I don't see any reason to get paranoid about the possibility of them being in the woods. They were always there & if you weren't paranoid before, why get all worried now? I'm more afraid of running into a rabid skunk, fox, or raccoon around here. Even that is less of a worry now that they hang around, because they keep them run off. I think it depends on a person's attitude toward them. If you're hostile or afraid, you might have something to worry about, but if you don't think of them as being dangerous, they probably won't be. Mostly they believe in live & let live & generally they're not bad neighbors if they like you. If you meet one face to face, he'll probably just look you over & walk away. So, what's there to be paranoid about?

I look for Zagnut remnants and cigarette butts.

Hello bipto, One would think that even when retreating uphill that the smoothest trails would be prefered for comfort as well as stealth. Though no doubt their foot soles are tough it would make some sense to choose paths that are less cluttered with branches, sticks, pointy rocks and overhead obstructions. Does this make any sense to you as well?. BTW the answers to the previous questions posted were valuable to members here as you and your group are our eyes and ears in Area X. Thanks.

Usually questions like this come from somewhere deeply personal. What makes your mind wander down this path today? Is that something you're comfortable sharing? My answers probably don't mean what you expect them to mean given how you word the questions. The implications don't track. Am I more watchful? If that is possible, then yes. Do I have strong fear? Yes, but not of bigfoot. And while I do desire to see them face to face, bravery has nothing to do with it. Curiosity ... the quest for understanding. Yes, I enjoy the forest and yes, bigfoot keeps me thinking. Native Americans .. don't paint with too broad a brush. Different tribes had different views of who these guys in the forest were, what they were like, etc. Some were fearful, some were merely cautious. I suspect the difference reflects their earliest interactions. I seek answers a mere sighting cannot provide. Neither can a body on a slab. Only interaction. Whether or not I'm a fool is irrelevant, I go the only place answers can be found.

Hard to say. HRPuffnstuff has never struck me as anyone who tried to impress anyone or wanted attention. The whole "can't be released' thing is shady and questionable but HR just doesn't strike me as one of those people.
