Well, I for one, am firmly convinced that Sasquatch Ontario belongs in the same pantheon of hoaxers along with Rick Dyer and Todd Standing. I watched most of the videos years ago and at the very beginning of the first one, my eyes rolled so far into the back of my head I could watch my hair grow. I couldn't believe the number of rubes and suckers who bought into Mike's line of horse crap acting like this was some great cosmic breakthrough or the connection between the species was finally forged and all shall be revealed. I seem to recall this being discussed on the forums a while back at length and my opinion hasn't changed.

Hello from Arizona, I have been interested in this species for many years now and also had a few encounters that left me really not wanting to encounter this species again, except from the safety of a moving vehicle. The reality of these things is just not really something that I want to mess around with. I'm interested in knowing their size as I am curious as to how they were able to silently move around in thick thorny brush in the dark without making a whole bunch of noise of breaking it all down. I just don't think the group that I encountered were that big, except for maybe one of them. I'm just generally curious as to what I was dealing with in those situations. I have been wanting to leave some trail cameras in some lonely canyons now for some time. However I am hesitant to lose them to theft so I have not done so. I may change my mind this year and just go for it and hide one really well.

https://pubs.usgs.gov/publication/70044677 I found this article and its numbers fascinating! 99% successful in collecting a DNA sample with a 80% success rate over all. (Misses, lost darts, etc) Basically if you can connect? You’re almost assured a good tissue sample. Unfortunately I don’t know which company they used. But I have seen them use pneumatic guns and also a crossbow. If you’re not willing to harvest a type specimen? This holds promise. It’s better than a plaster cast or an audio file by far. It’s a real shot at discovery. I still suggest carrying a gun regardless. I doubt Bigfoot would be any more or less testy than a Polar Bear which is a pure predator. Foliage and terrain will be more of a challenge for us. A tree stand perhaps? A blind? A tent with human chatter coming out of it? Sky is the limit. Use your imagination.

I can't say Bigfoot is MY Bigfoot. I can't say they belong to anyone, though I have throughout my life of interest in Bigfoot seen "The Four Horsemen" all seem to lay claim to, and be jealous of, any evidence brought forth by the others. Dahinden wouldn't share files or info, and seemed to scoff at Krantz, and John Greene hated Dahinden according to Steenburgen....on and on and so it went. Personally, I can't poo poo anyone else's thoughts on the subject. After my face to face encounter in November, 1993, I went from being convinced by evidence that they were real and flesh and blood biological hominem, to knowing they were real. It took me a long time to tell anyone other than my maternal grandfather what had happened because I thought people, especially the police community of which I was a member would ride me mercilessly. But knowing didn't make me take possession of the one I saw, or have the temerity to claim I knew anything more about the creatures than I did before I saw one....I only knew that they were real. Nothing more about lifestyle, culture, habits, etc. Now, regardless of who it is that brings in incontrovertible proof to the public, and the scientific community, I will be almost sad for them because neither they nor the remaining Bigfoot in the area where it was discovered will know another moments peace for a long time.

Thus far the only drama happening here was caused by you. You’re a new forum member with a mischievous forum name making big claims with absolutely ZERO evidence to back any of it up…… I am not jealous of you at all. You’re the same game played over and over and over again on this forum by people who evidently seek attention, ANY attention even if it’s bad. You’re not Loki…..you’re a TROLL. You have had plenty of time to post any video you claim to have. 👋🏻 Bye.

I'm skeptical. I'm skeptical of Mike's claims. I'm skeptical of those claiming he's hoaxing. I'm skeptical of the guy claiming to hoax him. There's a fundamental principle we can apply if we are going to be rigorous instead of being knee jerk ... fools. Until we know, we don't know. Until we know what is, we don't know what can't be. Certainty of opinion does not equate to knowledge .. that's a form of narcissism. I think we need to allow this to be an unanswered question, something that may be uncomfortable to those who need an answer even if it is wrong more than they need the truth. We don't have the truth. So IMHO we need to let this stay a question, neither accepting nor rejecting, just watching .. then see what unfolds. Gotta remember how many people believed the so-called debunking of the PGF simply because they had an emotional need for it to be a hoax. Yet it has never been debunked. It has not been proven, either. Lack of a viable means of hoaxing does not eliminate a hoax any more than lack of proof of bigfoot is proof of lack of bigfoot. We need to let this be a question. As they say, 'just sit with it', and not try to force an answer where there isn't one.
