Thank you. This is but one place I've been seeking leads, and I'm planning to write something up about all this, and will be definitely post a link to that here when I do.

Thank you for making a thread about this. I have been frustrated over the years trying to get to the bottom of alleged Bigfoot dna analyses results too. I'm also in NC. I live in the Charlotte, Mint Hill-Matthews area.

Sure. But an Elk standing up out of its lay is going to leave corresponding tracks to that action. We don’t see that with the skookum cast. Where there elk tracks else were in the mud? Yes. But that doesn’t immediately mean a Elk made the skookum cast. Of course casts of feet, butts, hands and bodies are suggestive but not proof of a undiscovered primate in the North America either. Be safe.

In regards to the Skookum cast. Shame they didn't have a camera set up.

I find Homo Floresiensis, and the fact that many of the indigenous people of Flores still claim that this relict hominoid is still alive today fascinating! I plan on purchasing and reading this book! I have read some excerpts but I also agree, that the fact this theory and supporting evidence mostly through eye witness and aboriginal accounts is gaining notoriety and not (that I have seen) just flack and dismissal like Sasquatch:( For those interested in learning a bit more about the species to try and form opinions on whether you think they may be alive still today, I find this NatGeo article and this North02 youtube video great!! I personally think the idea that they may still be living there today is very possible! If they are, I think that would be a massive leap forward in hopefully getting the scientific community to take Sasquatch research much more seriously! https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/hobbit-humans-story-gets-twist-from-thousands-of-rat-bones?rid=3646A9B35B5406F8B78BF38EE05856BF&cmpid=org=ngp::mc=crm-email::src=ngp::cmp=editorial::add=SpecialEdition_Escape_20220601

Huge loss:( Hopefully more scientists and anthropologists will follow in his footsteps, as well as Dr.’s Meldrum and Krantz! I’ve often seen comments from all three of those individuals along those lines of how science is all about investigation, research, and hopefully one day discovery of what avenue is being pursued. The fact that the scientific community still won’t look AT this, and like you said, looks the other way is just baffling to me!

Well, bears are quite famous for bluff charges, so, "Bears are legally wise creatures because one charged me, but called it off at the last moment like a well trained armed civilian who fired a warning shot as I was ripping off his motorcycle"? Probably not. Biologists (Scientists, who are authorities in such matters) tell us that bears bluff charge because their confidence level hasn't risen above their anger. Moreover, throwing pine cones is likely to be well understood by sasquatches to be less-than-lethal, in the current terminology of the legally minded, so the practice of throwing things might consist of several possible motivations, including simple harassment. I was present at the San Diego Zoo when a gorilla soiled several people like this:

I did some volunteer work several years ago for a big cat recue sanctuary, they had over 70 big of every type, and some were fairly tame. One of my favs was Sasha, a black leopard, she could get squirrely, and jumped me one time....the moment she charged me and jumped from about 15' away towards my head tapped a primal fear I have never experienced before or since.....here she is.

Hi, my name is Anita and I'm the founder of Ohio Valley Region Bigfoot Research, based in Tuscarawas County, Ohio. We research and investigate Bigfoot sightings in and around the OVR.

Bought a new one, the Morakniv Garberg - full tang, black carbon steel. I like it. New fave!

Native American legends and certain indirect evidence suggests that these creatures are potentially dangerous. And even perhaps man eaters from time to time. I don’t think they consistently prey upon humans. Rather they are likely highly opportunistic. Someone in the right place at the right time. Eyewitness reports suggest they are fairly territorial, as evidenced by numerous cases where the witness was reportedly chased or escorted from the area. More often then not however, I think they are willfully elusive. Preferring to avoid contact with humans just like most animals.

A buddy of mine was walking on an elk trail through high huckleberry bushes one afternoon. As he came over the top of a little hill and around a small bend, he came face to face with two black bear cubs. He was between 10 and 5 yards a way and they were walking toward them. He shouted at them and they kept walking closer. As he slowly walked back wards, he heard a huff on the hillside above him. The mother was on her hind feet looking down on him from just a few feet away. The cubs were getting really close, so he walked backwards as fast as he could and the mother just watched until he was out of there. Another guy I know saw a black bear out in a high alpine meadow over 50 yards away. He started taking pictures and before he knew it it was on him. He said recently that it was a lot like the bear attack in the Revenant. It would walk away and with any sign of life from him and it would be on him again and again and then it left. The bears I have encountered have been anywhere from 200 yards to five feet and in every case they either ignored me or ran from me. That goes to show that it just depends on the individual and the situation.
