit what the hell is this?" FIVE foot strides. He's heard about Bigfoot since moving there. He's got regular bears, Muleys and Mtn Linons everyday. Not this.
Geeeziz, I am not trying prove a flippin' thing. Just thought it would be fun. And BTW, my buddy has no idea what the hell these tracks are.
outta curiosity, where were the tracks seen? Please don't say "In the snow!" :laugh:

Exactly. Just like the R-word that can't be mentioned.
"My r_________ is real, the people who follow a different r_______ are wrong."
Whatever floats your boat, works for me.
Oddly enough, the r_______ one believes is often more strongly influenced by where one grew up and who raised you (local culture) than by objective, measurable reality.

We thought we were hearing Mrs Bigfoot in the backyard this morning , awful horrible racket , had to be a creature weighing several hundred lbs to make that much noise . Turns out it was our 22 lb Tri-Terrier of Doom trying to tear down the barricade I had built across the entry port under the house . He was mad , really mad , not kidding about it . Now he is hiding under my truck sulking . Maybe he had spotted a bigfoot baby going under the house , he does love him some babies :grin:

While the existence of Saquatch/Yeti/Bigfoot/etc has never been proven, many hirsute people and wildmen have been well documented. The bigfoot is just a hairy wildman sensationalized.
If I had a choice of which to confront on a dark night in the woods, I would definitely choose the shy Bigfoot over a feral human with murderous intent.

Keebler Elves - cookies are not great. Even girl scout cookies aren't what they used to be.
No body used butter, sugar, and eggs anymore. It's all made with oils, corn syrup, and Humectants.
Pepperidge Farms cookies are still okay.
Dusty, you won't be catching Bigfoot with Keebler cookies. You'll have to up your game.

Don’t laugh, if Lucian said it, it’s probably true. Now I’m LMAO. Aint this forum entertaining 🤔
Reminds me of a tale I heard of a meeting between local farmers and a young representative of a Federal wildlife management department. The wolves were re-introduced into the area years ago by this department and were now killing a lot sheep and goats.
The person from the wildlife department laid out a plan to hunt, tranquilize, and sterilize the male wolves. After about 30 minutes of presentation and discussion, an older farmer in the back raised his hand, stood up, and said "Son, I don't think you understand the problem. "The wolves ain't screwing our sheep, they're eating them!"
Supposedly everyone was laughing so hard, the meeting could not be resumed!

Your post assumes Ncdan is still alive and able to respond. Based on the highly contented look on the cat's face, Ncdan may very well be dead and part of his corpse consumed.
Much easier for a cat to drag part of a human corpse in to the house, than a whole human corpse.....

Some boys in Miami Oklahoma placed a stuffed lion along the shores of Grand Lake circa 1966 . Then they called the local sheriff's office and reported a lion sighting , which led to the OHP being called and animal control . The team surrounded the creature , animal control shot the lion multiple times with a tranq dart . Of course being stuffed , he just continued standing . After a few minutes one of the team couldn't contain himself anymore and broke out laughing , blowing the prank .

It's claimed that a tiger can blend into the jungle so well it becomes invisible. Workers in India traveling jungle paths got attacked by tigers.It always attacked from behind. The workers began wearing face like masks on the back of their heads...The tiger attacks stopped for awhile, but then slowly started again so the workers had to change their routines frequently .
The big solitary cats are the last of the true stalking land predators.They are magnificent powerful beasts and I believe we will all lose if their numbers are greatly reduced by hunting and human expansion..

Did anyone know that the longest continuous track and K9 accomplished was recorded 100 miles, it’s in the Guinness world book of records. Without looking it up does anyone know what the dog breed was?
And yes this goes with the Big Foot thread cause this dog could definitely track Mr Bigfoot if cited. 👍

Todd Standing has some pretty interesting footage, eyewitnesses and evidence. I think hes even taken BC (?) government (I think) to court to prove they exist. He must have some sort of evidence. He appears to be putting his money where his mouth is at any rate.

