The RZ zones or Riparian Vegetation Zone, sound like a good idea since trees are not cut and logged within 50' of a certain sized creek which keeps fish habitat healthy and nature's animals such as beavers, weasels, and bigfoots can travel the banks of the creeks without drawing unwanted recognition. Is this a good idea?

The Forest Service considers bigfoot to be mythical and so they won't put any effort into helping Sasquatch survive like they did to help the Spotted Owl. The Forest Service knows moving bigfoot from mythical to a proven species will cause many forest to be shut down for logging. How do you prevent this from happening?

The first line could be changed to "That was pretty brass Femme-nads behavior". Ovaries are tough. The 'hide / walk / run' discussion has been worn out. With today's inflation, I think you should increase your 2 cents value and add a fuel surcharge.

What was chasing the pigs?

Wild pigs came crashing through the Kentucky woods. Seconds later, a massive, hairy figure ran past a hunter less than 20 feet away. Jay recalls the morning near Cadiz when he watched a seven- to eight-foot creature chase a herd of wild pigs through his hunting spot. A shaft of sunlight revealed a detail he still remembers decades later: a human-looking ear. In Bigfoot Society Episode 1211, Jeremiah Byron also hears accounts of huge footprints in Colorado’s Rampart Range, a Michigan whoop powerful enough to make a witness’s body shake, and a strange figure outside a Pennsylvania woodshed wearing a light-blue jacket. What did Jay see pursuing those pigs at daybreak? Hear his account in his own words.

As Norseman states, Washington State's RZ zones are important programs which enhances the fish and wildlife industry along with outdoor activities such as hiking, photography, and fish production. The RZ zones are located where creeks pass through Washington State Forest and federal lands. We may have them in Oregon. The RZ zones sound like a good idea since trees are not cut and logged within 50' of a certain sized creek which keeps fish habitat healthy and nature's animals such as beavers, weasels, and bigfoots can travel the banks of the creeks without drawing unwanted recognition. This forest buffer area also prevents logs from being yarded or hauled up hills and across creeks to the landing where logs are loaded onto trucks. This practice destroys animal and plant habitats and makes hiking less enjoyable. When tree cover is maintained along creeks, the sunshine is blocked so the water doesn't heat up, grow algae, and kill fish such as bullheads, trout, and spawning steelhead or salmon. Hikers are attracted to forest trails with tree cover and along creeks where wildlife can be observed. It may cost more to log these areas where creek buffers are located yet many taxpayers are willing to pay more for lumber so hiking trails can follow forested creeks which enhances the hiking industry. The commercial salmon industry is also enhanced because salmon smolts survive better in shaded, cool water. and they return to the ocean where they supply fish for the food industry. RZ zones enhance society's need for outdoor recreation, wildlife and lumber.

A few bigfoots in America are lucky since there is still plenty of undeveloped land such as many areas of Alaska and a few states below Canada. The bigfoots in these areas can avoid interacting with humans if they choose to do so and carry on their daily lives without seeing humans. The bigfoots in other states seem to depend on humans since there are reports of them taking cows, raiding chicken coops, or showing up at night on rural properties. Even though there is plenty of wilderness for them, some congregate on developed property which seems to attract some Sasquatches. Mavbe these Sasquatches have been pushed out of the wilderness by dominant Sasquatch families, and they depend on rural folks for their food and shelter. We just don't have the answers to these questions since we haven't allocated funds to do quality unintrusive studies of bigfoots. Maybe we should develop better ways to determine how we can help sustain bigfoot populations if needed. Many of us cringe when we see animal species going extinct and feel guilty for not doing more to protect a species. We just haven't developed adequate methods to study bigfoot populations so we can determine if their populations are stable or do we need special methods to ensure bigfoots can raise families and keep stable populations? The picture below shows me in my drift boat exploring bigfoot's habitat on the Rogue River of Oregon.

