I'm dying here! I'm being loved to death! Back at ya'. You're in my daily prayers. The playbook isn't invalid. It just needs revision. We need better plays. I'd suggest we hunt for a sasquatch, instead. You shoot first.........

Certainly with the Chapala lake skull? Science threw shade at it. Assuming that a Homo Erectus skull cap had been planted in Mexico. And then it disappeared entirely. They are still in the Clovis first model. Which I think is being debunked right now. Humans were here long before the Clovis people. And another Human species may very well have been here before us. Or….something else. It’s going to take time as things like the Cerutti Mastadon site come to light. It throws a monkey wrench into conventional wisdom. I love Huntster to death! I live vicariously through him as my hunting opportunities down here pale in comparison to him. He is hunting in the arctic by himself and in his 60s! Mad respect…. There is just a couple of subjects like Biology in which we don’t see eye to eye. And that’s OK. 👍 It’s like trying to play football with someone who says the playbook is invalid. 🤷‍♂️ He has a healthy disdain for science in general. I’ve always loved science and history. My two favorite subjects. If we were in Elk camp together? I would avoid a few subjects with him and ask him about his vast knowledge of the Alaskan wilderness. Which is volumes! As far as what Bigfoot is? We just don’t know. That’s why until one is shot or run over or dug up? We won’t know. And we can scream and shout and jump up and down? Nothing is going to change it. But if it’s out there? That day will come. At some point the odds will run out.

The social psychology involved with the sasquatch phenomenon is the entire issue. Our own discussions here demonstrate that, and as we look around our society, we see that social psychology is warping everything around us, even the most basic biological facts. "Humanity" (Homo sapien) is already corraled into ideologies regarding the sasquatch phenomenon, just like in the 1850's and 1860's when Darwin, Huxley, Wilberforce, Brodie, Hooker, and FitzRoy debated evolution and the gorilla was discovered: https://erblist.com/erbmania/duchaillu.html We are driven by belief........or the lack thereof........not fact or truth. It has been that way since the beginning, and it will remain that way to the end. We are labelled Homo sapien........Wise Human. I think we are poorly described. It should be Homo sententia.........Opinionated Human

Haven't seen this posted here yet so I figured I would throw it out for a look. I've been one of a few coaching this kid since his discovery (primate DNA in the forest of the UK). Here's the article from his EDNA sample results. I'm really excited for the kid, just 14 and already having tremendous success on the hunt. https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/uk-world-news/daniel-barnett-14-year-old-8832631?fbclid=IwAR2PjEkxRcxkz0cAPQvWVOaE30L0qrEDMED3y6lvJc3lIJbfxZTCI0YGKLY

Ever hear of a report like that, with or without government involvement?

^ Unless that happened at a designated Bigfoot Crossing!? "As of September 2023, there were 2.95 million employees in the US federal workforce." So, yes, they are a daunting group to sue in court. That 1903 National Geographic is a fascinating reference, Huntster. I found the entire issue here: https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/120242#page/426/mode/1up That perfectly demonstrates the human tendency to criticize things that we don't know about. I'd bet we are the only animal that doubts anything just by default.

You guys are a trip! Back to the subject of why there is no Government protection for Bigfoot? In these days of rampant conspiracy theories, deep-fakes and general mistrust, would a bigfoot skull cap even prove to Science that they exist? Or, would Science say that it was an unexplained anomaly while 99% of the world just laughs? I learned that current DNA intelligence can predict some aspects of a physical phenotype: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8774670/ That is wonderful. However, if DNA does one day indicate with confidence that a subject had a flat head, a protruding jaw, long arms and short legs, so what?? I think they would just say that the subject was a mutation, or just an ugly guy from the past who certainly does not prove Bigfoot. lol Notes to self: (Never debate Zana with norseman and never engage Huntster in a battle of wits.)

I went out for a late afternoon run up Dewdney Peak today. It frames the west side of the entrance to Norrish Creek watershed, the location of my sighting and trackway find 40+ years ago. I guess I keep hoping that lightning will strike twice in the same area, lol. There had been a fair bit of logging on the slopes of the mountain in the last couple of years, so the steep access road had been in fairly good shape, but I discovered today that the road had been recently aggressively cross ditched to prevent longitudinal washouts, so the 6 km climb now takes about 90 minutes of careful driving to avoid damage to my 4x4. This also indicates that there probably wont be any more logging up there for the next few years. It was a very clear fall afternoon, but cool, about 5C (40F), with great views in all directions. When I reached the end of the road, overlooking the upper Fraser Valley, I met a young couple and their 2 sons, both under 10 years old, enjoying a campfire after riding up in their SxS 4 wheeler. We chatted for a while, and after mentioning my old Sasquatch encounters in the creek valley, the young man mentioned having heard very heavy bipedal footsteps in the upper reaches of the next valley to the east a couple of years ago. I'll probably head up that way in the next few weeks. I saw no wildlife at all during the entire trip up and down, and no tracks in the few small patches of snow in the shaded areas near the summit. Here are a few pics of the views from the logging road; zoom in on the first one, and the far ridge shows the snowy peaks of Mt. Cheam on the left, and Mt. Slesse on the right, with the city of Chilliwack in the valley below. It doesn't look like much from up there, but it's a rapidly growing city of about 50,000.
