IMO Yuchi1, those who go into the woods locked and loaded for Bigfoot never see hide nor hair of them because they know long before hand what the gun slingers are up to. I started out like most thinking I was dealing with some kind of dumb overgrown monkey and by my intellect, I had the edge on them. Over time and experiencing some truly incredible things, I came to the point where I realized that I was the one being manipulated, led around and toyed with. They were ALWAYS one or two steps ahead of me! Sure, chance encounters have and will continue to occur, but I have read about and personally talked to the pro-kill campers now for several years and they have not produced one thing for the substantial amount of time and effort invested in bagging one. Will it occur?...possibly in time, but I personally feel one or two of these folks may also wind up in David Paulides' stat sheet...just my humble opinion and two cents on this...

Animals that perspire (humans, apes, monkeys, horses, ---) and eat plants with high sulfur concentrations produce their own insect repellent. Horses are often fed sulfur for that purpose. All types of wild onions, including garlic, are very high in the element. For hundreds of years rural folks ate sulfur powder mixed with various liquids during the summer to offer themselves protection against "skeeters", ticks, chiggers and horse and deer flies. Maybe the typical sulfide smell associated with the reclusive forest primates is a result of a diet of high sulfur plants.

Hello NathanFooter, Some research is showing eggs at 1662mg to hold the highest values of methionine per 200 calories. Methionine and cystiene are the primary food sources for dietary sulphur. Natave Alaska halibut is a close second at 1524mg. And guess what? Skunk Cabbage though low sits at 463mg per 200 calories. Now in the fall bears eat leaves to creat a natural colon block in preparation for hibernation and skunk cabbage has been used medicinally as a "cleanser" of sorts so bears get a two-fer when they consume the plant. The plant also generates heat with can actually melt the snow around it for early spring exposure and growth. I'm continuing my look into this to see if it controls ticks but haven't seen anything to indicate such a benefit.

In "profound land use change" are you talking about the small pockets of timber being logged or the spotted owl having a nest in a Kmart sign?

Norse, The no-kill contigent are not the ones making claims (to justify their position) about looming extinction and detrimental habitat loss that is causing said extinction. What has the pro-kill advocates produced in the form of tangible/forensic evidence to validate such claims? Zilcho?

IMO you have no idea what your talking about.
