I'm surprised by Norseman saying that these things are about as smart as Chimpsa and Gorillas etc and I've said it many times before that I think people grossly underestimate the intelligence of these things. IMO of course they're smarter that other higher primates like Chimps and Orangs etc. Look at us being here writing what we do every day and the existence of this forum for proof. If they did have regular animal intelligence, or even higher primate intelligence like Chimps etc, this subject would have been nailed a long time ago. These animals utilise their environment to their benefit like no other animal on earth, clearly.

In their "world", and the knowledge they use to survive there, they are a lot smarter than us. Otherwise the pro-kill folks would have made the deadlines a long time ago. Thank goodness they have never tried to actually study the BF's trait and habits or peacefully interact with them before committing themselves to "putting one on the slab for science. (Of course if they had done that work, no rational person would even consider killing one.) Neither science nor the government need or want any more "voucher specimens";

i)are their feet really all that big? ii)really? Bigfoot, now? iii)you mean like in the beef jerkey ads? iv)so, you haven't actually met one yet, then, right? v)didnt that one guy have a body of one he was driving around the country with? vi) you mean 'swamp thing' dontcha? And my favorite.... vii) whats this about the "purple glow"?

You are right; I'm not spilling my guts on an internet forum about what has taken me forty plus years, driving tens of thousands miles and spending a lot of money, and a hxxx of lot of days and nights in the field to learn a little bit about these critters! Why would I, or any of the rest of the guys and gals who have done the same thing all over the Southeastern U.S.? To provide some no-nothing, trigger happy yahoo their nonsensical chance to be the "first" to put one on the slab for science? These animals have been here a long, long time. One only has to see a few of them to know they are our nearest kin, and to know that they are MUCH more human than any other ape. Many who frequent the forum - most who never post - know that what I have stated is factual. Doesn't matter a whit that most of the "regular internet Bigfoot researches" don't care to believe what I have written, but Bigfoot is only an enigma to those that have not made the efforts to find and interact with them. Anyone who is naive to believe that the government with the most sophisticated surveillance equipment in the world does not know that these creatures exist on government lands and military bases, and understand that at times bodies some of the creatures had, for one reason or the other, to be removed, does not have reasoning ability enough to ask for proof of anything related to Bigfoot. Just remember what I have said in the previous posts. BF needs no more help to survive; they'll still be here when humans have wiped themselves out. Feel free to vent your spleen, I'm too old to give a hoot.

Produce some evidence of this Not only for the American Federal government but the Canadian as well If you can't produce this evidence of conspiracy then you are just telling a story

SS, I can imagine that agents could be intimidating enough, to cause you to not talk about something. However, these guys are talking about their BF encounters, and BF secret agent encounters, quite a bit. I think they're just adding flavor to the story, in order to gain more listeners. If they had really run into agents, and been intimidated, they would not be talking at all.

Kill the FIRST one you see; that'll show'em we respect their rights. Yeah, kill a booger; that will give the rest a little room and a little more food. Some documentation; a bit of personal knowledge of it, admissions of some involved, partial list of lands set aside for them; that's about it. All of which you could have discovered yourself if you had spent the time trying to learn about them as you have on this forum nattering about the grandiose plan to collect (AKA, kill) a "voucher specimen".

I don't think anyone has it all figured out. Some are simply more experienced than others. Jane Goodall lived with chimps, is/was an expert on them, and we're still learning things about them. Each level of knowledge simply reveals and provides access to a deeper level of questions. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss, though, the possibility that someone can have repeated encounters with bigfoot. If, for example, you live along a migratory route through arid country and right on top of one of the few potable water sources surrounded by better vegetation and an assortment of small prey (essentially an oasis), you're more likely to encounter them on a seasonal basis. If you camp in dozens of places in the Sierras over the years and find one particularly isolated beautiful spot that you go back to time and again, don't be surprised if they favor it for the same reasons you do (isolation, food sources, water sources, fish, etc), and don't be surprised if they interact with you repeatedly. But these are happenstance. Could a person go further and develop an understanding that locations like those above improve his/her chances of encountering and interacting with them? Why not? It is essentially the scientific method. If it pans out there's no reason why that individual shouldn't be able to develop the opportunity to gain more knowledge if they can more regularly put themselves in the same time and space as a group of bigfoot.

In regards to the original question.. if proven then what? It's already proven, it's a matter of acceptance. If a person at this point does not believe they are proven, again it will continue to require acceptance.

I'm curious as to how the camera could not catch the apple being taken. The way that it just disappeared out of thin air looks like someone turned the camera off and then back on after it was taken. He did say that the top of the head that was captured was at the 6 foot level- human height. Standing also knew exactly where the camera was placed.

I wonder how they will get them to come out & be studied...... Especially after somebody shoots a family member & steals the body. That can't be good PR.

"Live by the sword, die by the sword". They'll get theirs.
