Wingman1 Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Thanks for sharing your experiences LCB, they are much appreciated! I wouldn't worry too much about the skeptical views of some of the folks on this site. That is going to happen no matter what! It is actually a good thing and skeptical opinion, and it helps to keep the process in check and weed out the out of the ball park stories that get reported and strain just about every sense of credulity. As for your experiences, I definitely think you have got something going on there that is BF related activity! The honesty in your reports is commendable, and your keen sense for picking out other explainable activity that would possibly explain your experiences is first rate! I would keep your eyes and ears open at all times when out and about on your property, and try not to be so conspicuous when doing so, and you might just get the answers to your questions sooner that expected. I would try to think way outside of the box during your searches, and be extremely creative in your methods and I say this because most of the methods that are in use today do not seem to be providing the desired effect! Keep it up and good luck to you!
Guest DWA Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 In a world where no one's looking for bigfoot I'm grateful for the ones who are. The evidence has me where I want to be on this; but without the extreme curiosity of the people whose world has been jangled by direct experience I might never find out for sure.
coffee2go Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Well said Wingman1. I agree LCB, things seem to be very late this year. I also saw a mother with twin fawns this weekend and they seemed a lot smaller than previous years for late July.
Terry Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 There are always late births every year. Lots of those late youngsters are a food source for predators. Nature ensures all prey species aren't vigorous, strong and healthy. If they were it would be too hard on the predators. Regarding your unknown sounds. Keep in mind that at this time of year there are young coyotes, etc. that haven't got their mature voice yet. There calling can sound strange. A good example is a young rooster trying to crow for the first time. It sounds weird and nothing like a real rooster crow. Keep up the good work! t.
Guest Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 No Terry, nature does nothing of the sort. Variations occur through chance and get weeded out or selected for reproduction according to their utility to the individual. If a prey species gets better at escaping its predators, the predators either adapt by getting better at catching them or they die off. If the predators die off then the prey species is put into a new bind of overpopulation. The individuals become weaker from starvation and disease and new predators arrive on the scene and take advantage of them. Births can vary in many species quite widely. Some birth times are more advantageous than others and a doe's first pregnancy will be more likely to be ill-timed than an older doe's. If the local climate was to change then individuals with a different birth timing may have an advantage over those with the normal one. This is also not an intended turnout but merely a consequence of the relatively random nature of variation amid the more cruel selective process of the environment.
Lake County Bigfooot Posted July 30, 2014 Author Posted July 30, 2014 Terry, apparently the coyotes around here have grown hands and are communicating with tree banging. I realize that births vary and my suggestion that the fawn was a late birth might be mislead I agree. I guess the point I was making was that things were behind this year in general due to the late winter, and the cold spring and cold early summer. Maybe the deer are adjusting to a later rut due to the extremes. The coyote pack was definitely not reorganized till later in July this year, which I think was a result of being forced to extreme survival of the fittest conditions last winter. I will keep you posted with recordings throughout the rest of the year, Lord willing as I am dealing with some health issues at the present time.
Guest lightheart Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Be well my friend. I agree that the late spring has affected the behavior of the wildlife and their migrations even here in FL.
LeafTalker Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 What lightheart said.... Sending good thoughts to you, LCBF.
Guest Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Not necessarily, Crowlogic. Bigfoots in an area that becomes suburbanized or urbanized may not wish to leave. There are plenty of people like that. A bigfoot could feed itself on garbage and gardens. I have a pear tree from which I seldom get a pear. I'm not urban but outlying suburban and I hear my more urban neighbors complain about deer. I can imagine a few occasional bigfoots digging in dumpsters and garbage cans. I also have something rummaging through my garage (not garbage). This is where I feed the feral cats on my street. This was never a problem until recently. Something picks up the bowls and moves them around and turns them upside down. I call this the "goblin problem" but it's probably just raccoons. Stories can come from such humble beginnings.

Lake County Bigfooot Posted August 3, 2014 Author Posted August 3, 2014 Recent recording still have nothing suspect, today I must go in to have a CT scan, possibly facing the big "C" if you know what I mean.. I will update that situation as best I can. I currently do not think there is any activity occurring in my area. My thoughts lead to the notion of very few individuals who travel about only visiting certain areas during certain years. It may not be any type of pattern at all, simply mere chance. Though I do attest to the fact of them using semi- suburban areas.
Guest Suesquach Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 LCB, wishing you prayers and good news on your health scare.

Though I do attest to the fact of them using semi- suburban areas. It could be very similar to the fluctuating coyote population in our area. When the food source (rabbits and small pets) is plentiful we see them very frequently around our suburban neighborhood. They move in for a few months and soon the rabbit population is way down and a few small pets are missing. Then the sightings slow down considerably and we hear about neighboring suburbs experiencing coyote problems. Could be the same with bigfoot moving from place to place. I would think this would be more common when the area they temporarily inhabit is small compared to a large national forest. Wishing you only good news on your test today LCB.
