WSA Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 As good a theory as any WesT, until a better one comes along. Hominids and apes are not unique in that regard, and there is nothing extraordinary about such a theory, as I'm sure you realize. We as a species, and other closely related species, are fiercely protective of our food resources, hunting territories and sanctuaries where our young can be attended to and protected. Most every war in human history has been waged over disputed claims to limited resources. Native Americans fought constantly over the disputed boundaries of hunting and gathering lands, as did most other native populations except the most fortunate ones who had bounty and limited competition. Sasquatch would be no different, I feel certain. The accounts of hunters who have been chased or escorted out of the woods are a strong indication they aren't.
georgerm Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 My intent is not to come to your thread and question or belittle someone's time and effort on BF research. Seems like we all have a need to know. The posted video is about 12 minutes and shows some interesting structures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULREq9aGgPs
WSA Posted January 14, 2016 Author Posted January 14, 2016 George...thanks very much for posting that. Some interesting stuff in there. In general too, thanks for helping.
Lake County Bigfooot Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Has anyone seen an area where stuff was cleared out, and a depression of sorts, it looks like an ambush area. When I had my encounters in 2013-2014 I had a tree go down adjacent to this spot, which was along a tree line on the edge of the marsh. It just looked different from it's surroundings, and intentional. Also when I have recorded wood knocking it seems to be coming from that same area. Whoops I heard were moving along the deer trail in that same area as well. I have heard something take off from that spot and move quickly through the marsh. A lot of interesting stuff, but nothing conclusive, and I have looked for hair and prints, none. On Finding Bigfoot Moneymaker and Barackman were talking about how adult sasquatch drop off their young in marsh or swamp areas while they leave for hunting. They say that the young are left in areas with lots of frogs, maybe they hone their own hunting skills as juveniles in such places. This would explain why I had the juvenile going off whooping after some fireworks late on the 4rth of July. The parents might not have been present to stop it, later that month I heard the juvenile again, this time the parent shut it up and made it move into heavier cover. It was surreal to hear them conversing, and it will forever be etched in my mind. I know what I heard was a primate, and humans could not possibly imitate the range and clarity of what I heard. Cannot quit trying to prove what I heard. Edited January 14, 2016 by Lake County Bigfooot

Although my approach may seem a bit different, think of it like I zoomed out as opposed to zooming in. It's not a shame on my greenhorn part for not taking the standard research (look for proof) approach. If I had, I would have probably missed the clues that were hiding in plain sight. My focus was on purpose only and that in itself was a challenge to determine. Oh, your input is always welcome George and no offense was taken. That was just me standing my ground.

georgerm Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 The video that I posted has me wondering now about some of the structures. The ones with the branches tied together with vine strings seems odd. Has anyone seen or heard of this? I hope the good doctor was not pranked by someone coming to his research site. The little rock pile with the foot long vertical branch is questionable. The picture below is my friend Red next to a possible BF blind that we found near Reedsport, Oregon. I need to go back and look for hair to conclude it was built by bigfoot. It won't shed rain. If for a human, the top is too jagged to allow a large tarp to lay over nicely. All four pictures are posted along with discussion here: http://bigfootforums.com/index.php/topic/49383-possible-bigfoot-log-shelter-found/ happy research'en ................... pack food and toys .............. not guns I guess?
WSA Posted January 15, 2016 Author Posted January 15, 2016 George, I remember that thread, but I don't think I ever looked at this, which was linked in it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncybFVyj9wk&feature=youtu.be
Guest WesT Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 WSA, the first 20 seconds of that video showed me everything I needed to know. The bedding structure was just the icing on the cake. I would venture a guess and say there was an ambush site nearby. Without being there myself, to establish a few needed facts, I 'd still give it a high degree of probability they stumbled upon a true mystery. In the second video they posted there's a "digging stick" they claim was used to widen the entrance. It looks a lot like Hellbilly's pic he posted up thread. I would venture a guess and say we're looking at broken "neck wringers" in both cases, which are then recycled for other purposes. For those new to the thread, a "neck wringer" is a hypothesized primitive hunting tool used to pin the prey's head to the ground. George, I have seen something similar to vines being used as a fastening agent. Unfortunately the source is a known hoaxer. I also agree that the stick in the rock pile was rather questionable. I didn't see any sign either.
JKH Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Just dropping in to mention that I had a funny wood incident awhile back. I posted about it in the telepathy thread asking Sas about it, because I wanted to see if they'd return the item, which they have not. Anyway, it was a smaller piece of wood that was carved into a double-ended spear, about a foot or so long. It wasn't made with them in mind, but it seems they took a liking to it. It had been placed up high in such a place that would require hands to move it, and it vanished one night. Maybe they can appreciated a good digging tool.

WSA Posted February 11, 2016 Author Posted February 11, 2016 I have my doubts about this one, but offer it up for consideration anyway: http://www.bfro.net/gdb/show_report.asp?id=49512 The construction looks a little too symmetrical, and the somewhat uniform thickness of the timbers raises questions for me. The road "blockage"? More likely to keep ATV's/4-wheelers off the property is what it looks like to me.
Guest WesT Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Nice catch. Wish I had a spare week to go there and look it over real good. I'm not convinced, but it did make me pause because a lot of things look familiar to me. I'll have a look at Tirademan's Massachusetts historical archives in the premium section also. Just in case.
Guest Cryptic Megafauna Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Here is my wood structure. I don't think our buddy made it, however.
BigTreeWalker Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Here's an interesting twist break we saw yesterday. It is an older one. This area has a history of audios, whistles, moans, wood knocks, tracks and feeding evidence. The twisted tree was about 4" in dia. It's hard to tell whether the leaning tree kept it from falling where it would have naturally or if the leaning tree is the result of this twist break. To get where it is, it would have had to slide down the leaning tree, taking all the branches on that side with it, but the branches are still there. The tree should have fallen between the two larger trees. Just another puzzler.
