exactly..... which if you think about it, if you want to find it, don't be so obvious about looking for it.
just go out, enjoy your own thing for "normal activity" hunt, fish, hike, camp etc and the rest should take care of its self......if it is around, that is.
I suspect FB is more a lesson on how not to or MM and crew would've blown the lid off this long ago....... imo..
.. and my opinion with a couple $ might get you a coffee some where.
The account Branco posted in, I think, the "A Few Field Reports" thread mentioned a gentleman who dozed off in front of his small campfire only to awake to a roaring fire, fueled by a stump clearly transported while he snoozed from a nearby embankment. That certainly speaks to a passing kniwledge of combustion...not to mention a playful sense of humor.
IMO, utterances such as the above serve to illustrate the ignorance and ego in play and to postulate science as the catalyst for such is not only disingenous but fraudulent as to actual motives.
I implied that I think they would be capable of building a fire if they wanted to. And there would be no need for them to rub sticks together for the same reason that they wouldn't have to chip out a stone axe if they needed one. We humans leave things laying around everywhere. Fires are made in the campgrounds & in backyards by the millions. It would be amazing if not a single BF ever observed the process, picked up a lighter from a picnic table, & tried it for himself later.
Do you honestly think that a being that is intelligent enough to elude humans for all these years couldn't do something that simple? Something so simple that a Bonobo can do it?
What is the procedure for "backing up" what I think?
I guess you must have already forgotten duly noting my sig line.....
Perhaps someone can correct me if I'm wrong. But in the original paper, Sykes never reported on all the samples submitted.
I'm thinking the ones he held back may be of value.
(Oh, thx for the thread! This one is WAYYY better than some shaman attacking dogman on your front porch!)
This is not about others' "rights", that's a nice smokescreen but this is really about you reacting to your fear.
Why do you want the dogman to feel fear? Would that make you feel better? If so, why? What does that say about you?
The fact of the matter is it did not attack your car. It either made a choice not to or it is not in it's nature to attack. This is exactly what I meant, you're trying to turn it into a monster to rationalize / justify your fear of it rather than deal with the fear in an psychologically appropriate way. It has the earmarks of PTSD and I think you should get help for that ... I'm absolutely not questioning your experience, I'm questioning how you are processing it ... or in this case, deliberately avoiding processing it.
