Bigfoot has not been proven to exist .. not by science, not with scientific acceptance. You have things a circular sort of backwards .. cause and effect. Existence in a zoo, etc. is de facto proof of existence. You can't have a thing in a zoo without demonstrating the thing does exist. A wiser, more insightful question would be to skip the zoo angle and just focus on why BF has not been proven to exist. That lies in the history of bigfootery. Someone else will hopefully have memorized the details. Back in the late 60s or early 70s there was a conference with a lot of top scientists present. "The big reveal" was promised. That turned out to be a hoax and the scientists who attended were professionally shamed. Mainstream science has been afraid to stick its neck out since. Yeah, there have been some credentialed scientists who have been involved, but that has been as a personal interest, not with professional backing, not with grant funding, institutional backing, and the other stuff mainstream science needs to operate at full capacity rather than personal curiosity. Those scientists who have been involved have had no more support from mainstream science than you or I have. If you want to understand "this stuff", you have to embrace that understanding as one of your foundational pieces, not try to "but but but" to sweep the inconvenience away from your thinking. Honestly, most people fail. If you want to understand rather than try to manipulate from ignorance, don't be part of "most people." Now .. so far as the evidence we do have, why it hasn't been enough? Remember the Ketchum Study. The best DNA samples we had to date were gathered and apparently tested. That is destructive testing .. when you're done with the test the sample no longer exists. Ketchum's study was a hoax. It destroyed the best evidence to date. The second tier of samples went to Brian Sikes. He recognized / acknowledged that those were lower quality / lower probability samples, basically ones rejected by Ketchum. Read his book. If you want to understand, read his book. The rest .. is a struggle because of limited evidence to test and even more limited funding for testing. Adrian Erickson walked away. We lost Wally Hersom this year. Who is going to pay for it? Who has deep enough pockets? It doesn't matter what excuses we make, how good those excuses are or aren't, we need evidence solid enough that someone is willing to fund the testing. If it is DNA, that costs a bunch. I don't think audio, video, or track cast evidence alone can rise to the level needed for scientific acceptance by themselves. Truly, we need an intact skeleton or a body on a slab. I don't want to be the person to deliver that. I'd rather they go undiscovered if those are my only choices. First, we have to accept that this is indeed what has happened. I question the validity of the assumption. Remember that the Smithsonian has somewhat limited resources. People who have worked there say they have a 50-100 year backlog of samples in boxes they simply have not had time and staff to open and catalog, never mind actually examine and review. If the bigfoot evidence is in one of those, there's no conspiracy hiding that evidence, just simple economics. I think the assumption of a conspiracy shows ignorance. The other? Hair -- Henner Fahrenbach studied unknown primate hair samples for a lot of years. It wasn't hidden, it just didn't rise to the level needed for acceptance. DNA -- as before, cost of testing. Bones -- we do not have proof such bones exist, we only have anecdotes, so maybe there is nothing to examine beyond someone's delusional wishful thinking. Hides -- the hide pieces tested so far have conclusively been shown to be regular animals: goats, rabbits, etc. This is not hiding anything, this is lack of real evidence. If we want PROOF, if we want acceptance of existence, we have to up our game rather than settling for making whiny excuses about our offerings to date not being believed. There's no proof of a conspiracy, there's only whining because our entitled little selves are not getting our way. Want different results? Do something different. Put something real on the table to look at.

Let's guess at some of the reasons for hiding bigfoot evidence such as bones, bodies, actual hides, DNA, or hair.?

Happy 81st birthday! May you have many more. Happy New Year, all.

Happy New Birthday, and may there be many more to come!!

It almost certainly has happened. But the Smithsonian is exempt from the Indian graves act. So they could be hiding a-lot with that loophole. The Lovelock cave giants would be a well known example of this. What else is hidden in their basement?🤷🏻‍♂️

Happy Birthday and Happy New Year! 81! Your doing great bud!💥👍 I love getting out there! And I know you do too!

