Interesting post........ I believe this is true, to wit: If sasquatches exist, the federal government knows it to some extent. This may be true, however, I believe that the overall pressures of us Homo sapiens far outweighs the possibility le benefits of increased deer populations. For example, over the past 150 years, the salmon populations in many watersheds of the Pacific Northwest have virtually gone extinct if not crashed over the long term. This represents a huge loss of sustenance for such a creature. On the other hand, humans have eliminated brown bears from much of western sasquatch habitat, which likely has also benefitted them. There are lots of factors that go way, way, way beyond deer and old growth forest. Why not?

Well, I certainly can't explain why sasquatches can't be designated as endangered, especially since there is no data or information about them whatsoever.........at least that we know of. But I would love to hear or read somebody explain it.

My prediction is a small group of upper management charged with managing federal lands knows about bigfoot. The Forest Service and the BLM biologist in Washington DC know about BF is my opinion. If so, they probably have pictures of dead ones and maybe bodies as proof. Did they take Smeja's bigfoot? Other lower level managers are kept out of the loop, ridiculed, and threatened with firing if they start talking about BF (probably true) In my opinion bigfoot prospers in logged land where they hunt an abundance of deer feeding on vegetation growing in the sunlight. Here in Oregon, the rare Spotted Owl has caused logging on federal land to be cut way back to retain their habitat. It's logical, bigfoot would require special protection too. Without logging, the Forest Service will shrink even more. However, my opinion as a past landscape architect for the Rogue River National Forest and a knower of bigfoots, bigfoot thrives on the extra deer that graze on brushy land being reforested after clear cutting. Bigfoot thrives in logged areas that are growing back providing the sustained yield logging method is used based on the fir trees that take 50 to a 100 years to reach maximum growth. For example clear cut a 100 acres of a 10,000 acre forest plantation every 100 years that grow under average conditions. In the case of fast growing trees in prime conditions cut 100 acres every 50 years. (check my math) "As the law states now, the federal government restricts logging within a 2,000 acre radius around known spotted owl nests and roosts, and also requires that at least 500 acres of the largest trees in that zone be left uncut." http://www.wildlifewatchers.org/esReports/report17.html This will not happen in the case of bigfoot.

I hear ya Pembo but I smell a skunk. Does the Forest Service really want bigfoot discovered? They fear Bigfoot will be labeled as an endangered species which would shut down logging. I used to be a Forest Service landscape architect, and they could easily prove their logging practices would not harm bigfoots that live in every corner of their forest land. Can you explain why this would be the case? bet ya can't? Would bigfoot be labeled as an endangered species? Absolutely not. Can some bright person explain why? The forest service should be working on the justification for not labeling bigfoot as an endangered species and logging can continue providing the sustained yield method is followed. The first story I would like to discuss is the incident that allegedly occurred in the vicinity of Battle Mountain, Nevada in August of 1999 and might be deemed a "modern classic". On, or about, August 6 several wildfires sprang up and engulfed the wilderness around Battle Mountain. Several state and federal agencies were present to help in battling these fires. These agencies included, but were not necessarily limited to, the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Department of the Interior, the Bureau of Land Management, and, of course, numerous fire fighting units from Nevada and its surrounding states. According to a witness who claimed to have been on the ground during the attempts to contain the fire, a sasquatch was injured during the blaze and was captured by fire fighters. The witness submitted a report to the BFRO on August 7, 1999. His account was not deemed credible by BFRO curators and was never published. Thom Powell, author of The Locals, however, felt there might be something to this report and pressed for more details. You can read his entire account of the incident here but I will try to hit the high points below. Texas Cryptid Hunter: Sasquatch Classics: The Bigfoot of Battle Mountain

Published in tThe Province, Vancouver, British Columbia on December 16, 1969. I wonder how successful this hunt was?

Published in the Tri-City Herald, Pasco (WA) on December 24, 1969. At first, I thought Roger was going to Colville region to look at tracks that had been hoaxed (see the story just published a few days ago), but these tracks appeared a year earlier than the ones which a hoaxer claimed to have created. Given all the stories of how dogs react to a Bigfoot, one can only wonder what would have happened if the tracking dog had been up to the job.

Published in the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix on December 31, 1969. Note that Roger's film had been shown in the Saskatoon auditorium in 1968.

