  1. This. If the species is as smart as I read here it is, the chances of it doing this are small to none. But, mid winter, unlucky run hunting, or an aging BF that can't hunt effectively? Maybe a few times. Or maybe a few rogue BFs that have a taste for braised human? Possibly. Some must be less shy and brazen than others. And lastly a young inexperienced BF making a mistake is a possibility. But correlation does not imply causation. This is likely a logical fallacy to imply BFs might responsible for more than even a fraction of a % of instances. Just consider some different ways you can die in the woods: A fall, injury of some form, tree falls, storms, drowning, death by natural causes, suicide, murder (kid picks berries and disappears? Hmmm... how about the parents?) Hunters may accidentally kill eachother and cover it up, or kill a hiker via mistaken identity and not report it Serial killers - IMO, a serious consideration for the grouping in that map on the previous pages, consider the realitive privacy and easy of disposal but another consideration for the grouping is terrain and population density/visitation. Animals - mountain lions, bears, snakes Lastly, from the evidence of reports, they act like bears and use intimidation tactics. They want to keep us away. They don't intimidate deer. We're a threat. IMO, whatever deaths via the hands of a BF are probably our own mistakes (shooting at them, stepping on one sleeping, whatever) than it is intent to eat. I recognize that having not read the books, I've got little to base my comments on but some of what I see here sounds like the beginnings of a horror movie script. There are much bigger risks out there than this. Show me some evidence of eaten humans, then draw causation.
