Following Trumps directive, the usda is going to allow the logging of 112 million acres of national forest across the USA to increase timber production. The claim that the Trump administration is making is that it will reduce forest fires and (so they say). This is primarily being done to increase timber production with ZERO consideration of the effect that this will have on the woods in the USA. I’m worried that this will have a negative impact on the BiGFo0Ts that are still alive. It was the unregulated logging the 18 and 1900’s that drove them to isolation.. Protect our forests Land of Sasquatch Dont tread on me!

Yeah, unless we're missing something .. and I don't think we are. I think belief in the existence of that something is inseparable from believing there's a coverup / conspiracy. I haven't seen evidence of either. I do know a couple people who were bigfooters in the older days, 70s, who swear their homes were "gone through" and their evidence taken, report encounters with MIBs (sorry, I wasn't old enough yet), and so on .. but I also know they were doing illegal substances including 'shrooms and acid in those years. What weight do you put on the accounts told by people who were admittedly using hallucinogens? I don't dismiss it entirely but the ol' eyebrow-of-doubt is substantially elevated .. verbal account, taken by itself, falls short of extraordinary proof y' might say.

MIB I couldn’t agree more. Perfectly said. All I’m saying is Bigfoot doesn’t reach that level. Some other things do.

Being Loggers by trade, I am happy to see our own resources being put to use. Also as someone lives very near the unmanaged forested land I am also grateful. I only can speak to my own area and experiences. I really don't believe it will impact Bigfoot here. We have so much wilderness and Park lands that there is plenty for both. JMHO. I have to remember when forming opinions only know what I know and don't know what I don't know.

Homo Erectus was using fires well before 1.5 million years ago in Africa. Cooking meat on fires was very well established in Homo Sapiens by the time they crossed the land bridge to the new world. Along with many other species of the genus Homo. And Native Americans did use fires as a tool. They made habitat for the ungulates they like to eat better.

The point is that I'm concerned that even more human activity in more remote areas is going to drive the species even further to isolation and possibly extinction.
