It's hot & dry in Texas.....hard to find any prints right now....here are a few interesting impressions, the second appears to be a double print from a larger & smaller foot, an older smaller Sotol chew, and greetings from Bigtex:)

http://bigfootevidence.blogspot.com/2018/07/border-patrol-agent-has-bigfoot.html#more U.S. Border Patrol Agent's Bigfoot Story Few places are more wild and eerie than the vast barren lands of the U.S./Mexico border. The California section of the border is a hotspot for the U.S. Border Patrol to find undocumented immigrants before they make their way into the county. Many of these folks find their way through the treacherous Otay Mountains, which lie just north of the border near San Diego CA. A spooky sighting from border patrol agent Rocky Elmore indicates that it is not only immigrants who frequent these mountains. Bigfoot may actually call this region home. This harsh terrain has been the backdrop of many tales over the years, including crashed phantom pilots, faceless ghosts, and according to Agent Elmore, Sasquatch. After two decades of service along the border, Elmore thought he’d seen it all, which he details in his book ‘Out on Foot’. That changed the night that he came within close proximity to what he later came to find out was likely Bigfoot. According to Elmore, he was hot on the trail of some immigrants along the Otay River. A thick, creeping fog settled in when he heard a heavy splash in the water. Although the fog prevented him from seeing who or what crashed into the water, he could sense something that was both large and frightening. A chill zapped down his spine as intense fear filled his body. He wasn’t alone in his terror; coyotes near the water ran past Elmore, retreating from whatever had suddenly made itself known in the black waters beyond the fog. A colleague operating a thermal scope later confided in Elmore that he had seen a big, bipedal creature with an intense heat signature that appeared to be stalking two agents who were on foot. They never saw the creature, but they were given the order to abandon the area immediately once the scope operator observed the unknown creature, who he termed a large “predator,” noting that the creature had come within just a few steps of the pair of unsuspecting government workers. This tale is among the most eerie Bigfoot sightings on record. What could have possibly created that enormous heat profile? This account just goes to show that wherever there are vast expanses of nearly uninhabited wilderness, there seem to always be wandering Sasquatch in the fog nearby.

Hello everyone, Rod from the UK here. I'm fascinated by the very real prospect a species like 'big foot' exists. Where I'm from on the moors we have many sightings of strange creatures from big cats to large humanoid creatures, I'm spending large amounts of time in the wilderness post COVID lockdown and hoping for a sighting of my own!

I'm going to have to disagree with most everything you said. You're rooting your argument in the separation of sasquatch DNA and human ... and you're almost certainly dead wrong. The reason is hybridization which almost certainly requires them to have 23 chromosome pairs, same us us, for viable hybrids, not "mules". That necessarily puts them vastly closer to us than they are to other known living primates. We can't cross with chimps, gorillas, etc. At least in Native American lore, we do indeed cross with sasquatch. I will agree that our known ancestors and "cousins" like Denisovans are likely closer to us than sasquatch, but I'm betting they're still Homo, not Pan or Gorilla. In the examination of DNA from the environment, that's too close to separate with e-DNA. Probably like blacktailed deer and mule deer, mulies being a more recently developed subspecies and the parent of both being nearly identical to the current Sitka blacktails. The difference is more visible in physical morphology than it is testable in genetics, especially with tests that focus on cursory differences rather than deeper differences. We may just have to agree to disagree. You're not going to convince me because I'm right and I'm not going to convince you because you're stubborn. One of the pluses to solving the puzzle is putting many of these old debates to rest once and for all. The bottom line is, I think, we can use e-DNA to home in on an area to search, but to actually discover bigfoot, we're going to have very fresh nuDNA, not just mtDNA, and we're going to have to have the cash to do the full genome test, not just a superficial test, and at least for me, that means absolute certainty about what the sample is.
