PBeaton Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 gigantor, Fascinatin' report, nice find. Not to take anythin' away from it, it's just pretty basic. Pat... Chimps use sticks an rocks as weapons.Chimp fashioned a point/spear to hunt a galago(bush baby) hidin' in cavity of branch/stump. Rocks as tools.

NathanFooter Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I have a particularly interesting report from a guy who said he witnessed a sasquatch digging roots out of the ground with a forked end. I think the report is legit, I will review my records and elaborate further as I can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was posted on BFF 1.0 by member Bigfootie back in July 2005. https://bigfootforums.com/topic/19119-i-saw-wood-knocking/?tab=comments#comment-303107 Makes way more sense than using it as communication.

SWWASAS Posted November 26, 2018 BFF Patron Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) In my experience knocking is a warning rather than communication. That to me is tool use. Just like a bell, a drum, or hallowed out log in primitive peoples. Edited November 26, 2018 by SWWASAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon as I heard it I thought of sasquatch wood knockin', as her clap sounded like strikin' a tree with a bat or heavy stick, my guess do to the size an shape of her palms/hands. I still think "wood knocking" might be hand claps also witnessed in other great apes. http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_8027000/8027622.stm Pat...

Guest prob2236 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Any of you guys listen to the Wild thing podcast? What do you think so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiflier Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 It is done pretty well and it is informative. I think the newest episode is airing today: https://www.foxtopus.ink/wildthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dog Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 So what happened to the OP? Haven't seen them for over two weeks. Like I'm one to talk. The odd thing about his original posts as A boy from golden valley and his posts as Sticks and Stones is the verbiage and syntax. They seem like two different people posting. Just sayin.

hiflier Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 5 per day is so much better than the old one per day. I have enjoyed the change and it gives new members better latitude to express their interests earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWWASAS Posted November 27, 2018 BFF Patron Share Posted November 27, 2018 Got this picture from a friend. This cat was stalking his friends daughter over in Western Oregon. Look at the size of the thing. I need a bigger gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
