Twist ... no. A person who hasn't been there might think so but someone who has ... it rings true. Unless you've been there and done that you just can't conceive of how quiet they can be when they choose. It's not merely incredible, it's a bit unnerving. This is sheri's story, I'm not going to distract from it by interjecting mine in the middle, I'm just going to give her a hat tip and say "yep." MIB

Or perhaps it knows an old means. Some of the Southern Indians say they "walk above".

We'll agree to disagree then. Bigfoot often gets credited with every extreme skill possible to explain why it's so elusive. This is yet another one of those in my opinion. A flesh and blood creature IS going to make noise WHEN RUNNING through the woods. If there is deadfall, branches, and other debris on the ground and then covered up by much of the fallen leaves.....I don't buy bigfoot defies the basics of science and what his feet do to the material below it as it runs.

Thanks for the link ... took a while to find a break to listen to it. (I also listened to 1-2 others he did ... hopefully I'm not mixing up which is which. Kryder brings up some good points. I'm not sure all his assumptions / assertions are correct nor are all the things he interprets from them correct, however, there's a possibility he is correct so they're worth considering seriously, then considering the implications. Ultimately, we remain without clear, supportable answers. MIB

I'm going to stick with the sciences and what they tend to lead me to believe when it comes to a heavy animal running through a forest covered in fallen leaves and inevitably other debris. Even the ninja of the woods cannot place his feet while running in all the right spots on the ground while also most likely maintaining a visual on the would be intruder of its space. Perhaps its developed a new means of hover-running !!!!

You might be getting your jabs in but when you're using "Finding Bigfoot" to back up what you're saying, I know you're capable of being on the ropes..;) I don't know the answers to the questions, you know I don't. I'll go, in no particular order and I may add to this, States that don't have viable breeding populations. South Dakota North Dakota (possibly) Nebraska Delaware CT Massachusetts Nevada (maybe the northern part, but don't know enough about it) Rhode Island Kansas Maryland New Jersey Thats nearly 25% of States crossed off there...;) They may pass through these States, I wouldn't be surprised if they do, they might pass through to find areas that do have viable breeding populations maybe or other food sources.

Norse you keep saying "49 States" and insinuate that "the majority of people seem to think they are very numerous everywhere." Neither need to be true and without reading back over the 9 pages of this thread, I certainly don't recall the majority saying anything even remotely close to that. There are areas out East that I'd bet my house on having decent population pockets, there are other areas that I'd bet my house on not having a Sasquatch within 200 plus miles, heck I'd even say the same to that one out west. There has never been a lot of reports from where you live don't forget nor within a 100 mile or so radius even though it's great habitat, I have no idea why that is. None of the answers to this poll need anyone to think what you keep insinuating, and most certainly not the majority of people. It's all about Canada and Alaska, these two places blow all reasonable talk of populations out of the water by the habitat combined with little to no people of both. Yet as far as the BFRO database is concerned, Florida has more reports than both combined. That's 17m acres to 500m acres, yet only 20m to 35m people. Sasquatch doesn't need to be everywhere to be thriving, but yes it needs population pockets and enough of those doubled with the ability to move between them, for breeding purposes.

I got to see it because I looked up. I had been looking down at my watch and debating on whether to go forward or to leave. I didn't hear it at all. It made no sound when it was running and It was running when I looked up. It was running so fast if I had not looked up at that moment I believe I would have missed it.

I'm not trying to ridicule you. Im just trying to wrap my head around this poll....no pun intended. The majority of people seem to think they are very numerous and virtually everywhere. That's not my observation as a hunter,rancher,mule packer and long haul truck driver. So if I'm wrong I want to understand why.

If we are calling kettles black, I'd have to say I'm getting tired of your idiotic nonsense. Is that black enough for you? I'm getting tired of your entitled attitude. You're not doing anything to resolve the problem, you're trying to manipulate others into doing the hard work, taking the risks, and taking on the expenses while you sit on the sidelines and get your itch scratched at their expense. We had a retired union organizer here for a while trying to do the same thing. I knew him from another forum where he tried that there. Now you're doing the same thing. The simple fact is if I had evidence of adequate quality to warrant the expense of testing, I wouldn't have any trouble getting it tested. Do your homework. Get out of your mommy's basement and off the couch. If you want it done, do it yourself. MIB