I think you guys would have RZ areas in logging operations down there. https://www.wfpa.org/aquatic-habitat/riparian-buffer-zones/

Sasquatches probably looked at native Americans more favorably since they had a low impact on their environment and the creatures were probably not afraid once they became used to living around the native Americans. This cohesiveness probably varied from tribe to tribe and more hostile tribes may have been averse to enjoying the company of bigfoots. The same applies in reverse with family groups of bigfoots who did not trust humans so it's difficult to know the relationship between the two groups. The relationship between modern humans and bigfoots today is probably far worse than when native Americans were dominate. Modern humans today have built the Forest Service that doesn't even recognize bigfoot probably due to admitting there is a bigfoot would amount to territory protection and vast reductions in logging if environmental groups demand extreme Sasquatch land protection.

My beliefs, like everybody else's, are subject to change as evidence and theories sway them. No worries about differences! I don't take offense. Well, frankly, it seems to me that the lives of sasquatches are more humane the less they interact with us. My Dad actually got me started on this consideration when I was still a teen by advocating that they should be left alone. Indeed, the same is true of Homo sapiens tribes and ethnicities living in remote areas who don't want to have anything to do with the rest of us. As an Alaskan, living in a huge state with a tiny population, I understand the desire to live apart from the world of man as much as possible and comfortable. That's why I'm here. And if folks who rarely to never visit wild areas accept sasquatches as only mythical, but still enjoy movies like Harry and the Hendersons as comedy and Jack Link commercials as entertaining, aren't their lives enriched regarding wilderness wildlife? But haven't we already done all that? That seems a bit intrusive to me. Sasquatches appear to prefer solitude, and they appear quite capable of achieving it without our help. This is a very valid concern. Government secrecy about sasquatchery lends little to no confidence that the species is not going extinct. I guess I'm willing to trust them rather than open it up to all of humanity, which looks to me to be the kiss of death for the species.

Very well written reply and thanks. I hope my reply is not contrary to your beliefs. If federal government and mainly the Forest Service took an active role to discover Sasquatch and to protect its precise habitat then possibly bigfoot's lives could be more humane and our lives would be richer with forest filled with wildlife. The problem is to locate Sasquatch's nesting area as Albert Ostman accomplished by accident. We have grown into a huge and powerful country, and it seems humane to study and to make room for animals that get caught in the wheels of progress. We are smart enough to grow our economy and protect animal's habitats at the same time. The greatness of a country can be determined by how well it takes care of its people, and the welfare of animals yet manage logging, hunting and mining so nature's animals can live in managed numbers too. So how do we take care and protect bigfoot? We first need to use the evidence we already have to prove its existence then we need to hire a small army of biologist and Eagle Scouts to roam, camp in the woods, and secretly find bigfoot's nesting sites so we can keep tourist, hunters and loggers at a reasonable distance away from the nesting sites. It's a tall order to fill and possibly our effort may enable bigfoot to live a better life and may prevent the possible extinction of bigfoot.

It's an interesting thought exercise to consider how the sasquatch species was affected by the arrival of non-indigenous people. First, native Americans lived in groups and villages that were mostly nomadic, and their weapons were close ranged. When Europeans arrived, the Homo sapiens population numbers exploded within a very short period, they established towns and cities that remain and some of which have grown into metropolises, and we now have the capability of shooting them from a quarter mile away. Sasquatches have shared this continent with native Americans for at least 12,000 years, but the past 200 years have changed everything. Indeed, we can even categorize the past 200 years: 1825-1925: Occasional contact with European explorers, trappers, and prospectors 1925-1955: Increasing contact, and the beginning of mass media exposure of the species to humanity 1955-today: An explosion of sasquatchery in the Homo sapiens consciousness, beginning with contact from people penetrating the Six Rivers National Forest timber sales and the modern media

