Best interaction of yeah and nay, and best explanation for Bigfoot being genuine that I’ve read!

Apparently plenty of wolves in my area, Norseman. Went on a ride today with my girlfriend's dad and we came across a bunch of wolf scat, though all over a week old. Must have been a pack moving through in order to leave multiple piles like this within 25 yards... Then, about a 1/4-mile up that skid trail, then another 100 yards down a game trail, I discovered a tree with very odd damage. This was a young pine tree, maybe 10-15 years old, and about 20' tall. At about 7' off the ground, it was twisted and bent over. No other trees in the area had similar damage. It was right along a game trail with no motor vehicle tracks, or ability for anything larger than a motorcycle to get through. The trail ended about 50 yards later at a huckleberry patch. Also lots of thimble berry plants and wild strawberry plants. A dead stump had been recently ripped apart as well. I have no explanation for how this tree was damaged like this, other than a Bigfoot marking territory, or a trail. Also, later on our ride, we went to the camping spot that my girlfriend and I used last summer in which we found similar damage to trees. From last summer... Today, about 1/4-mile up the gravel road from the camping spot, we detected a horrible odor. Smelled like skunk, feces, and BO all rolled into one. Was just for a few yards, then it was gone. Turned around to go check it out and it was gone. This was the section of road it was on... So, still no sighting. But, some strong sign and possibly got close enough to smell one, lol.

You make some valid points, but the evidence is much stronger than you seem to think. The Native Americans attributed the supernatural and their spiritual beliefs to every animal they were familiar with, including wolves, bear, deer, crows, turtles etc... That in no way can be used invalidate hundreds and potentially thousands of years worth of Native American legends of these creatures. I understand that eyewitnesses can be unreliable. But we are talking over 10,000 eyewitnesses across a time frame of hundreds of years going back to at least the time of Samuel de' Champlain. Surely not all of these eyewitnesses are hoaxers, liars, or misidentifying "normal" animals. That would be even more incredulous and would stretch the imagination even further than supposing Bigfoot exists. Footprints can be faked, but by and large the hoaxes are easily identifiable as such by trained investigators. Grover Krantz even offered $10,000 cash to anyone who could fool him with a fake track. Needless to say the cash amount had no takers. Track casts with dermal ridges and a mid-tarsal break are outside the scope of ability of most hoaxers with their plain wooden stompers. Add to this the remote and inaccessible locations of many of these track finds, and the probability of them all being hoaxes diminishes significantly. The Patterson-Gimlin Film is the Holy Grail of Bigfoot evidence, and perhaps the single strongest piece of evidence for the creature's existence. Till this day it has never been debunked, and no one has convincingly demonstrated how such a costume could have been made in 1967. The technology to make such a costume didn't exist in 1967. So your assumption that Bigfoot doesn't exist is more unlikely and indeed more difficult to prove than the inverse.

I noticed there was a Dr. Alley booth at the Metalline Falls event this past weekend selling this book. Yet, it is still not yet available to purchase online. Bummer. Edit: whoever down voted, explain yourself. It is disrespectful to the author's book. People in bigfootery put a lot of effort into their work. Often these small time publications do not make much money, if they break even at all.

Look where the topic came from. "Distraction" was the goal. I'd as soon light his alter on fire as let him go on freely.

Most of my field trips tend to be work related, but at least it takes me to some pretty cool and occasionally remote locations in northern BC. This is between Bob Quinn and Bell 2, BC, roughly 100 miles due east of Wrangell, AK. So many bears here, typically seeing 7-10 black bears a day and a handful of grizzlies over the shift. Closest reported sighting to here is this - from 2 years ago and about 100 miles south: https://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=65630 Very few people in this country and most places on the map aren't even towns, just gas stations/camps or lodges.

1) Mountain Monsters is everything wrong with Bigfoot television, if that's the one with Trapper... it's nothing more than live action redneck scooby doo (Sheep squatch my ass.....) 2) Yeah you'll likely need a body, but it's not moral flexibility.... that's pc for possible murder. Your contempt for them is obvious but at the end of the day, tehy are still the ones who would be the ones to declare it real or not.
