Went to Priest Lake friday. Anchored off of Eightmile island. Beautiful lake! Water was crystal clear and surface temp was 78 degrees. Got to try out my new Minelab. Found an old broken dock with lots of nails and bolts. Ring was a joke. Eventually found dimensional lumber at the bottom too. Didnt get rocks thrown at us from shore! Pretty quiet if biggie was trying to get cool. I threw the 460 Rowland in for good measure. BBQ tomahawk steaks that night for dinner. Some of the best I had ever eaten!

Wow, tough crowd. Downvoted for asking a pertinent question?

If you've never been, this is the big one. The one that started it all. The 60th Annual Bigfoot Daze Celebration takes place on Saturday, September 4th, 2021 in Willow Creek, California. 60 years! That means the fest is older than the PGF. Saturday Morning starts with a downtown parade at 10am followed by an ice cream social at the China Flat Museum. The festival is held in Veterans Park with food, retail vendors, music and activities. There are tons of fundraisers for local nonprofits as well. + Car Show Softball Tournament Waterslides, Bounce House and Rock Wall Horseshoe Tournament Adult and Kids Bikes Games Bigfoot Call Contest Watermelon Eating Contest Logging Competition

There's a speaker list: http://www.vabigfootcon.com/ or the ECBRO FB page also has the info. June 26th-27th 2021 @ New Hope Ruritan Club, 691 Battlefield Rd. Fort Defiance, VA

I certainly wouldn't fool with me. Hell, I don't even like myself. I most definitely don't like most men. But homo sapien women? Under caveman rules and culture, you bet I would. I'm even described as quite cavemanish by many of both genders. A young woman or two backpacking through my territory would most definitely get some attention, even if I didn't reveal myself. Children? Again, yes. I absolutely love watching children play. It's very entertaining.

i remember a bigfoot seminar in 2015 on the flathead reservation in a little blip charming town of hot springs. there was talk of bringing in dr alley but it did not work out. russl accord was there and an idaho woman named Betty cook. She was the tallest woman i have ever seen. she said she was 6ft6. im 6ft1 which i never thought was short. it felt like I was standing in a hole next to Betty. Wonderful woman and a good sport she is use to that. would have been better to have dr alley than the talk of what was “energy” of the beast to each there own .

Did you get a good look at them in order to determine their size and appearance?

After reviewing my options (FRS, GMRS, CB, MURS, Ham radio) and their technical differences, I concluded that I am better off with a GMRS radio instead of a ham radio or my current FRS unit. The main reason I chose GMRS is that when I go on these expeditions, most of the people just bring FRS radios, and I need to be able to connect to their frequencies quickly. A GMRS will have the same frequencies as FRS but more power (5 watts) and better reception. The additional cost of an FCC license is just $70 for 10 years (with no test). I purchased the Wouxun KG-805G for $100. See link below. https://www.buytwowayradios.com/wouxun-kg-805g.html I also got the GMRS license at the link below. It was not difficult to follow their web instructions and I got the license via email within a day. https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/universal-licensing-system Most of my outdoor explorations are by myself or with one other person, so I don't use radios for most of my outings. Maybe twice a year I might get invited to join a group and do an expedition. I already have a Garmin inReach-Mini, that I use for texting my location to friends and family and it has capability for two-way texting of messages via satellite. In addition to its original purpose of sending an SOS for rescue. With this Wouxun unit, I can change the antenna to 8 inches or 16 inches, but I will use the one that came with unit first (6 inches) to test its performance. I will test it in August (when I will go back to WA for a similar group outing) and report back in BFF on whether it was any better.

The assets of a sasquatch, taken as a whole, are a complete mismatch for a human interloper. I am confident that when in the woods I could be taken any second that a sasquatch desires in spite of awareness or preparation on my part. I am also confident they know if a little, hairless one is harmed, killed, or otherwise goes missing, hundreds more will come with their boomsticks. With the exception of a rogue sasquatch, why would they knowingly bring that upon themselves?

New alleged photo circulating of Greg the blonde, dreadlocked Bigfoot with a 3 musketeers mustache and goatee.

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.

The last sentence of my above post. Trackways and DNA evidence. I think conclusively refutes the OP.

If Bigfoot is a real animal, which the evidence suggests, then psychology will have little to no place as a research methodology. If Bigfoot is a spectre, a figment of man's collective imagination then psychology will have a great deal of relevancy. But spectres do not leave trackways and DNA evidence.

Have you noticed that all of your commentary are presumptions? You claim to be an archaeologist but that doesn't seem to be the case. Archaeologists don't presume, they identify clues and position arguments much differently. What are you basing your presumptions on other than opinion?

The speaker list has changed since this was originally posted and it is sold out. There are tons of other BF events in Metaline that weekend but the film showings and talks are in a limited capacity theater. There is livestreaming https://www.mfbigfoot.com/live. I may or may not shell out the $40. The event could end up on YouTube afterwards. Adam Davies: MC Presenters are: Ken Gerhard, @BeansBaxter78, Kevin Llyellan, Robert Alley, JC Williams, Igor Burtsev, Russell Accord, Shane Corson, Tom Sewid, Bob Gimlin. surprise...Igor has been added to the speaker list. Since Adam Davies is the MC and he is no fool. He should call out the Greg the Bigfoot charade if Igor or his handler makes the phone call. Since the Greg hoax has not made any waves at all or a ripple, no one will notice anyway. I want Igor to flip on facetime to see who we are speaking with. Reveal the hoaxer or get off the mic. This vendor looks interesting!

Pretty clear they were having fun with it. The filmmaker is just a local guy acclimating to the camera. what money? You mean the boatloads of tourists heading out to Vancouver Island for some sunny vacationing?

Precisely.

This is a Bigfoot discussion board. A forum. Not an academic peer review research committee. And I'm not here to prove anything to you or anyone else for that matter. An archaeological approach to Bigfoot evidence would require a site with known or suspected activity. Followed by surveying and mapping of the area, and if the situation warrants it, a field excavation. Discussing a possible scenario regarding Bigfoot and cattle ranchers is simply thinking out loud. An educated guess based upon comparative evidence. This thread has nothing to do with archaeological research. But once again, I think you know that and are simply trolling.

Have you noticed noticed that you claim to be a Bigfoot researcher and yet most of your posts are irritatingly snarky and trollish drivel? I am simply thinking out look. There is a difference between making educated assumptions and writing a formal academic report of which I clearly am not. If you had bothered to understand the context of what I wrote than you would realize that I am drawing a comparison between known encounters between cattle ranchers and other predators. I am not in anyway making any definitive statements. But I suspect you know that and are merely doing what internet trolls do best.
