norseman Posted March 15, 2013 Admin Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) DEATH would be my biggest fear, followed by being maimed, mentally incapacitated, or held as a love slave in a remote valley. However, since nothing has been proven (existence or attacks), I'm not afraid of visiting areas of reported sightings. Edited March 17, 2013 by WV FOOTER Remove Objectionable Material
WRabbit Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Okay, I admit it...... Ignore the love slave comment. Edit: I just noticed the similarities of our mugshot avatars, This leads me to believe we might have been separated at birth (or shortly before).

Guest OntarioSquatch Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I guess if you`re thinking about Bigfoot 24/7, it'll eventually become your biggest fear while out in the woods. Heck, what's a bear or mountain lion?
LeafTalker Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 If you make friends with a Bigfoot person, you'll never worry about bears or mountain lions again. At least, not while you're visiting your BF friend.
Guest Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I can't find the link or report number, but you may get hit by flying golden retrievers. Allegedly a retired gentleman was walking through the woods near his home with his golden retriever, when the dog saw or smelled something and took off through the woods after whatever it was. The man broke through the underbrush where the dog had 'treed' or otherwise caused the creature to stop, cant remember if there was an obstacle of some sort, but the creature had stopped. The dog came sailing past him like a major league fast ball supposedly, killing the dog I think from the blow when it hit whatever it hit and terrifying the man, who I think said he had a shotgun with bird shot loaded, I think he threw the gun down and ran away. I think he said the creature was nine feet tall and black and looked really mad. I have tried to find this report but after reading it once cant find it again. Whether it is a true story I can not say, but apparently the man was a respected level headed older man who appeared genuinely sad for the death of his dog. And refused to go into the forest again. If one kills my dog, I will hunt it down and execute it.
Guest Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) yeah there are some interesting dog stories! The worst account for me though is the logger kidnapped and discovered days later in a pit with his feet and palms licked to raw to contain him by a female Sasquatch...he dies shortly after rescue... I can't recall where I read it....or the name of the guy....but that is the only BF account that troubles me very deeply..if true... the rest seem to be normal reactions to immediate threat...and that BFs seem to retreat if given the opportunity... just like most humans do...or any animal interested in survival and staying uninjured... my favorite story is the 4yr old in the 80's near Seattle, who when found said a hairy man sat with him in the night to keep him safe. ahhh We are animals, BF are animals and we can draw on much of our understanding or our most natural responses to anticipate or predict BFs to some degree....along with our witness record. I prefer close proximity to a BF than a bear....b/c it seemed to me the BFs thought more deeply, more like me, and had a restraint that other animals/bears don't seem to..... even knowing that bears, or black bears anyway, are predicatively non-aggressive too.....in the right situations....and not in certain ones too...... so those measures can also be applied to BFs with some confidence...but I felt I could add one more level of discernment by BFs..and in my case, they weren't murders, cannibals, or kidnappers (but it did take many, many visits to get there and even then I did apply reasonable safety measures)... and I have to agree with Leaf Talker...if a BF is shadowing you as an apparent neutral entity you don't have to worry about any beasts....cougar or bear...although you may be at risk from high speed deer headed your way for safety!

Guest Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I'd be most afraid of our mountain lion population. They will nothing short of eat you.

Guest DWA Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 I think the thing I wonder about the most is, why they are always compared to apes, instead of humans, because they seem more human to me than anything else. Morphology and behavior, as compiled through thousands of reports, seem to strongly suggest an ape. Most assessments of "human" are from witnesses who don't have much experience with apes in the wild.
Guest Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) Agreed. Edited March 18, 2013 by BigGinger To remove quoted post directly above
Guest zenmonkey Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 I would say the biggest threat from bigfooting would be divorce ... . Lol yep

Most assessments of "human" are from witnesses who don't have much experience with apes in the wild. With all due respect, most assessments of "ape" also come from witnesses who don't have much experience with apes in the wild. I have to ask the obvious question: how many people in the US and Canada do you suggest have much experience with apes in the wild? MIB Edited March 18, 2013 by MIB
BobbyO Posted March 18, 2013 SSR Team Posted March 18, 2013 The thing is though MIB, objective reporting of specific behaviours that are grouped together IE in a database showing possible " ape " behaviour doesn't necessarily need have " ape " experts anywhere. However, if these things were just " apes " as in a meaning of non human ( although human are apes too of course ) one would have been bagged by now, undoubtedly. I'd be amazed if with the intelligence they clearly have being able to stay undetected to 99.9% of people for so long, they were just another animal like another kind of Gorilla for example. Gorilla's unfortunately show the intelligence of non human " apes " daily by ending up in cooking pots in central Africa.

I have to ask the obvious question: how many people in the US and Canada do you suggest have much experience with apes in the wild? MIB The assessments of "ape" that count are coming from scientists schooled in that area that are reviewing the accumulated evidence. That said, most of us have a decent idea what an ape looks like. People are describing more subtle things, however, in naive terms, that only collation and review by knowledgeable specialists are labeling 'ape.'
