Thank you to Gigantor for fixing our server!👏 Sorry folks!

502 was definitely a bad gateway. Glad to see it was not our pathway

And a HUGE shoutout to Gig for all he does to keep this place up and running! IT is not a easy thing to keep going at times.

For the moment, my little chunk o' heaven is calm. The East Evans Creek Fire (15,800 acres?) seems under control. The state fire marshal team tasked with structure protection left a week ago. The local IMT under state forestry has completed their 2 week rotation and has been replaced by a joint team from California and Australia. North-central and Eastern Oregon are a different situation. Something over 1.5 million acres have burned / are burning, several fires well beyond 100K acres, and today they're under a "PDS" red flag warning, not a red flag warning. I'd never heard the term. PDS is particularly dangerous situation. Low humidity, winds to 50 mph over active fires, and not enough resources to address new starts. Despite all of the conspiracy nonsense, these are lightning fires other than East Evans Creek which was the result of a car hitting a power pole and dropping live lines into dry brush.

How dare you question my opinion. When I said "thoughts?", I wasn't actually asking and I surely didn't expect anyone to provide anything worthwhile. Don't you know who I am? I'm like Ralphy in A Christmas Story after turning in his theme and in his mind getting an A+++++, with his classmates hoisting him upon their shoulders, and you are the teacher bringing me back to reality. Oh the gall of some people. Seriously though. Thanks for that. I did considered the car aspect and this was found several miles from the nearest road, so ruled that out. Stepping in holes? Maybe, maybe one leg, maybe and that is even far fetched in my mind. Let's examine this post mortem. What is going to scavenge in Minnesota? Coyotes, wolves, bears, and cougars and none of those would create torque resulting in spiral fractures. I think the key to this discussion really is the evidence of the spiral fractures themselves. That in my mind is quite telling. All good conversations. As a side note, later that same night, I watched a 9 foot squatch through a thermal walk through the forest, check out our camp as a guy was playing his native flute, and then move away for a total of 15 minutes (story for another thread). I'm pretty sure that is swaying my views on these breaks, but nevertheless I think they are good evidence.

A friend works on / volunteers on a ranch along the next river corridor to the west. They have found several deer skeletons, meat removed, just tendons, bones, and hide, with the rear leg broken and the neck snapped inside of an open-air barn. This is consistent with observations from other places. Thoughts? Well, you did ask. I think it is useless so far as providing evidence for existence. There are far too many alternate explanations for it to be convincing to anyone. Deer break their legs either stepping in holes, being hit by cars, and so on. As tendons dry, they can bend the neck or other joints in ways consistent with deliberate manipulation. What my friend found, the photos you shared, are interesting information for people who've already decided for themselves that bigfoot is, or is most probably, real, but so far as moving anyone from non-believer to believer .. nah, not going to move that needle in the slightest. I wish to thank you for sharing, don't want you to regret that based on my seemingly negative comments. I find it interesting .. but I'm not someone who needs convincing. MIB

Happy Anniv. Mr and Mrs. Huntster! I hope you are both feeling much better. Heat index in TN, MS and AR has been 110-127 sometimes lately and IT is nasty. (Climate change denialists look away, there is nothing to see here.) But, yes, Happy Birthday, USA! Our leaders are doing a lot of stupid things right now, but hopefully common sense will eventually prevail. I have hope for the future because we have smart and wonderful kids who deserve much, much better and they will change things. The recent BFF outage was unprecedented; thank-you Gigantor and whoever else helped to get it running again. Semper Fidelis!

We have a pathway and a gateway? Next thing you know we'll get all high-falutin' and have whatever high-falutin' websites have. Maybe a portal?

Had me worried, that was a long one! I don't post much but still visit often...

I recently read this thread in full. Super fascinating.

PRE-PGF FILM HYPE: Here is a really good interview (YouTube) of Bill Munns. In this interview he goes into detail about this Claimed Smoking Gun Bigfoot documentary and film. In addition, Bill covers a lot of territory about the PGF in general. It’s a long interview I admit. the Hype video discussion occurs at various points but esp in the early parts of this video interview.

Holy kamoley! It's good to be back! Great to see old friends, again.

Wow! This is great! I was afraid we were done for good.

Congrats on making it to 50, Mr & Mrs Huntster. Us long haulers seem to be a rarity these days, 62 years for my sweetie and I.

I've got a flu, and I just got Mrs. Huntster out of the hospital on Thursday. It's cloudy/rainy, but I like that better than heat. Our 50th wedding anniversary is at the end of the month. No plans. Life dictates our actions day by day, but I'm loving our Alaskan summer!

I became intested in bigfoot after a sighting on a road near north carolina i have been following it ever since

This picture was sent to me by a friend. It’s Inchelium Washington. It on the Colville Indian Reservation. This is the Modrite fire. Stay safe folks! 🙏🏻😥

Here in BC, most of the Fraser Canyon and the Cariboo Plateau is blazing right now, with at least 4 towns evacuated, and several more under threat. One of the fires is now over 90,000 hectares!

