Your questions are answered in Chapter 16 of my book, which I attach here for use of Forum Members ONLY. Please do not forward to anybody else. In summary, no genome of 20,000 human mtDNA sequences had two or three of these mutations. Very few had even one. Percentages of each primate group which have these mutations are found in Figure 27 of Chapter 16. These range from less than 1% for humans to 100% in some groups. Chapter 16 FINAL.docx

Killing doesn't bother me if it accomplishes something I want to accomplish. Dead bigfoot doesn't accomplish anything I value. So, short of dealing with an immediate threat to my life, I don't imagine that I would, no. MIB

I would add to the list: Oregon Bigfoot Highway by Cliff Olson and Joe Beelart. Great book, lots of historical info with maps and marked for GPS. I found it very compelling. Especially when the authors deal with the USFS.

I would kill the first one with extreme prejudice. Nothing sporting either. I would shoot to kill, but if I only had a wounding shot to get a blood trail I would do that also. And I would stay on that trail until I either recovered it or it killed me. Or I would luck out and run it over repeatedly with my Peterbilt… If I had to cut it up to get it out? I would have no qualms doing that either. Basically whatever it takes. Why? Well. How many kids are gonna be riding their bikes and playing in National Parks and Forests this summer? People have a right to know. How many Dennis Martin cases have long gone cold? How many parents have waited and waited only to grow old with no answers? And not just kids, dads, mothers, uncles, etc. If there is something out there? People need to know the dangers. Instead of their elected officials laughing at or discounting their fears, concerns or worse, the loss of a loved one. Its not a vendetta against the species. Once proven to science? They should be protected and people should be warned. Like UFO’s this won’t be the end of the world. People will move on with their lives. They may just not look at that dark forest the same way as they once did. But at least they can weigh the risks with as much knowledge as possible. And I don’t care about my own recognition. I don’t care if anyone ever learns my name or not. And I don’t care about the hate mail either. As a hunter I get plenty of that anyhow. None of that matters. It’s just humans being humans. It’s not about knee jerk reactions or the love of something people barely understand. If DNA or a bone is found that confirms the species first? Hurray! Confirmation for me is priority #1. I really do not care how we get there. We all play to our strengths, but it’s about expediency…. Full stop. So anyone out there looking for proof? Kudos to you!

Only if I had fear of death or bodily harm for me and/or someone else. Otherwise go and live in peace.

Can't disagree with #1 but I would like to add these additional four titles to the list: Abominable Snowmen: Legend Come To Life - Ivan Sanderson Where Bigfoot Walks: Crossing the Dark Divide - Robert Michael Pyle Big Footprints - Grover Krantz The Bigfoot Casebook - Janet & Colin Bord Neanderthal: The Strange Saga of the Minnesota Iceman - Bernard Heuvelmans

There appears to be at least a couple of other videos on there that use the same costume. His first and most popular video has 1.2 million views and was likely the initial motivator for him to continue with faking videos. The fact that he replies in the comments with lengthy explanations as a way of trying to further deceive people is more obnoxious than the videos themselves. There's some sort of mental illness component to people who do things like this. I've seen videos that are a one-off attempt at a fake but when someone spends close to a decade trying to fool people with fake bigfoot videos I'm forced to assume that they're probably not thinking straight.

Todd's story is amazing Bigfoot witness-turned-researcher, Todd M. Neiss has been an active investigator for over 27 years. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, he grew up hearing of these legendary creatures, alternately known as Bigfoot or Sasquatch, but gave it little credibility beyond that of a good old-fashioned campfire tale designed to frighten young campers. All of that changed for Todd in the spring of 1993. As a Sergeant in the Army's 1249th Combat Engineer Battalion, he came face to face with, not one, but three of the elusive giants in the temperate rain forest of Oregon's Coast Range while conducting high-explosives training. His sighting was independently corroborated by three fellow soldiers who also witnessed these creatures... https://www.audible.com/pd/Untold-Radio-AM-Todd-Neiss-Bigfoot-Investigator-for-Over-27-Years-Podcast/B08WCDRFGC

The Zamberlan Tofane arrived, though I'm 40 some days into the wait for the size 12 pair I ordered, which was the recommended size based on Zamberlan's chart but typically I wear a 13 and they fit with maybe a tad bit of extra room for a thicker sock. I'll see how the 12s feel. If too small, I'll sell them for a good bit under retail if anyone wants a nice pair with old school Italian craftsmanship. They are a rugged boot I'm sure they'll serve well. Breaking them in out along the bog today:

I decided to keep the Schnee Timberline and sent back the Schnee Divide Mid. The TL is a very comfortable boot that has a flexible sole, as mountain boots go. It's a 9" boot which is the biggest hurdle for me as I'm use to low trail runners. The foot box that is roomy and my heel feels locked in. I bought a medium and Schnee offers the boot in a wide as well. It should work well for traipsing through the forest and up and down mountains. The Schnee Divide Mid was also very comfortable. It is a 6" full-leather boot and it's height is perfect for me. I don't like locking in my ankles, which are very stable and strong, and I've never had an injury with low trail runners. I'll need to move up a half size which is why I returned the one I bought. Also, I'll wait for their next sale and buy then. The Company pays attention to little details. For example, the lace-up metal eyelets have a ball bearing inside over which the laces slide. That makes pulling them easy and smooth. I tried Zamberlan, Kenetrek, Hanwag, Scarpa, Lowa, Asolo, Salewa, and more. In the end, it's fit and prevails. I'd highly recommend Schnee boots.