I believe these creatures are nomadic, and they utilize HUGE areas. This is part of why anti-discovery is desired by government. "Protecting" an entire region for a nomadic species would be traumatic to humanity. Many people already live in these areas. An example of such a species would be barren grounds caribou like the Nelchina or Fortymile caribou herds. These are huge areas, very few people live within these areas, and caribou are a hunted species, yet wildlife managers are still confronted with a myriad of challenges managing these herds. If we're talking about a non-game species that is at extremely low population density, it would be a huge, expensive, and intrusive management challenge. Better just to look the other way, and assist everybody else to look that way, too.......... One of the best examples of sasquatch "home" reports came from the Albert Ostman story. He claimed that the sasquatch family (his word) that held him hostage lived in a several acre area surrounded by steep cliffs and a single, narrow opening that had a spring or small brook and overhanging rock projections under which they built their sleeping nests for protection from rain. The species appears to reproduce like Homo sapiens, so that rearing their few young takes years, which is supported by their species low density and slow growing (or even declining) situation. Most public lands in North America already have significant access restrictions. It's not like the pre-automobile era when access by horseback allowed reaching even in near impossible corners of the wilderness. Motor vehicle access is limited to established roadways, and even then, government utilizes gates to restrict access for myriad reasons. Even access by foot or horseback requires permits. Access restrictions offer solitude for sasquatches.

The forest service designs and use to hide timber sales that helps remove fuels that build up in old growth forest and provides fuel for forest fires. Areas to be logged must be in proportion to the size of the drainage basin where the logging will occur. If a drainage basin is over logged then massive erosion will occur that floods creeks and rivers with brown sediment that can wipe out trout, salmon, and steelhead. Each drainage basin can have limited and planned logging which may need to be in public view, so fish are protected and wildfires are kept to a minimum. After a planned clearcut, grasses, brush, and small trees begin to grow back which supplies deer, and elk fresh leaves to brouse on. Bigfoots ability to raise a family and to find food is improved since deer and elk survive on the new growth springing up on clear cut land. However, during hunting season, Bigfoots ability to feed its family is reduced since bigfoots must evacuate prime hunting grounds to avoid regular hunters and hound hunters which forces bigfoot to hunt at night when hunters are absent from the woods. Since the Forest Service considers bigfoot to be mythical, they don't put any effort into help Sasquatch survive like they did to help the Spotted Owl. During hunting seasons bigfoots may need to hunt higher in the mountains where deer might be less prevalent and access roads are nonexistent. In general, the lives of bigfoots were probably more difficult during time when pioneers flooded lands throughout America. Bigfoots obvious desire to avoid humans has increased since the pioneer days which could have made them an endangered species that could go extinct. Since bigfoots are so difficult to find and to gather evidence on how they live, it becomes nearly impossible with present means to study them so they can become a documented and proven species. How we avoid killing a male and female bigfoot to prove their existence is a topic for another paper that could include hiring a massive forest workforce supplied with tranquilizer dart guns. Once proven, bigfoots and their habitat will probably receive national protection. Areas close to their nesting grounds will probably need laws to reduce hunting in these areas, build roads away from their homes, and supply food during winter months to prevent them from going extinct.

Are you going to send it in to some lab? That must be expensive.

Yes, I agree that after they are proven to exist, they need strict laws protecting them from being shot. If their nesting area is discovered should these areas have limited access by hunters and loggers? How many acres should have limited access? Thanks for finding that report from Canada and I have been looking for it.

That's what many believe, but I believe that laws to protect them are only necessary after they're proven to exist. As long as they remain a myth, they're safe from there vast majority of mankind. The occasional accidental shooting like this is always possible, even after discovery: https://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=9552

Tonight’s guest, James Lady, grew up in the glacial moraines of southern Ohio before moving to Michigan in midlife. In mid-September of 2016, James headed into the woods of southern Ohio with one goal: to finally see a Sasquatch. On the seventh day, he got his wish. On tonight’s show, James will describe how that sighting unfolded and share several other experiences he’s had with Sasquatch, including times when he was able to record their vocalizations. Needless to say, James has plenty of interesting experiences to share. We hope you’ll tune in and listen.

Nice to hear from you way up in Alaska. It's probably best to keep bigfoot restrictons that way but there is a downside to the law. If bigfoot shooting was open game for only one dead bigfoot then a dead bigfoot would help prove the species. Once one bigfoot is taken and the law can then change to have big fines for killing one. Somebody has to bring one in or proving its existence will take way too long. Alaska would be a good area to find one and bring it in for proof. Once it's proven it will be easier to protect.
