  1. I suspect that is true for them, too, we simply fail to adequately account for anatomical differences that affect what is easy and what is not. We also fail to consider differences in visibility because of height. One of my very good friends is 10. We've been buds since she was 4. Think about size .. as I am to her, bigfoot is to me. Just as there are places I stepped up easily without much thought which she struggled greatly with, there must be places bigfoot steps up easily that I would struggle with. Things that are obstacles to me that I might assume would squeeze a bigfoot into a camera trap might actually be things they'd step over without ever knowing there was a trap to avoid. At the same time, there may be things they'd have to stoop to go under, and so might go around because it's easier, that I'd just walk under ... same as I find true of things my friend walks under than I struggle with. In other words, so far as placement of cameras, we may be missing the boat in both directions. First, we may inadvertently assume they have to go around the same things we do but they do not, second, we may be walking around things that are not obstacles to us that are obstacles to them which we could otherwise use. And then there's visibility because of eye height ... which could work out the same way. Certainly I approach areas that might conceal something in such a way as to minimize my disadvantages and maximize my advantages. It's hard to mentally walk in their shoes but we must if we are to count on anything but luck. I don't know about you, but I ponder the possibility there's some bigfoot out there having the mirror image of the same thoughts about me, figuring out what I'm up to, figuring out how my limits might be different than theirs and how the differences might affect my behavior differently than theirs, and so on.

  2. Well, that's a bummer. One of the most disappointing behaviours in what should be sincere debate is the reflex to black hat ninja the person in discussion with you as being intellectually dishonest. Like they don't really care about the issue, they simply want to pull one over on you. Gigantor, I am a Bigfoot enthusiast. I love the subject. I love the history of the phenomenon. I love the inquiry of the subject. I do not want the subject to go away. I do not want people to stop believing in Bigfoot. I believed in Bigfoot for most of my life before becoming that evil word "skeptic". There's an REM song that comes to mind. I do want people to ask questions. Questions are everything. They are how we grow, how we progress, how we evolve intellectually. I want to know if Bigfoot really exists. If that animal is an actual living species of animal in North America the same as a mountain beaver or a spotted woodpecker, I will be absolutely ecstatic. I want that to be true. I won't accept it because someone said they saw it or because of bad footage. There is a fact of current Planet Earth that needs to be driven home over and over again to those who think Bigfoot is a living, breathing, pooing, breeding, eating, drinking species of animal in North America. People are working very hard over vast areas with the best technology available to document species that are in those areas, the ones they want to conserve and the ones they didn't expect to be there. Bigfoot is that giant, best possible example of the greatest success that all those ongoing efforts could produce. I have personally many times over reached out to these people conducting these research efforts to discuss the notion of Bigfoot/Sasquatch and their studies. Every time the response is the same. They welcome the idea, but there is nothing there in the way of reliable evidence that they can document to support the proposition. In all these places, which we are told is Bigfoot central, serious efforts with the best technology humans can employ to detect living creatures is being used to massive extent. So I ask... Where are the Bigfoots? The wolverines where we never thought any to be? They are there, on camera, DNA obtained. The wolves, the grizzlies where we thought not, they are there, documented, recorded. Where are the Bigfoots? Everywhere but where the work is being done. Everywhere where hope can persist. In the shadows, in the woods, somewhere, out there, but not where the work is actually being done in Bigfoot Central.

  3. We can play round-a-bout all you want. It won't work for you because your logic is flawed. The disappointing part is that you know it , so I have to question your intellectual honesty at this point.

  4. Nice try to dodge, but no cigar. So I'll answer your question: Obviously, not in the immediate, very limited area that the cameras were installed and cover. Say, 30 miles south of their position.
