Greetings to Hiflier and to all. Yes, I am still alive and well. The PhD program is very rigorous and therefore I don't have much time to post anymore, but I do still lurk fairly often. Spring break will be dedicated to field research related to the existence of Sasquatch, with an emphasis on locating the remains of a specimen. For this purpose the archaeological method should prove quite useful, and archaeology is a regretfully much neglected science in the field of Bigfoot research. Hopefully I can help to change this. I look forward to the opportunity where I can post consistently once again. Cheers.

There's no doubt more to research in this subject like the ancient finds in the Mammoth Caves but this article shows that more and more scientists in the last fifty years are out there finding and exploring these deep places: https://theconversation.com/ancient-americans-made-art-deep-within-the-dark-zones-of-caves-throughout-the-southeast-158497 And we DO have a member who's currently busy going for his PhD in archeology and who is a proponent of the Sasquatch's existence. In fact, that member will be using spring break to do BF related field research to look for proof of the reality of the creature, and member's main research interest involves caves.

My all time favorite BF swimming story. http://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=7382

Well, we've had the Gladiator out to the woods a couple of times now, and it seems to drive like a dream! I'm love it so far!

On a somewhat unrelated note, but not really given the title of the thread is "Terror in the Woods," I recently watched a documentary called "Don't Call me Bigfoot" in which Mattsquatch mentioned a second or third hand account. There is no way of verifying the accuracy of this report, so I am not sure if it is true or not, but if it is true it would certainly make things interesting. He referenced an account told by a CIA operative working in Nepal decades ago where he allegedly witnessed an encounter between a Bigfoot-like animal and a tiger over a deer carcass. The tiger had apparently killed the deer and the Bigfoot was attempting to steal the kill. The tiger stood its ground, but the apparently enraged Bigfoot picked up the tiger and broke its spine and then walked off with the deer carcass. Again, there is no way of verifying the accuracy or lack there of, of this report. But if true it would give new meaning to the phrase "Terror in the Woods." And any animal capable of breaking a fully grown Bengal tiger in half would certainly take the title of "apex predator" to a whole new level...

I grew up in central Florida, as kids we got to go many times to Silver Springs, the glass bottom boat trips over the springs were amazing...love to go back & into deeper waters, maybe where the Lettuce Lake sas was filmed. Plenty of swamps down there for skunk apes to fish in, hunt gators, snakes...if you haven't seen the Lettuce Lake video, it's really intriguing.

Depends. Aboriginal tribes have a lot of power over such discoveries. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Your_Knees_Cave

And a nice "hello" goes out to Wooly Booger BUT, would a Sasquatch discovery ever reach us if any discoveries were considered Human remains? Information on Human remains does sometimes get published but one could surmise that a very robust set of remains with certain Sasquatch anatomical features would not? https://archive.org/details/guidelinesforres00knoe/mode/2up

The most recent major hominin finds have been Denisova Man and Flores Man. Both were found in cave digs. I may be unaware, but I don't hear of or read of archeological digs in caves in North America. I wonder why?

Perhaps underwater, yes, but it seems like creeks, rivers and other bodies of water are a weakpoint for them in that the roaring sounds of the water muffles incoming footfalls (and scent?) of people and electronics. Could hide some very inconspicuous trailcams along rivers in known Squatch territories....

I really like those bigfoot accessory additions to your Gladiator. They are very nice.

I've definitely heard of these creatures swimming, including the instances of Witnesses seeing them swimming Columbia River like you mentioned. It is also said that they swim to and from Vancouver Island among other destinations. I heard a few accounts on podcasts about Sasquatch swimming... In one instance one swam toward a boat of fisherman,, who promptly vacated the area. In another story two younger kids had a hungry Sasquatch swim up and relieve the youths of a stringer of fish. Certain primates, including humans of course, do exhibit the ability to swim so it is certainly plausible that our large hairy friends occasionally do as well. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Xlaau1t3LTE