Just a bear - except that the police had no official reports of a bear actually being killed by anyone. Published in the Carbondale (IL) Southern Illinoisan on June 28, 1973, July 2, 1973, and November 01, 1973.

Wow. Congratulations. Happy new year to you and many more years to come.

Happy New Year, Bigfoot family! I hope every one gets a chance to answer their questions about Bigfoot/Sasquatch this year, whether it's with a sighting, physical evidence, or online research. I'm still very much enjoying the adventure, even as I turn 81 today. Cheers!

Why hasn't Bigfoot been trapped, tranquilized, or shot and killed so it can be brought into a zoo or museum? This question is hard to understand because we have so many great hunters throughout the United States and one of these hunters should've brought in more than just one Bigfoot. I have read Bigfoot a report that states this has happened in the United States and a Mr. Smeja shot and killed a bigfoot. I read a report from one of the provinces in Canada, and a fellow did shoot and bring down a Bigfoot, and he described the situation. This report seemed to go nowhere and didn't add to the scientific evidence of the existence of Bigfoot. Why have none of these incidents really contributed to the evidence, study, and museum quality exhibitions in a museum? Even to this day the United States Forest Service still does not recognize the existence of Bigfoot and calls it a mythical creature. Why is this the present status of Bigfoot?

Very few people get to see a Bigfoot, and there are usually reasons for this such as being too noisy while hiking with tin cans and cups clinking together , talking, and most of all just being in an area that's too open where Bigfoot can see you. Bigfoot probably has a fantastic sense of smell and if you have fragrant scents from washing machines, shampoos or colognes then bigfoot will know you are in the area and hide. Bow and arrow hunters use liquid scents that disguise the human smell, and these scents can be purchased at a sporting goods store. I suppose you could consider getting camouflaged clothing or simply wear earth toned outer wear. Another factor to consider is the kind of footwear that you use so if you have lightweight boots that have soft soles and not a big thick hard leather soles then while you're walking the sound will be less obvious . Another factor is to hike in smaller groups such as three or four and navigate forest trails in a quiet manner. All of these factors combined could enable one to get a glimpse of a bigfoot while it disappears into the brush.. Just wear earth toned clothing which helps disguise your approach or wear camouflage clothing which of course helps disguise the human figure . Shiny metal objects should be avoided since the glare can announce your approach . Now sometimes I believe that Bigfoot will allow you to see it if it detects that you are not aggressive and dangerous towards wildlife. If you have the right vibrations then Bigfoot may allow itself to be seen . Another big turnoff for Bigfoot is if you pack a rifle. I'm sure Bigfoots are smart enough to know what rifles are for, and they hide from people that that carry them. I usually carry a concealed pistol such as my40 semi automatic. The pistol is to ward off a human or animal attackers such as a bear or criminal. The 40 would not bring down a large animal unless it was shot between the eyes or somewhere else in the head . However, the pistol noise may be enough to break the charge of an animal so it withdraws and leaves the area. I know there are more powerful pistols but frankly I don't want to pack the extra weight and clunkiness of a large revolver that weighs four times as much as my semi automatic 40. My friend Kenny became a big game hunter in Alaska, and he carried a huge pistol that sounded like it was a 500 caliber something, and it was big enough to bring down a medium sized grizzly bear which is needed while hunting in Alaska . I suppose I should switch over to a bigger pistol that fits into a comfortable shoulder holster.

Happy New Year, Everyone! More from The Waynesboro (PA) Press, these stories from January 26, 1921. These were not mere backpage fill - both stories were front page along with the stories of a prominent local citizen, the hard economic times with 3,000,000 men out of work nationwide, a local newspaper editor being beaten up by eight men who "resented stories in his paper," and other serious stories.

