More stories about coverups and genocide only help push the subject more into the realm of Woo.

I don't think there is any magic or paranormal involved, but I do think bigfoot can generally see cameras and can hear them. 1) I have a couple friends whose hearing is a bit better than mine who can hear a whine as the capacitors charge up to power the flash. Short range, but they do hear it. 2) I did an experiment with my trail cameras. I set two up facing each other in the dark, then tripped them so I could see what they look like under infared light. The are black cubes, no sign of camo at all. Makes sense since I.R. pictures are of differences in heat, not in differences of color. And if BF sees into the I.R. range, waves a bit longer than we see, which I already have first hand experiential evidence of, then likely they see the cameras as weird black rectangles on tree trunks too. 3) Another thing people foolishly ignore is deployment. Generally we set up game cameras looking at open spaces waiting for deer to walk in front of them. We don't usually set up cameras in heavy brush because the moving brush triggers pictures, sometimes thousands, when there's no critter involved. The bigfoots, at least those near me, stayed concealed even in dark which means they were not standing / lurking in the kind of places hunters would set up cameras. I do not expect much in the way of incidental bigfoot pictures on cameras set up for deer. If you want pictures of bigfoot on a camera you have to set it up FOR BIGFOOT. That means those millions of hunters' cameras ... are a red herring argument. The only ones that count are the ones 'footers put out, understanding 'foot habits (which we really don't, we only hope we do), in places there are actually bigfoots. In other words, of the fifty eleven bazillion trail cams out there, only about 3 are in useful places. The rest .. so far as bigfoot, are a waste of batteries. IMHO. MIB

Should I guess the points you have are from Atlatl darts? I looked at Atlatl darts a while back. They are all over the world. Something like 200 names for them. I think that Atlatl darts/points should be used to trace human migrations. The Atlatl goes back 30,000 years in Europe and about 12,000 in North America. Wooden objects don't survive the ravages of time too well. The Atlatl could go back further. Mungo Man ( Australia ) was dated to 42,000 years BP. I think that I have seen an older age. Mungo Man had arthritus in his right elbow and it has been labeled ""Atlatl Elbow". For me, a group that indicates migration by boats was a group that lived at the tip of Baja Californisa until the 16th century was the 'Pericues'. They were there at least 10,000 years ago. They did not practice agriculture but had boats. Darts too. Physically, they were similar to the Lagoa Santa finds ( Brazil ) and both groups were closer to Australian aboriginals and Melanesians than to Siberians. The invading Spanish learned from the Aztecs that the Atlatl darts were great for fishing and armor piercing except for metal plates. Atlatl groups have formed for 'retro' dart throwing contests. An example of launching darts is in the movie "Quigley Down Under". The Aboriginal group that saved Quigley teach him the technique of the launch. You can watch the movie to appreciate the Atlatl and the long rifle. So, Bipedalist, you want citations? Speeding, double parking? Rock bound footprints........you left off the dinosaur tracks and the moonshine. Fun loving Texas town during the depression. They did not need help in Texas. Moonshine and dino tracks......had to be fun.

^^^^ That's why I went with the Nikon P900 .. 83x optical magnification. The stabilization software is pretty decent. It is a bit bulky but nothing like a DSLR. MIB

The weather was so nice my son and I went up into the GPNF Tuesday. We decided to check out our control specimen. The road was plowed for a ways. Right up to the road we needed to take, which someone else had driven down, probably last weekend. So it wasn't to bad to drive close to where we needed to go in about 12" of snow. Since it was pretty much a dead end road into there, no other cars were seen for about 20 miles. Very quiet. We had the whole area to ourselves. We strapped on our snowshoes and headed up the road, then into the woods. Took them off in the woods because there wasn't much snow in there. The first pictures are leaving the SUV. Then up in the area around the control specimen. That was me standing next to the bones. The next picture was interesting because of what I found on a stump close by. The vertebrae were close so it didn't take much to get them there. But the black hoof was carried there from about 40 yards away. Because these bones were moved here about a year ago probably by the cougar that feed on them. The hooves were at the original spot. I saw fresh evidence of rodent gnawing and possibly mink canine impressions on the bones. So it was probably the mink or more likely a woodrat that moved them onto the stump. The only tracks we found in this area were elk tracks. There were quite a few here and there. These pictures are for those that think snowshoe tracks can easily be mistaken for BF tracks. For one thing they are side by side, with short steps and only about a half inch deep. And they don't even look like a footprint. We drove back down the road a little after lunch and hiked an old logging road a half mile or so back into the woods. My son and I both caught a skunk like odor for a few seconds. Don't know what it was, since I've never seen any skunks at this elevation even in the summer. A big gravel pit we checked for tracks. Only elk and human. Mt St Helens and sunset. I threw in this one because of the interesting effect. I didn't have a tripod, so I rested it on the car and that is what I got. Even though it was just a sliver of a cresent, you could see the whole moon. It was a great day to be in the outdoors!