Lowryter,
Yes it is. But it is also an incredibly rich book in terms of politics, history, human nature, and the relationship between humans, animals, and economics.
IIRC, one of the spookier parts was the tiger did not actually track the hunter back to his cabin, but made a straight line cross country to his cabin. The speculation was, after the hunter failed to kill the tiger, the tiger picked up his scent at the scene of the hunt and cross referenced it to the scent of the hunter's cabin that the tiger had previously stored in his database.
We bought it on a lark in an Ollie's store. Went back and bought several more copies for friends. Will probably re-read again in a year or so.

That is one theory. From what I have read, most dogs won't come out from between their master's legs if a Bigfoot is in the vicinity. Some humans say it is due to the odor. Others speculate it is due to shear terror induced by infrasound. According to some stories, one of the indicators that a Bigfoot is near is the overwhelming desire to be back home safe in your bed. I've read more than a few accounts from life long hunters/fishermen/campers/hikers who have felt that and decide on the spot to give up going back into the woods for the rest of their lives.
The few dogs that will go near a Bigfoot usually get torn in half.
Excellent campfire stories. Believe it or not! :thumb:

You know, you'd think that would be a good strategy. If BigFeet are so stinky, you'd think that if you got a good tracking dog within 5 miles of one, or crossed his track anywhere in the woods, that the dog, or pack of dogs, would run him down.
And there are dogs who aren't scared of ANYthing. They'll track and tackle bears, big cats, mad violent criminals, anyone or anything. It's great, on the "real cop" shows, to see some PCP-boosted madman, shirtless and barefoot, in the street with a knife screaming for the cops to "come and get me" ... and they turn loose the dog, and the dude screams like a girl and runs away.
The mere fact that a DOG has never found one and dimed him out to his handler is a pretty good data point about their non-existence, not to mention no videos, no game cameras, no infrared ....

These are the Cottingly Fairies.
Arthur Conan Doyle, who was one of the most respected, most intelligent men of his age, wanted desperately to believe in "the supernatural". So much so that when those photos surfaced in 1917 or so, he immediately went all-in believing that they were real, that they couldn't possibly have been faked, and so did millions of others. He went to his grave believing that these little girls were surrounded by fairies in their garden ... when in fact the girls later admitted that they had posed some paper cutouts, done some double exposures, and had a big game with everyone.
Today, in the day of PhotoShop and fakes that are really hard to tell from the real thing, it seems incredible that people would have been snookered by these particular staged setups.
It all depends on how much you want to believe, or, in the present case, how much trouble and silliness you want to see if you can stir up on a forum by "playing" that you believe it! :grin:

With all due respect, I gotta call BS on you. I'm not as learned as some here, but I'm pretty sure WWI really happened! the Tri-Lateral Commission, the Illuminati, and the Bilderberger sponsored both sides. :wink:

Rusty Wilson's Montana Bigfoot Campfire Stories are pretty believable.
Some stories in Bigfoot Frightening Encounteres Vol. 11 by Tom Lyons really push the boundaries of credibility.
Since WildGuzzi has always struck me as a virtual, worldwide campfire, WildGuzzitistis will probably enjoy the former more than the later. Just sayin...... :laugh:

Dusty isn't questioning the reality of WW1, just some of the propaganda films made of aerial dog fights.
Same situation with the supposed lunar landing faked photos. Many of the photos were staged and re-taken in the Hangar on Calverton Long Island. According to my dad and grandfather who worked for Grumman and Hazeltine at the time, many of the photos came back over exposed and ruined and couldn't be used, so they reshot many for the 'public relations' I remember ovehearing them talking about it, and how mad Nasa and Grumman were, and in my retired NYC cop grandfather (Grumman was his post police career, 20 more years) how these 'freakin idiots could pilot a rocket to the moon but couldn't operate a f@*#!ng camera...... buncha morons'
I forgot about that until years ago when people started questioning the pictures and pointing out the fakes. Still makes me laugh.

