No analogy will satisfy people here, it doesn't mean that they're false. This field has very little in the way of verifiable reports so it can be compared to just about anything with "volume and consistency"- Loch Ness Monster, ghosts, aliens, etc. Many of which people get offended by because they don't want Bigfoot to be used in the same conversation with those things. The actual point gets dismissed and drowned out by the complaints- that's pretty much the way it always goes. Well you got me there, Larry. See? Another gotcha moment. Do you mean the encounter when Bigfoot mimicked the sound of a tree crashing in front of you, when he was actually a mile away and throwing his voice? "Very different paradigms" is an understatement. Well then you're missing out on the gold rush. Moneymaker isn't just a name anymore.

^Sorry Larry but if you can't get past the subject matter and to the actual point I was making then that's your problem. I know how you love to dwell on assumptions and gotcha moments but I'm not going to waste time on that stuff. If you want to argue that Class A reports and inaccurate statistics add up to something substantial then you can do that. Go with whatever makes you feel better. If Bigfoot is real then it'll present itself eventually- I would rather wait for that then to madly cling onto a bunch of trivial bits of evidence that's shown little to no value towards ever validating the field or bagging one. Meanwhile there's an awful lot of money to be made. Gotta love the witty comebacks around here. It's surely helping to make Bigfoot more of a reality every day.

Hello, NathanFooter, your theory explains where they go in winter or why they are so hard to document (both)? Either way it works for your this area but not the rest of the U.S. where bigfoot is reported to be. I would not consider 4 miles x 4 miles to be all that big especially for animals of this size. Have you looked at it on google earth? Might help you see different vegetation zones and possible migration corridors and help you focus your efforts. Also if you get responses to play backs you can plot the detection locations on google earth and reveal a home range or area of activity. This is called "spot mapping" Apologies if you already know this. These might help you with survey design. http://www.bbec.sabah.gov.my/phase2/downloads/2012/april/camera_trap_manual_for_printing_final.pdf http://apes.eva.mpg.de/eng/pdf/documentation/WhiteEdwards2000.pdf Wildlife Conservation Society Malaysia, has a wonderful website with some very good tutorials on statistics and survey design: http://www.wcsmalaysia.org/analysis/default.htm As stated I'm a skeptic on bigfoot but, I think it would be good if people used some of the methods used by wildlife biologists for what should be just another animal species. I wish you luck in your search.

Yes, but many of them pretend to have Southern accents.
