  1. If I were the biologist, I would not write the letter .. probably not at all, but certainly not that way. Biologists are bottom of the totem pole, necessary experts and resources/advisors, but not the policy makers. That biologist has no obligation to acknowledge receipt of your request nor any obligation to address your questions. First thing I would NOT do is answer the question without consulting with someone with sufficient authority within the department to officially speak for the department. (And such a person will probably kick it up from district to state level rather than go out on a limb themselves.) The response, if there is one at all, would read something to the effect of "existence or non-existence of primates in North America falls outside of my professional training and is outside my authority to give comment on. Have a nice day." You are not going to get an honest, straight forward answer from anyone unless they have been authorized to do so by their superiors. That is likely going to have to go clear to the top of whatever agency they work for. Unless they have decided it is time to break the story, you're going to get "no comment" in one form or another. If you've worked at all with state or federal agencies, you know it is foolish to think otherwise. If you have not worked with state or federal agencies, you simply are ignorant of the basic survival rules of bureaucracy. MIB

  2. Considering just how much evolution tinkers with the basic human floorplan in isolated Earth settings, imagine the evolutionary changes that will inevitably occur once mankind starts colonizing planets, moons, and constructed voluminous space stations. Let alone what vast changes genetic engineering will produce.

  3. I'm with you, but a better chance to do what you want to do on the East Coast on that basis ? I'd say so. Have a look how small some of these "Hot Spots" actually are Norse, compared to the West. For example, i know little to nothing about Ohio and Salt Fork State Park, except that it has an abundance of Sasquatch Reports and is just over 17k acres. It also lays in a County that is second highest in North America where "Multiple Creatures" are reported.

  5. I’ve thought of this. At first it will be a a bottleneck. Think astronauts and mission control. Once corporations start lifting off Earth? It will be more like the Wild West and the Oregon trail. Eventually factions will turn into new species, as humanity colonizes the cosmos.

  6. Through study and some experience, I think the viewpoint some have of them being creatures only of the forests and mountains is too limited. That's one of the points I bang on about from time to time. One reason for bringing up OK is that I have traveled there and seen the terrain, and it has thriving populations of the hairy guys. Shout out to Bigtex, for another example. They're all over the "hills" in the East. Once you see the terrain(s), the actual biology gets a little clearer.

  8. (PTSD) No, I cannot deal with that. But to dive right into it again and again that I can deal with and that is the insanity about dealing with these creatures. It is like taking a big long line of coke and staying high on it and never coming down from it. You are always on your toes cause you never know what will ever come next since there is no clues that they give. So as a hunter this gives you excitement and really gets your heart rate up there since there is some thing that can out smart you. You feel life in your soul and a purpose to live. Whether they found you or you found them it was fate and this cannot be changed. Your life is no longer the same that it once was. He has explained this very well where he just does not care what one thinks what he believes excepts for those who have experienced these creatures. I have always felt the same way as well except that I am not this great well known guide hunter. Never claimed to be and have always tried to explain my experience the best way I could. There is so much more to this creature behavior that needs to be learned and understood. People need to speak out about what they have observed and have experienced so that we can understand this creature.It is all about how they behave around us as humans.

  9. Dr. D.W. Grieve, anatomist at the Royal Free School of Medicine after analyzing the Patterson film in 1971: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterson–Gimlin_film There is also no shortage of individuals participating in this forum exhibiting signs of emotional irrationality and never having seen one of these creatures.
