I'm in West Virginia on vacation. Cruised an old forest service road that leads to an abandoned fire watch tower. No bigfeet in sight. Had to cross three creeks. The main river is called Blackwater becsuse the tanin from all the trees seeps into the water, it looks like black cofee.

You want me to stop “slapping” you on the face. Answer these real simple question. 1. How many E-DNA samples have you sent off to be tested? 2. How many lawsuits have you filed against the government in regards to BF? No word salad, no misdirection. Answer each Q? Reason being: Question 1 was your last crusade here on the BF. Did you practice what you preach? I’ve inferred, from you, that you have yet to send your own E-DNA test out. Question 2. Do you practice what you preach, do you follow thru. So real simple, One response. Yes or no ?

Ive had it happen to me and they knew I was a human. I was standing on my ranch. Its not a great feeling. But when you point a rifle back at them they suddenly lose interest…..🤣

IMPORTANT- I do not necessarily recommend clicking this link because the pdf is 292 MB and will likely hose many computers!!! lol But, this is the Washington Environmental Altas from 1975 that I think Norseman was referencing above -> https://documents2.theblackvault.com/documents/usace/Washington1975Atlas-Sasquatch.pdf Again, maybe don't click that link unless you are patient with such things and have a very fast internet connection and a fairly powerful computer! 292 MB is an extremely large file! The images below are sort of the cliff notes from the reference in that document regarding Sasquatch. And, this is all I see there. Although the Corps of Engineers did include Sasquatch in their list of Animals, I would not say that they gave Sasquatch any Official recognition, at least not in that Atlas:

As you said, Huntster, "Keeping a secret is different than a cover up." There is no doubt that Government employees have seen the animals known as Sasquatch. There are way too many Government employees per capita for that to have never happened. Perhaps they even mentioned it to their co-workers/boss. But, that is most likely exactly where it ended. No follow-up, no resources applied and a majority disbelief in the eye-witness account. Such is the nature of Sasquatch and pretty much all other paranormal. Very few people are going out on a limb, perhaps risking their comfy job, to insist on devoting Government/Company resources to Sasquatch research. Even knowers can see the extreme difficulty (impossibility?) in obtaining concrete proof. I would love to see the full publication of that 'Washington Environmental Atlas' by the Army Corps of Engineers that describes Sasquatch in detail, Norseman. There were definitely times in the past when people were more willing to consider the possibility of things which we do not yet understand. Not sure when the average human became "omniscient" (perhaps with the advent of the Internet) but, that is unfortunate because the human race still has far more to learn than we can even imagine.

Not many. Because you create a stigma around a subject. I.e. Fred and Ethel saw a flying saucer in their corn patch last night and they report it to the authorities. The military sends out a scientist and a investigator and they look around and then declare that Fred and Ethel were drinking again last night and the flying saucer was nothing more than the moon reflecting off the pond onto the barn roof. That instantly becomes the official story. Secretly they take a few soil samples in the corn patch and test it. And the soil is highly irradiated like in many other cases of sightings. But the military brass doesn’t share this with the public or even its minions. Everything is compartmentalized, and even the left and right hands do not know what the other is doing. If anything is leaked or any whistleblowers come forward? You make sure to ruin their careers and slander them as loons to the public. So they cannot get a job at McDonalds without someone saying “Hey! Aren’t you that guy that said the government has little green men?” LOLOLOLOL… And with everything mysterious? You have plenty of help from the public who claim they mind-speak to the aliens, and have bad shaky video of the saucers, etc. and the subject’s credibility snowballs downhill quickly. Until most polite people are not discussing it at dinner parties. It’s ignored.

It’s quite the opposite!!! The mentally weak ascribed all sorts of monsters and gods to explain simple natural phenomenon. Earthquakes, Volcanos, Tsunamis, etc. were all the territory of appeasing gods or lack there of. Science stripped all of that away and laid it bare. I.e. King Neptune wasn’t mad at your village after all, because Sally forgot to turn the chicken bones at the altar last night. It’s too bad the village burned her at the stake for her trespasses… Science is why your microwave heats your dinner, and a X Ray can see your broken bone, it’s also the reason we have cataloged 1.2 MILLION species on this planet. It’s the reason I can turn on my television and watch a Martian helicopter mapping the surface of another planet! It’s not a daddy complex for humans to want to push at the corners of our human understanding…. I do not want to go back to a world that fears Trolls under a bridge or fears sailing off the edge of our planet. Science isn't perfect. But it’s better than the superstition riddled world we lived in in our past.

Obviously not......... If these creatures exist, it's virtually unacceptable to me that government doesn't know about them. Even if these creatures were rendered almost extinct east of the Mississippi, the U.S. government has been all over the west since 1870, especially during the Indian Wars in the west. That included thousands of troops beating the bush for native warriors (and with allied Indian scouts), dozens of forts all over the place, and Ft. Lewis is smack dab in the U.S. county with the highest report density in the U.S., and it has been there for over a century. So in the flowchart of the sasquatch mystery, once you accept that these creatures exist, and you finally accept that government is aware of their existence, the next great question itself is a huge mystery, and perhaps the major sticking point: * If the U.S. government knows, why are they discouraging discovery? * If the U.S. government knows, what about the other state and world governments where these things live (Russia, China, Canada, India)? * How much do they know? Did they acquire a carcass and dissect it? Did they study them in the wild? Are they doing that today covertly?

Awesome!

You rang? What’s your coat size again?🧐

Might have been @norseman hoping you were a squatch, dreaming of bathing in your blood and wearing your hide as a cloak... good thing your head wasn't cone shaped or you might not be with us anymore. I kid, kind of.

Not until they show me where I had failed. Like my grade school friend who said he had invented elephant repellent. I asked him if it worked to which he replied, well, you don't seen any around do you?

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
