A trackway that Byrne found and followed for over a mile in snow actually walked along a downed tree, then jumped to another downed tree several feet away, then walked down that one. Sorry. AFAIC, that’s hoax proof.

For sure a possibility, the right tracks found by the right person/group and the rest could be history.

Oops, Sorry my mistake .14% might be true what the news reports on sightings and what people are willing to believe. Since people can be so gullible in what they read so this has to be added. Do I have this right where it is that it means 99.86% to be false and the rest to be true since people are willing to believe anything with out putting the effort in learning the truth. Now I am not trying to say that people are dumb but they are not placing effort in learning the truth and believing what is being told. A big difference there. Get us there when they are fresh and can track them when feasible and possible.

I read somewhere that 76% of all statistics are made up.

Thanks. I'll watch that later. Ironically, I just finished Clayton Mack's "Grizzly Bears and White Guys" chapter on sasquatch last night. Good book. Couple chapters to go. MIB

I've only been as far west from Williams lake as Anahim Lake, and that was 20 years ago. I do have an old highschool classmate who has lived in Bella Coola since we graduated in the early 60s. He's been a commercial fisherman out of that port virtually all his adult life, and we still correspond via facebook regularly, and occasionally in person when he ventures down here to the "Big Smoke". I don't know if his time there overlapped with Clayton's or not, but I'll ask him the next time we make contact.

I have. Beautiful area. The drive from Williams Lake to Bella Coola is an amazing drive through rugged ranch country then down through the coastal mountains into the Bella Coola valley. Great post, Norseman. Clayton's books (written by his doctor): "Grizzlies and White Guys" and "Bella Coola Man", are two of my all time favourites. Grizzlies and White Guys is mostly about stories when he was a Grizzly hunting guide. I've read it at least half a dozen times. I probably have 10 books on the people and area of Bella Coola. I doubt many people own this one:

I believe that at least 90% or more of the reports are lies and misidentifications. Perhaps 1% are hoaxes. Maybe 5% are kooks who believe their imaginations. If just one report is the real thing, whether yesterday or 40 years ago, this is the real thing. I believe it is the real thing.

I am with you on the dead truck. You know what they say, the more extreme 4x4, the further away from civilization when it breaks down.

The content of the 411 books is all of the cases that could not be explained away by mundane explanations

For those who say it is mostly men wanting to disappear, what evidence do you that anyone, much less many, did so? Can you provide one example of a Missing 411 case where that actually happened? If not, it is purely conjecture and, while you are entitled to your opinion, I would hasten to disagree with your assessment.

... or the darn things really are Homo sapiens sapiens with a set of gene segments activated that are inert / "junk" DNA in us and/or vice versa. I kinda doubt they're that close, but I won't be sure what they aren't 'til I know for sure what they are. Another thought ... the e-DNA showing there's something out there might allow agencies who've been suppressing evidence a way to wiggle out. Right now, if that's what's happening, no matter what they'd like to do now they're trapped by what was done in the past. "Oh look, something new." Then allow research to find it. Dunno. MIB