Happy New Year, everyone!! The best way to start the new year here is to celebrate Tirademan's efforts of a decade ago in finding stories like this one at https://bigfootforums.com/topic/37107-connecticut-1926-terrifying-ape-man-just-a-human/ and Gigantor efforts in saving some of these stories at https://bigfootforums.com/forum/130-tirademans-historical-newspaper-archives/. These articles provide background on the incident which Tirademan found. The first is from New London (CT)'s The Day on March 26, 1926. The second is from The Journal of Meriden, Connecticut, on March 29, 1926. The last is from the Hartford (CT) Courant on March 30, 1926. <--- The disbarred lawyer story is just a bonus.

Happy New Year, everybody! While following up on missing Tirademan articles, I located this article from The Sacramento (CA) Bee, published on October 8, 1958. Any guesses on who the road contractor was who insisted that the giant footprints were not a hoax? Also, I did not cut off the article headline - that's the layout in the paper.

If you are interested in observing Bigfoot there are some basic do's and don'ts that should be discussed. Now you have to decide how long of a forest hike that you're going to take, and will it be one, day three days camping out, or a month. Now if your goal is to observe a bigfoot, one of the important preparations is to read Bigfoot reports that are listed in the website called Bigfoot Research Organization or BFRO. Then another preparation you have to look at aerial photographs of potential forest to visit and find areas where there is dense tree and shrub cover and not a lot of open spaces since Bigfoot wants to remain elusive and only to be seen when it so desires for this to happen. I'd like to hear from others and to understand their opinions In a method of making an acquaintance with a Bigfoot. Making a play book might be important for those adventurers who would like to study and communicate with Sasquatch.

Well I spoke with the witness named Ray, and he said that when they were walking down the trail they first saw a stick structure that was disguised in the bushes, and it was big enough to hold a couple people . He said they looked inside this stick structure, and there was a tunnel in the floor but they didn't explore it because they were getting freaked out. They came out of the stick structure and Ray noticed some movement from behind a tree . They watched the tree and discovered a large hairy creature that was staring at them. This really freaked them out and Ray said they'd better get up the trail and head back to the car which is a 4 mile hike . He said they started walking back along the trail went along a steep hillside with tall Douglas fir trees on each side They looked back again and noticed the Bigfoot was following them . He said when he and his friend saw this creature tracking them, they began to run and ran about two miles up this trail back to the truck. As they ran, they kept looking back in a state of panic . As I said before, this happened when Ray was about 17 and he's now 50 years old, and he still remembers details about the traumatic incident. I asked him if he could find the area again and he said there are so many canyons in this general vicinity that he can't remember which one it was . I get the feeling that he really doesn't want to return to this area since when he was 17 it was a horror story. I still wonder if the Bigfoot was an outcast from the clan or was it a single young Bigfoot out on its own? Are there any questions that you want to ask Ray?

In this episode of Bigfoot Society, host Jeremiah Byron welcomes Richard D. Priest, Jr., a former U.S. Marine Corps veteran with special operations, reconnaissance, and intelligence training, for a wide-ranging and deeply personal discussion about his decades-long experiences with unexplained phenomena, culminating in multiple encounters inside Washington State’s Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Richard begins by outlining his military background, including behind-enemy-lines communications work, special sections training, and reconnaissance experience. He explains how these skills shaped his approach to analyzing anomalous encounters, threat assessment, and field operations. He then recounts how his interest in non-human intelligence began years ago through contact with individuals claiming off-planet communications, leading to research into remote wilderness locations suitable for controlled encounters. The conversation covers Richard’s belief that some non-human entities operate from underground and underwater facilities, using advanced technology such as teleportation, surveillance, and directed-energy systems. He describes a past incident in which he believes he was injured by a directed-energy weapon, an event that caused him to sever contact with certain individuals and reevaluate the risks involved. Richard then connects this broader context to his Bigfoot experiences, explaining why he believes Sasquatch may not be an undiscovered primate, but instead non-human intelligences tasked with guarding sensitive locations, including underground access points. He discusses why Bigfoot encounters often involve sudden appearances, disappearing trackways, vocal intimidation, and avoidance of sustained visual contact. 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?
