@JanineRSP OK- I'll bite. I encountered two BF back in 1990 at night near Telluride CO on what is known as the Dallas Divide. I had each one of them in my brights of my truck at very close range- about 8 to 10 feet. I had a camera and might have been able to take a photo, but the idea of putting my camera outside the truck so as to avoid windshield glare when the flash went off was a bit daunting. They were really big; both were seated and I got a good idea of how larger they were because to get past them I had to drive around them- they were literally seated in my lane on the hiway.

Hello, is this thing on? It seems a great opportunity to share one's witness encounter has been offered. Time to step up to the plate, "knowers."

Thought I'd share some local news with a little smile. 🙂 https://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/happy-sasquatch-day-mid-islanders-say-creature-delivers-fruit-salad-on-march-26-1.4354583 Pat...

Over the past 15 years the Alaska Deot of Fish and Game, with the assistance of the Air Force and Army who own all of the land immediately north of the city of Anchorage and well up into the Chugach Mountains to the east, have been studying the bears that inhabit the city, bases, and surrounding area. After fitting a few dozen bears, including a thousand pound monster, one of their biggest surprises was that the bears descend into the congested parts of the city, even the downtown area, and essentially live in the greenbelts when the salmon arrive. And they do so, for the most part, without even being seen by the people. How do they do it? They fish the creeks at night, then go into the bushes and sleep all day long while people walk, ride bikes, skate, and travel the bike trails a few yards away. Then when the salmon runs subside, the bears head back up into the mountains to feast on the berries before winter. There are an estimated 300+ black bears and 60+ brown/grizzly bears within the municipality borders at any one time. The original Urban Bear study began in 2005. There have been at least three more since. Here's a link to one of the more recent studies of 9 bears. http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm%3Fadfg%3Dlivingwithbears.anchorageurbanbearsstorymap

This is really a nice storee. Just think if we all started doing it in our local area!

I suspect that they are plotting to take over the world...

An 800 lbs omnivore living in a boreal forest covered by snow for half the year? While not wandering aimlessly? I bet 90 percent of their time is consumed by hunting, fishing, gathering and preparing for winter. Also traveling with the seasonality of food sources. Berries, salmon runs, fawning, etc. 10 percent of the time is left for procreation, raising young, dealing with predators, caring for the ill, etc.

Another horrible suit, I thought it was easy to make a Patty suit, shoot, they did it back in '67.

Janine In what form and manner will this show help the community of Bigfooter's? I have only told my story once in public about my encounters and believe me it was not easy then.I have told of my encounters here on this very forum since 2000 when it was BFF 1.0 and encountered resistance. Since my encounters did not fit there so called Bigfoot should be or fit what the so called researchers wanted it to be. I have no problem expressing my self of what I actually encountered. The problem comes in the form of bringing proof. When I set out to find the truth it was for my self and that was it. But at the same time I wanted to have proof for others. This never turned out the way wants it to turn out. My proof came when I left everything to bring proof to others behind. Now I have been asked to go on news channels but refused.But maybe it might be time for me to tell my story but with out my name or who I am. The thing that has me is that i am not for fame nor for money. It is not about glory or non of that cr*p. It is all about getting to the truth.

One afternoon while bow hunting in the Oregon coast mountains, My brother and I came across a structure that was vine maple twisted and weaved into a wigwam type structure. No human evidence was found. A couple of hundred yards away, we were walking down an old cat road that had over grown until there was just an elk trail. It was lined with young fur and alder trees that were about 12 to 15 feet tall. All the tops were twisted and left hanging down at about 8 to 12 feet high. They went on for a long ways. No other trees were damaged. Just the ones lining the trail on the old road. The whole time we were following the trail we heard constant wood knocks. Two or three at a time.

Hi Friends! Thanks for checking out the thread. I totally understand the hesitation and I'd be glad to answer any questions I can. As I'm sure you can understand, there's only so much I can legally say right this second to protect the production. My goal here is just to respectfully listen to your stories and learn. The show we're making is very serious and professional and in no way a joke. As you all know better than anyone the BF community is very small and as things finalize I have to respect parties involved and can't yet share that info but I'd be happy to talk to anyone personally in a DM if you'd rather not post it on the thread. I'd eventually also chat with you folks on the phone to maybe see if your encounter could be a great fit for the series! Please let me know what else I can try to answer for you. Janine

That's true but misleadingly presented out of context. In those same books, Paulides says though he went in expecting to find a pattern pointing to bigfoot as the culprit, he had to back away from his expected conclusion because the data doesn't support it. In one of the books he said it looks more and more like patterns of claimed alien abduction. Don't jump to conclusions prematurely just to have the comfort of a conclusion because being wrong can "blind" you and kill you. Look for anything out of place. If something "feels" weird, stop and figure out why, don't be macho and try to bluff through it. Don't forget to look up. Watch for shimmery spots in the air. Until we know, by proving, what it is, we are foolish to make assumptions about what it is not. Erroneous certainty could prove fatal. MIB

Janine What exactly are you looking for ? Are looking for an encounter ?or just grasping for answers like the rest of us?All I can say is that cameras are not going to give you the answers that you are looking for. Every encounter that I have had was done with out a camera and audio. I had even gotten closer when I was told by elders that I was to burn photo's I had of them in the forest so that they could see I was for real to them. Now I am being open on a public forum about this and I am sure I have said this before. I am not sure how other hunters must have thought about me and my pittbull out in the middle of the woods doing these strange things. But I gained more knowledge then I thought I would ever dream off. Before I started it was all theory and needed to be tested but I was scared of the out come.But I had to grab my guts and just do it and wait for the out come. I kept hearing people about their encounters so I had to prove it to myself. So I started my search in 2001 on a report on the BFRO report # 2953 Washtenaw county, Mi Class A. It was this report that started it all for me. This report was the biggining for me.But it was not where I had my encounters or my sightings. Those events took place later after I had met other researchers in my state of Michigan. Those encounters are the ones that have brought to the Bff and have kept me loyal to this forum. What I can say is that this forum was not like it was back then like it is now. To post your encounter on this forum back then was like going through a gauntlet. There was no safe zone on this forum and you were on your own. You either had an encounter or you did not and no in between. If you are going to make a show then also show how these creatures effect people and how they are effected by others who have never seen these creatures.
