You give us U-mans waaaay too much credit Kit. We aren't really that good at making s*** up, and our imaginations really aren't that fertile. Mainly, we just muck along looking at the tops of our shoes and it typically takes a 2X4 to the slats to even get us to notice the obvious. If you have any facial hair, shave it off some day and see how long it takes somebody to even notice. Days, typically. We wouldn't know a BF in our backyards (or any other medium to large mammal) even if it sent us a certified letter. Have you ever walked with others in the woods? I'm guessing you have. Count how many times somebody either looks behind them or above them into the trees. Unless that person is a hunter (Surprise! Hunters see BF, a lot) that number won't be that hard to tally.

2015 The State of Sasquatch Science...

Thanks for that clarification, JKH, and sorry I got that muddled up. Nightwalker, that's cool, that you're seeing so much 'sign'.... I really love the tree bends, too, and the little shock you feel when things are rearranged or missing altogether. I don't have any theories about the tree bends, but the water thing is a possibility, for sure. I think there's a thread going right now, in the General section, about stick formations and tree stuff. What I really wanted to say, though, is that I think you're pretty caught up with the state of the art about now.... You're the expert now, as much as anyone else, and we'll be learning from YOU, hearing about your adventures. Divergent, I can't answer your question directly, for several reasons, but I think I can address your larger question, if we back up a bit.... The hairy guys have been connecting to us for a long time, including during times when there wasn't much difference between the way they lived and the way we lived. First Nation peoples have been exchanging things (and food) with them for a long time, and it isn't always about providing stuff that the other one doesn't have. BF eat a lot of what we eat. Did you see the recent video the Browns made, about the people who helped heal a BF's broken leg, and got all kinds of game as a 'thank you' on a regular basis for quite a while afterward? The people who helped the BF could've caught their own turkeys and deer and whatever, which the BF clearly understood. But that wasn't the point of the gifts. The point was to communicate something -- and to me, it seems pretty clear it was gratitude the BF were expressing. So I'm just saying there's a shared consciousness, a shared awareness that food is a sign of friendship and connection. It doesn't matter whether the party getting the food really likes the food or not, or has ready or limited access to it. Not at first, anyway. As you get to know each other, you might get to understand better what an individual's tastes are, and then the gifts can become even more meaningful... But nobody will mind if you give them an apple they could pick themselves off a tree somewhere. Here, as in most places, it's truly the thought that counts.

That seems a rather grandiose claim. Clarify, please: exactly how many bigfoot kills have you been actively involved in, what was your role as you made these claimed observations, and where are the dead bigfoots now? MIB

You guys are funny! Went the other way with me. I was a pretty normal stick house person until I started bigfooting then just had to have a trailer with wheels on it. Now I got my lucky hiking boots, wear camo, got a sock puppet to go over my Contour camera on my hiking pole, carry a side arm in the field, and talk to big things hiding in the woods. Been thinking about taking up the banjo. Gotta do all that when you are the premier crypto-archeologist to keep up your image.
