What is that noise? Incident: I hear a horse walking down a cobblestone street in the USA Result: It's more likely a horse but it could be a zebra Incident: I hear horse hooves in Africa Result: It's more likely to be a zebra and unlikely to be a horse. Incident: I see impression in the mud. Result: It's an antelope/ deer (and it's unlikely to be a Bigfoot) Now the issue of noise in the woods. We hear noise in the woods. Whatever it is, it is certainly more likely to be non-bigfoot (and explainable) than Bigfoot making various noises. I'm not saying Bigfoot wouldn't make noises as it would make sense at some point it might need to (warning, mating, and so on). It is just this: the more likely thing becomes the more likely thing.

Careful BD, zoo gorillas throw poop. The tongue pop scenario is interesting guesswork. I can do tongue pops but the volume is low. 'Wood knocks' are a subject that I do not follow. One must identify the sound type and source at 'point blank range'. I have had 'percussion type' incidents in the past. A widow maker falling from the forest canopy and crashing to the ground. Also, I would walk up a snow covered Forest Service Road to perform seasonal altitude checks at a track way site. I was followed by something making sets of booming 'knocks'. They sounded like wood on wood in sets of 5 in repetition. The timing seemed mechanical. The sound was always above and behind me. I suspected a bird. Months later when I was at the track way site, a Sooty Grouse came at me from the treetops like a dying Hail Mary pass and landed several feet from me. Walked around and hooted. Verification at point blank range. Peterson Field Guides, Western Birds, attributes ventriloquism to Sooty Grouse. I did not need to be stalked by a ventriloquial game bird. The Sooty Grouse that stalked me was very loud. They have to be loud to go the distance to find a mate. The sounds that I have listened to on the web are very muted. The Sooty Grouse has an extensive range in Western North America. Do not be the subjects of fowl play.

I assume you looked at "Three from the Vault" before you posted that comment WSA. I finally got around to looking at that list again so I could post what I was listening to when I saw it. I had been thinking about Deal for a few hours now, (another story about the engineer husband seeing Deal by JGB and his necklace of beads blew off his neck in 360 degrees - he still can't figure that out), but then saw that Deal and Johnny B were on that list. You knew that right? Just checking. It kind of made me pause a minute, like is that just a coincidence or duh, he knows the show! lol big dummy What you didn't know, however, was that I was listening to the second disc when I saw this huge big black thing leaping high in the air across the little country back road that I was on. I had been playing disc two from "Three / Vault" at the time, while sitting for several minutes in the road, with the car running, cranking Jerry and the boys, feeling happy for summer vacation coming on, and looked forward to head home, and saw it in a mid air jump, going over a 4 foot fence from a hillside to a ravine. I later discovered that that spot is a game path because in that same place, I have seen deer, (showed me that for SURE what I saw wasn't a deer), and turkey and rabbit. So was he listening to the Grateful Dead, or just chasing deer? He was probably chasing game, (it was 8pm, May 14, 2013). OR he was just hanging around because he felt cool listening to Jerry, came in for a closer look and got busted! Either way, the big guy was there when I was cranking the tunes. It certainly didn't scare him away. If I remember this correctly, (have to check out the report again), the investigators said it was approx 240 feet.
