Reading about how smart great apes are at escaping their enclosures? (One chimp hid a lock pick in its mouth) I don't think Bigfoot can be kept in a normal zoo. It would be a maximum security prison that would not serve any purpose to humans or bigfoot. The only non lethal option is somehow collecting DNA. Prove it’s real. And then tagging one male and one female with a tracking device and waiting possibly decades for them to die of natural causes. And then go collect the bodies. Would science be willing to wait that long? Especially if the fate of the species hangs in the balance?

Hello from OH! I have recently begun doing more research into this topic after a strange experience camping and found myself here. I would love to read about other's experiences and maybe someday be able to get out to do some research myself.

Most agree 'science' wants a body. Like Rick Noll (thanks for the name) I have become more emotional on the bigfoot concept and all the ramifications of such a thing. I am looking at the shooting of Bigfoot by a hunter like I might my dog. I love my dog but at some point, is she was terminal she would have to be put down. There would be NOTHING about having to put her down I would want to happen. Yet, at some crossroads in life we have to do the hard thing. With Bigfoot, like it or not, a body will only satisfy science. I am thinking it might even be more merciful for Bigfoot to be killed than captured. The necessity of shooting one is not the same as the necessity of having to put down a pet dog. It is in the same set of emotions involved somewhat in both issues. If one has to be shot, it has to be shot. I doubt Bigfoot would take to life in a zoo any more than we might.

The Dennis Martin case is an eye opener. We cannot prove anything but there is definitely obstruction from the Park Service over missing people. Just asking for a missing person list as a tax payer and being told it would be one million dollars to compile the list? (Per Paulides testimony) Should tell us everything we need to know. And we have debated this before? But I personally see NO WAY with all of the surveillance apparatus of the many government agencies that a 800 lbs primate has never been detected. Research the Lovelock giants for more obstruction from the government. Or the Smithsonian's special status that does not require them to follow US law. Great place to hide the bodies!

Rick Noll. He was a member here once. Look I get it. Science is cold and cruel. But science demands 2 type specimens of an extant species. If it’s an extinct species? Then standards are lowered and even a fossilized pinkie bone suffices. They did extract novel DNA from said pinkie bone that they thought was Neanderthal and Denisovans were discovered. Bobo is probably a great guy. But his methods are not scientific. He is out there looking for a personal experience, nothing more. Does he hurt the field? I would say no with the general population, but yes with academia. This is why I like Dr. Mayor so much. She has discovered novel primates before. And while it may be boring to watch? It has already produced results. Fingers crossed.

Welcome to the forums, Adam.

Great Question! I used to think we need to 'get' a Bigfoot by any means necessary with the goal of having one in a "zoo". Then, I saw Bigfoot's Reflection as while back. I was moved by the thoughts of this guy (don't remember the name): He made me think how sad it would really be if Bigfoot was in a zoo. He said essentially when we go to the zoo to see apes, they just "seem sad". While I also like to go to see the apes when I go to the zoo, I sense the same thing. I never really deeply thought about that emotional concept until hearing this guy's thoughts on the movie. I still am under the mindset of Gimlin where Gimlin says, "I just wanted to see it again" I feel that as well. That probably drives the feeling of wanting proof and the fascination of Bigfoot. What do we do with one if we caught one? That is a great question. I do not prefer they shoot one but if they did, I understand why this is probably necessary. One thing I do know, things like this are harmful to the Bigfoot cause:

Originally published on 5/10/24 as Episode 428. What happens when a seasoned outdoorsman takes his son deep into the forests of Eastern Oregon — and something begins screaming in the darkness? In this spine-tingling episode of Bigfoot Society, host Jeremiah Byron sits down with Dee, a listener from Wallowa County, who shares not one but two chilling encounters with Sasquatch. First, a late-night hunting trip in 1997 turns terrifying when screams echo through the canyons and a towering figure parts the trees. Then, ten years later, strange footsteps circle Dee’s tent — followed by a giant finger pressing into the nylon under moonlight. With eerie details like massive handprints, silent forests, and a scream that sent shivers down their spines, Dee’s story is one you won’t forget. You’ll also hear how his son — once scared into silence — grew up to become a fearless bushcrafter on a mission of his own. This is more than just a Bigfoot sighting. It’s a legacy passed between generations — and a mystery that still lingers in the shadows of Oregon’s wildest forests. 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?

Welcome!

My question is what are they gonna do when they find him? If they are pro kill? They will have a high powered rifle. If they are not pro kill? They will have an air gun and a biopsy dart or some method of collecting DNA. We have enough audio, video and dental resin tracks to fill a gymnasium. It’s not proof. It’s a scouting tool.

Hello Guys, I’m an avid outdoorsman, who loves searching for skunk apes. Hello to all and Ty for letting me join!! Ty, Adam from Florida

Yup. But when looked at from the point of "who profits" (always follow the money), the "finders" need to keep looking in order to profit. Once found, the profits will then go to the "officials", and by that I mean those authorized to do whatever it is that the authorizers want done.

It doesn't help the show Finding Bigfoot never seems to actually find Bigfoot. As some point it becomes a joke which I have to think does little to help interest in Bigfoot. Because of this show, there has to be part of the public who would say, "Bigfoot, isn't that those people who are out there in the woods but never find him?"

