Guest Twilight Fan Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I honestly have no idea what I'd do if I found a baby Bigfoot in the woods, and it seemed lost/distressed and orphaned. I know I wouldn't want to leave it alone, since predators (like bears and mountain lions) lurk all around the forest. I'd probably take it home with me, (if the creature seemed willing and kept following me around) and try to care for it until I figured out my next move...Keep in mind, I'm talking about a BABY Bigfoot, NOT an adult. What would you do? (Note: You don't have to believe in Bigfoot to participate in this discussion. It's just a hypothetical scenario). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest parnassus Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) I'd pull out my camera and my smartphone camera, to make it run away within seconds. I could even control which way it ran, by pointing my camera in one direction, I know it would run the other way. ps I'm filing a copyright application on this, so don't think you can rip this idea off.

Guest BlurryMonster Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Take it home, take care of it, then take pictures and show the anthropology heads at my school (one of whom even jokingly told us to do so if anyone in the class did just this). After getting it in the hands of the primate/biological anthropology specialist, I'd sit back enjoy my prospects as an acclaimed "bright new mind" in anthropology and all the grant money that would come from making such a big discovery.

JDL Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I'd respond the same way I'd respond to finding a bear cub. Start looking for the mother (and in the case of bigfoot, father) who is about to rip my kidney out from behind. I pursued one day a "kid" that was throwing pebbles at me from behind a boulder at the mouth of the draw. Pasted from a pevious post in the Ecological Impact thread: "In Lemmon Valley, Nevada there was a particular area where I used to go to catch lizards. The summer of '73 there was a bumper crop and a concurrent cicada hatch. But the only water sources were near our neighborhood. The lizard site was only a few hundred yards from our house. One day my brother and I went up there. All the rocks and small boulders had been scattered. Where there had been scores of lizards, several bigger than any I'd seen, there were now none. As I was trying to figure out what had happened a pebble came sailing over my right shoulder. I turned and snapped at my brother, but he was on the other side of me. The pebble had come from behind a boulder at the mouth of a draw. I said "Let's go catch that kid throwing rocks" and my brother got spooked. He said: "I think there are some people living back there". I said "Come on" and started for the mouth of the draw. He took off running for the house, which caused me to stop and watch him in disbelief for a few seconds. I had trouble catching up to the kid, going through several winding turns up the draw before I caught up with her. I don't know how I knew it was female, because I only saw her backside, but I'm sure it was female. She was covered with even brown hair. I pulled up short as she went around a turn to the right, then swung out wide to my left as I slowly rounded it so I could get a good look as I creeped around. She was gone, so I went wide to my right and rounded the next left curve and wide left again as I rounded the next right one and came into a shallow basin between three hilltops. The vegetation on the hills was only sagebrush, weeds, sticker bushes, and usually a few sparse succulent grasses. Usually there would be some ground-nesting birds and rodents, jackrabbits, etc. No sign of the "kid", but plenty of large boulders around. The whole area looked like the area right around a fire ant mound. Every bit of vegetation that wasn't too woody to eat or contain a drop of moisture had been scoured away. No birds, no rodents, just a parched sense to the immediate area. I thought, "I'm chasing something's kid" and decided to head back out, which I did cautiously."

BobbyO Posted January 28, 2012 SSR Team Share Posted January 28, 2012 Just out of curiosity, what's the thinking behind finding a Baby BF in the woods, then hunting it ?? How would that be defined and how would someone do it ?? Would it be like you've found it, but then you sneak back away from it, then you sneak back up on it and probably kill it ??

My thinking about the "hunting it" option is that there would be a lot of people wanting to make a name for themselves and be known as the first person to capture and provide a dead Bigfoot body to science. That way, their name would go down in history for proving the legend is real and they could likely name their price for said body. (At least I'm guessing many people would do that, if given the chance and they had a gun with them).

Guest Jodie Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I would be wondering why it was abandoned in the first place, it usually means something is wrong with the young. I guess I would try to get in touch with Erickson to see if he would come get it and place it on his land with its own kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Run like hell in case Mum or Dad turn up and see the situation in a way that doesn't favor you ". If you do, i'll vote that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasfooty Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) I'd whistle until Mom or an older sibling came & got it. I certainly wouldn't kill it or take it home. You have no idea what kind of mess the little ones can make until you see the results of a food fight on your front porch. They can cause disasters.
