Finding Bigfoot


Guest

Recommended Posts

If they aren't armed then it means a couple things: They don't actually think there is something out there.

There's always "something out there". Most places they go there's populations of man eaters like bear and mountain lions. The danger is real and I would bet at least one person is carrying even against the BFRO rules.

Remember that guy that slept near bears and got all them good pictures? Then they found his torso and a few pieces of his girlfriend.

Finding Bigfoot is the most successful Show on Bigfoot ever made. Everything Bigfoot is entertainment and I mean EVERYTHING! Until somebody gets proof, and until then you have to be pretty naive to expect anything else.

Anytime somebody does claim proof it ALWAYS turns out to be a big fat lie.

And by being popular, it means there is interest, I.e. eyeballs and wallets available, which means we will see a bunch of bigfoot related shows, specials, movies etc. which is great for entertainment. Will it help to prove existence? Maybe. Nothing else seems to help enough to get to proof.

So, I thought of something. On last night's episode, something tore down a tree in response to Moneymaker making a loud grunt call. After this, he continued making the call. Assuming Bigfoot is real, plus responsible for the tree falling, is Moneymaker putting himself and the others at risk by contunuing the threat display? Obviously it's a threat response by a Bigfoot if it knocks trees and branches down, so isnt Moneymaker extending a challenge by threatening back?

If a 9' tall, 800lb, homicidally territorial, bipedal ape, is drawn in by MMs noises, then steps out from behind a tree, rips off his arm and beats him to death with the wet end, it will be his own silly fault. I would just request that that he does it on camera so that we can have some solid proof.

The team probably knows that if a real BF heard their growls and came to inspect them, it would see that two humans were in the area and would stay a safe distance back to observe them rather than charging them. I actually don't think they expect to be charged or confronted by an angry one.

First of all it's not two people. It's the actors, sound guy and camera guy, at a minimum. They are carrying strange equipment, that might or might not resemble a rifle to them. Second of all, you are either there to get the proof, or you aren't. Based on their plan of staying in one place for a week, I don't think they are very serious about solving the mystery. That ends the show and the money train. I wonder why more people don't run to the sounds if they claim to be serious about solving this. Yes, it would be scary and dangerous and I probably wouldn't do it, but I don't ask people to watch my videos of blobsquatches and tree shadow. If you go out to solve the mystery, solve it.

I wish the format of the show would change. I like when they talk to the people and go over the encounters. More than I like them tromping in the woods. Sure they can still do that but don't show it unless something is noticed strange.

But the stories to me are always more interesting.

I wish they spent more time in the last episode with Scott. I love his Videos even though they seem to be blob-Squatches at times. But he really is out in the woods trying to set up those camera traps.

I also would love more ancient back ground told on the areas they are in. Like the screaming lady.

Make it more educational would be good.

The show makes money, it will not change. The team gets a cut of it, and then they all go back to being puppets for ratings, throwing away all credibility and serving themselves up to blatant ridicule by the general public. The are but one of the many exhibits of the freak show conglomeration called "Reality Television." Oh yeah, they are cashing in too.

I want to entertain the notion that bigfoot is real, but these applejohns are helping me disbelieve more and more LOL!

Tonight's episode was alright but the picture of the digital blobsquatch ...er, the shadows and leaves blowing in the wind, should never have been the focal point of the show like it was. I enjoy hearing the stories from the town hall folks but after the team travels into the forest, it becomes predictable.

I kept wondering, what the heck is triggering the game cam??

That's kind of what I was thinking. A bigfoot in the area may have heard MM and been fooled once into thinking it was another bigfoot. After knocking down the tree and realizing the "other bigfoot" didn't get the message, it figured out it was just some stupid humans and clammed up and waited for them to leave. Why bother attacking? They are probably used to the humans moving on their way eventually, and they have the time to wait. It was not going to get fooled twice (shame on me) by further MM or group calls.

Game cams are notorious for taking pictures of nothing.

There is a pretty good thread about it somewhere on the forum.

When I got mine and did some testing in my backyard it's astounding what they miss and how slow they react.

Mine's a reconyx about 3 yrs old, maybe they have improved but based on my results, they are a ton of fun if you like pics of deer, raccoons, cats, squirrels, dogs ect ect pretty much every animal in the woods can be captured on one except Bigfoot.

But hey get one and a little of this

and you'll be posting Bigfoot pics in no time!

This is a copy of the press release from Animal Planet:

Let me just quote this:

This past Sunday's FINDING BIGFOOT premiere of the series ranks as the most-watched ever, with 1.614M P2+ viewers. In January, FINDING BIGFOOT helped Animal Planet rank among the Top 5 ad-supported cable networks on Sunday in the 10 PM hour based on M25-54 delivery (excluding sports, tied with TNT).

Now ask yourself if they are going to change anything about the show. They will bleed this bugger until it dies.

Also keep in mind that reality shows like this are relatively inexpensive to produce. This is a moneymaker (pun intended) for them. Big money. I hope the cast had good agents when they signed up.

Can someone explain to me the reasoning behind the assertion that "the money train" will end if they actually discovered anything? Doesn't logic dictate that anyone who 'finds' Bigfoot would be immeasurably wealthy? They wouldn't need this show for an income stream, that's for sure. Books, interviews, speaking engagements, commercial endorsements (much more lucrative than they now enjoy) would fall out of the air for whoever makes this epoch making discovery.

I've heard this argument a lot, and it's never made any sense to me.
