Bring in a bigfoot bone and then we'll talk. Right now, legends is all there are.

Anyone else think the "multi-quote" feature is getting abused in some of these recent posts? It's tough to read what amounts to a whole page worth of quotes in every post. Just sayin'...

Went out with another researcher today that works with audio. He's had a lot of activity in this area. Knocks, moans, whistles, some very interesting things to listen to. This area is second growth douglas fir and alders interspersed with marshes. West of Mt St Helens. Elk seem to love the area. There was fresh sign everywhere. It must be where they go to die too. Found a lot of bones. Most looked like they had been fed on by cougars or small scavengers. There was little to no bone breakage on any of them. We did find one remains that looked to have been there about a year. The ribs were all together in one spot. One had some minor impressions similar to our research specimens. We did find a leg bone, smaller than the femur Norseman had sent me. The end was broken off and the marrow had been scooped out about 10" into the bone, much like the femur had been. We did collect that bone and the one rib. The interesting thing about this location was that a track had been found about 30 yards from there last year. I placed my Plotwatcher in the audio activity area. We'll see if anything comes of that. At least I should get some pictures of elk.

I see a bear here. https://youtu.be/JypOkXC7AO0" I'm sorry, but if you see a bear then I'm afraid the first part of your sentence doesn't hold up, for me. I can accept "man in suit," but the subject in this film leaves on two legs, not four.

I haven't MIB but Colorado, if not Colorado Springs specifically, is very much on the list and i need to spend more time there other than just passing through on the California Zephyr like i done before. Here's some numbers on what i found, a quick knock up. There's a key 5 year spell where sightings were high in both areas, between 1997-2002. This spell coincided with Colorado Springs becoming one of the fastest growing Cities in the US. 80% of all Reports within a 40 mile radius of Colorado Springs (20/25 reports) were prior to 2002, with 65% of those coming within that 1997-2002 time period. The drop off confused me as we went from a steady number of reports from the 70's and 80's in the area, to a boom in the late 90's and very early 00's with over 2 reports per year, then only 5 reports in a 14 year period. So i started to look for other cluster areas in and around Colorado and found an area that i noticed had reports in, and a lot of them since 1997. The area doesn't have a name per se but is in the general vicinity of Leadville. I started looking at what the area had and tried to get an understanding of it (just as i was curious about this, nothing more, no expertise etc) and came across a hunting website that sold migration routes of ungulates in a Google Earth Layer when a button kind of switched. So i purchased the layers, added them on to Google Earth and the layers virtually overlapped this new area perfectly. Numbers from the new area were close to a complete role reversal of Colorado Springs with the same spike in activity in that 5 year period of between 1997-2002. 77% of all Reports within a 40 mile radius of the new area (20/26 reports) were from 1997 to today, with 70% of those coming within that 1997-2002 time period. It's interesting if not conclusive, but another little tidbit that i like is that there is a four report trail in a year period between late 1999 to late 2000 that travels from the Colorado Springs area then along and hugging the South Platte River, that heads west with every report almost directly to the Leadville area. We're left with a tonne of surmising where this is concerned as usual IMO, but at least it's something that people could actually get their teeth in to. It appears to me that there was something up in that 5 year period from 1997-2002, what that was we obviously don't know but to have the amount of reports in that period in both areas that we had, would lead me to allow for the possibility that animals were being displaced. When animals move they invariably get seen/heard and leave sign/tracks. I'm not saying that's for definite in this case but the numbers are what they are and there would be, at least in this case with the spikes, a reason behind the numbers being what they are here and that's a good a reason as any i've personally thought of so far.

I listened to an interview with meldrum on some sasquatch podcast/youtube thing (I recall off hand) recently. What really stuck with me was that meldrum stated his opinion that sasquatch live in the PNW area almost exlusively and that claims of sightings in tx, ohio, florida, etc are not sasquatches. So migration into colorado according to meldrum is unlikely. It's an interesting interview although meldrum is sort of monotone throughout. I wouldn't put too much weight on Meldrum either where his thoughts are on x or y other than where his expertise lay personally, especially as i've seen one in Florida and i highly doubt they came up from the Keys or Caribbean.

You still didn't answer or even try to answer my question. You're still just stating what you believe but no facts other than what you believe to be true... BFRO doesn't ever post the mean or bad encounters. That's fact... I don't put much into their reports anyways except for very few. I'm good at gleaming out certain things in reports. It's not hard sometimes to tell if someone is full of it. Since Matt's show started their reports have doubled.. Mostly because someone has never seen or heard anything but they just want to make up a story for whatever reason because they saw the tv show.. I've been doing this since our first encounter in 88. The first two encounters they were mean and pretty sure was trying to hurt us... I stay out of that place now days. Our current area just a few miles from my house we know for sure there are at least two there.. I certainly don't think all Bigfoot are mean by any stretch.. Mostly likely the rogue males or females are the bad ones. A family unit most likely will not unless you come to near to them and their children and depending on how hungry they are for some tasty human organs.. We are respectful but not because it's their land or anything that's got to do with that. They have to respect us at the same time is the way I see it.. Plus you keep referring to them as cousin, people, ect.. I don't think of them that way. They are an large animal with no human anything about them other than they walk on two feet and have two hands. That doesn't make them human in any sort of fashion... An unknown primate is all. No relation to us humans what so ever. If they were they would be down at the local drinking hole having a brewski with us and talking about the costa rica cruise they were taking this spring. Oh, and paying taxes.. Not gonna happen sorry. I don't even entertain the portal Bigfoot, spaceship Bigfoot, and drinking tea and playing the flute with Bigfoot, cloaking Bigfoot, blobsquatches, and Bigfoot throwing orbs at your house.. I believe in lots of stories whether they are good or bad.. Too many old reports to not think they are mean.. Do you just think people back in the 1800's and before and after were just making stuff up? If you believe that I don't see you even believing any story handed down by American Indians. That's a lot of stories to not believe in and only taking one side... But everyone has their own beliefs but none are correct.. Like I said, you can't just pick the stories you want to believe in and throw away the rest.. It doesn't work that way in the Bigfoot world.. Some of the stuff I've seen you post is pretty cool, but stuff like this just makes me shake my head.
