Sasfooty Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) I think a little dose of infrasound, aka, being zapped, is probably the reason for most retreats. It's an unforgettable experience. Edited February 7, 2012 by Sasfooty

Guest KentuckyApeman Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 I think a little dose of infrasound, aka, being zapped, is probably the reason for most retreats. It's an unforgettable experience. Could be, but does 'infrasound' correlate with what we call a '6th sense'? I've had various pets(specifically monitor lizards) who were very atuned to human focus. Meaning, as soon as you looked at them, they knew it. It seemed to set off an alarm in them.
Sasfooty Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 No, I don't think so. It's possible that a dog's more refined hearing allows him to sense tiny amounts of infrasound that we are unable to detect. I would think that if a dog is zapped once, he will appear to have that sixth sense the next time he realizes a BF is in the vicinity. But if it's never happened to him.....I don't know.
Whistler Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 You can probably lump dogs getting scared and running under the porch with humans feeling like being watch and the hair standing up on the back of their neck. If these creatures do in fact exist, they probably evolved in a very different way than we humans have. I'm sure their senses are much greater than ours are on every level. It's a very interesting subject..
Guest BFSleuth Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Smell may have something to do with this as well. I've read reports of dogs that would refuse to take to a trackway once they smelled it and would run back to the truck to climb back into their kennels. On the other hand some dogs will go after a BF and chase it, sometimes to their detriment. A couple of reports in the database point to this, like the raccoon hunters whose dogs chased after a BF in a field at night and one of the hunters was knocked over by the BF and the BF dropped a not yet dead deer. Or the raccoon hunters that apparently treed a BF for a short time before it ran off.
Guest BuzzardEater Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 I personally think BFs wear skins. They eat dogs, then wear the skin. Dogs consider this outre.
Guest Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 My guess would be that not all dogs are/would be scared of Bigfoot but it's more like how some dogs are scared of thunder and some are not even bothered. Some dogs if familiar with a scent may just not even be bothered with the animal and just ignore it, while if its new may react to it. I have seen several reports where the dog will go crazy but stand it's ground and other's will bolt. I think dog's have a very solid understand of bigfoot and their place in the world which to me means that they know, "You don't have to be faster than bigfoot to get away, you just need to be faster than your human"
Guest Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 15,000 years! Really? I have heard evidence for dogs being domesticated 30,000 years ago, and informed speculation that aboriginals had domesticated dogs when they arrived in Australia 40,000 to 50,000 years ago. Does anyone have anything better than Wiki to point to on this? Mike The oldest known dog burial is about 14,999 years ago in germany with an 11,000 year old site in Utah USA. This tells us that at least some dogs were maintaining relationships with humans that far back. It's suggested that dog domestication may have begun as long ago as 35,000 years ago. According to this site. http://archaeology.about.com/od/domestications/qt/dogs.htm http://bird.net.au/bird/index.php?title=Dingo This site says the dingo arrived in australia about 4000 years ago via traders from indonesia.
Guest Biggie Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 one of the hunters was knocked over by the BF and the BF dropped a not yet dead deer. Interesting. Do you remember if the hunter was injured at all?
Guest Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Yeah but that's like 245,000 dog years so that's plenty of time for their DNA to change.
JDL Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 The hunter wasn't injured. The deer was in bad shape (the bigfoot dropped it). It was actually an amusing report.
See-Te-Cah NC Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 JDL or BFSleuth, I'd love to read that report. Do you happen to know where it can be found?
Guest wudewasa Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Dog fossils hail back to over 30,000 years from multiple localities. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2011/08/110819-dogs-wolves-russia-domestication-animals-science-evolution/ http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0305440308002380 While the ancestors of Australian Aboriginals go back over 40,000 years, the dingo has only been on the continent for about 3500. http://www.columbia.edu/itc/cerc/danoff-burg/invasion_bio/inv_spp_summ/Canis_lupus_dingo.htm
