Guest BFSleuth Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 The raccoon hunter story, where he was run over by a BF carrying a deer, and the BF dropped the deer: http://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=3385 This is one of my all time favorites. The injuries to the deer are very telling, massive internal bruising, broken bones, leg pulled out of its socket, etc. The behavior of the dogs in this report were more typical of what you would expect with aggressive hunting dogs. They apparently had no fear of the BF.
Guest BFSleuth Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Other interesting interactions between BF and dogs: http://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=231 .... the dog gets slammed http://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=28453 .... hunting dogs tuck tail and run http://www.bfro.net/gdb/show_report.asp?id=24776 .... dogs are friendly and go with a BF This runs the gammit....

Guest KentuckyApeman Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I think a little dose of infrasound, aka, being zapped, is probably the reason for most retreats. It's an unforgettable experience. Revisting your post it does have some real merit. My only issue is that there are accounts in which our canine friends back off long before any contact(or what we assume is contact). Hunting dogs will not track a BF scent. Or is there something in that scent that the dogs refuse to follow?
Guest Biggie Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 http://www.bfro.net/...port.asp?id=231 .... the dog gets slammed Said it got up and ran away with blood on it's mouth and rear. If it survived I bet it didn't attack another bf.
Guest HucksterFoot Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Hunting dogs will not track a BF scent. Or is there something in that scent that the dogs refuse to follow? Or there is no BF scent to begin with.
Guest tirademan Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Dogs ≠sasquatch Many, many, many, many, many reports of them not mixing well. I was surprised when Bobo took Monkey with them. Bigfoot repellent if you ask me. Maybe only one or two that mention them getting along, that I've found. tirademan
georgerm Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Anyone who has read about first hand sightings knows there are many reports in which the persons dog(family pet or other) is completely frightened when a BF is in the area. Now many of these canines are trained hunting dogs or very defensive family pets. They will charge a bear, moose, cougar or human intruder without hesitation. Yet they whimper and cower when a BF is nearby. So danger itself does not seem to be a factor. Is there another reason? Infrasound may be the cause.

Sasfooty Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Hunting dogs will not track a BF scent. Or is there something in that scent that the dogs refuse to follow? It's a possibility that the hunting dogs that refuse to follow a BF may have run into one in the past & still have a vivid memory of the infrasound experience.
Guest Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Guys, I merged this thread with one that already existed about dogs and bigfoot, where many of the same things have been discussed. Some of you may remember the old thread, and some who weren't members then will have the benefit of getting some more information. One good habit to get into, which I need to remember myself because I am guilty of not doing it enough myself, is to use the search function to see if a thread on the same topic already exists that you can bump to the top and reopen the conversation on in order to save bandwidth, rather than starting a new thread about the same thing. Btw, check out Scott McClean's stuff. He is a member here who has collected over 400 early newspaper accounts of BF, which also has accounts of dogs used to hunt them down or pursue them. His website is: http://www.mcclean.org/ There are some similar sources as well. While I have Scott's resources on my wish list, I have a book called "Historical Bigfoot" which is also a collection of similar articles going back into the late 1700's up through the early 1900's, and it contains numerous accounts of dogs being used to chase and pursue sasquatches/wildmen. It is available on Amazon.
dudeman Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Right! I have read a few reports where BF was seen and there was a dog or dogs at it's side. Not many reports like this, but there are a few. However, this seems to be the rare exception though. I found this interesting. Came across it the day I was watching the drunk monkey vids.

His website is: http://www.mcclean.org/ Thanks Surveyor, I'm trying to figure out how to post images "inline" in this new format so forgive me for any odd posts. Here are a few dog stories I could find quick, but know I have some others featuring gruesome death and fear. Also, don't forget the "911 What are you reporting?" Pretty clear cut from my point of view! http://www.bfro.net/...asounds/911.asp I've now got 1300 stories "Photo-chopped," and am slowly figuring out how to update my book...which would be 3 books big (but also available on CD). I've also set up a blog format using "tags" which would be much easier for researchers. Looking for "dog" stories for instance...all the stories mentioning dogs would be tagged dog. The hard part is doing 1300 posts...working on it. Lastly, I've been fighting advanced stage 4 prostate cancer for the last year and a half so have been slightly distracted...not complaining, but all you dudes out there, get your prostate (PSA) checked! I'm 49! tirademan (aka Scott McClean) http://s942.photobucket.com/albums/ad262/tirademan/Bigfoot%20and%20dogs/ Edited February 11, 2012 by tirademan

They apparently had no fear of the BF. I read thru this one. I think it's questionable that there was no mention of any footprints. The encounter happened in a cornfield, everyone was able to determine the injuries to the deer, even the game warden, but nobody saw any tracks that would have easily proven his encounter....... I think this one is a great story but it's in the fiction category IMO. Chris B. Edited February 11, 2012 by ChrisBFRPKY
MagniAesir Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Yeah but that's like 245,000 dog years so that's plenty of time for their DNA to change. They found that there was significant changes to the appearance and behaviour in foxes bred for fur in Russia in just a few generations. I will try to find a link to the story Here is a link http://cbsu.tc.cornell.edu/ccgr/behaviour/Index.htm Edited February 13, 2012 by MagniAesir
