Consider this: If these creatures exist, it would be difficult to accept that government hasn't known it for a long time. The Indian Wars ended in the early 1890's, so by that time, the federal government had a really good handle on the legal and cultural difficulties of negotiating with aboriginal peoples, and almost all Indian peoples recognize sasquatches as a race of wild people. The behavior (or, more accurately, the absolute absence of any and all behavior) of both California and federal governments after the filming of the PG event, even unto today, goes so beyond suspicion as to virtually scream out guilt. Both the California and federal government bully their way into every issue imaginable from the amount of water a urinal uses to the inspection of mattresses, yet we are to believe that they care so incompletely about the PG film that neither has ever so much as uttered a peep? Sorry. I lived a full life within government, and I can't accept that possibility. Therefore, I'm forced to believe that not only do they know that they exist, but they have conducted some study, or have closely monitored certain scientists or other appropriate people who have gathered intelligence on these creatures. There's no way they'd simply ignore them without gathering intelligence on them. Thus, if somebody is making headway with these creatures, and if government wants to keep these creatures low key, the researchers might be enticed to conduct their work quietly. A bit of funding and counseling might be proffered. It wouldn't take much to convince capable researchers to keep quiet about their knowledge. Simply reminding what "discovery" might mean to these creatures could be enough for researchers to continue their work quietly. I believe it's very possible that people might be doing the Goodall/Fossey thing with sasquatches as we discuss this, and it might not become public knowledge for another few decades.

I am not convinced that Standings photo's of a creature are real since I have tried very hard to even capture a picture of one. The only thing I was able to get was its eyes and I was not even trying to get a picture of these creatures. I was just trying to get pictures of deer coming to my bait pile.. When I had my encounter up north in Michigan I tried very hard to get a picture of these things and had no luck. We tried every thing with those trail cams. I even used my camper where I placed my video cam in my camper. It was placed on a table overlooking our camp site while we all went to town for a few hours. What was going on was is that these creatures would come into our camp site when we would all leave and take food or what ever other things that would be use full to them.. We would find their prints in places where they would come into our camp site so we would place the trail cams there. Well they would change on how they would come in and rummage through our stuff. But they did not take our expensive stuff like what a human would do like cameras, blankets and other stuff that some one would steel and pond. But food was their interest and salmon was the favorite. So we used salmon as a attractant and placed the cameras facing at each other across form each other so that they could not sneak up on the salmon. No luck. The one thing that worked at that time was a thermo and having us as bait. This is back in 2001 with a guy that came out with us with a call sign as thermos. I have video of this creature leaving our camp site running back into the woods for a split second. But that video I have not been able to find and feel bad that I have lost it. But I will scan that picture and post it and see if anyone here can work with that scanned photo. I am hoping I can find the negative to that picture which would be much better.

I have a picture of one that was taken on 06/27/08 on a trail cam on a bait pile. I scanned it on my scanner and tried to play around with it on photo shop to see if I could get a clear picture of the creature. The reason was all I had was the eyes since I had a flashing trail cam and it captured was these glowing blue eyes. A reflection from the flash of my trail cam that was at least 30 yards from where the creature was standing. What I can say is that the creature was at least 8' tall and I believe that the eyes were spread apart about 6" - 8" . When I tried to change the photo to a xray type of photo I could see a type of bearded human face with heavy eye brows and hair brushed back with a type of flat nose. There was no cone to it's head and it had a long mustache with the hair coming down to it's neck. I have not be able to find the negatives or else I would have an even clearer picture of this creature and would have posted these negatives on this forum. What I can do is post a scanned picture of what I do have and see if some one else can play with it and see what they can do with it. All I can say is what he has posted is not what I have seen and that is all I can say about Tod Standing . Maybe he has had an encounter and lost those encounters and had to fake what he has now. I am just saying that the pictures he is showing is not what I have seen. All I can say is that I have no reason to lie and I really have nothing to gain. If anything I have lost more by telling people that I have seen these creature then if I have not seen them at all. I would have done better to have kept my mouth shut then to have spoken about what I have encountered. I will try to post that picture so that you can judge it your self. For my self it was just a very lucky shot or was it. In my opinion they followed me from when I had my very first encounter in Foley Swamp, Huron National Forest, Michigan. The word chosen is real and I am now testing that theory by going to other parts of Michigan to see if they find me. I have cameras around my house just for this reason ever since I had a plum tree last year with plums on it have all the plums taken off the tree in a single night.But this is not the info you want.

Interesting comment - forested acres by state. I put the number of BFRO listings by state into a spreadsheet with BobbyO's forested acres by state, added state populations (2010 census), and generated a graph showing BFRO listings normalized for forested acres and population. Here are four graphs: 1 Number of BFRO Listings by State 2 Number of Forested Acres by State 3 Residents per Forested Acre by State 4 BFRO Listings by State Normalized for Forested Acres and Population. The last graph, while still being the result of some fairly sloppy data, to me represents a more likely sasquatch population distribution. If data for the Canadian Yukon, Northwest Territories, British Columbia, and Alberta (and perhaps Ontario) could be added, I think we could better flesh out what appears to me to be approaching a log-normal population distribution (common in nature). 1 BFRO Listings by State.pdf 2 Forested Acres by State.pdf 3 Residents per Forested Acre by State.pdf 4 BFRO Listings Normalized for People_Forested Acre by State.pdf

Oregon Coastal range. He goes up to see them. Apparently they come in when he goes into their area. The guy is a literal mountain man and I have had to communicate with him through a life long friend who has a phone and emails me. He wants me to meet the guy but I am leery of the situation. All I need to have happen is meet two strangers in the woods who want to take everything of value I have with me. I posted an ad on Craigslist looking for loggers with experience with BF. One of these guys responded. The ad did not last long and was flagged for removal by someone. Most likely a logging company.

I am dealing with a Habituator in Oregon right now. He is a pain in the tail to communicate with and I am afraid to meet him face to face. When I am sure I am not dealing with a dangerous nut job I will report my findings. I am not there yet.

I would rather see sustainable logging than forests allowed to get old, full of deadwood and burn up. We have plenty of Wilderness area where logging is prohibited. The National Forests could log considerably more and never run out of trees to log but they prefer to let the forest burn and destroy the health of people living in the area. We had many many days of very unhealthy air last year where you were warned not to go outside. At one point where I live, we were getting smoke from Canada, Oregon, and California too.

If you purchased the trail cam from a certified vendor and registered the cam with the factory, there is a chance that it might show up. Rarely a thief tries to use the serial number to get the factory to 'unlock' a camera. I have had one camera messed with. The effort to steal the camera stopped when they pulled back the camo and found the Python brand cable style lock.