What happens when an Oregon hunter realizes the monster outside his childhood bedroom window wasn’t a nightmare — but something far more real? In this chilling episode, we sit down with TW, a lifelong outdoorsman who has spent decades in the forests of Southern Oregon. TW recounts the night in 1972 when a red-eyed, long-haired figure stared through his window — and the decades of encounters that followed in the Prospect wilderness. From tent stakes pulled from the ground, pinecones hurled with deadly force, and terrifying whoops echoing through the trees — to hunters abandoning camps near Diamond Lake and Union Creek after relentless harassment — TW’s stories will make you question what’s really stalking Oregon’s elk herds. You’ll hear about drag marks through gravel roads, mysterious footprints, eerie vocalizations, and even a chrome cylinder too heavy to move that vanished overnight. More than just campfire tales, these firsthand experiences paint a violent and unsettling picture of a predator that doesn’t want to be found. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to come face-to-face with the unknown in the Oregon backcountry, this episode will stay with you long after the sun sets. Listen to the Podcast

Important to keep track of the hoaxers in this field as well as the likely true encounters.

With respect to Tirademan and Gigantor, this is a different article than that published in Tirademan's archives. The title of that post refers to Patterson coming to the Walla Walla area and the attached story goes into more detail about the track find, but doesn't mention Patterson that I can see. This article was published in the Longview (WA) Daily News on September 29, 1966. It sounds like Roger interviewed one of the miners from the Ape Canyon incident.

Tonight’s guest, Jonathan Downes, is the Director of The Center for Fortean Zoology, in Scottland. Jonathan founded The Center for Fortean Zoology 32 years ago, so this isn’t a new venture for him. When you consider all of the experience he has researching sightings and legends of unclassified creatures, how could there be a better eyewitness to come on the show to talk about a cryptid sighting he had? What Jonathan saw is called a woodwose. The term woodwose is in reference to what is believed to be a mythological being that is characterized by an untamed, wild, and hairy appearance. To some, they’re known as wild men. Others consider them to be the British equivalent to bigfoot. Nevertheless, in January of 2003, Jonathan saw a woodwose, and that experience is what Jonathan is going to be talking about on tonight’s show. We hope you’ll tune in and listen to him do that.

The title (of this post and the attachment) is mine, not theirs. It's more to the point. The article is from the United States National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal. It was published in July 1994 and can be found (with some digging) on their website at https://www.pnas.org/. According to their website, "All PNAS articles, regardless of their license, are free within six months of publication." Monkey Ape Vision.pdf

I don't know if this is the study discussed in the thread at https://bigfootforums.com/topic/31023-the-sykes-sartori-report-oxford-lausanne-collateral-hominid-project/ but the link in the first post on that thread is now dead. Note that the open padlock (to the right of the word "Research") indicates that this article may be accessed by anyone free of charge. I've attached what I believe to be the full abstract as a .pdf file; those wanting to try to find the entire article with all the scientific data (if this isn't it), can try https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/epdf/10.1098/rspb.2014.0161.

That’s what I’m hearing perhaps the professor was played for a fool? His first sighting might not be genuine?

What happens when decades of Bigfoot obsession finally lead to one moonlit night in the shadow of Mount Baker — and a creature that defied every expectation? In this gripping episode of Bigfoot Society, we sit down with Robert Evans, a longtime researcher whose journey spans Florida, Georgia, Washington, Canada, and beyond. Robert recounts his early brush with the unknown in the Chattahoochee mountains, his years of fruitless treks through the Cascades, and the moment everything changed in 2012 — when a massive figure on all fours glided across a floodplain and leapt over a fallen log in front of him. You’ll also hear the untold story of the Finding Bigfoot drone expedition that captured incredible thermal footage… only to lose it to a string of failures. From Walla Walla roars to high-tech drone hunts in Ohio and California, Robert’s story reveals both the triumph and heartbreak of chasing evidence of the elusive Sasquatch. More than just a sighting, this is a saga of obsession, technology, and the mystery that refuses to let go. Robert currently uses a Mavic 2 Thermal drone at 640x512. 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?

Todd Standing =Red Flag.

I found two articles on this. The short story is the one Tirademan posted in the Northeast Sightings forum; it's moved here for easier location. The long story (a faded newspaper, unfortunately) was printed in the Erie (PA) Lake Shore Visitor on January 11, 1894.

Sorry. I hadn’t refreshed the page to see that you had already responded

Thanks, guys.
