If it looks like a chimp, walks like a chimp, has long forearms like a chimp, and is the size of a chimp, it might be a...............bear...........

I recently learned about the show and did a lot of head shaking. Watched some clips at youtube. Saw the destroyed camera/tent part then call blasting type thing where they were sandwiched in by "something". Why he would leave food in his tent is beyond me. The sasquatch just so happened to remove the hardrive or whatever on the cam.... I don't have high expectations of these sorts of shows. I miss In Search of, and Arthur C Clarke, Sightings and Encounters etc.

But if sasquatches are feral humans, then they exist. And there is overwhelming proof that feral humans both exist now and throughout past human history. There is plenty to prove.

Bigfoot in the culture? Where does it come from? I say it's a good sign. The younger generation in the 1960's and 1970's is now the 'old guys' Most of us grew up on the PGF and the Peter Graves Bigfoot/ Monsters- type show. In this way an entire generation grew up with at least some exposure to bigfoot through this experience. Then, nothing. But 3 strange things happened. 1) The VCR was available in the 1980's and suddenly these 20 and 30 somethings could watch a Bigfoot show all over again once they ran out of other things to rent. In your home you could -now as an older adult vs a kid- watch a young Grover Kranz and so on talk about the Bigfoot concept. You could watch this with an adult mind. You could run back and forth the PGF and see it again for yourself for hours in the privacy of your own home. 2) Cable TV started which led to more and more channels. Some new networks like Nat Geo and Discovery would fill the hours with content. Some shows like America Paranormal- Bigfoot, X Creatures, and so on came into the TV. Names like Jeff Meldrum and Bill Munns became somewhat household names giving classy and credible discussion of the subject. Hoax or real the discussion of Bigfoot now had people who could make the argument for their cause and do so without appearing like some crazy, tacky presenter. 3) The internet came about which led to a variety of interests which includs Bigfoot. Music used to present a lot of Motown (good stuff!) in advertisement. That Baby Boom generation ruled the marketing and buying power. Now as things shift to Gen Xers the music has shifted to reflect their interests. When they make a soundtrack for a movie the now 50 year old revert to the music of the 1980s they grew up with. (just look at one song from the 1980s explodes to #1 due to appearing in the TV show Stanger Things) These TV shows and so on are now responding to the fact at least some population out there is interested in Bigfoot. This = a ratings source for a real Nitch market. Even if some of this is tongue-in- cheek like Messin' with Sasquatch, it is still appealing to this crowd in advertisements. All of this has created a bit of a critical mass out there to give some of the first serious study of Bigfoot. Just like an old episode of a 1970's show some of the 'styles' have not aged well. The loch ness monster has largely fallen off based on it going a bit out of style. Why? because when serious study has been devoted to it esp with new Tech, the monster turns out to be a bit of a yawn. The Bermuda Triangle was a subject of interests years back. Most of the subject was handled in pretty tacky ways with outlandish ideas of UFO bases and so on. Bigfoot on the other hand has largely stood the test of time. I would suggest it is not only a public with more of an open mind but also the fact the PGF has really yet to be disproven. For me it could be a hoax but has not proven to be. Now when the Bermuda triangle is discussed or Loch Ness they are discussed by serious people giving plausible theories and ideas to the study of what these things might be if anything. For the most part much of the 1970's 'nonsense' ideas on these subjects has pretty much died off. Bigfoot has actually BENEFITED by the somewhat more modern serious study unlike some of these other concepts. So Bigfoot is cool. There are a lot of factors out there making it cool. If nothing else, we are developing the better situation where there are more interested people but who require a bit more sophisticated production/study. Sanford Walking study, Sasquatch the legend meets science, and so on.

