But you wouldnt say a word. Which is your right to do so. Most habituators love the lime light and notoriety of being "experts" right up until you ask for evidence and then they act like you punched them in the mouth.

I was told here by an old member that the BFRO expeditions he was a member of? Cadre went in a couple of days before the customers and the expedition had certain rules like nobody was allowed out of their tents after midnight..... It all seemed rather Kindergarten to me. And quite frankly with turning a profit? The frame work was in place to plant evidence, and events before the expedition got there or after they were in bed. On top of all that? Expedition members are not allowed to carry firearms! It would be a shame if cadre got shot throwing peebles at peoples tents at 1 AM.

For many years I thought a sasquatch should be killed in order to prove their existence. After a few years debating with the skeptic community on the James Randi forum, and as society has polarized politically and ideologically, I have come to a complete reversal in my opinion. If people are so vociferous and militant in how they understand the world, whether that understanding is based on truth or a fantasy, let them steep in that world. Why should I care if they accept reality or not?

Yup. Think of it as like mowing your lawn. The sat camera builds an overall image with each pass it makes over the earth.

This happens because you are not looking at one image, but a "stitched" pic made up of many images. The camera in the sat takes a pic at a given resolution and Google Earth stitches them together to make one big image when you zoom out.

This post nails it. I have never met a single person who holds the claim of prolonged habituation that can provide a single piece of tangible evidence that can support their statements. The proof and evidence I have gotten to look at has about as much heft or substance as an empty paper plate sitting on someone backyard bird bath. They will come up with the most ridiculous and unfounded statements to defend their position of not sharing ( even though they continue to post hinting statements on a public forum ). IF such individuals do have such a situation going on then they are incredibility selfish ( they have to feel special somehow ) and either do not care about the species or they are entirely ignorant of the importance of the situation. The truth is " being visited by bigfoot " is not an everyday thing so it makes you cool, special or unique, this is something people grasp onto to give them some degree of self worth or importance. It is entirely psychological.

Huh! I tried that, in both 2D and 3D, and I thought I saw the lines conformed to ridges and shelves, but trying it again at your suggestion, I see that you're correct!

And those 5000 reports aren't even the beginning of the testimony. There are many reports I can think of that aren't in, for example, the SSR, BFRO, Green, or any other database. An example of that are the two direct experiences mentioned by Bobbie Short of Lyle Laverty before his involvement in the PG film event (an individual sighting near Hyampom, CA, and a nest find in the Scorpion Creek/Lonesome Ridge area, which is immediately adjacent to the PG film site). One can find no details of those two events. Is that because Laverty wisely chose to keep his experiences (as an official, on-duty USFS employee) confidential? Was he ordered to do so? The aboriginal experiences are another poorly recorded field of reports, and the quite literally go back at least 15,000 years in North America, and likely double that span of time. Bill Nelson reports several in his anthropology study of the Koyukon aboriginal group in his book "Make Prayers to the Raven", which is not a "Bigfoot book", but a study of the Koyukon peoples and their relationship with the natural world. Do people lie? Do they make up stories? Do they embellish rel events? Yes, yes, and yes, but the lawyeresque reasoning that justifies complete disregard for human testimony with regard to sasquatchery is beyond foolish; it's denialism. Human testimony can result in conviction of a capital crine, and has done so throughout human history. It is evidence, not proof, plain and simple.

Standing alone, yes it can be interpreted as that. Collectively however when finding regular patterns in over 5,000 reports, very different.

Has anyone you have run across claiming that they come in contact with Bigfoot on a regular basis, but to take a picture of one would be rude? Or a DNA sample from eaten fruit? Betrayal? Or a hair sample? Horrifying? But yet Bigfoot tells them telepathically X,Y or Z and you are to accept that as fact? And if you don't? They become irate? No one comes to mind like that? If you cant think of anyone? I cannot help you...

Can rattlesnakes be attack trained?

Yes. A couple years ago he did a seemingly intoxicated pod-cast where he was disparaging of the research community and the topic in general. I came away from listening to him with the idea he would most likely toss aside samples and report negative rather than actually go to the work of testing. No way to know, to prove, one way or the other. I don't have any confidence in him. I also do not trust Sykes. There were "holes" in his work that leave enough room for doubt to drive a semi truck through .. if you understand the subject matter. There is, at this point, no one individual, no one lab, I have any trust in. The only way to get reliable results is to have your sample tested by multiple facilities, "blind", and compare results afterwards. MIB
