We were in a big watermelon field near a creek, late one afternoon looking for arrowheads. A friend & I had gone around a little bulge in some woods & left Hubby, the shotgun, & the truck behind & out of sight. I was ahead of the friend, walking along the plowed ground, looking down, with no thought about the thick brush that I was getting nearer with each step. Eventually I got that little "danger feeling" & glanced up to see a feral sow surrounded by about 8-10 little pigs about 30 yards in front of me. She was standing just in the edge of the brush about to walk out into the field, & appeared to be sniffing the air. I had heard that hogs have poor eyesight & an excellent sense of smell. I froze for a few seconds, holding my breath & trying to decide what to do. There didn't seem to be anything except to run for my life, so that's what I did. The friend saw me running toward him & I must have looked pretty scared, because he turned & took off running ahead of me, without asking any questions. It was every body for himself. Finally, we slowed down, looked back, & saw that we weren't about to be shredded by a mad sow. If we had got much closer before seeing her, it could have been really dangerous. I have never again allowed myself to be that careless about my surroundings when out in the "wilds".

Plussed. I absolutely DID NOT see any mention of this in the original videos. It appears to be a fictional component added later. One interpretation of Bob's site, videos, etc begin taken down is gov't coverup, but another that is more likely is Bob himself taking it down so nobody can cross check the inconsistency in his claims now vs earlier. IMHO he's a hoaxer who belongs on the wall of shame with Standing and others who must not be named. MIB

Yes, I'm aware they are reporting this NOW. What I'm questioning is whether it was even mentioned in the original campsite videos.

I wonder if bigfoot has ever sat here and enjoyed the view? GPNF last Friday.

Thank you for the kudos Here is all of the BFRO data that was complete on January 08th compared to what is done today! You may have to click on the image to see the animation because of the size. On Jan 08 I had completed Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Since then I have completed North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Indiana, Ohio, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado. I'm presently plugging away at New Mexico and Nevada, with Utah, Idaho and Arizona to follow. The states I've done (with exception of Michigan and Ohio) probably don't have enough sample size for proper moon phase analysis but maybe we can combine neighboring states where possible.

BobbyO, Long time, no posting - I could have sworn that I threw some numbers up here but apparently not. This is really just to start setting a baseline, as I am sure that the sample size is too small to be meaningful. I used the encounter information that I most recently vetted - New York, Vermont, western Mass, and Western CT. That is a total of 331 encounter reports. The moon phase (my $0.02) not going to be important during the day, so narrow it down to encounters occuring during dusk, nighttime, and dawn, and two where even the general time of the encounter is unknown - that drops our sample down to 172 encounter reports. Of these, only 93 reports include specific information about the moon phase OR the date OR enough information where one or t'uther can be inferred w/a reasonable degree of certainty. Now before providing any more numbers, there is another area of potential error/disparity. The "full moon" only lasts one day. But many casual observers don't distinguish between the true full moon and the moon seen, let's say, 1 day before or 1 day after the full moon. Similarly, when does a waxing quarter moon become a waxing gibbous moon? The date ranges that various researchers select for each category may introduce some slight errors. In addition, there's a huge problem created if a database does not have the option of leaving the date blank (when the date of an encounter is unknown) but instead uses a default date (e.g. the first of any given month) and then sets the moon phase according to that default date. Back to the numbers - of the 93 encounter reports in which a moon phase was given or could be identified: 12 occurred during the new moon + 3 nights after 18 occurred during the waxing quarter moon (two nights before, the QM, and 1 night after) 18 occurred during the waxing gibbous moon (the next 4 nights) 13 occurred during the 2 nights before the full moon, the night of the full moon, and 2 nights after the full moon) 7 occurred during the waning gibbous moon (the next 4 nights) 12 occurred during the night of the waning quarter moon and the 3 nights after the waning quarter moon 13 occurred during the last 4 nights of the moon cycle

All n good time Mark, I'll add your name to the list.. Thanks.

I had to wade through this thread. From what has been posted here, there are zero accounts of the campsite damage being observed. Just finding the aftermath. Observations are needed. The jealous female idea is not without merit. The female Alaskan Brown Bear has a 'jealous female' charge. Not a bluff charge. The reason most people don't hear about it/get warned, is that it would impact tourism. Black bears will sniff out, point blank, a brand new, out of the package plastic tent. I think Flashman had a comment about BF--UFO link. Flashman, get a grip......the greys would not allow the BF into the ship. Low overhead and they could never get the smell out of the control deck. And those fleas and ticks. No way. There is a modern way to calm campers who may have concerns about a large hairy mammal visiting their campsite. Put up 1 or 2 trail cameras and sleep easy.
