Outstanding answer. Have a trophy.

Better and more readily available technology. A larger and easier to search body of research, reports, and accounts. A higher density of population in many areas to draw those accounts from. The internet and other communications that allow for a faster dissemination of information and reports. A larger segment of the population who believes in the existence of the creatures, which translates a larger number of people searching for that existence; as well as a larger more passive group of people who consume Bigfoot related media...which in turn fuels and finances the hunt in many ways.

I'm sort of coming around on him. Yeah, he has some negatives but there's a lot of positives to him as well. The Positives for me are. He doesn't need the views from bigfoot topics. His highest viewed videos aren't even bigfoot related, they're all hunting stories. He's a true outdoorsman who has dedicated his entire life to being outside in rugged wilderness Going along with that he has a wealth of knowledge on all topics regarding hunting, tracking, and wilderness He's realistic about things. He knows pictures will never prove anything and he doesn't make wild claims about being attacked by bigfoot or anything like that I just wish he'd stop being so **** cryptic

If science got involved then we wouldn't need this Forum because the Bigfoot would have been already proved real. What science so far has done hasn't been good enough and seems to always stop just short of proof. Just enough science to keep the carrot dangling in front of someone's nose but never enough to prove to the public that the Bigfoot is real. To me, it's a game of keeping the ball rolling to keep making money off the Bigfoot business side of things. Real science could have proved this creature long ago but it will not get itself involved in anything approaching a serious research program. To mainstream science, the Bigfoot may as well be a unicorn for all the interest science has. Some say that science isn't allowed to look at the Bigfoot as a real creature worthy of research and public discovery. Also, as long as the Bigfoot is thought to not exist, then a lot of money can be made by harvesting resources from its habitat. Discovery could put a halt to all of that money. Discovery could easily cost losses in revenue of a trillion dollars- probably three times that amount actually. There are many reasons why people might not wish to have the creature proved to exist.

I DO certainly understand what you mean and how you mean it. But think about it. Popularity is only significant to those craving it. It's kind of like giving attention to a bully. In this case he craves attention. I don't give him any. Sure, he has a bunch of sycophants lapping up what he's dishing out, but in the end, it's meaningless. Neither my, nor your lives, are really harmed or improved because of him. It's all just "Dust in the Wind" kind'a thing.
