Practice makes perfect, especially if your hungry. We also have to consider this, these creatures have been spotted throwing objects at potential prey animals. Side note: I actually have been hit with a rock that came flying out of the woods, about the half the size of a golf ball. I think it was in late fall 2011 back in Michigan, I had a massive lump on my head for about two days. In 2009 after my sighting I and my family examined the dead fawn that the sasquatch had been carrying around. We noted that the very center of the skull was crushed by some kind of round blunt object ( behind the orbital sockets directly over the brain case ). The sighting took place within a few hundred feet of a large rock pile. Just a few events that I thought those reading may consider.

True enough, We only need a repeating signature from multiple samples that is diverged enough from humans and apes yet closest to those to perk up some scientists ears.

This smells like a setup thread to advance the PM and SRR, just kidding. You have forced my hand, I am signing up this next week for PM.

JK Hiflier!

Years ago a friend and i were sitting on a rock next to a house, we were about to eat, he had brought lunch in a brown bag, set it down then walked off to his car. A crow came down, right in front of me and grabbed it, flew up to the peak of the roof and ate his lunch, inaccessibly, in front of him. I thought that displayed quite a good bit of intelligence and rakishness. Currently i have a troupe of Ravens that reside in the woods out front. I often wake to their croaky calls and we frequently chat out in our shared turf. Maybe i get more out of the conversation than they do, IDK. I was recently in the canyon-y Southwest, where Ravens and i would frequently watch each other. It was interesting to see them choose just the perch I had in mind for myself had i been where they were headed. They know what's up, i'm convinced. I've read Lawrence Kilham's On Watching Birds but he wrote The American Crow and Common Raven which I've not yet but it looks really good: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97572.The_American_Crow_Common_Raven?from_search=true ".....This book explains especially the social systems of these birds, from cooperative breeding to predator mobbing. Difficult topics such as 'play' and 'thinking' in crows are interestingly and critically presented. . . . an appealing volume." --Choice " . . . his book is one of the best, most informative and engaging ones yet written about how some of these birds live, think, and feel. Kilham on crows compares favorably with Tinbergen on gulls, Goodall on chimpanzees, and Lorenz on dogs and jackdaws." --Smithsonian "

Only known animal communication I ever had documented is a bet with a friend on the Appalachian Trail South of Cosby Knob, Tn., abt. 1982 I bet him how much you wanna bet I can call in that raven on the farthest ridge across a valley that bird and ridge was visible to the two of us; his response, no way. Fast forward to five to ten raven calls later we watched an abrupt change like airtraffic control had said, " scoot here, fast". Next five minutes, that raven was cocking his head over the two of us on the far ridge away from it, no words shared other than friends, wow!
