This one is interesting, this 3D model was created from scanning several other relics and using data from modern foot prints, gives you an idea of the scale at 8 1/2 feet. Dwarfing Meldrum, and look at the lack of neck, as well as the broadness of the hips. This certainly brings some of the images in our minds to life.

I think you may want to reread the article. I'm not seeing where you are finding your information that red hair and blond hair contain no DNA? The article states a 60%-70% success rate in extracting Nuclear DNA from hairs with attached roots, Successful Mitochondrial DNA extraction rates (not stated in article) are higher due to thousands more copies of MtDNA vs Nuclear DNA. MtDNA can be extracted from hair shafts without roots. Dr. Sykes used MtDNA, http://voices.nationalgeographic.com/2014/07/01/yeti-bigfoot-dna-hair-study-science-animals-himalaya/

Speaking of funny mind LCB. I was just thinking of your posting and a joke that Colbert told last night related to all the Star Wars hype. "Chewbacca got into the dark chocolate and had to spend the night at the vet". Thinking of that and your posting I wondered what would happen if we left out some pot brownies to BF to eat? Would BF eat them? Would it make them drop their self imposed avoid camera protocols? Would they just lay there eating Cheetos and let us approach? Or would it make them more paranoid? Have read some threads where tranquilizing BF is discussed but not one about getting them buzzed on something. Any habituation people want to give it a try? Seems less dangerous than trying to tranquilize a BF. For all we know they grow pot out in the woods on their own. Might be some sort of medicine for them.

You might do that, but could you live with yourself as one of those Bigfoot advocates that just can't prove it no matter what you say. You might need to weight the pros (positives) vs the negatives. It might get to the point that it is pointless to try and inform others of it's existence. Would you be compelled to try and get proof, or could you let it go.

My journeys take me south this Saturday, stopping in Corbin KY, just outside the Daniel Boon NF. Will be doing a little road investigation, and possible recording there. Then on south to St. Augustine FL. might venture over to Ocala for some looks. Then down to Fort Pierce FL, I know some of those hog littered back roads, also had a large bipedal eye shine cross the road, could not get close enough to identify. Then over to Naples to visit Grand Cypress for a couple of days, and further up the coast to Port Charollette , misspelled, but that gives my access to Myakka State forest, then it is up to Clearwater to visit my inlaws, Lastly to Tallahassee for a little trip up into Quincy just to the north. I will have those swamp apes surrounded, and undoubtedly on a leash by weeks end, what do you suppose I should do with em, maybe pawn um off as a circus show, What ever, I will most likely aquire the NDA and let them go at their convenience.

Sorry,I cannot speak on the subject of the GA BF Society. Regarding where I conduct research. I do not conduct "research" so much as I am aware of the BF ideology and combine that with the the fact I spend a considerable time camping and outdoors in general. On average I spend about 30 - 40 days a year camping/living outdoors. By this I mean rustic camping in a tent with no electricity or common amenities available. I also spend a few weekends a year "camping" where amenities are commonly available via campers or cabins. I guess I"m lucky because I live in MI which provides a lot of land that is both "rustic" and non-rustics. Usually I'm in lands that fall under the following: "If you are looking for a rustic camping experience, with plenty of space between camp sites, Michigan's state forest campgrounds are for you. Located throughout Michigan's Upper Peninsula and the northern Lower Peninsula, the state forest campgrounds provide over 3,000 campsites in the state's nearly 4-million acres of state forest. Every state forest campground is located on a river or lake, providing excellent access to fishing, boating and canoeing/kayaking. More than 60 campgrounds have nearby nonmotorized trails for hiking, biking, horseback riding and nature observation" So far,nothing in my camping experience, since being an adult that is open to the idea of BF that qualifies as anything BF related.

If I came across an 8 foot tall, hairy creature standing there 20 feet away and looking at me and there was absolutely no doubt what it was, I'd tell everyone I know. I'd contact those very few in the bf world that I admire and i'd tell them too. If the press found out and wanted to interview me, I'd tell them as well. All because I knew without a doubt that it was out there and there was such a thing. I wouldn't attack or get angry at those on a forum such as this who didn't believe me or who were skeptical because I would understand where they were coming from. Then I'd say to myself holy sh*t, there IS such a thing and I gotta start apologizing! t.