2. Screw em, it they can't take a joke!
The Bigfoot subject is only half the fun, the other half is people's reactions. Almost always the reaction of the listener tells you more about the listener than about the subject matter. It's just the way we are wired.

Before artificial lighting , folks thought night time was filled with all sorts of creatures , goblins , bogeymen , chimeras , creatures that would eat you like popcorn . Many of today's nonsense stories are hold overs from those days .

Not only seen one but had a scrap w/one!
Malpias NM in a primitive campground was enjoying the solitude and one came thru. Guess he figured that I was encroaching on his territory and a fight ensued.
No blows landed but I just wore the big fellow out w/my fancy foot work and he just sat down on the ground as in he had enough.
He was about 6'8" 450# at least and a bit slow. I backed off about 20 yards and waited and after a few min he got up and started his knuckle and rode off.
I decided to change locations in case he returned w/family.
They are real alright...

Ask Colleen Welch , bigfoot was at the Okie a few years ago , he wears bicycle shorts .

Oh you mean this Bigfoot (Pezao)...I guess he does exist! Hell of a fighter!

All extinct now because of severe allergy to light. I think that Thomas Edison was awarded the "Noble" Prize for eradication of these killers.

You have to wonder why storys of " wildmen" that inhabit the forests are so universal. Is it a shared cultural memory of our not so recent past?
One thing I am certain of... Discoverey Channel, Animal planet, and the History Channel need to stop showing programs like Finding Bigfoot, Bigfoot expedition, Bigfoot Capured, etc. ( Alaska Monsters and Mountain Monsters... even sillier )

egarding the question as to "Now that smart phones are everywhere, why don't we have more video or photos of Bigfoot?"
Seems almost obvious, no?

I'm pretty sure Clowns are real. Also leave large footprints.
That got a solid cackle out of me.

Given things like the hobbits of Flores and the apparent evidence for more or less accurate oral history for events late in the Ice Age, or following the end of same, yeah, that's a *great* question.

People's reactions to the Patterson film reminds me of their reactions to ancient religious texts. The Patterson film has been studied by many, with enough different interpretations to satisfy everyone. Pick a church, search the internet for the one you like, and go to mass.
One of the most convincing analysis's I've seen, shows a hernia in "Patty's" thigh bulging and retracting as it walks. Real or creative use of tools? Beats me. Red meat either way.
World wide sightings over millenia seems to suggest that if Bigfoot is not real, then the ancient tribal memory or some psychological factor seems more likely.
Spiritual explanations abound. Perhaps it is all dependent on the characteristics of the observer. Or a transcendental state that some enter when alone in the woods.
Reminds me of the old bromide "Mr Smith goes to church to talk to god. Mr. Jones goes to church to talk to Mr. Smith."
Good campfire material either way. Luckily, campfires keep all kinds of critters at bay.

Well, they're in the business of entertainment and making money. Why would they stop showing their most popular shows?
That's like saying that George Lucas ought to stop showing movies with Wookies and Ewoks in them .... !

How long the thread lasts is questionable.
Since sightings of Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, etc. precede all of our births by centuries, I suspect we will expire before the sightings stop.
Weird, huh?
Now if someone spots Bigfoot riding a Moto Guzzi, that will spark the birth of a new religion!
Soon to fragment into many different sects, based upon what motor oil he uses, his recommendation on valve clearances,
the spline grease he uses, etc.
Might be more peaceful around here if that never happens........

Yep, you nailed it. There was a UFO flap in the 1890s or so, the 'mysterious airships' craze. Before that it was dragons or witches.
As you or someone said, we're all carrying high quality video cameras with us at all times these days and it's suddenly more common for all kinds of crazy action to get caught on film than not.
We'll continue to see these claims forever, and continue to not see any proof forever, too. :tongue:

Go to any Guzzi rally and you'll see that. Religious? I don't think so, unless there is Pabst sect.

