I don't really like calling them weapons because the word isn't descriptive enough. Anything from a fist to a stick to a rope to a chemical to a nuclear bomb can be a weapon, and pretty much everything in between. In the most basic definition of "gun", rifles, shotguns, and handguns are indeed lumped with cannons, artillery pieces, and anything else with a barrel which launches a projectile that doesn't move under its own power as "guns". I tend to call my rifles "rifles", my shotguns "shotguns", and my handguns "sidearms". Those terms are almost always understood accurately.

I have to ask you but are you 100% sure it was a Bigfoot and not something else ? There's a very good reason I'm asking you this . Thanks I was in the Marines This is my rifle this is my gun This is for fighting this is for fun

This is a long time coming, much needed mountain town recreation. Free admission, live mountain town music, art exhibits, open air market. Specific bigfoot events are in the works. Sierra Bigfoot Music Festival August 27, 28 & 29 2021 Eproson Park Twain Harte, CA I'm not sure who to give the artistic credit to but this is a pretty cool fest image.

I’m not there yet Hunster i still leave the door open. I can see solo hunting trips but hiking and camping is something I like to do with family mostly my granddaughters. I keep my footing separate from family time tho once I did get the feeling of being watched thankfully nothing past that. The last thing I want with my granddaughters is to explain to them what a squatch is while they are raising a ruckus near our camp. Hasn’t happened but would Not be unexpected given the remoteness of wherei like up camp. .

What I saw got up and ran on two legs quite fast, not bear, not a guy in a suit. I'm pretty sure of what I saw.

"Last days" offer freedom to step away a bit from the party line.

townies are everywhere. I have been to every state and we're all townies. back on topic, this is a fun event for families. I remember there used to be booths for the various Bigfoot groups. I don't know if they still do that. some of the groups do excursions, a good place to make connections in the field.

Looks like a wonderful day out, norseman, and a great way to beat the heat! I spent Saturday and this morning doing Dad stuff, driving a Uhaul from one town to another, helping my youngest son move to a new location, but I got to feed my need for the tall timber this afternoon, with a trip to Tamihi Creek, a tributary of the Chilliwack River that runs along the US border for much of its length. The weather has moderated here the last few days, so the temp stayed below 30C, which was very nice for a change. The recent very hot weather has really kicked the high mountain snow melt into gear, and the creek was a rushing torrent in the places where it was visible from the old narrow logging road. Most of the roughly 20 km length of the road runs through varying ages of second growth timber, restricting the view, but the last few km had been logged in the last 5 years or so, opening up the view of the Border Peaks, a number of craggy ridges straddling the international border. The mountain on the US side has a glacier at the top, with huge avalanche chutes running down to the creek, and a very impressive cornice at the top of the glacier. The US side of the creek appears to be old growth forest, as access from the south side of that ridge, to the north face that I could see, would be very difficult. In a couple of my photos, you can see the line cut through the timber that defines the 49th parallel. There were numerous deer tracks in some places, and a nice blacktail doe crossed the road in front of me, too quickly for me to catch a pic. I also saw several impressive bear scat piles, and spoke to a dirt biker near the end of the trail who had been there last weekend, and saw what he described as the biggest black bear he'd ever seen. When he saw it on the road, he stopped, and it turned toward him, rose on it's hind legs, and popped its jaw at him, so he did a quick u-turn, and got out of there!

When I was a security policeman in the Air Force, you would bring a ton of havoc down upon you if you called your M-16 a gun instead of a weapon.

He is on FB and I believe his email is in his books if you have one of them. I have high regard for Rob so I'm not bringing this up for any other reason but humor. The dr in his title is not a phd. He went to chiropractic college, not sure if he finished or not. He does have a college degree in anthropology which is good enough as any background to be a bigfoot author. He does a great job with indigenous mythology and research. Unsure of his other events but he is on the speaker list at this woo gathering in late august: and here is a good video from Grassman's channel, just 2 minutes, of Rob's approach in the field.

