I really don't understand these type of threads Squatchy. I know from reading your previous posts that you do not entertain the possibility that a creature such as Sasquatch exists, fair enough........there is no convincing evidence for you and a whole lot of bull and let downs for all. But I just cannot get the excessive barrage of what can only be described as mockery or ridicule, akin to bullying really that you and a few others - notably Crowlogic try to flood the forum with. It all smacks to me of a 'I'm smarter than you' type of insecure character flaw.......I am an atheist, but I don't go into religious forums and mock and ridicule others for having different points of view and I don't think I'm particularly cleverer, just that I have formed a different opinion. I'm not a believer by any means, I think there is a possibility this creature exists although the evidence is lacking at present for me to jump from the fence to probable. But I wouldn't continually mock those who have different opinions. I could understand if you asked the question "how do you guage successes and failures?" or "What do you think you're doing wrong?" or even "If you search for 10 years and then nothing will you still believe or will your belief ever be shaken?" that could be an interesting topic, even for those who point blank deny that Bigfoot or Sasquatch could exist................ I just don't understand how some of you guys can come hear and make almost a thousand posts basically all the same - it's not even witty or funny - I just don;t get it!?!?!?!?

I don't actively hunt or catch bigfoot. I consider it my duty to read every report ever reported, and by doing so have determined the creature exists beyond a shadow of a doubt, and that Science is remiss in not following my lead, as I am a self-proclaimed scientist, and am smarter than anyone else on this board.

Question to any and all bigfoot hunters on the board: How many bigfoot do you hunt/capture on a monthly basis? How do you gauge your successes and failures? Is there a monthly quota in bigfoothunting?

Well as many of you know I claim to be a believer in Bigfoot, I claim to have heard them, and I claim to have experienced activity, well all that being said what if I was 100% honest. Fact of the matter is I would have to say I seriously have my doubts as to the creatures existence anywhere much less in my surroundings here. That is an honest statement from an honest believer in this creature. I wish I could say I have had that definitive moment, I have had moments that fostered the belief no doubt, but like many of you I am just a believer, not a knower. I have not seen it with my own eyes, nor have I touched it to know what I was seeing was actually real. Ok, well then why just not give up the whole shooting match and lay the idea to rest. Well if it were that easy I sure would have liked to do it sooner, yet I have nothing at stake in this, only more to loose by holding onto the belief, more time, energy, my reputation, my sanity perhaps. If you are honest you might share this feeling and thought process. The power of belief is stronger than we humans can imagine, it can make a strong man cower and a weak man tower. I submit that such a belief, experiences or not, can cloud the mind, or make it see things that it wants to see. So is that all this is? No, if it were just that I would be free simply by relying on the rational mind and the facts. The rational mind is what is not letting this go, because you can see here I have reason to desire to let it go, it is the fact that what I heard in 2013 cannot be explained, what my wife heard also, what recordings seemed to confirm was activity, it all is compelling my rational mind to find another explanation, so far I cannot. That is the issue. To the skeptics I say enjoy your world free of such experiences that would force you into this quandary, but be clear that many of us are here not by our own choice, but by circumstances that most of us wish never happened. The compulsion that accompanies those experiences is what leads people here looking for answers. Of course many of us have not compulsion other than we think this is entertainment. I wish I were here simply for entertainment, simply to blow off some steam or to enjoy a good joke. I am here simply out of a compulsion to find answers to something I thought could not exist, and honestly in many ways wish it did not.

Thread intended to start an existence debate. At the end of a given day that is all a denier has that he can ever prove: That science does not accept the existence of BF. Someday that will change and they will go argue at UFO or Nessie forums about existence. No matter how much they would like it, the dictates of logic will not allow anyone to prove something cannot exist.

Well, Squatchy, being in Canada, I'm actually a Sasquatch hunter, not a bigfoot hunter, as that term applies to those newcomers south of the 49th parallel, but I'll try to satisfy your curiosity anyway. 1. I hunt 4 or 5 every month, but I have yet to capture or kill any, though I have seen 1, and found a trackway in the same creek valley as that sighting. 2. I gauge my successes and failures by the amount of pleasure I get from the act of hunting, and the exercise burn I feel at the end of a great day out in the forest. 3. No quota (also known as "bag limit") in British Columbia, but I don't seem to be in danger of exceeding the daily or yearly bag limit if it did exist. I do feel sorry for all of those who have an interest in the existence of Sasquatch/Bigfoot who do not take the opportunity to get out in the wild country to actually hunt (as in search, not necessarily capture) this most elusive of creatures; they are missing a wonderful experience. Cheers from the "Squatchiest place on earth".

I catch about 20 on a good day, a dozen or so on a bad day. Failure is always an option, so I don't judge it as a bad thing. I think it's 30 here in Tejas. No, that's me and my government buddies doing our part for the big cover-up.

And the crowd goes wild!

Lake County Bigfoot: Don't throw in the towel yet. I hunted, fished, hiked, prospected, tracked, trapped and goofed off in the mountains, river bottoms, bayous and jungles for forty years before I heard one of these booger do a p---ed off vocalizations that was so loud, long and hair-raising that I and the other five men standing around the campfire ALL knew it was no typical animal. This was a continuous sound that started as bellowing holler, then an aggressive yelling sound and terminated in a high pitched scream and lasted about twenty seconds or more. At the time, I didn't know what made that sound, but I quit hunting with a gun and spent five years looking before I saw my first one. The next forty years, in 12 states, I learned a little more, heard a bunch of them, got glimpses of several and clearly saw two more. Don't every believe that these animals don't forage around the edges of big cities, small towns or rural communities. Every acre of ground that us "new comers" to this continent have logged, farmed or developed once belonged to them and the NA's. They have been forced to abide the presence of us. They probably don't believe in skeptics either.

Yet another "Exists/Does Not" exercise? Moderators, must we?

I think this thread is just another opportunity for you to tell us what folly the subject matter is. Maybe you should save us all the trouble and answer your own questions. To stay on topic... The Giants are in New York and San Francisco
