Nothing wrong with throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks. For all I know, I am completely wrong and you are dead nuts accurate in your theory. Open dialogue goes a long way to viewing unknowns from different angles.

LOL, no offense at all taken! And digging up it's own dead wasn't really the idea as much as chasing rats which for an 800 pound buried-under-rocks individual would be all over the place. Anyway this is what happens when my brain goes into freefall- I try to think of as many angles as possible and sometimes things crop up without trying- like this whacked out idea. Trying to tie everything up into a nice neat package can't work EVERY time ya know Besides- it's a slow summer here on the ol' Forum and I thought I could get away scot free with something like this LOL.

Lack of fossil evidence in North America should not be a big surprise since there are no human fossils here either. We have to presume that BF like humans did, migrated here if not the last ice age like humans, then the one before that. That is not enough time to create fossils since mineralization of takes a very long time and requires special conditions for it to happen in the first place. . Another problems is that during the 1800s where archeology was cranking up world wide, and Native American skeletons were being discovered, sectarian influence was very strong in science. So much so that things that did not fit the sectarian view of history caused them to be dismissed or ignored. I think that had a lot to do with large skeletons sent to the Smithsonian disappearing. While it may not have been official policy of the institution, you can be sure that individuals might be willing to destroy or cause artifacts to disappear that conflicted with their personal beliefs. That prejudice works both ways with science more recently dismissing finds that support religious beliefs. That pendulum is now swinging because old texts are being used to find cities lost for millennia that were thought to be just fables. If fabled cities were real in such old texts, could it be that giants mentioned were also real? One has to wonder.

My own experience with a suspected grave site was that it was only recognizable as such for less than a year. The next year after the find I could not find it again. This was in the rock lahar on the East flank of Mt St Helens. Initially it was constructed of rocks placed in a rectangular formation about 12 feet long and 4 feet wide with a delicately balanced rock stack at one end. It looked like a bird. Without that rock stack, I would not have recognized it for anything but a natural formation other than the rectangular shape did not seem natural. The winter snow load, spring runoff, an unstable bank, and other natural factors apparently modified the original grave so I could not find it again the next year. Respective to MIBs concerns about relative numbers of graves, could it be that BF makes use of natural features as much as possible so that the graves pretty much blend into the environment?. Since they do not have shovels, and forest soils are full of rocks and roots, I would suspect that rock internment would be the method of choice. Cliff faces with talus slopes, lava tubes, caves, or rocky crags surrounded by loose rocks, would be ideal internment places with lots of rock materials handy to cover the body. Then there is the very frequent sighting reports of BF being observed in abandoned rock quarries. What are they hanging around a rock quarry for? I have wondered if they are using the abandoned quarries as burial sites. Humans recognize the quarries as artificial, or not natural, so would probably not notice that piles of rocks have been moved around to cover up a BF. I take particular interest in those old quarries when in the field. In one quarry I found a large mound of red rock that seemed to be the only red rock anywhere in the quarry. It was mounded just like the suspected grave in the lahar. The source seemed to be a talus field of red rock on the cliff above the quarry. It had been moved down and formed into the mound. Natural rock fall would not have formed a mound but would have created a fan shaped formation.

Lack of remains lying around means interment to me. Several primates including man, do something with remains. A creature that hides from man when it is alive and is very careful about not leaving footprints, is not going to let uncle Ugg die and just leave him laying there to be found, decay, and reveal the presence of the tribe to anyone passing by.

Not entirely true. Black bear remains generally are seldom found just lying around. As I've said, I grew up in a bear preserve. We had MANY bears and a few big cats ... cougar and bobcat. However, if you just took a walk around a random hillside, you'd be FAR more likely to find cat skeletal remains than bear skeletal remains. If all you had to go on was bone finds, you'd think black bear are about as rare as bigfoot. Not the case. The reason for this is their near-death behavior. Cats seem to lay up in places where they can see around them when sick ... little knobs and open-ish hillsides. Bears, on the other hand, seem to crawl into the deepest, thickest brush around for cover. It reflects the defensive orientation of their kind ... some "see and flee", others "hide". In the years I lived there, I never found a single bear skeleton that didn't have a bullet hole in it. The ones that died of natural causes did so in concealed locations. We don't know what bigfoot's habits are when deathly ill, suffering organic breakdown at end of life, etc. It might be interesting to read up on great apes ... I haven't so I don't know what you'd find. Just thinking out loud. We don't USUALLY find human remains just lying around, either. Only those of people who die alone and by accident. If you and I were walking down the street and you had a heart attack and died, I wouldn't just walk off leaving you there while I went for a latte. If BF is the human megafauna I think they are, the situation may be the same with them, same treatment and respect for their dead. It's just a guess, but as I've said, I know they exist, I've seen them. But .. I haven't found their skeletal remains. Must be a reason. I'm not automatically assuming some woo thing like I guess I'm supposed to according to scoftic agenda, I'm looking at the documented habits of the only proven natural biped ... us. It may not be the right answer but it's absolutely an option that has not been shown to be false yet. MIB

Frankly, a load of irrelevant BS. The vast majority of trail cameras are set up for deer, bear, or hogs. They're only going to catch bigfoot if they behave exactly like deer, bear, or hogs, or *by accident*. The scientists who captured those images knew the habits of their quarry so they knew how to set up the trap to maximize their chances of success. Show me one scientist who has that same level of knowledge of bigfoot's habits, then we'll talk. MIB

I look at it differently. I think you've got to be smoking bad dope to truly see a person on a wheeled device in that vid. I can see not buying into it being a bigfoot. "I'm not convinced" is a good answer. I'm a proponent but I'm not convinced this time. I don't see any reason an honest skeptic can't feel the same way. Taking it too far, making up ridiculous stuff that's just stupid considering the setting ... looks desperate. Looks like a faux-scoftic trying to convince themselves they don't believe. Do the denialists really need to go that far down that path? MIB

I read the reports a good while back about it being one of the production crew members. It was stated as fact. But now we see that was completely made up. Debunkers can call things a hoax while perpetrating a fraud of their own by how they present their facts. In order for that four wheeled vehicle Salubrious posted to glide smoothly along it would have to have magic shock absorbers, as Wendijo said, unless its driving down a level road like in the picture.

From this response its apparent you did not watch the video. The witness was explicit that no-one was across the river and there were no motorized vehicles over there, no people for several hundred miles, etc. You may regard your comment as debunked.