An article about this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/what-is-this-strange-creature-seen-outside-a-zoo-a-city-in-texas-wants-to-know/ar-AAYgnHO Officials in the city of Amarillo, Texas on Wednesday asked for help regarding a peculiar problem: identifying a "strange" human-like animal that was seen outside a local zoo last month. The city shared a photo of the creature on social media, and said it was taken in the early morning hours of May 21 outside the Amarillo Zoo. "Is it a person with a strange hat who likes to walk at night? A chupacabra? Do you have any ideas of what this UAO- Unidentified Amarillo Object could be?" the city wrote. Members of the zoo were casually looking at footage from game cameras placed throughout it when they came across the photo, according to Michael Kashuba, the parks and recreation department director for the city of Amarillo. He told CBS News on Thursday that the cameras only take photos and the now-famous picture overlooks an open area of the park right outside the zoo that doesn't receive heavy traffic. He said a staff member had sent him the image, and after conferring with other coworkers, they reached a consensus: "Nobody could figure out what it was." "And so, that's where we decided to kind of reach out to our community to see if there was any thoughts on what it could potentially be," he said. The request inspired dozens of answers and calls for video of the incident, from Sonic the Hedgehog to Rocket Raccoon. Many social media users thought it could a be skinwalker — a mythological creature in Navajo tradition that can shape-shift into an animal. "Clearly a Skinwalker phasing between two densities/dimensions and what better place but the Zoo. I mean. DUH," one Twitter user replied. Others appeared to be more certain about their response. One person on Facebook wrote, "Clearly a young werewolf...not a big deal." Kashuba said no animals were harmed and no one was at the facility at the time. Most importantly, there's no sense of fear, he said — "just more of a curiosity." "It's just a very unique picture in a very unique location," he told CBS News. "

I hear you on the mud! Even in my H3, running in 4WD in the roads yesterday, that were rained on overnight, there were times when they felt very greasy. A couple of years ago, on a hunting trip with a buddy who brought his Honda Ruckus along to run the narrow trails, we both managed to flop it on successive days due to slick mud on top of the firmer road base.

You've piqued my curiosity. Are you here for any more than to mock and sneer?

After 2 rainy, wet weekends in a row, we finally got some sunshine! I talked my son and his girlfriend into joining me for a bear/cougar/sasquatch outing for the day, to a location a bit further afield than my usual day trips. They were both eager to get out too, so we headed out at about 9 Saturday morning, for a 2 hour drive to the mountains a little SE of Boston Bar, in the Fraser Canyon region. The FSR system I targeted crosses the mountain range between the Canyon Hwy and the Coquihalla Hwy, and I had driven the route last fall, just before the snow got too deep to get through the pass. When we reached the turnoff to the FSR, there was a sign posted stating that the heavy storms had cut the road, making the full crossing impossible, but we headed up anyway, to see how far we could get. That turned out to be about 12 km in, where there was a locked gate to keep the public out of the work area. Since we had passed numerous side branches on the way in, we back tracked and explored several of them, leading to some interesting views, and lots of game sign. There was deer, bear, and elk scat, deer and elk tracks, and one pretty mulie doe who posed for us in the middle of the road. One power line trail led to a dead end at a very rugged cliff above a creek far below. After a late lunch in camp chairs in the sunshine and warm breeze, we called it a day, as the drive back out to pavement, and then 2 hours home would get us back in time for a late dinner. The trip totalled 320 km (186 mi), and used up $100 of our $2.10/L gas, but the scenery and family time were well worth it.

My wife and I just finished watching it. I had seen the trailer here earlier this morning but did not read the entire thread. When we got to the end of the movie and saw the obvious hoax...smh...why!? It was a really good doc/movie up until the end, it made my wife mad when she saw the costume. She said "Makes you question if everything else that was told is fake too."

Lol. Obviously a person. Thanks for sharing.

@BobbyO Excellent; thank you and Chris for sharing that recording! I have never heard that type of coyote howl screaming or howl barking before. So good to know for the future field trips.

For the slider...

Very cool information @BobbyO, thanks to you and all the OP crew for all the work and sharing with the forum.

One thing you can do to help refrence these in the future is to have a not pad and draw out the coyote sounds like they were Morris Code. Example: yip yip hooooowl would look like * * ————— . That way you don’t have to purely rely on memory alone to reference a sound.

Great so no real analysis. This place has become a bunch of bitter crazies.

The real sadness here is that you care about your reputation on a site dedicated to a mythical creature.
