Creatures found in the fossil record share very similar traits to what is reportedly Bigfoot now. IT WAS THERE! Make no mistake about it. The question then becomes? Is it in north America right now in modern times? We need a body to prove it is. And if its already extinct? Then hopefully someday its fossils are discovered. I do not believe all reports, I do not believe this creature inhabits every state in the union or anything close to it. I tend to cast an appraising eye on areas that can still support our other giant omnivore the Grizzly Bear. There is a giant chunk of wilderness in the far east as well. Here is a cool video.

Actually got the idea for this thread from a post Natfoot did in the "Chatroom". Could be set up as a Poll I guess but I think there is more latitude for this topic without one. So what do you think? Words like "probably", "possibly", "may", or "might" are permissible but try to be more direct in your opinions if you can. I will start it off by saying...........Still Out There.

As Fall ushers itself into Winter, do your sasquatching adventures slow down or reduce? Mine use to fall off the proverbial table. Even though I have plenty of gear to keep me reasonably warm through the night, the thought of going to bed in 10F wasn't alluring. I decided to take the plunge and got a tipi and woodstove. It has opened up my world. I took it on its maiden voyage, under a controlled environment, rather than in the woods, to see how the tipi and woodstove performed. Wowser....70F on the inside with a door open and the woodstove at half capacity. It was in the high 40Fs. All of this for about 6 lbs for a tent and stove that can sleep two in the winter with gear for an extended stay. Three people no problem for a weekend. It is 7' tall at the peak so you can stand and mull around. Now, I can forge into the backcountry and carry the tipi and stove without any problem. I'd highly recommend it to others who want to stay warm and continue sasquatching year round. It remains to be seen whether the results present themselves. I know it will get me out there more often which helps the odds.

Welllll ... as of September 9th, still existed. How 'bout "know"? It's a good, and fitting, word. MIB

Sept 9 .. wood knock, a good one. I hadn't heard one I had any confidence in since 2012. Unless that knock was "Ghost of Bigfoot", there was at least one still alive that day. MIB

Folks are just as likely to have an encounter doing little or nothing around camp so why not settle back and just enjoy being there. My own enjoyment was there long before Bigfoot ever entered the picture. Still is.

Yessir, I just like to get my buzz on and go about my business, lol. I do some hiking, some carving, some fishing, etc. I do exactly as much as I intend to at the pace I choose to and all of that usually adds up to not much. I enjoy the hell out of it.

6 hrs a day for a stove like that is cake if in an enclosure. I do not go out hunting for squatch. I go and drink beer while taking daily or semi daily 3 hr hikes, depends on my gusto and relativity to water/gill fishing. I have the let them approach me style.

Still out there, and in danger of extinction.

I have to say still out there. Extinct isn't even a possibility for me. They either exist and people are seeing them, or they don't exist and all y'all are crazy.

I think he slammed his head into his desk in exasperation and want you to get search and rescue ready......I think it’s that millennium speak

Your opinion is squarely in the minority and so small as to be microscopic. You're the one who needs to present evidence to support your opinion not us to disprove otherwise. Have at it.

I was up on the north shore of Lake Superior this week to get in 2 last days of hiking. Wednesday started off quite cold (28 degrees and windy) and had about 1” of snow on the trail when we started. The snow melted quickly in areas that got morning sun. Trail condition was generally poor, muddy, icy and slippery in many places. Hiked the last 2 sections approximately 10 miles in around 7 hours including stops. The northern terminus of the trail overlooks the Pigeon River valley (US/Canada border). Thursday was a much nicer day, upper 50s. Hiked from Lutsen Mtn to Caribou Trail about 6.5 miles in 4 hours. I was breaking in new hiking boots (Asolo Flames). Boots worked great with a bit of adjustment. www.superiorhiking.org if anyone’s interested. Trail is 310 miles long, mostly follows the ridgeline above Lake Superior from MN/WI border all the way to US/Canada border. I’ve probably done about 1/3 through the years. Someday would like to do the thru hike but getting the wife to let me take 3-4 weeks to do it has proven difficult. The last pic was a fresh moose track that was not there 45 minutes before when we came through and then “summited” the final overlook at the end of the trail. Also saw some deer, found wolf and bear scat but the pics didn’t turn out...

I'm just amazed at how much you guys know about crap.

haha ! Take off eh ! Just took me a swig to yas !

Never was.
