As a hunter, I've noticed that my "desire" to kill has been reduced from when I was younger. I still love hunting but the killing portion of the hunt has lost its appeal. In my younger days I'd pull the trigger without a second thought. I guess "blood lust" is a younger persons game. I still hunt and occasionally will kill an animal but I'm very selective about what I kill. I've thought about what I would do if I ever saw a Sasquatch and I was armed with enough gun to kill one. If I had enough gun, if I had enough people with me, also armed, and I had the ability to take the body, I would consider it. However, by myself, in deep cover, I'd never do it. I think most hunters would consider their personal safety as well as the ethics of killing something they can't identify. It's not easy to kill anything indiscriminately and much less an animal that looks so much like us.

What three pieces of evidence makes you believe there are Yowie in Australia? One thing I find interesting is that you have no Bears in Australia and yet people still report similar creautures. Norse I have witnessed 5 yowies in the time i have been searching, the closest being within 30 metres in daylight, not mistaken for anything else I have found 6 bed structures that have been constructed by them I have footprint casts and a feaces that was 40 cm in length and still hot. 4 hair reports from Dr Fahrenbach and one from Todd Disotell,,stating higher primate, all hairs were recovered from the bed structures Many pics of uprooted trees and dislodged boulders. I have seen the animals so i really don't need any evidence, i know they are here Thats correct, on the eastern side of Australia we have a small BF like animal, grows to 3-4 foot which have been seen by indigenious australians back in the early 1900's I have some evidence that may support the existance of such an animal

Nope Crow got kicked out of that one which I am entirely glad about. The turn down was all based on second hand rehashed info. Most of which was presented and talked about here. No experts whatsoever involved. And that's the truthhh.... We will be presenting at the Northwest Anthropological Conference. Interested to see how that goes.

Terry are you in possession of the failed biology test of all these "bigfooters" and "habituates" you speak of. You have no idea of the experience that another has with wildlife. You are just making false blanket statements about other people. we had a Zoologist that used to post here about what he has seen and experienced and was ridiculed just like any other "naturalist" would be. Multiple biologists with degrees have come forward with their sighting and where has that gone, nowhere. If you want to know the truth go look for it do not wait for someone to tell you what the truth is.

Perhaps you've shared these in other threads, but I'd be curious to hear any of these experiences that you might be willing to share. These stories have obviously had an impact. Don't mean to hijack a thread, however. To stay on track, my personal 3: 1. PGF. I mean, come on!! Spend some time with it. Really watching it. There is not one frame in that thing that cries "man in suit" to me. Man can do a lot with technology in this day and age, but they can't even get the CGI movements of the apes in the modern Planet of the Apes movies correct! My point being that 50 years ago, there was no way to either create such a realistic suit, or perfect such a flowing, natural movement. **** be real. Deal with it. 2. The video of the skunk ape in the cypress swamp, with its back to the camera. Sorry--would link to the youtube clip if I had more time. It was filmed in either Georgia or Louisiana as I recall, and created a big stir a couple years ago. This is the one where the guy runs off, scared out of his wits. Even that felt real to me. But what really got me was the SOUND of the event. Pulling apart a cypress stump had such an authentic, resonating power to it. I put it right up there with the PGF, personally. 3. Waking early one morning below Penn Valley, CA (at my Mom's residence) to a long, siren-like howl (referred to as an Ohio howl, I believe) that went on for at least 20 seconds at a volume that was simply surreal. There are no wolves in this area, and no dog made that cry. It was dead-silent for many minutes afterward. All the normal morning sounds had stopped. And the cry came from easily a mile away, yet still boomed down the valley.

Well, it's hard for me to think of three things, but then, I'm a skeptic, I don't believe nor disbelieve. So here are three things that make me open to the possibility of BF. 1. Tirademan's archives. They show BF or Wildmen are not a recent phenomenon. 2. The relic hominid theory. We know there were many branches in the hominid family tree. 3. A few strange personal experiences and stories told by my family who have lived a very rural lifestyle. I can come up with reasonable and logical explanations for each one, and none of these experiences or stories were in any way thought to be BF related when they happened, but thinking about them after learning more, I often wonder.

No that's for some other rant thread. I doubt you would ignore those things you dislike when you are in the field though. Being blind and deaf is no way to find an acorn.

How about spiral fractures being cause by things that we know exist? Like wolves, bears, and accidents. http://www.arlis.org/docs/vol2/hydropower/APA_DOC_no._2306.pdf I've posted this before, normal things, not Bigfoot cause spiral fractures.

↑↑ I completely agree. Even the invite came with built in excuses. Just more campfire stories. This subject needs more serious researchers like you . Ones who go out and try to a collect specimen in the name of science.
