Yes, I do, it forms the basis of my hypothesis on bigfoot. I don't expect it to be a chimp or gorilla as you know. If you had heard everything I have on all the audio that very serious researchers have collected over the past ten years, it doesn't leave much choice, unless you simply wish to throw all that aside to protect your own belief or agenda. I've seen it over and over. The only way to fix it is to duplicate the efforts of others until it is apparent to all involved. You may feel that doing what others do won't prove anything, but it still matters that you know the truth.

It doesn't requires being a PhD or being a scientist to determine if a relatively large tree has been twisted or twisted off, or if a huge tree has been moved from its original fallen location by machinery, storms or Bigfoot, especially if those events occurred within a reasonably short time before being found. It does require common sense, detailed observations, and logic to make those determinations. (Seventy one years of "woods rat" experience would not be required either; but some would certainly be helpful.) The fact is that the majority of hunters, hikers, fishermen/women, mushroom or berry/fruit pickers who are in the woods don't even believe such a critter as Bigfoot exist. They certainly aren't going to take much time away from their activities to look at odd tree conditions or placements. (I suspect I probably did that a few times before I woke up to the truth several decades ago. Looking back, its pretty dang clear I misinterpreted some animal sounds, odors, tracks and sign. Meaning no disrespect to any poster; just an old f--t's opinion.

True...not proven. But not impossible. Just not probable.

I grew up in Washoe County, Nevada. My father was a geologist so we were frequently out in the middle of nowhere. There are some weird folks out in the remote small valleys. Religious cults (imagine being approached by a robed monk on a deserted road who was following orders to leave the compound in the middle of nowhere to go out and panhandle in the middle of nowhere), Nazi groups who literally convoy around with halftracks and staff cars in SS uniforms (heart in throat as they pass you). In the Southeast, while Civil War relic hunting I ran into both pot growers and altars in the middle of nowhere, and on one occasion, an open and empty grave. There are plenty of human threats. That said, I consider this. In the wild the biggest influence on male physiology is physical competition between males for the privilege of mating, and potentially for other resources. The biggest rack of antlers makes a difference, and the biggest silverback has the ability to exert its will. So let's assume that two adult male bigfoot are in competition and it devolves into a wrestling match, or in extreme cases a life and death struggle for control. Bigfoot are obviously built to exert offensive physical strength. Their arms, legs, and torsos are obviously well developed and commensurate with their stature. But look also at the neck musculature. It is greatly enhanced. Why? I believe this to be a defensive strength adaptation to decrease the vulnerability of the head and neck in dominance struggles. This indicates that in a fight, male bigfoot may habitually target the neck as a point of vulnerability. We only see musculature approaching this in sports where damage to the head and neck occur regularly - football, wrestling, boxing, etc. Weightlifting also, but this is not due to direct conflict/competition. So I don't find it beyond the realm of possibility that a bigfoot attacking a human might attack the human in the same manner that it might attack a competing male bigfoot and attempt to settle an issue by simply breaking the neck, and possibly removing the head.
