I have seen it. Not bad, but nothing new to add. Typical Bigfoot documentary.It is all fantasy anyway. Most of us educated rational people know Bigfoot certainly do not exist in the modern world. In any world actually.

Nice article, thanks gigantor. And there's the lack of any Gigantopithecus fossils found in north america. I believe it was Grover Krantz who first came up with the Gigantopithecus theory in an attempt to root his own sasquatch theories to methodological science (it should be said though that Heuvelman used Gigantopithecus as his explanation for the yeti and Krantz may likely have cribbed it for sasquatch without attribution). Unfortunately for Krantz and the field in general, he was a sloppy researcher going back to his grad school days at Berkeley. A case in point was his attempt to get sasquatch scientifically named "conditionally" even though no specimen had been found. In his paper he argued that the Gigantopithecus fossil had a horizontal rami and that meant bipedalism. One scientist reviewing the paper noted that there are living apes with very similar jaws which are not bipedal. Krantz's book, Climatic Races and Decent Groups, where he put forth his theory used outdated methodologies and was roundly dismissed as a result. In an age of dna research and genetics Krantz was using dental anomalies, fingerprint patterns and cephalic index. But I digress, I'm reading up on some of the early researchers so this stuff is top of mind right now.

Hello Cryptic Megafauna, OH NO! That must mean my real father is...is...Albert Ostman! NAAAHHH. Besides, my mother wore shoes.

As the spokesperson for the Ontario, Canada forest industry could you please post a copy of the press release that provides that assurance? Ha, no Branco and if I could ask for such a thing, those men and women would laugh me right out of the province. So would the many logger's I've known. I'm going by my 34 years with the govt. agency that regulated the forest industry. t. Still unclear how you are able to "assure" us that "forest industry" is not withholding info if you've never even asked anyone within the industry about the big critters. I can understand why you wouldn't ask your boss. Good jobs are hard to find. So basically, your assurance is simply based on the fact that you've never seen one, which in turn assures you they don't exist. Isn't that basically just a personal opinion? One final question if you don't mind: If you clearly saw a Bigfoot crossing a forest road on your way to doing whatever it is that you do for the regulatory governmental agency, would you tell any supervisor about it?

Better check your facts it was the poster above my post about portals that brought the subject into this thread. The facts seem less important than a good narrative to some folks Crow.

Maybe they are portal entrances wsa? I sure wouldn't want you to limit yourself.

You are describing the National Park Service. With all due respect, your opinion is correct and encompasses some of the Forest Service’s goals but a minor part when compared to supplying wood for lumber to the public. The map below shows new and old clear cuts from the Rogue River National Forest Service land in Oregon. My employment with them was ‘tree hugger’/ park designer in 1975. Since this time, the Forest Service has cut way back on timber production and does a good job for the public. My desire is for them to come out with bigfoot proof, so we can protect their dens and areas around the den, and to enact criminal offenses for shooting BFs. Logging can remain at present levels. Win…………win……… just my two cents
