For 100,000 views he might get upwards to $2,000 if people let the ads run during the video instead of closing the ads. And that is all dependent on the ads shown during the video. Those ads have to stay up and running for a certain amount of time to be counted as a view. A view of the ad, not the video itself. He makes nothing just on people watching the videos. But as I've done for years, I just click and close the ad before it has time to count as a payment to someone. And then they get nothing from my view of their video. You have upwards to around six seconds before it counts as revenue. Youtube has made it pretty hard in the last few years to make a lot of money unless you have upwards to half a million or more subscribers.

Reindeer antler. It's from Knives of the North, the Erapuu Puukko. Blade is 4 1/2 inches. I also have a bigger knife from them, but it's huge and I have small hands. I bought it so I could process wood, but i guess I'll use my saw or axe, and use this smaller knife for daily hiking use.

I just received this one. I love it!

You're making straw man arguments. My issue with Expedition Bigfoot has nothing to do with their P & L statement and everything to do with the consistant misrepresentation and outright hoaxing upon which the production was built. As far as I can tell, you're the only one bringing up Missing 411; if you really want to compare it with other reality TV productions, look no further than Josh Gates' current shows "Expedition Unknown" and "Expedition X" as well as the discontinued "Destination Truth". Those all have great production values, go where they say they will and don't need to insert fake drama to keep viewer's attention because there is real action and drama aplenty. When you've watched Josh and crew following a bi-pedal trackway through knee deep snow on a mountain side in Bhutan at night in a blizzard only to break off because a wolf pack is approaching, the phony maudlin dreck of Expedition Bigfoot isn't even good soap opera.

Most conference speakers at some point after their presentation, ask for a few questions from the audience. People are not going to protest but simply ask embarrassing questions. I have seen presenters at conferences pin each other down if they say something without supporting evidence. One of those questions might be why they considered the mine dangerous when the previous owners of the property conducted tourist tours in it. Others would be why they exaggerated distances between locations on the ranch by factors up to two. And finally someone is likely to ask about the algorithm that supposedly brought them there when sighting data bases do not seem to indicate activity in the area. They may have answers to any or all of these questions but the answers may not be something they want to share with the public. .

Hmmm. Is my argument that one might have a good chance for Bigfoot provenance in North America by looking for NOTCH2NL gene evidence a strawman argument? Of course, it might be if there is no such thing as a Bigfoot But then that sets up the experiment for determining that doesn't it? And my opinion from researching the science says that looking for that/those genes in the environment would be the ONLY broad scientific program that could succeed where so many other programs and expeditions have failed. The caveat, however, is going on the premise that the Bigfoot doesn't possess the NOTCH2NL genes that Humans possess. That said do you think such a program would be worth the time and effort it would take to deploy it? I mean, after all, it would only be the most important discovery of the last century and a half. Evidently, though, that discovery isn't important enough to science, and, since no one else is insisting on that kind of an approach, no one else either. So.....Solve For Bigfoot?......meh, who cares.

It was a common practice to stone people to death in 1st Century Judea. I've been stoned a few times myself, and in more ways than just getting rocks bounced off my hard, lumpy head..........

Agreed, who knows what the on-screen personalities knew or when they knew it. We have no idea in what sequence the various scenes were actually shot. It would be interesting to know how the concept of the show was presented to Dr. Mayor. She presents as a serious researcher with a solid reputation in her field; it's difficult to believe she would have signed on knowing in advance that the production would amount to little more than an over hyped hoax. I really hope that her reputation isn't damaged in the eyes of her peers (in the unlikely event any of them actually watched the show). I don't view this from the perspective of egos or the "Bigfoot community". Trust is another matter entirely, to my eyes the production is no more or less than an elaborate hoax, a web of lies and deception from beginning to end presented to viewers as a serious attempt to explore the subject. The premise of the show, that the timing and locale were chosen based on applying an advanced algorithm to some huge number of sighting reports, a lie. The locale is a remote wilderness area; this is a lie on it's face as motorized transport is illegal in designated wilderness and twice a lie as the actual locale is a privately owned commercial operation. The graphic used throughout the production, presented as a bird's eye view of the research area, was a fabrication massively misrepresenting both the physical features and scale of the research area. I could continue with the mysterious old wrecked pickup stumbled upon, the cemetary in the middle of the forest, the "deadly cinnabar" mine, all misrepresentations and/or outright lies. So, was there any truth at all in this production? About the only thing I think was at least possibly true was the deer seen in the thermal across the meadow. How much of the rest was hoaxed by the crew, possibly without the knowledge of the cast? I don't like being lied to, regardless of the subject, and I don't trust liars. Plug another subject in place of Bigfoot in the title; Expedition Tasmanian Tiger, Expedition Amelia Earhardt, Expedition (your choice here), a hoax is a hoax, a lie is a lie and lost trust is very difficult to overcome.

I think I saw a couple of them in the supermarket yesterday. They were really bulked up knuckle draggers. No mask or gloves and they seemed unconcerned about catching any modern viruses.

Birthday knife. I have gotten a knife for my birthday every year since I was a young boy, and big folders are a passion of mine. This year's birthday knife is the Cold Steel Large Espada. 5.5 inches of S35VN steel. This won't be a woods carry knife, but you can bet that it will be in the EDC rotation. It carries exceptionally well for a folder that has crossed the line from large into semi-absurd territory.

Vocalizations I have heard that I associated with sasquatchs was; yells every summer for a while that reminded me of a peacocks cadence only drawn out and not the actual sound of a peacock, but like one urraaaaaaahhh about 5 seconds long repeated every 10 min to half hour for hours. Super growly samurai chatter, girls speaking Chinese and whispering the same language, knocks, and extremely loud resonating African lion roars that were impossibly loud like hurt your ears and resonate in your chest loud and they were coming from at least 1/2 mile or more away. No barks though.

Ever since I was a kid my mother instructed me to hang the roll over. Her reason? Hanging the roll over the top was a sign of generous people. She said stingy people hung the roll under. So I think the Bigfoots hang the roll under, or.....just use rabbits. No offense Madison, but just as a precaution? I wouldn't let your cute pet outa your sight. Those Bigfoots are wily, sneaky and fast. Now that I think about it, the strong odor that witnesses report could either be the Bigfoot.....or the poor, hapless rabbit who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Any wolves out there? Sounds more like a short howl to me too with some barking off in the distance. Related to the barking, I encountered a pack of wild dogs once. They can be most anyplace. This pack came after me and I barely made it back to my truck before they caught up with me. They were a hell of a lot more scary than coyotes I have encountered. They had absolutely no fear and seemed intent on running me down. I would carry a gun in this area just because of them. I have experienced 4 vocal sounds out of bigfoot. Twice heard the BFRO "Ohio Howl". Once in Washington and once in Oregon. Both were about 2 AM. Bother were distant but had to have been very loud. Another sound was a growl when I tried to get one to break cover. The third was back and forth whooping as two moved through the woods abeam each other. They would whoop at each other every 20 or 30 seconds. And the forth was what sounded like a child speaking Chinese. There must be many more sounds they make but these four are all I have heard.

Not at all. I've seen many different fallacies as well as many truths. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

^^^^^ Correct. We have been "educated" to believe that the only species of the genus Homo left are us (Homo sapien), thus we are the only humans, and the only humans are us. Moreover, as we have seen and experienced as sasquatch "bleevers", any statements or even thoughts otherwise are open to denigration and hostility.

Everything on a BF forum is a strawman argument. That sounds like Peter Byrne talking!
