Interesting. The length, height, thickness, posture, seems to match that of a cougar/mountain lion. I had one pass in front of me driving at 10 pm one night and this almost matches it to the tee. The head, the neck and shoulder muscles, the thickness of the hips and legs, the back, everything. I just wish that I could have a better look at the tail... The only problem with that is that there has never been a specimen of a melinated cougar/mountain lion/panther ever collected by science (thus far). The "black panther" is a bit of an ongoing cryptid phenomenon with the majority of sightings taking place in the Southeastern United States and along the Appalachian range. If you ever get the time, be sure to look into the "Beast Of Exmoor". It's a reported "black panther"/ "large black cat" cryptid that's been sighted in the U.K. Your photo sort of reminded me of it a little bit. Hope this helps!

Hello! I'm Nightfoot, I'm from the UK. Looking to keep up to date with the latest bigfoot news and read about peoples experiences. Good to meet you all.

The number of cellphones is very large. However, I would submit that today's smartphone cameras are not nearly as useful as 35mm cameras that many, like myself, use to carry. For some, it takes too long to sign into the phone and, in my opinion, it is not easy to capture clear images in a wooded environment for all except the highly initiated. Too many layers of branches, leaves, and brush between the subject and camera owner. I've posted this picture before of a deer at the summit of a mountain I encountered two years ago. I took at least a dozen pictures and even "boxed" the head of the deer on my phone before taking the pictures. Absolutely useless for people like me which is probably most. In the past, I would grab my 35mm and quickly focus on exactly what I wanted to capture and it would come out clear as a bell. Not anymore for me with a cellphone in my hands.

Get the numbers This idea of estimating Bigfoot's population is difficult. We assume by the Q Bigfoot exists. If so, then the extent of Bigfoot existing is the issue. Here is my completely symbolic made-up the formula which defines the issue: B / T That is, Bigfoot / Territory size or the vastness of the area. Example: If you had 50 Dodo birds, and they were on a small island we would see them all the time. If you had 1,000 but they were in the vastness of some jungle, most natives might go their whole life and only ever see 1 on occasion. We cannot assume all reports of Bigfoot are accurate. But, we cannot assume no reports of Bigfoot are accurate should Bigfoot exist. We are left to do a lot of guessing. If we can't have accurate numbers we are all guessing so we must make the best educated guess we can. If Bigfoot is near extinct, then any guesses we might make of a viable population of Bigfoot would be way off. Why? Because a near extinct population would not be a viable number. Also, a population could not be assumed to be very high or sightings and filmings would occur all the time. To me this means the numbers must be very low. Are sightings numbers going up or down? Are reports going up or down? Does that tell us anything? Here is a final point to consider about these Bigfoot Numbers: There are more eyes in the form of cameras out there. In the days of the PGF there were few cameras esp due to expense. Over the decades, camera and later VCR Sony handicams became more popular and cheaper. Now Billions of Cell phones with cameras and video are out there. That would be Millions in the USA alone. This means nearly everyone out there hiking around looking for Bigfoot -and nearly anyone who is just hiking -have a camera with them. If Bigfoot numbers were high, we should have several PGF- level sightings.

I always carry a chainsaw. And maps, compass and a gps. And sharp things. Not to mention lead flingers.

Most everyone I have ever spoken directly with who has had a bigfoot sighting / encounter has never officially reported it. That would greatly change the data.
