Hello, Just joined after lurking for a long time. Look forward to getting to know all of you.

Greetings. Great resource ya'll have here, I appreciate the opportunity look on. I'm 37 and developed a curiousity for our Australian Yowie as a teenager after hearing a first hand sighting account. I've come and gone from the topic over the years. I usually check in periodically for updates in research and get sucked in, hang around for a bit, then put it aside. From an Australians perspective, the depth of knowledge, culture and research in the US as it relates to Sasquatch is enviable.

Good job sussing that out. I'll say, however, that I have zero confidence in Kelly Shaw anymore. He did a segment in SW Oregon which was pure crap. I couldn't tell you exactly which ridge it was on but it was in my ol' turf. He was hearing an active logging operation and trying to twist the various sounds into bigfoot noises. Tree crashes .. yep, accompanying the chainsaw sounds he tried to sell as howls. Just like the squeaks and groans of yarders under load. Voices .. yeah, loggers have those, too. It was bad. It was embarrassing. MIB

When I was a kid there was a movie around called The Glass Bottom Boat. I've never seen the actual movie but the idea has always intrigued me to have a thick glass panel installed in a small boat like a pram or canoe. I had about a three or four inch tube with circle of clear plastic mounted in one end. I'd stick it over the side and into the water and NEVER got tired of seeing fish of all kinds and exploring the structures and dead trees that littered the bottom either from a boat or when wading close to shore.

IIRC the infamous "Yellow Top" was sighted around Cobalt ON in 1906, 1923, 1947, and 1970. Witnesses reported a creature with lighter hair on its head and darker brown hair on the body, so it's either the same critter or a very close relative.

I would almost agree. I'd say longer than humans w/o access to modern medical care. I think that changes the odds in our favor. Rare humans made it past 100 without modern medicine even though the average was a lot less, around 30-40. Bigfoot might fall 30-50 on average with a 120-150 year old individual. That's just wild speculation on my part because the flip side is that larger dog breeds don't live as long as the smaller ones so maybe they only live 25-40 years on average with a high around 60. We truly don't know. Someday maybe we can ask them. MIB
