I think once you get to 100 posts, you'll be able to see that section. One of the things our database produces is Google Earth layers from search results. Attached is an example...

I have been walking the pro-kill/no-kill fence for a while, leaning both ways for various reasons. I have come to the conclusion that we must have a body to prove existence of the creatures, but not that it has to be a dead body. I still think that we could creatively trap or sedate one for long enough to obtain adequate documentation. While they are extremely elusive, they are not beyond being brought into captivity or sedated for a time. If we could master the art of tracking them and knowing how to locate them, then the rest would fall in place. Areas like "area x" being the exception, but might be the key to getting close enough for long enough to figure out how to trap or sedate one. If you remember the Snell Lake incidence where the creature stepped onto a bed of nails, well that might indicate that they are not always able to detect a trap, it just has to be sophisticated enough to keep the creature contained or somehow sedated. Mention of them being captured in the early history of this country shows that is possible, you just need skilled horseman, dogs, and strong rope and the skill to lasso. Problem is today we rely on our tech world and our limited outdoor skills. We need to get back to the raw skills needed to overcome the obstacles. Yes, shooting one might be easier, but you still have to remove the body, what I am suggesting is far more humane and offers greater opportunity to study an individual before it's release.

I like your history professor Yuchi! He must know how much fiction is written into the history books. With reference to North America I think a large percentage is pure revisionist history to justify what the political class has done to the country.

While at lunch with some fellow researchers today, one of them mentioned getting a call regarding a logging crew at Toba Inlet, the site of Ostman's abduction story, who reported wood being thrown at them while at the felling site. We don't know yet if this is a new report, or a retelling of a similar one from several years ago, as it came to us 2nd or 3rd hand, but further inquiries are being pursued. The report from several years ago was not followed up on site, as the logistics of getting to Toba are difficult and expensive, since it is only accessible by charter boat or float plane.

So why did you try to shoot one? As has been well documented, the Louisiana Hunt happened within the first few months of my exposure to this field as I/we were in it for the money, period. And, it has also been well documented my subsequent change of position on killing one of these entities. Are you trying to dispute that? Personally, I don't believe a word you say.

When I came here, there was something in the woods. It'll still be in the woods when my time here is up. In that sense, nothing has changed. What has changed is my view of the community. Not for the better. The way we bicker no wonder bigfoot hides. Nobody seems to be looking for answers, everyone is arguing dogma of one sort or another. They exist vs they don't. They can only exist if they are X. This is proof. That is garbage. Your grandma wears combat boots. It gets TIRING. MIB

Yep, I've been in the right place at the right time and it worked for me too I once was a skeptic believe-it-or-don't

It doesn't take but a few seconds in the right place at the wrong for a skeptic to convert.

One has either encountered a bigfoot or one has not. If one has encountered a bigfoot, the belief debate is moot. If one has not, the belief debate is everything. This forum is not dominated by either proponents or skeptics. It is dominated by believers of both camps who argue their respective belief systems. But there is the occasional nugget of significant information....
