      I like, and respect Dr. Meldrum.  I have had several conversations with him over the last five years.  His mind is razor sharp, and his ability to evaluate evidence and apply what he knows rivals the best detectives I ever worked with.  That said...as some are asserting that he "sounds like a broken record" on the various podcasts he is invited to appear on...remember he is being asked the same questions over and over and over again.  The fact that his answers remain the same is consistency in testimony.  It also must be considered that new, or revolutionary evidence is extremely slow in coming, so what does he really have to comment on other than a relatively few new footprints that have come to him that are of a high enough quality to actually examine forensically?  He is one of the very, very few researchers of any real high profile who remains committed to common sense, logic, reason, and the scientific method in his approach to the subject.  He sticks to what he knows, and is the first to admit what he doesn't know.  I give him a lot of credit for that.

      Pictures posted on the internet used for discussion and analysis are fair game.   If you were to print them in a tshirt to sell...  that's different.

      I'll start be saying I don't have any good pics of what I'm about to describe, but I can get some if there is interest as this tree isn't far from my home. I also apologize if this isn't thread worthy but I have wanted to hear some opinions on this for a while. Every time I pass it, I stop and stare and try to logic out what I'm seeing.   I spend a lot of time outdoors but have only started paying more than cursory attention to tracks and sounds and anything out of the ordinary fairly recently(previously too busy fishing). Anyway, there is a large tree I have noticed that looks very strange. It is a tall old spruce at the bottom of a small creek valley and it has a lot of branches that have been bent/snapped so they point straight down, but are not broken off. Often there will be multiple affected branches at the same height. This repeats at different levels, from a few feet off the ground to 30 or more feet up, and also appear to have happened at different times.  There are too many, pointing in too many different directions, and at too many levels for easy explanations like heavy snow load given all the unaffected foliage.   Any thoughts? TIA

      There have been mentions of crows in this thread, how they can learn to identify guns, etc. I have been feeding and interacting with my local crows for a few years and they definitely know when someone is trying to be sneaky vs just moving slowly. I have no doubt other creatures can tell as well. I also know that there are always eyes on us when out in the bush.   As to avoiding cameras and messing with other items, it could be as simple as their reported dislike of electrical energy. Humans may leave lots of stuff in the woods, but very little of it is electrical.

      There's really not that many people dedicating time to researching Bigfoot.    I think there are very few Bigfoot in existence and a small amount of people actively searching. Yet, people still report sightings and encounters somewhat often.   Even people that say they've spent their whole life hunting or hiking are only in the woods for a portion of a day. And they only visit portions of land to do a specific activity.    I believe sightings mostly happen when a Bigfoot wants to be seen or is overly interested in investigating the humans and/or trying to threaten them. Turning the corner on a road and seeing one crossing has to be like hitting the lottery.   It's hard to have a lot of progress when the majority of people don't care/believe and the animal is extremely rare and only existing in extremely remote areas.