This, in my opinion, is the best circumstantial evidence for the existence of sasquatch. Let me explain. I found these hind deer legs in northern Minnesota, both broken. The breaks are spiral fractures. In order to get a spiral fracture, the bones need to be twisted. In order to twist, thumbs are required (and tremendous strength). I have come across this multiple times. The next question, does this happen naturally? There was a research paper on this and the answer is yes rarely, and only under very limited conditions. Those conditions require a sun baked hard pan surface where bones were stepped on by large ungulates causing twisting breaks. These bones were found in a bog and as you can see, are sitting on sphagnum moss. Anyone else find similar evidence? Thoughts?

That was one of the first challenges that arose upon the discovery of homo floresiensis fossils in Liang Bua cave, so yes, it will.

I agree with you .. but that's not relevant so far as moving the bar. What's in your mind, what's in my mind .. also not relevant to moving the bar. The only evidence that matters, so far as moving us closer to scientific acceptance, is evidence that skeptics and outright scoftics can't find an alternate explanation for. A body or a large enough piece to test and retest DNA from so many times that contamination or degradation is simply not a feasible explanation. There may be lesser evidence that draws scientists in .. then THEY will have to find the body instead of US, but ultimately it is going to come down to a body or major piece of a body. I wish I were wrong.

I found this awhile ago.

Greetings! I'm Klaus. Never had an actual sighting, but heard quite a lot of strangeness in the woods I grew up. Always around fall.

The ranch is FULL of blackberries. We never had blackberries when we moved there from the coast in 75! My parents would freak out if they were still alive!

It's that time again, many types of fruit are in season. I was reminded by a familiar social media post from near here. Paraphrasing, the whole crop/tree's worth gone right before humans would have gotten to it. Other folks nearby and farther away, are commenting that they have similar issues. The familiar MO of entire crops missing with no damage, no debris, or other indications of regular animals makes me take notice.

Spent time with family! Best way to spend any time. We felt your pain, VaFooter, as the eastern panhandle was just as hot and humid!

Giant squid are huge, the size of a school bus. They're extinct or nearly so, right? Impossible to film. Never before seen in their natural habitat? Turns out, there are tens of millions of giant squid in the oceans, plenty enough to support the current Sperm Whale population. Only a few years ago (literally, like 2024) we thought them near extinction, and had never filmed a live one except under extremely unusual accidental conditions or the few washed up on beaches or caught stuck to the mouth of a whale mid-meal. Now we can film them any time we want. The secret? Changing the light used to film the deep. This is an analogous situation to sasquatch, just in case you were wondering why I'm talking about giant squid.

Thank you for your work!

Portal sounds intriguing.

We understate the thanks owed to those who brought us back. thanks is all we can offer. don’t know what ya got until it’s (nearly) gone.

Thanks and praise!

Glad to see you're back. I received an unsafe warning earlier in the day, but they appear to be gone now.

a big THANK YOU to all the admins and behind-the-scenes folks who got the forum back on its feet again. Much appreciated.

WOW, we're back! I was hoping this would happen, I missed all of you.

Man, that shutdown had me worried! Glad to see the site back up and running! Huge round of applause for Gigantor, please.

Hello there, My name is Clark Henrie, I'm a life long bigfoot enthusiast and I love researching this topic as well as cryptozoology of all kinds. I look forward to sharing some of my amateur research with the community (I enjoy reading old newspapers and books looking for past encounters), Anyway glad to be here. --Clark

Hi

Awesome to be back – in more than one sense for me! Although I now get an unsafe connection warning when opening the website, "proceed at your own caution" style.

Glad to see you back!

Hi all I'm Shake, 35, and used to be a member of this forum a long time ago. My interested in sasquatch must have started almost 20 years ago, back when I was still a teenager living in Germany. I moved to Los Angeles eight years ago. I used to read the reports on BFRO for hours, absolutely riveted by the fact that hundreds of eyewitnesses were clearly describing the same mammal. How could they ALL be lying or hallucinating? I think what convinced me early on that sasquatches must be real is this BFRO page: https://www.bfro.net/news/SnowTracks/WI-tab.asp I was also fascinated with the Kentucky project, back before it was renamed the Erickson project (which happened around 17 years ago). There is a lengthy blogpost by DB Donlon about it that I'd love to share here later. My favourite recent evidence is the absolutely awesome Ouachita Project Monograph by the NAWAC: https://www.woodape.org/index.php/opmonograph/ I've also loved John Bindernagel's The Discovery of the Sasquatch. I'm dying to read his earlier book North America's Great Ape, but it doesn't seem to be available for purchase for under 100 $ anywhere... I'm excited to rejoin the fold of the one and only Bigfoot Forums! :)

I came for more in depth discussion on the topic. Most places are so tribal that real discussion doesn’t really take place.

Orang Pendek and Otang are 2 undiscovered primates I believe to be more likely to be true than not.

I hunted the Canadian side of the Yaak (Yahk in Canada) over about a decade back in the late '80s/early '90s, with some success. On one trip, my wife and I each got a mule deer and a whitetail, and I got a nice 6 pt elk. I have a pre digital photo of my wife standing at a border post on a mountain top with one foot in BC and the other in Montana. Great country to hunt in those days. Nice shot of the young moose!

Camp

Came down Spread creek from Canuck pass. Had lunch in Yaak Montana. Drove out to Northwest peak. And then back tracked down the mountain and camping along the west fork of the Yaak river.

Thanks for sharing. The story is one I find very interesting. Hunster provided me with some information awhile back.

I suggest that the plural of "bigfoot" is "bigfoot."
