Guest wood4004 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 So now we're using live bait to attract BF? I'm okay with a Zagnut bar, but live bait, really? Rabbits are probably part of the BF diet due to reports of BF raiding hutches and the finding of remains apparently connected to natural predation, but neither of these situations is intentionally using rabbits for bait. This is why I believe that most researchers will never see a BF. Many have no respect for animals and are consequently not respected by BF. I understand where you are coming from, but when you are hunting something you need to lure it in. When we go fishing we use worms or other fish. The use of a food source to lure a target animal in is used daily by many hunters, scientists, and researchers. They were reproducing something that was reported to them as an incident. If a Squatch were to be lured in by this I feel it is appropriate. As for respecting animals, I did not see anywhere where this animal was harmed or in danger. In fact it got to sleep with Bobo Fey. Any researcher is going to employ any techniques they know to work. This is what I saw the FB team doing. I thought it was a very good episode and am glad to see the posts are starting to be more about content than the people on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammy Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I consider AP series on Bigfoot plain old TV entertainment, Just when you think you've got one in the area Oh commercial time then they move to a different location.Is it not a good idea to stay in the area if you here what you think are Bigfoot call's? Just my two cents worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bipedalist Posted June 21, 2011 BFF Patron Share Posted June 21, 2011 Well if they "catch" a BF on live TV, chances are the cameramen will have to put their cameras down while the backpack cameras/lighting/lightning rods will allow squatchy's friends easy access to the handle of sorts to pick off the researchers one at a time (like a five man lift with only four men, make that three men and a woman). To some extent they are scouting which is what they do. Future expeditions are always on the horizon remember. But yes plain old TV entertainment with a twist. What do you do if you catch up to an eavesdropper, trespasser or water buffalo.....takes some forethought for sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wudewasa Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 The whole rabbit thing I forgot....hope PETA reps didn't see that! The Finding Bigfoot team giving the bait a name was hilarious....or was that just Animal Planet's editing skills?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, the rabbit wasn't harmed, but it was obviously stressed. The way I look at it is, "would you want your dog or child to be locked in a cage and used as BF bait?"

Guest CaptainMorgan Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 r e l a x . . . it was a rabbit, not mans best friend or offspring. We aren't currently experiencing a rabbit shortage. Or a child shortage for that matter. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a child shortage for that matter. . That's exactly my point. A lot of people think it's "only a rabbit" so it's okay to sacrifice the unfortunate critter. The Earth, along with all it's plants and animals, needs to be respected, otherwise you're sending the wrong message to the BF. What do you think a BF is going to think of someone that doesn't care about the Earth or other animals? I think they'll avoid that type of person or act aggressively towards them. They're the boss of the woods and we're just guests that need to show respect in order to have any meaningful interaction with them. JMHO, but it's ultimately up to you what image you wish to portray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 So is it me or does anyone else think that, like the other BF shows, the researchers call it quits just when things are getting good? Like running inside a cabin when the rocks start coming in or heading for the road when the howl is coming from the hill just below them. Sounds to me it is time to sit down and wait it out.

Guest CaptainMorgan Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) Sending a message to BF? Do I look like an ambassador to you? If MM wants to feed them a rabbit he can feed them a rabbit, it's ONE rabbit on a whole world of rabbits. Seriously, sending the wrong message to an unproven and un documented creature that some humans dress up as woodland gods? If BF has a bad impression of humanity, it isn't because some well meaning human offered them a tasty morsel. Meaningful interaction? WHAT meaningful interaction, they elude us and rightfully so. How about a truce, they stop throwing stones at us and we stop feeding them and hurting their feelings? Are you concerned about eating an M&M in front of a fat kid? What kind of message would you be sending? This line of absurdity can go over forever. WHEW . . even reality TV is better than this. It's loosely based on reality. .

Ever take antibiotics? If so, why don't you respect bacteria? Do you inhale oxygen and convert it to carbon dioxide? Why don't you respect oxygen? Exactly what is the message you are sending?
