Hello. I have had an interest in bigfoot stories since I was a young boy. I find this to be a fascinating topic and am looking forward to reading the content on this site.

Well.... if you had watched it? You would know. Cliff? Should be an expert on collecting DNA. Wood knocks and dental resin are not going to get it done.

Which one of these is not like the others:) 1 of the 5 mac users too... Angry young man back in the early 90's, somewhere in CO locking down an amoco office, with a bunch of fellow ruffians.

Yes but Meldrum and Bindernagel courted him (Standing) as well? And Stroud was testing the experts on camera. That’s not the same as a hoax.

Who exactly is going out there and spending time trying to friend them like Jane Goodall ? I haven't heard of anyone. People are afraid to get close to them. It's not so simple. It's terrifying. When you see how fast they move and the fact that your not leaving unless they let you leave. So unless someone has the courage and no fear of dying I don't see them being discovered for science. Except one being shot. There are not ton's of people out there trying to prove they are real. Most people still don't believe and don't go out into the woods. I also don't believe in the woo part. NA also believe all animals are spiritual and have powers.

I flew with a guy who was a marine special forces operator in Vietnam. If what he did was known, and he was fairly open with me because of my service record, he would be considered in today's world, a war criminal. They operated by slipping undetected into remote villages, in Vietcong territory, find the sympathetic to the North village leaders and assassinating them so there was no doubt it was done by US forces, then slipping away without detection. The objective being making being friendly with the North Vietnamese, dangerous to your health. They might spend days on an operation and were very careful to not mistakenly take out the wrong person or be detected. If someone with those skills were thrown against the bigfoot question, we just might succeed in establishing contact, observation, and collecting one for science. I suspect that the government has already used people with those skills for that purpose. While we weekend bigfoot research warriors, may think we are adequate for the task, most of us are not trained, equipped, and well practiced in the necessary skills to establish and maintain contact with a tribe of bigfoot that does not want to be found. Some who have in the military would be my best choice for similar operations regarding bigfoot.

I really don't think a single answer or factor is the magic answer, but I will rank them and comment on each: Are bigfoots too rare? I am very confident that these creatures are very rare. I really don't think there are many more than 5000 continent wide. Considering their huge range, which also holds approximately 1 million black bears, this makes for extremely low density. This is probably the primary reason why they are hard to catch. Are they dying out? I suspect they are, very slowly. I suspect their density was higher 1000 years ago, but we may never know that for sure. Are they migrating north to Canada? I believe they are becoming less dense in the American Lower 48 just like most larger mammals. As the human population increases, other large mammals are under increasing pressure. Canada, especially 150 miles and more north of the US border, holds many fewer humans and is a safer environment for larger mammals. Do bigfoots have super keen senses and brain power? When American immigrants met native Americans on the push west, they believed Indians had almost super keen senses in the wilds. Compared to city folk, they did. In a similar sense, modern man does not have the same senses that a prehistoric hominid would have in the wild. I believe in the case of sasquatches versus Homo sapiens, this is the case. Do they hide in steep mountain hide outs? This factor is closely related to their intellect and ability to survive in the wilderness. Yes, they probably inhabit the most wild areas that have no Homo sapiens there. There are probably more than one reason for this too. There are likely to be more resources for them to eat, and fewer humans to hide from. Do they detest humans which motivates them to hide better? I don't think it's as much hatred as it is fear and wisdom. All animals hide from us, Because we behave like super predators. However, park animals who do not see our predatory behavior, so they behave as if we are tourists, which we are.

Here are a few hike pics that are off subject, but cool.....a very friendly duck, cool cactus plant, a large Alligator Gar up in a tree, and a long way from water, weird.
