What makes you think this Avenue hasn’t been explored? Has anyone listened to Kantz, Bindernagel and Meldrum? What do they say about academia and official channels? I called US fish and game about the protocol of discovering new species. Their response? There are no new species in the US to discover..... Either they do not know OR they are covering it up. Either way? They are not going to help. The Bauman story, the Ape canyon story, the GCBRO story, the NAWAC story, the Justin Smeja story...... and many others. People do shoot at these things if the reports are true. But as a hunter? You know full well that shooting at one and collecting a body are two different things. Right? I think luck has more to do with it than anything. Gotta be at the right place at the right time with the right gun and gear and then you must possess a killers heart and the conviction to see it through. If any of these components are lacking? It’s either a cool story, or just another mundane day in the woods.

Why would I believe them less than any of it? If your looking for absolute truths? Your in the wrong field!

Maybe, or maybe when push comes to shove, they decide prudence is the better part of valor .. maybe tomorrow will be a safer day to pull the trigger. Can't say that I blame them. I remember "the plan" when I first started going out: if I had activity in camp, I was going to unzip my tent, just stick one hand out, move it around, and see if "anyone" would touch it. So when the footsteps were moving around camp, tree knocks were happening, apparent infrasound, and all that, you know what I did? I said something to the effect of "forget" this, I think I'll try that NEXT time. "Next time" has come and gone several times now and I still haven't done that. It is easy to be big and brave talking trash from the safety of your couch at home with the lights on. It is a whole different story out there in the dark, alone, with a myth that can see you but you can't see it. Suddenly prudence makes a whole world more sense. MIB

If we can't see them they won't be able to see us either . Boy I don't want this to be a pissing match but if they are within range and showing them selves thermal will see them and night vision will see everything else . When you say how many others ? How many people who are in an active location are going out with thermal , night vision with the intention of killing one? I think most hunting for them never see one . The people who seem to have the encounters are the ones who pose no risk to them . We have members here and I think including you ? Who have said they have had many encounters if I am remembering the right person. If not I apologize . The prokill never seem to have an encounter or there would be a body already .

You are right Hiflier. It would be much more less of a headache to just write a letter to the proper authorities then to risk ones life and pursue these creatures. It makes way more sense. Why no one does not want to pursue this angle does not make sense since the only bad thing that can happen will be laughter on your expense. You would think that it would be that easy to find the right people willing to risk their lives on killing just one of these creatures . But this is not the case as history has shown. You would think that an AR10 and night vision would do the job . But how many others have thought the same way and where is a body thinking this same way? Sure it is easy to be brave out of the woods where one is not growling at it you. Where one is not breaking four to seven inch diameter tree limbs and letting you know who is boss. I am not just talking about one creature that might be in front of you but three or four surrounding your group doing the same thing. Not just that these creatures pushing your group where they want you to be and being out smarted. The worst thing that would happen is that they would split your group . Am I speculating maybe. Yes, I know that you are not pro kill. But I do know that they can be dangerous when it comes down to it.

I don't think that's the reason at all . People are out large game hunting whether it's whitetail , elk , grizzly , moose ,what ever and it's not their first thought to shoot one if they see one. Some claimed as they viewed it's face through a rifle scope it looked sort of human. I grant you if they are being chased and threatened some have fired wild shots at them according to some stories but for the most part when you're out hunting if you see one your first thought isn't to blow it's head apart and I think most hunters think the same way . Now on the flip side if you are actively hunting one to kill it that's another story . If I was doing this I wouldn't be alone and I would have the proper gear and weapons where fear of being ripped apart isn't really high on my list . 5 guys with the proper night vision gear and AR10's , the only thing running scared would be the bigfoot's if that was my sole goal. But I'm not pro kill

I missed the Mile High Mystery Conference this year but will hopefully catch the video if they release it. I will also buy this book, even though it is "imperfect." I would like to see more BF authors take the time to ensure their books are crafted well. Little mistakes make a difference. Presentation matters. Packaging matters. Hiring an editor is worth it. Just don't over pay to get good value on return.

I think it could easily have been a bear that the tag attached itself to, since they are attracted to many man made materials. There could have been enough scent on the tag to lure one in. I agree that a bigfoot would likely have some grooming tendencies and hands dexterous enough to remove a bur. Not to say the tag couldn't attach itself to a bigfoot, because i do think they would get caught in their hair. I once found a curious hair sample that happened to be accompanied by 5 cockleburs all removed from the same animal in an area no larger than 4'x4'. That animal definitely did groom itself.
