Draft the frickin email and tell me who to send it to and I'll do it. But I don't believe your efforts are worth the time it takes. If you completely disagree...draft it, give me my local F&W email Addy and I'll take 10 seconds to send. Stop the constant griping and hijacking of threads.

I've been waiting for your usual once every 2 weekish hijacking of a thread to rant about how know one follows your lead. I dont believe anyone here opposes your efforts Hiflier, or gets joy in your failures for that matter. What we oppose is your constant rants in regards to others not following your lead.

Mine isn't: https://bigfootforums.com/topic/64464-possible-daylight-sighting-of-a-sasquatch-on-the-omaha-indian-reservation-report-59757/ Neither is this one: https://bigfootforums.com/topic/33934-father-and-son-are-approached-by-three-large-bipeds-while-fishing-at-dusk-west-of-asbury-report-36514/ Or this one: https://bigfootforums.com/topic/55408-early-morning-commuter-swerves-to-miss-tall-hairy-figure-near-grain-valley-report-56438/ These are witnesses I know, whose lives changed after their sightings, in Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri. (My life didn't change, because I was out looking already)

agreed. I actually think the ratio is likely higher than that, especially on the Reservations.

Here is Canada. Gotta believe there's a lot of Sasquatch in Northern Canada, with not a lot of people there to have the encounters.

yeah me too... Maybe if we talk about sightings, the thread hi-jack will cease. Here is a map of most (imagine more in Canada and Alaska) reports in the SSR database. I'm working on the John Green reports (for probably the next couple of years)

..in the meantime, I DO spend a lot of time in the sightings section. I’ve commented on several sitings, and no one usually responds. I really enjoy reading about encounters. Gives me hope...

Sure. But if you're going to contact the US Dept. of Agriculture put a circle around the "X" because with the Feds I don't like using my real name If you're not comfortable using you're real name and address in the emails though then I would say to forget it. If it doesn't bother you then you can either add my name and address under yours and make the email a "we" or let me know when you're going to do it in each state and I will time my own accordingly. For CO: dnr_cpwcommission@state.co.us The letter below is NY in 2012. If you think anything has changed in the last 7 years then go for it wildlife@dec.ny.gov

I once saw a post by a person that hollowed out small logs or hunks of wood and hid cams in them. He made them look like they belonged in the forest and 'hid' them in plain site. He also used some of those fake rocks you can get at the garden department of many stores. After adding a little moss and some dirt, they were nearly invisible. I would think that a piece of bark off a nearby stump and some rocks could go a long way towards making a cam unnoticeable. 17x7

There are tons of outstanding and credible sighting reports. Check these two out: http://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=933 http://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=15821 Despite having a deep interest in sasquatchery and reading everything I run across on the subject, both of those reports I found when using this website's excellent SSR in data analysis. Another incredible set of reports are those coming from the Ocean Shores community in Grays Harbor, WA between 2012 & 2015: http://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_county_reports.asp?state=wa&county=Grays+Harbor

Like with most of the strange stuff the upside down tree in my estimation of probabilities is most likely human related. Just separating the dirt from the roots of a larger tree takes all day with tools. And the only way to get it into the ground without pile drivers is put it in a hole. The mental image some have of a BF lifting and slamming a large tree deep into the ground belongs on a King Kong movie not reality because the physics of doing that just does not work. This sort of monkey business is more often seen in human pranks than nature. Somehow I think BF has better things to do with their time.

Putting numbers to my argument about the forces required to drive a tree into the ground. From an engineering example I found, a 12 inch pile being driven into typical ground, by a 2200 lb ram from a pile driver dropping 6.5 feet, requires 5 blows per inch. That means every stroke of the pile driver drives the pile .2 inch. A BF lifting the tree and dropping it using the weight of the tree would get .2 inches of penetration with each drop. Since the BF likely weighs much less than the tree, the tree would exert more force when dropped that distance, than a 900 lb BF driving it. At some point extracting the tree from the hole would exceed the BF ability to lift it out for the succeeding drop. The numbers simply do not support a BF being capable of driving a large tree into the ground unless digging or some sort of drilling action is involved.

It's because few if any ever place any pressure on science and their scientists in particular to dig in hard on the subject. I honestly hate saying this, I really do, but over the last two years I have emailed primatologists, scientists, anthropologists, DNR people, F&W people and others and let me tell you, Hunster, I quit. It's pointless to continue any more efforts along those lines. What pisses me off most, Hunster, is everyone here knew I was putting in those efforts and just sat back and simply watched me fail. THEY WATCHED ME FAIL! I think some even enjoyed watching me fail so they could say, "See, hiflier? Told you so. NYAH, NYAH!" Everyone happy now? Here's the thing, 50 people will go out of their way, pay money, and show up at an Olympic Project Sasquatch Expedition, not find a Sasquatch, but I can't get even just two people on this entire Forum to write a simple email to help put some pressure where it needs to be put. So...yeah.....I quit. I'll get to look at more pictures of your stick structures though so all is not lost, right? That should make me happy.

A down vote? Good. At least it shows you read the post. People have told me they won't write emails because they have an attitude about me. But since when does someone's attitude supercede the discovery of the century? Any one who writes an email is dealing with an issue ONLY between themselves and F&W. If someone is going to do that and wants me to send one also in support I will do that with no questions asked. That's the way it should work if anyone is truly serious. If MIB, Norseman, Hunster, gigantor or anyone else decides to send an email to their respective F&W and asked me to send one too I wouldn't hesitate for a second. Anyone could count on me to do that no matter if they are long time members or new members. That goes for you , too, Inc1. I would do that. Why? because I think the official truth about Sasquatch is that important. It's more important than the Neanderthals, the Naledi, the Denisovans, Flores Hobbits, an all the rest. WAY more important! Science needs the pressure put on them to say biologists, zoologists, and all the rest. I've tried to do it alone. Anyone else has also gone it alone. WHY when it doesn't have to be that way? So yeah, give me the down vote, give me a hundred of 'em, it changes nothing. Not the first time and won't be the last.