What's the possibility that the US government knowingly allows Bigfoot to harvest humans within government controlled forests, national parks etc ? Hidden in plain sight because as we know the missing are not recorded, is someone turning a blind eye as long as the harvesting (mainly) stays withing boundaries and acceptable numbers?

We have 8 pages of comments on this topic alone. We may not be what we once were but we are certainly far from being dead.

I will say I have not had any Bigfoot experience personally. My guess is such an experience would be life-changing to those who have. They might report it or not, but I have to think someone having such an experience is changed forever. I agree as you say Bigfoot has become a cultural thing. Who knows if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I don't know if my childhood was typical but most of us who grew up back in the day (I was born in 1966) grew up with 3 channels on TV to watch. If the Wizard of Oz was on you watched it that night or you couldn't see it again for another year. Assuming 1/3rd of the country (3 channels to watch) was watching that means millions all shared the same basic experiences then. There were a lot fewer things competing for our time. I have to think for those who grew up then they all had a similar view of Bigfoot. I always felt then Bigfoot or the Yeti was always presented as a real creature. It seems to me the feeling was more of a universal understanding because the few outlets presenting Bigfoot as a topic (Peter Graves) made the argument to say Bigfoot DOES exist vs DOESN'T exist. The internet and media are now like McDonalds. There used to be only a few items to choose from. Now they try to offer everything.

Would have answered this to, but you posted just as I hit send. I'm one of the "general interest" folks. While my wife and I hike a fair bit, I've never seen Bigfoot (or a black bear) in the woods on hikes and don't expect to see a Bigfoot. But its dragged me in because if its all a hoax, or misidentifications, that should be fairly easy to demonstrate. And it hasn't been.

In a similar vein, too sports sites that I follow which used to have vigorous discussions during every game and about every aspect of the teams are also vastly smaller now yet you get prompts to "follow" every single baseball player on X, Rumble, and those other platforms even if they hit less than Mario Mendoza. The Forums may have to change and even then may still get overtaken by the shift in communications preferences by different generations, as BackDoc pointed out. Interestingly, while I'm of the generation that first saw Bigfoot on In Search of and The Six Million Dollar Man, I lost all interest in it until the early 2010s. And even then my first reaction was, "this really can't still be a thing, can it?" So I agree that as us older folks move on, the Forums will likely shrink because younger folks aren't as interested and don't consume news the same way. Matt Moneymaker made a comment on a recent Bigfoot and Beyond podcast that younger researchers he has met haven't gone back any further than Finding Bigfoot. When he asks about John Green or Grover Krantz, he gets a blank stare and a "who is that?"

It is an interesting question. Nuanced. I think you have to separate those with a general interest from those with a specific interest stemming from some kind of personal experience. I think what you're talking about is those with general interest, not those with experience. Unfortunately, the waters are muddied today by bigfoot becoming a sort of cultural "thing". A lot of people are aware of the notion of bigfoot now who don't have much interest, don't pay the topic much mind. That wouldn't have been true in Oct '67, for example. MIB

What happens when a seasoned rock climber rappels into the heart of Tennessee’s mountain wilderness — and comes face to face with not one, but two Sasquatch? In this chilling and unforgettable episode of Bigfoot Society, Jeremiah Byron shares the story of "Project Broken Man," a Tennessee native whose solo climb turned into a life-altering encounter. Hanging 90 feet above ground, he comes eye-to-eye with a massive, amber-eyed creature — and witnesses something few ever have: a juvenile Bigfoot swinging on his rope. That’s just one of the jaw-dropping stories in this episode, which also features nighttime encounters in Oklahoma City, a Sasquatch grabbing a goose in broad daylight at a Washington truck stop, and a train engineer who kept his Massachusetts sighting secret for over 20 years. You’ll hear stories from Lake Wales, Teleco Plains, Clark Forest, the Berkshires, and beyond — places where the shadows move, and sometimes... watch back. Whether you're a longtime believer or a curious skeptic, this episode delivers raw, emotional accounts of encounters with the unknown. More than just stories — this is the sound of people grappling with what they saw and the truths they carry. 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?

Dr. Squatch soap and deodorant are awesome! I think that the further the younger generation gets from their hunting roots and woodsmanship, the less they care about nature other than in a general, climate change way. The less one cares about nature, the less something like sasquatch comes up in their thoughts or cares. Because I am a hunter, have loads of woodsmanship, am very old and spend a lot of time in nature, sasquatches are important to me.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. However, I suspect that the Forums management would not want us to say that "X researcher's post about whatever" can be proven to have been hoaxed." When I first got interested in Bigfoot circa 2010 or so, I relied primarily on a website by a person who is such anathema to the Bigfooting world that even mentioning his name here led to banishment. One of the things this person did (although not why he was persona non grata) was outline the different lawsuits threatened, filed, claimed, etc. by one bigfoot "researcher" who felt slighted by another bigfoot "researcher." That being said, your analysis appears to be spot on and the visual aids support your claims. Way back in the day (2013ish or so), I had visited this particular sight and/or read about it here and found videos claimed to having captured a bigfoot playing tic-tac-toe or playing with ghosts. Needless to say, your two reports simply add to the conclusion that claims by this individual merit little weight.