A forum is open ground for exchanging ideas. It's only construed as trolling to you when you don't like what is being said about your faulty logic adding up to presumptions,. Your content is remarkably faulty BTW not just a little bit. You claimed to be an academic, even with plans for a dig (I forget the location, possibly WA state). And you want to get in touch with a deceased woman's relatives so you can (? maybe) further investigate a passing reference to some location being known for some interaction with BF and cattle. And you further elaborate on what you think BF would think of the scenario. Similar to your presumption that Justin Smeja could not have shot a second BF on the scene because you didn't believe a second BF would allow it to happen. (of course, not realizing the 2nd BF was the equivalent age of a child) Let me sum up my point and I'll hop off this: a real academic of any background, even math or English or whatever, who is interested in BF (of which there are very few) would approach the problem much differently. You demonstrate no awareness whatsoever of the background you claim to have to study anything. And you toss out presumptions left and right.

Part 2 at: Part 3 is out now: Part 4 is on the way:

general admission is sold out over 3 months in advance: https://www.porta.us/mfbf.html. It's a small venue to begin with, probably limited attendance due to protocols.

That was good. Thanks for posting it , Norseman! I grew up watching DA's documentaries and recently watched his "swan song" tribute to his 50 years of documentaries on Netflix. However, I never fully understood the global warming issues until watching NOVA's 2-hour show called, "The Polar Extremes" from last year. It would be great to see a documentary by DA on Cryptozoology. I remember watching a National Geographic special on the Yeti which was good but the final thoughts were that the environment could not support such a creature. Cheers!

I recall a similar episode of Monster Quest called Sasquatch Attacks. It was regarding an alleged Sasquatch that attacked a remote Ontario fishing cabin for several nights in a row. A DNA sample was collected and it came back as "not quite ape and not quite human." That was in fact the very documentary that got me interested in the Bigfoot phenomenon to begin with. That was back in the Summer of 2008. Regarding your question, Chimpanzee DNA is 99% the same as human DNA. There is no reason why a bipedal primate wouldn't have a similar DNA profile. In fact, Bigfoot DNA is possibly even closer to human than chimpanzee DNA. That seems to me the most likely explanation.

It was an excellent documentary. Monster Quest was always of good quality. Not sure why the History Channel ever stopped filming the series. What that film demonstrates is that there is more hard scientific evidence for the existence of Bigfoot than most people think. Before I watched that documentary I never gave the subject much thought. After watching it I became open minded and my personal research led me to believe that these creatures most likely exist. I'm sure many researchers have similar testimonies.

That DNA evidence has proven the existence of an unknown species of primate in North America is undeniable to all who examine the evidence, unless they are willfully blind. The fact that the DNA results consistently return as being 99% human should be of no surprise either since higher primate DNA is very close to human, 99% in the case of chimpanzees. I concur that either those involved in the DNA analysis don't know anything about primate DNA or they are being intentionally dishonest and misleading about their findings. Either way, scientists who are unbiased and not beholden to the so-called "powers that be" are needed to perform this analysis if factual results are to be attained.

This one is really out there in northwest Washington state bigfoot country. Aug 28-29, 2021 Marblemount Community Hall State Route 20 Marblemount, WA 10-4PM $15 per day or $25 both days The speaker lineup currently is: Thom Cantrall Judy Carroll (Australia) Dr. Robert Alley Thomas Sewid Forrest Moon Seems like a rebrand of Cantrall's International Society for Primal People gathering which was kind of interesting. If I don't make it up there for this I may stream it to catch Dr. Alley. Hopefully, @joebeelart plans to attend or add himself to the speaker lineup? or (longshot) @BeansBaxter78

@SasquatchTheLeg Welcome to the forum! I created a new topic: I wish I knew who to give credit for that drawing. It's pretty good! Are you actually going to this? All those woo speakers doesn't seem your style.
