All wild animals big or small are dangerous. I had to get 22 shots last year for rabies vaccine from a baby raccoon bite. Lol

I remember a man who had a very similar attitude towards "Grizzly people".....

Ok, so we dig up the malamute. We get hold of Chewbacca. Take DNA from each. Analyze it. Compare them to Ketchum's results. Case solved.

I noticed the subject in the original post question went away after the second post, which happens a lot in this forum. I am going to try and stick to the original subject. I grew up in Indiana and although I was fascinated with Bigfoot there wasn't much to research there. I moved to Florida 2 1/2 years ago and never even thought about it until I saw a news report about a sighting. Then I started doing research and looking at Google maps aerial photographs. I started figuring out that this state has the highest potential for getting trail cam footage than any other state in the nation. There are some areas that if they want to travel from one place to another they have no choice but to use a small section to cross like I 75. It's not a good idea to run across no matter what time of the day it is. So I started looking for areas within 50 miles of my location that had these kind of places. I tried to put out as many no glow cams as I can. Hopefully it will pay off. As for population, after researching all the sightings on BFRO and others that I have found I believe there might be as many as a thousand in this state. The unique part about this state is that if you saw one in the woods it would be gone in 2 to 3 seconds. As for movement, I do not believe the females and young move around as much as the males. I have found for 9 months in a row in an area a mother and juvenile that have stayed in the same area but I have found bigger male prints within 2 to 3 miles of that area. Since our area stays warm year round I do not believe they have as much need to move. It's more the wet and dry season. The winter is the dry season which there seems to be more sightings. The summer is hot and rains almost every day at some point so they have very little need to move. And the one thing that my trail cams have picked up is there are ample amounts of deer and pigs so food is not lacking here and things stay green year round. So I hope this stayed more to the first question that was asked on this subject. And I will keep updating as I find things.

Honobia? The Cowman? Spirit Lake? I'm sure to be leaving out many others. Yeah, a merry ol' band of groovy hippies. Got it! JDL, stop your unwarranted worry. After all, you're almost there!

If, per Einstein's theory of General Relativity (as currently used in space travel) in that time & space do not travel in straight lines is relevant, what does this do for absolute (black/white) thought patterns? Does it make such "relative"?

First of all Lucas did indeed draw Chewbacca's inspiration from his dog Indiana. I know this will be hard for some to understand, but his dog had nothing to do with the way Chewbacca looked. So the Bigfoot connection had nothing to do with Chewbacca. The "Inspiration" from his dog, was to give Han Solo a loyal companion in the way his dog was to him. Had nothing to with Bigfoot or the way the dog looked. Trhe reason the dog looked like a person going down the road is a large 130lb dog sitting in the front seat could be misidentified as a human. You know, just like when a human is misidentified as a Bigfoot, or an entire group of skiers is confused for a Bigfoot family. You should first start by looking at early concept sketches, then look into actually who designed the Chewbacca costume, "hint" it wasn't Lucas.... I guess Mel Brooks made the real vision of Lucas's Chewbacca with John Candy's role in Spaceballs.. Now that was straight up dog. The only connection that Chewbacca has with Bigfoot is the story of them filming in California and the crew telling Peter Mayhew not to wonder around in the woods while in costume so he would't get shot or hurt in case someone thought he was a Bigfoot.

Pup & Chewbacca bear little resemblance and the people observing pup riding in car seat mistook him for a homo sapien. All that seems to do is reinforce the notion of how unreliable eyewitness identification as a form of evidence is fraught with error. Maybe Lucas felt BF riding shotgun with Hans Solo was the better option?

The whole "the Bigfoot were just concerned and trying to help" meme really bothers me. I think it more likely that they thought she might have been loading food in the jeep. If Bigfoot were universally hostile I'd be dead. But I don't think they are universally benign either. I've caught one in the act of trying to steal a puppy from our tent. And the location where that happened in Nevada County, California is in one of Paulides' clusters. I know that there have been accounts of life-saving acts by Bigfoot, but there are also accounts of probable predation by Bigfoot. They do, by many accounts, seem drawn to human children and I've experienced this. Their lurking behaviors may be benign, but they are also creepy, the acts of the ultimate boogeymen. Boogers? Many NA described them as predators, kidnappers, etc. I'm not inclined to leave the vulnerable untended in their presence.
