  1. One day not long ago a fellow in the lane next to me at the range was playing with his AR carbine. It had a nice red dot sighting system, and I commented on it. He asked me if I'd like to try it. I politely declined, but then he told me that it was chambered in 10mm. Well, that was a horse of a different color! It was fun. A great shooter. If one likes carbines in handgun chambering, it would be an attractive one.

  2. Spray works for skunks pretty effectively. Venomous snakes kill large grazing animals (horses, cattle, etc) if the grazer gets bit on the nose/muzzle, and the swelling blocks breathing. If Sasquatches exist, they must occasionally get sprayed by skunks and bitten by venomous snakes just like any other creature. Here in Alaska it's pretty accepted that spray works pretty well on nosy, curious bears, but will not work on pissed off bears. The problem is that we don't get to choose the bear's attitude when contact occurs. If I have the ability to carry a lot of gear, I bring a can of spray for my cook tent, but I carry a holstered firearm at all times, and I try to keep my rifle nearby...........like, within 10 yards.

  3. ^^ I agree that vetting stories will not resolve the issue. Unfortunately, it will take a type specimen on a dissecting table before people say, "there is an unknown hominid/ape in North America, its real, and its spectacular!"

  4. If we had to vet every story, every track, every sighting on the subject of Bigfoot? We would have very little content to discuss. Its better I think to take it all in, with a grain of salt of course, and file it away for when your out there doing it. This is not the first story I have heard in which a Bigfoot has targeted someone with a rock. It is the first story I have heard about someone using pepper spray against one. It would seem while it slowed it down, it failed in stopping the attack. Thank you BC for chiming in. At least the topography of the story is accurate. I don’t trust bear spray simply because of foliage and wind. A large caliber bullet doesn’t care about either.

  5. Mutations do not separate by "electrostatic charges", rather they appear in separate sequences and are detected and categorized by base position and original and final base, e.g. C1048T, which says that at reference position 1048 a C base was changed to a T base. BTW my 2024 Texas Bigfoot Conference slides (PowerPoint), with my comments, can be viewed/downloaded on the FB group "Coalition for Critical Thinking in Bigfoot Research." The file is too big to upload here. However, the PDF version, without comments, is uploaded HERE. Also, I submitted a paper with much more explanation to RHI: isu.edu\RHI, a free access online journal edited by Jeff Meldrum. TexasBigfoot Conference 2024-10-26.pdf

  6. One things that's important to understand is the USG Is not a unified monolith sharing intelligence and information openly among the various entities and agencies. It's the reason there is no unified finger print database. DOD will want a set and then the FBI will want their own set and then if you take a job with DOE they way want their own set. They'll each take a set but won't share. It's odd but it's how they operate. Is their likely some back corner somewhere where information about bigfoot has been cataloged and filed away? Sure, I'm willing to bet. But that doesn't mean that the USG in terms of the various members of the entities acting in all areas know or care about it even if it's pertinent information. Personally, I could see there being efforts to maintain control of information in regards to something like this only because the phenomenon isn't under control or easily explainable. In the book "the locals" there's mention of goings on like this which I find to be fascinating. I'm really just spewing a stream of consciousness but this question came up for me recently and these were my thoughts.
