Bought a smittybuilt roof top tent. Could not find a Silverado bed rack anywhere so I had one built. Go to the cardiologist tomorrow. And then to Post Falls Idaho to 4 wheel drive parts to get the tent installed.... Driving down to New Mexico to see new grand baby and wanna spend some time in the Colorado Rockies along the way!

They may have been nighthawks in the recording. Then again, who knows? I slept in the back of my pickup. It has a hard canopy. I also had a 10x10 pop-up over the back part of the truck, so I would have a dry place to get out in the middle of the night. I lost my entire colon fifteen years or so ago to ulcerative colitis and I have to get up several times a night to take care of business, so I need it to be as easy as possible. TMI, I know. The funny part is that the rain would collect on the roof part of the pop up. Of course, while I was lying in the back of the truck listening, and imagining a 9 foot tall creature outside, it decided to dump that water load on top of the canopy in one large whoosh! Scared the bejeepers out of me. LOL Then it would wait until I was almost asleep and do it again, and again. I have had better nights' sleep, believe me. Still, it was fun, and always nice to get out in the woods.

Thanks for sharing Madison. Selecting a ghillie suit is like tying a fly in fly fishing. You must "match the hatch". The video above is in tall grass. Where I am it is dense and coniferous. No doubt a ghillie suit can make you nearly invisible. One of these days I will make one. Until then I use the ASAT Vanish Leafy Suit which slips over your existing clothes. Note in the two turkey pictures below the suit on the right looks to have more green. It doesn't. There is no green in the suit at all. Just light tan, brown, and black. The suit is the same in all 4 pictures. The light tan reflects the colors it is near.

My first encounter the two adult BF were whooping at each other as they moved through the woods. That whoop could be construed as a bark I suppose but it was more like what a human could produce by vocalizing "whooop". The "P" was definitely pronounced.

Exack-a-dackly. I'm just looking for truth. I spent the night up there a week ago. It was quite spooky. I didn't get anything in the way of audio recordings, because it was raining pretty hard the whole time I was there. All I would have recorded would have been the sounds of rain. But I did hear some unusual sounds coming from the tree tops on several sides of my camp. It sounded like a loud stomach growling noise, from time to time. Makes ya go, "Hmm?" I still do not know what it was. Some people might think owl, but I have never heard an owl make that sound. Also heard twice a sound that almost sounded human from the woods there that sounded like someone saying, "Whah?" in a fairly low-pitched voice. No idea there, either.

Greetings from Massachusetts. Never had a sighting but can't get enough of reading/researching bigfoot etc. Excited to be apart of the forum.

Huntster "The environmental industry. Here's another curious entity who is strangely silent on this issue. These folks have found no creature too large or too smallto save, from blue whales to polar bears to marbled murrelets to snail darters to monarch butterflies. They are even party to and supporters of the federal protections for freaking sea gulls. And have they looked into this matter? Again, complete silence. Nothing. Zero. Nil. Nada. Zip. They are as quiet as government, their partner in the control of all things wild and free." The environmentalists are for the most part, pretty bipolar in a lot of aspects. They espouse support for clean air, and urge avoidance of burning things that produce carbon dioxide, yet at the same time claim that letting forest fires burn is good for the forest. The Forest Service ignores a fire until it gets big enough to threaten structures but preach the official line of global warming every chance they can. Meanwhile people are charged to have their cars tested for emissions while one forest fire can produce more pollution that all the cars in the state produce in decades. How can people that demonstrate that kind of logic be expected to deal with something of potentially great inconvenience to forest management? They simply choose not to.

And that statement illustrates the entire problem: 1) "Science" cannot and should not state that anything does or does not exist. As a method of learning, it's basic requirement is to study phenomenon. Sasquatchery exists. "Sasquatches" existed in the past ("Science" has already established that). The issue now is to explain sasquatchery. It is not only doing a horrible job of doing so, but as an industry and ideology, it is clearly guilty of extreme malpractice of the highest order. One simply has to look at the official (not academic) response to the publication of the PG film to see an example of that malpractice. 2) "Science" shouldn't even exist as an "entity". That may be a bit too deep for most to consider, so I'll simply say it in a way that a famous leader once did and leave it for another century of pain and misery to slowly realize; Beware the Science/Government complex. As Roger Knights (one of my favorite sasquatch commentators who has disappeared) once wrote; One cannot expect the citizen to collar the crook while the police eat donuts in their squad cars, especially when vigilantism is expressly prohibited and aggressively prosecuted. Sorry, I'm not going to passively allow somebody to blame me for failing to deliver a gift wrapped sasquatch to academia or the government while they aggressively insist that they don't exist, especially since I can fully expect to be criminally prosecuted for doing so while they proceed to ride into the ticker tape parade with the prize.

Science states that BF does not exist. BF enthusiasts say that it does. The same enthusiasts point to report sightings throughout almost the entire US. There are ones that claim to have evidence but withhold it for various reasons. Some claim that in “inner circles” there are multiple clear and convincing photos. Maybe as a BF community we need to like within as to why this mystery is not solved. We can and should point fingers at the government on the issue but we also need to realize fingers need to be pointed at us as well. We keep yelling there is smoke that should lead to a fire but we can’t reliably produce said smoke and get upset that they won’t acknowledge the fire.

Number 2.

That's pretty impressive metal work Norse. Looks great.

Hello from Tennessee and thank you for allowing me to be apart of Bigfoot Forums. I live near the Great Smoky mountains National Park which has its share of sighting. I have always been interested in this subject. Too many sightings and evidence for them not to be around. Nothing can change my mind. Thanks again

Congrats! This is grandchild #3?

I think it’s a pretty good article as well. I don’t believe in a scientific conspiracy against BF. It addresses accurately what I believe is bias among scientist but you can’t blame science as a whole for that. The problem(s), imo, is laziness or lack of interest.

It's a younger generation lass, like 80 or 90 years younger than you, different values, different angle, different everything.

Yes, society is so distracted BF easily blends in.

Some possibilities: 1) Meat caching, which bears do even during the non-winter, and which helps explain why sometimes sasquatches stink like bears or stray dogs that roll in carrion 2) They follow deer and elk down in elevation as the snows drive them lower, anyway, so hunting is still very possible 3) There are still a remarkable number of anadromous fish runs in the PNW in mid-winter, and I'm hoping to get into some of those winter steelhead and striper runs myself. 4) Again along the coast and lowest elevations, clam tides expose a hearty enough dinner in mid-winter to attract plenty of humans 5) Sasquatch activity level goes down, which reduces food intake needs a bit 6) Humans (to detect said sasquatches that are now closer to human habitations) are more prone to stay indoors or in town during winter and school season. 7) I'm always amazed when folks in the coastal PNW talk about winter as if it was some kind of burden. I travel through regularly from southcentral Alaska in mid-winter ow, and it's like a Garden of Eden compared to home, just like my home is balmy compared to the Arctic North Slope. And even here brown bears commonly wake up mid-winder and wander about.

Sometimes a dog bark is just a dog bark (with apologies to Freud :)) but if bigfoots are as good at mimicking various animals as lore suggests, then a bark being in their repertoire is a given. The question becomes one of absolutely eliminating regular dogs as the source of what you heard as well as eliminating all "normal" animal possibilities. Note that bears can give a sort of bark or woof/huff, but that's unlikely if it was coming from many locations since bears are not pack/herd animals. Elk will also "bark" .. and as I imagine the setting described, I think that is a real serious possibility. MIB
