Saving Bigfoot

[Guest tracker]

Yea i think the guy mention there was hair on the right side. He also said he couldn't get the nasty smell out or off the car too. I wonder how that would sounded reporting it to his insurance. Especially trying to explain the trunk damage and the interior smell.

You've seen a grizzly and a javalina in the wild?

Saw the grizzly on a friend's ranch in Wyoming. At least that's what he said it was, & we took his word for it.

I saw the Javalinas in South Texas. So, where did you see Javalinas?

Of course not. I'm not the one equating their elusiveness to super-human intelligence.

I'm not either. I'm equating it to super "grizzly, alligator, Javalina, cat, & dog intelligence".

Do you have any data on the number of grizzly bear deaths by vehicle collision in Alabama?

Are grizzly bears in Alabama more intelligent than grizzly bears in Alaska?

I think all we have in Alabama are black bears. If we had grizzlies my uncles and Dad never mentioned it....

Why can't Sasquatch have sense enough to dodge a car? There are plenty of reports of them getting hit but I think they do more damage to the cars. Think about what hitting a cow does to your car......my car disintegrated but the cow walked off.

Arizona. I killed one, too. It was one of the few animals I took with archery equipment. It didn't taste as good as I thought it would, and the archery kill wasn't as fulfilling as I thought it would be.

I rather like the BOOM sound of my rifles.

I've mentioned the human road kill, too, and since sasquatches are clearly more intelligent than humans, they must possess "super-human intelligence", right?

There isn't a single instance of Sasquatch being hit by a car that is verifiable. No blood, no hair, no flesh, no photo, no lab test (that's ever been fully documented) and last but not least no body. So Jodie either Sas does indeed have the sense to not get hit by cars or there is no Sas to get hit in the first place.

They can, but not all sasquatches throughout history. Again, even relatively rare grizzly bears and intelligent humans get run over by cars.

Now, if there were incredibly few sasquatches, and those few sasquatches rarely got near highways, well...................

There are plenty of reports of them getting hit but I think they do more damage to the cars.

1) How many is "plenty"?

2) I've seen plenty of cars that hit moose, and even one that hit a black bear. The damage is a given.

So is the eventual death of the struck animal..........

Or so very few sasquatches that primarily live in roadless areas that they de facto rarely have the opportunity to get hit by vehicles.

So that might be a good reason why two grizzlies (out of 35,000) were hit by vehicles in a primarily roadless Alaska, and no grizzlies at all (out of no grizzlies at all) were hit by vehicles in Alabama that enjoys thousands of miles of roads?

Hummmm, you might be right when you say verifiable because if all it left was a dent that doesn't prove a thing. I wasn't bringing it up for that reason, just merely using cow versus bigfoot against cars as a comparison.

Speaking of cows an things. I once drove through Sonora Mexico down into Durango and much of the trip was at night. The stuff in the roads was unbelievable! Horses, burros, cattle, people, oxcarts, bicycles, and pets. Its advised not to drive rural Mexican roads at night because of all the things roaming free down there. If Bigfoot was ever going to get hit on the road it'd be in Mexico!

Mmmm-hmmmm. Very impressive!!!

So, did you figure that out all by yourself?

Do you have any data on the number of grizzly bear deaths by vehicle collision in Alabama?

**********************

Conversely, maybe a bear running on two legs was hit, and the vehicle operator thought it was a sasquatch, reported it as such, the bear then escaped, and we have a classic "misidentification" report?

Sounds like you may be a Grizzly expert. How many have you seen in Alabama?

How many bears have you seen running fast enough on their hind legs to be mistaken for a bigfoot? Not being a bear expert, I couldn't say for sure, but I hear that they don't usually travel upright unless they are fighting.

1) How many is "plenty"? Oh lets see, I can think of three off the top of my head, but one was a motorcycle, does that count? A guy ran into a reddish colored one and spun out, he got a handful of hair but I never read what he did with it. There is the story on Monster Quest of the girl hitting a Bigfoot just as she was arriving home. I've read a report where one got confused while trying to get across an interstate in California full of witnesses and got clipped by a truck.

2) I've seen plenty of cars that hit moose, and even one that hit a black bear. The damage is a given. I think it has to do with how tall the sasquatch is, if it gets hit, it is usually the lower leg which allows a roll off, otherwise the car would look like an accordion

So is the eventual death of the struck animal..........yeah, but if no major organs are hit, then it's possible it could limp away to safety before being found and survive, just depends on the speed of the car and the position it's standing in when and if it gets hit. If it's squatting in the road I imagine it would be hurt worse. The bigger and taller you are the more likely you are to go flying rather than being squished. Don't you remember the fattest kid always got catapulted the highest on the trampoline?

I have yet to master posting multiple responses, sorry.

Officially (and you know how that word works ) grizz do not range east of the Mississippi River historically. Presently they are limited to Wyo & Montana and north. I know there was one killed in Colorado. There have been inquiries by bear specialists who are trying to verify them in Colorado and may or may not have by now. Seen references to them being in eastern Oregon as well and being predators.. spreading distribution happens. What I just mentioned here should be considered minimum present range..

Regarding: There isn't a single instance of Sasquatch being hit by a car that is verifiable. No blood, no hair, no flesh, no photo, no lab test (that's ever been fully documented) and last but not least no body. So Jodie either Sas does indeed have the sense to not get hit by cars or there is no Sas to get hit in the first place.

The only description I recall about a possible hit was from a trucker that was written about in the John Green book Apes Among Us. A trucker hit one at high speed and he said that the top of its head was higher than the top of his truck on impact. It bounced off and he had no interest in going back to see if it was alive, dead or wounded. He was terrified. If I recall correctly he quit his job and took a lot of heat for talking about it and using that excuse to explain the truck damage. I know of someone who claimed to have nearly hit one but its a second hand report. That is all I got..

Indeed, I spend days at a time looking for animals with binoculars and spotting scopes. For weeks.

Never seen a bigfoot.

Maybe they're afraid you'll make your rifle go BOOM at them.
