When many early American bigfoot reports began to emerge in the 1700's and credible people reported then bigfoot slowly became a fact. Credibility occurred. Do we know if Daniel Boone's early American bigfoot story is true. Was he known to spin yarns? This wild Bigfoot story starts with a bigfoot that attacked Daniel's son in a remote forest according to the Wisconsin Historical Society. It sounds like Daniel's son got off two shots with a single shot muzzle loader gun that makes no sense. It shoots one shot at a time. The huge bigfoot fell on Daniel's son and stopped his breathing. Read the rest and what's your opinion? Does this add evidence to the existence of bigfoot? What about bigfoots rib cage? Do you believe the incident happened? 1876 Draper Manuscripts: Daniel Boone Papers, 1760-1911, Series C, Wisconsin Historical Society (Madison, Wisconsin) Keywords 1817 Boone Myth Hunting Kentucky Trip Last Years People None. 1817 BOONEMYTH HUNTING Buckner Payne to LCD, Nashville, 1/?/1876 6: <I immediately ran up & jerked him off to find my son senseless & not breathing. I immediately made every effort for his restoration to life. It seemed to me more than an hour before he breathed. He finaly came to & after using watter freely from my canteen I so far recovered him as to set him up against the tree; & was glad to find no bones broken. In about an hour more he stood up & talked. I asked him where he had aimed to strike the giant. He said he had aimed to hit him in the hart both shots. The giant was naked. I turned him over on his back & found boath of the bullet holes neer the left niple & about two inches apart but neather of them had entered the body but had passed round & came out at the back. I then passed my finger into each of the holes & found the giant had no ribs, but sollid bone about 3/4 of an inch thick which I found out by cutting through the bone with my tomihalk. My own shot struck him in the left eye which was fortunate. The giant was not an indian, for he was a pale yellow with long yellowish hair & not black as is common amonge indians. His body was likewise covered with short hair not very thick. His teeth war all naturally grown together in his head with rather small eyes & nose with very large feet & hands. We then stretched him out & laid [?] a suple jack [a walking stick?] nine [feet?] & we measured his length & in measuring it with my hands I found that he was at least 10 1/2 feet high. My son then got another suple jack & we then made another measurment. One of theas was carried by my son & me by my self to boonsborrough where we measured them by the squar's when we found the height to be 10 feet 8 inches. This is the story of the giant as given me by Col. Boone. I asked if he had ever herd of any such among the indiands & what they knew about them if any thing. He said they had a tradition of giant men & giant beast; but that the Grate Spirit had kill them all some where on the osage river Mo but that he had never credited it.> 16C26 File: 16C2.DR1

I think you're on to something. Hire on to thin the sasquatch herd. Take their money. Then when they decide you didn't, tell them to prove that there are not fewer now than before. Should get ya proof of existence right there. Might be worth having to give the money back, right?

Hello Madison, and you mentioned your three kids out and about collecting mushrooms that is a great learning experience for them. As you know orange vests or shirts save lives during hunting season.

If it is USFS it is on a forest by forest basis. We have no such thing in the National Forests in SW Oregon .. no pass at all. There are a few trailheads that have passes but not that many .. some I use used to but don't anymore. I think it's mostly for paying for toilet paper in the busiest locations.

Thanks for the book lead. In the past I have not had much interest in American history, partly due to the poor and inaccurate job done by public schooling. More recently I have taken a larger interest in pre colonized history. So much rich history and culture that is not discussed much.

I remember as a teenager when the state of California started requiring a permit to hike in the Sierras. That's when I knew that I had to leave. Nothing like that in Alaska on unclassified state lands. Indeed, under General Use rules, you can fire up your chainsaw and cut your own trail. No permit needed.

No direct experience with the courts in ESA matters, but some experience in the public works industry with it. I have had experience in federal court with federal employee matters. It was the kind of experience I wouldn't call exciting, except for the part about his threats, which were greatly exaggerated. As tired as I got with Hollywood Who-Dunnits and Perry Mason shows, it was a fun exchange with hiflier! I felt like My Cousin Vinny!

I am confused. The letter I read from New York State supports my assertions. It’s a recreational activity because it’s a MYTHOLOGICAL creature. That’s their position, as I have stated. I don’t see any wiggle room. As I have said all along I support your attempts at disclosure. But I’ve also said I am not going to continue because I feel it’s a waste of time. That’s me personally. Members of this forum are more than welcome to write to whomever they choose. I am not some arbiter of the internet. I think I explained my conversation several times. I called the Portland office of the USFWS. And asked them what the protocol was for trying to secure a type specimen for a new species. No I never mentioned Bigfoot because for one I didn’t want to get hung up on. And for two? It shouldn’t matter….. the discovery of a new species of insect should be the same protocol as a new species of primate. The answer was somewhat convoluted. First he tried to tell me there was nothing left to discover. But if I did want a permit to study known species I would need a permit. And permits are only given to accredited scientists. He also stated that they only manage USFWS lands. USFS, BLM, USPS, Tribal and State lands have different protocols, etc. It’s a massive bureaucracy. They would also handle the importation and exportation of animals and animal parts across US lines. As far as collecting a type specimen on USFWS lands? The answer is? There is nothing here to discover. Everything has been discovered. But what if it’s not? I never got a sufficient answer. But what I did learn is that the US Forest Service is the agency to crack. Why? Because they administer the bulk of our nation’s forests. USFWS has a pittance of land compared to the USFS. But it’s probably going to be a state wildlife officer who is gonna be the tip of the spear concerning any members activities in the woods. And this would probably include trail cameras, call blasters, night vision, thermal cameras and firearms.

Ran into a hunter while mushroom hunting yesterday. I'm sure the 3 kids we had with us scared all the deer away for miles!

Cut the crap and belittling, Twist. Your serving no good purpose here outside of trashing me and doing your own brand of pushing and crying...again. Grow up and knock it off schoolboy antics..