My brother-in-law is from SE Okla. He said his cousin saw one and it really changed him in so far as his love for the outdoors. He lives in Honobia OK. I took a ride through there at one of the Okla Camp Outs.
Here's proof of me being there.

That's an "official" sign. And they have a Bigfoot Festival in the fall.
It must be true. :blank:
Did some investigation here and these are my findings
1. About his "legendary" Lowryter guy. I've actually met and traveled with people that claim to be him, but I'm not convinced. First he is pictured here on an EV, but I have seen "him" on a Greenie, and even an old 4 cylinder Suzuki. And lately some one claiming to be "him" on a bright red Ducati. This must be a urban legend.
2. This alleged Lowryter claims to have a picture of him in Oklahoma by a road sign with "bigfoot on it. Obviously fake because there are mountains in the background of the picture.
Believed none of what you hear and only half of what you see!

That was my original PF3 that came with the bike. Excellent. Mechanic broke it. Didn't get a fitted replacement PF3.
Wish I had a replacement. I'll be looking at the Shadow 750 replacement PF3 sometime.

Yea that’s what I was getting at, I couldn’t remember if I told you that’s what I put in my 04 EV and it fit great, except for the fork size and you’ll have to give them those measurements.

There was a torpedoman on one of my submarines whom we called Bigfoot. He was actually too big for a boat but there he was. Dude was huge. He was a legend. For many reasons.

Never seen one, but last week we were in the Pacific Northwest and driving from Portland to Cannon Beach on Highway 26.....If there is such a thing as Big Foout; this is where you'd find him! Beautiful country with the most dense forest I've ever seen.

QUESTION: Has anyone ever seen a Bigfoot?
I saw this one at the recent Guzzi Rally in Susanville, CA!! :laugh: :grin: :wink:

Amen. For those who are interested, the reports of many sightings are truly fascinating. In the above Facebook reporting, the amount of locals who confirmed that they or their friends/relatives have also had sightings was nice to see, but not that much of a surprise.
Even more fascinating is to talk to someone who spent much of their lives denying the possibility of Bigfoot's existance, describe that their own personal sighting is truly a life changing experience. The censorship effects of reflexive ridicule results in very few of those who have sightings ever talking about it.
For some it is a fun subject, for others it is threatening to their world view! Insert spooky soundtrack here!
-
I’ve not seen any, but I have come upon the scene shortly after one farted, it’s an unearthly experience. Your eyes begin to sting and water, tongue goes dry, the scrotum contracts spasticity, and bowels explosively evacuate.
Aside from that, it’s rather pleasant.
-
I want to believe Bigfoot is true but I've come to the conclusion people are seeing bears standing.

A Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Himalayan/Tibetan snowman what have you is a bunch of Wooki’s that got stranded on our planet long ago.
If someone were to play Chewbacca at volume a Bigfoot/Sasquatch might respond.
Just spitballing here but it’s worth a shot.

a buddy of mine in Colorado took these photos of tracks in the snow in his yard. He said the gait was about 5ft from step to step. You can see some human footprints along the road for comparison. The General Store in Bailey is loaded with Bigfoot stuff, the owner there, a true believer.

Rules say you can not say it “taste like chicken “.

Somewhere between a Mule Deer and a Skunk. Use lots of sauce, buttermilk, peppers, tenderizer, soy sauce, etc.

You are not the first to toss out the theory that Bigfoot is an older species of humanoid than us. Like other forms of faith, there is no end to the theories.
Don't accept the cheap alien knockoffs, use genuine "Made in America" sounds. Amplify to 120 db and project into the woods. You might get lucky and call in a female Bigfoot in heat. :wink:

Their greatest accomplishment in terms of remaining hidden was inventing the internet and cell phones. Having a portable Home Entertainment Center in one's pocket, means more people are now less aware of their surroundings than in all of human history.
As long as they live where there is spotty cell service or no air conditioning, or were there is great cell service, they will remain forever undetected!! :grin:
