Yah yah! I am tracking now.

Awesome. Yah if Paulides isn’t accurate? I not here to “prop him up”. And I am sure that the Martin family wants closure. Too bad that it wasn’t him.

A skeleton of a boy around the size of dennis martin was found in the 80's by ginseng poachers. The skeleton was found in the general vicinity of where he was reported missing. If i recall he disappeared in 1969. I'm not saying it was an open and closed case but if a skeleton of a boy that was around the size of dennis martin was found in the area that he went missing it kinda looks less likely that sasquatch abducted him. To be fair tho, it was never proven to be dennis martin. Heres Googles gemini overview. Again, if i recall, it was a skeleton and not just remains. No, the skeletal remains found in Tremont's Big Hollow in the Great Smoky Mountains were not those of Dennis Martin. In 1985, a ginseng hunter reported finding the remains of a small child, but a search of the area yielded nothing. The remains were never identified as Dennis Martin, and the mystery surrounding his 1969 disappearance remains unsolved.

Not "most." About 50/50. The other half allow you to shoot, at any time, anything not specifically regulated. My state is one of these.

Wow, read Justin Smeja bigfoot dna report and we discussed this story on bigfoot forum in 2013 : Final Report - Huggins 12-019 (November 19 2012).pdf - Google Drive

Feb 20, 2025 "In 2010, Justin Smeja and his hunting partner shot and killed a Sasquatch creature. Fearing the consequences, they hastily buried the body. Their actions led to a cascade of events that changed the Bigfoot world forever." This cost $7 to play this video.........................sorry. Maybe someone on the forum has joined and can tell us if the video is worth it? "A Citrus Heights man who appeared on the reality TV show “10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty” was arrested over the weekend on accusations he violated state Fish and Wildlife laws in Sierra County, authorities said. Justin Samuel Smeja, 31, faces felony charges of perjury and filing a false or forged instrument with the state. He faces misdemeanor accusations involving bear tags, as well as unlawful taking and possession of an animal, Nevada County Jail reports state." “There are some alleged games being played with those tags for hunting deer and bear,” said Capt. Patrick Foy, with the law enforcement division of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife." Reality TV Bigfoot hunter, Justin Smeja, faces hunting charges in Sierra County | News | theunion.com Did anyone ever dig up the grave of the bigfoot or was it a hoax?

Correct.........but he had a "visit" not long after his story went viral. They appearred to have their legal case essentially handed to them by the sasquatch community online. When the DNA analysis came back as bear, they charged him. This was a perfect example of government remaining quiet until their case was handed to them with a beautiful bow tied to it. They didn't even have to pay for the lab work or a trial. Smeja was pretty much left with nothing to do but plead guilty.

You can keep repeating the same thing over and over again. But you have not shown that David Paulides or more importantly the Dennis Martin case is a “con job”. It happened. Along with a lot of other weird cases. And if following a YouTube channel guy that walks around in the woods looking at sticks supposedly placed there by Bigfoot isn’t a con job? I don’t know what is. 🤷‍♂️

The charges were NOT for shooting Bigfoot.

Paulides is a con man. I am surprised to see you prop him up. That is all.

Selling books and charging for appearances? 🤔 That’s every notable speaker in Bigfootdom. But he isn’t lying. I.e. Dennis Martin was a child. That child went missing under very weird circumstances. The search was done under very weird circumstances. And he was never found. And his parents still have no answers. Are all of the facts surrounding the case spot on? Probably not. Does Paulides embellish? I am sure. But the fact still remains that without Paulides I would have no clue about Dennis Martin.

Yet that is who ended up prosecuting Justin Smeja. It was the state of California under their hunting regs.......even though the alleged shooting occurred on USFS lands.......

paulides sells books, ads on his youtube and charges for appearances. by all means, make money. I have no problem with that. my issue is when the person making the money is lying. thats the rub.

How is Paulides making money off of me? So by your logic then? Anyone associated with Bigfoot cannot make money? So Meldrum, Bindernagel, Roger Patterson? We should throw all of that out? Come on up. I can show you millions of acres of deadfall. The Forest service doesn’t do anything anymore.

I don't ignore any evidence and "deadfall" that falls into structures certainly is interesting. Paulides is making money off of lying to you. That isn't interesting. its sad.

There is a hell of a lot more within Paulides cases that is genuinely interesting than a bunch of deadfall in the woods. As I told you? Don’t take Paulides word for anything. Go read other accounts of the same cases.

Paulides is a con man. I've been telling you this for a while.

The Federal government probably isn’t going to come after you legally. But they are definitely gonna come after IT. And if you resist? Then you’re probably gonna die. If you don’t resist? Then your probably gonna get a stern warning to never ever talk about this to anyone. And you won’t have any proof to back up your story. People talk about which state allows people to hunt listed or non listed game species. I don’t think any of this applies. It’s not gonna be a state game warden knocking at your door. Or a Skamania county deputy enforcing some misdemeanor. If I am correct in my assessment? The Feds will do what is necessary to protect the secret. Look at the storm Area 51 debacle. What are they gonna do? Shoot all of us? The governments reply was ABSOLUTELY! It is not easy swimming against the current. How bad do you wanna know the truth? Is it worth dying over? And this is if Bigfoot doesn’t use you as a human tree knocker first. I walked many miles in the woods and have played this scenario out in my mind 2 million times. Getting the body on the ground is just step one, and probably the easiest part of the whole process.

Good find Bipedalist: Rich Germeau, co-founder of the Olympic Project and LEO Bigfoot Experiencer (interviewed on A Flash of Beauty) I watched parts one and two of riches Bigfoot experiences, and he is a very down to earth credible eyewitness. Rich was a sheriff, and he has investigated many big foot occurrences, and he is very credible. If you listen to part one all the way through there is a point to where he notices the woo factor of Bigfoot, and he is unable to explain this. This is what happened to me during some of my field experiences involving Bigfoot. This has confused him because he is a very down-to-earth sheriff, and he is trained to deal in hard facts. When people observe Bigfoot most of the time it's a flesh and blood occurrence, but some people such as Rich and Tom Powell of the Portland Bigfoot community have mentioned in detail that some reliable eyewitnesses have observed Bigfoot in supernatural occurrences. I'm reasonably sure that Forest Service's top ranked Wildlife biologist have also noticed this Woo factor that's also part of a Bigfoot observations. This might be why the top echelon of the PHD Forest Service biologist have come to stalemate due to this woo factor so they simply call Bigfoot a legend or part of folklore. What do you think of the woo factor and what will happen if these top Forest Service wildlife biologist are given permission to publish what they have observed in the field in regards to Bigfoot's. They are very detail oriented and many of them get to spend many hours in the forest observing wildlife. If the top echelons of the Forest Service divulge all of their information on Sasquatch how will this effect logging on over 190 million acres? if the Endangered Species proponents suggest that logging be hampered throughout the entire National Forest what can the Forest Service do to prevent this?

You make sense for a reasonable defense for shooting a bigfoot and killing it. There is probably some law prohibiting shooting bigfoot such as the law in Minnesota that allows the killing of a listed nuisance animal and bigfoot is not on the list. "You can take some animals which are normally protected by Minnesota Statute without a license or permit if they are doing damage. If you are the landowner, manager or occupant of the property where the animal is causing damage, you can take the following animals." Here is another confusing statement from the forest service: "While most people believe the Sasquatch to be a thing of folklore and urban legend, researcher Thaddeus Guttenberg, with the U.S. Forest Service Mythical Wildlife Division, recently confirmed that Bigfoot is every bit as real as he is." “We’ve been keeping his existence under wraps for years to protect his privacy,” said Guttenberg. “But because the country is losing more and more open space each day, we wanted to make it known that the habitat to one of America’s greatest legends may be at risk.” Loss of Space Threatening North American Sasquatch | Home

^^^ If a Hunter shot Bigfoot maybe they should just claim self-defense. If Bigfoot is determined to be essentially human, one can actually claim self-defense vs an attacking human. After all what kind of doctor does one take a sick Werewolf to anyway?

^^ My understanding is that in most states, hunters are only allowed to take "permitted" animals - that is, animals that the state permits you to shoot, trap, or catch. Like what happened in Canada (discussed elsewhere in another thread) - hunters were permitted to take polar bears, and permitted to take brown bears (grizzlies?), but not permitted to take hybrid brown/polar bears. So, if I recall correctly, an American hunter got a huge fine for shooting a bear that was virtually indistinguishable (to the naked eye) from a bear he was permitted to take. Presuming one lives in a reasonable state - and that the shooting has been highly publicized so that it can't be swept under the rug - whomever first shoots and kills AND makes it out with the body could be reasonably safe.
