Great way at avoiding the question I asked you, that's twice you've done it now. You won't offer your opinion because if you say that you agree that a small island such as the UK couldn't possibly contain Bigfoot, and thus all of the stories are either lies or mistakes then that opens the USA Bigfoot sightings up to the same scrutiny.

My point is that it's not only very possible for everyone to be fabricating or mistaking their stories, it's very probable. In the case of the UK, no research needs to be undertaken. I'm 100% sure that we don't have Sasquatch roaming the moors tossing Cadburys Cream Eggs at weary hikers.

Well to be fair if you'll recall from my post, I did offer that the US state of Hawaii does not have any sightings of Bigfoot listed. Beyond that, I can't offer anything valid on the supposed UK Bigfoot because I've simply not done the work.

If Bigfoot is just a tall tale how do you account for the lack of Bigfoot sightings in Hawaii? Chris B.
 
You mean official Bigfoot sightings in Hawaii?
Because if you google : BIGFOOT HAWAII, you get some sightings.

It's just hard for me to trust someone who can repeatedly get close to a giant monkey, while carrying a big gun and a high definition video camera, and yet still can't show me the giant monkey or any evidence of the giant monkey.

Yet they expect me to accept the giant monkey as real.

No, you shouldn't accept Bigfoot is real until you see one for yourself. As I have said many times before, be skeptical. Chris B.
 
Be skeptical, Chris? Like you? Like how you are so very skeptical of the Daniel Boone incident, for example? Or is it that once you have seen bigfoot, then all the other bigfoot anecdotes become more believable?

No, I don't have an actual bio page. However, I can give you some general background.

I was born in Indiana. Both Terre Haute and Indianapolis compete for the title, "Crossroads of the Nation". What most people aren't aware of is that this term predates colonization and comes from the fact that several major bigfoot migration routes cross in the area. Several towns along the Wabash River have French names such as Vincennes, Terre Haute, and Lafayette since these were settled by French traders. When they got lonely out in the woods, they would knock trees to attract bigfoot for sexual exchanges. Unfortunately, the female bigfoot in the region had exceptional eagerness and endurance for mating. This led to the death of many French trappers and is probably the biggest reason why Indiana was not colonized by the French. This also was the origin of the cautionary saying, "Don't knock it until you've tried it." French traders did make money by selling hair brushes to bigfoot in exchange for mastodon. However, over-hunting led to the extinction of mastodon in Indiana and the remaining stocks were sold as bath brushes. As the region was colonized by non-French, the amorous bigfoot females became more of a problem. They were eventually captured, put on ships, and taken to Australia where they have had a similar devastating effect on the native Yowie population.

When I was younger it was very hard to get much of a Christmas tree because most of the good ones were eaten by bigfoot. Most years, we were lucky to have a branch to put the presents under. For the same reason, people preferred Cyprus mulch since pine bark mulch would be mostly gone in a few days. I did hunt for squirrels when I was younger. You really couldn't hunt for deer or turkeys because so many of these were killed and eaten by bigfoot. In fact, Turkey Run State Park gets its name from the fact that it was so common to see bigfoot chasing turkeys in the area. This led to several bills in the State legislature to declare bigfoot a nuisance but it was opposed by biologists because of critical the migration routes. Indiana began relocating bigfoot outside the state to places like Kentucky. However, bigfoot kept returning until it was realized that they were attracted by the scent of Pine-Sol which was popular cleaning product. This led to Pine-Sol being prohibited in areas along the border. Even so, in the spring and fall, large numbers of bigfoot would still enter the state on their way to other regions. Eventually, Indiana settled for a busing program to transport bigfoot across the state. Since then, deer and turkey populations have recovered but busing remains controversial.

This is very entertaining thank you. I have heard similarly entertaining stories in regards to why folks from Indiana are called "Hoosiers" "Who's your's" but I never considered those stories as having a chance of being accurate until now.

Of course I was skeptical of the Daniel Boone Yahoo story. That's why I did the work to investigate it.

I was skeptical about Bigfoot. That's why I did the work that led to a sighting. That's how it works, if you're skeptical, you investigate to find the answers. A firm policy of denial (though easier than investigation) doesn't answer a question with informed findings. Uninformed opinions carry little weight. Many here fail to understand this. Chris B.

You mean your parents did all the work and plopped you down in the middle of them? That's what your bio page says.

Then in 1980 his interest in the subject peaked when his family purchased and moved to a farm in rural KY that by chance happened to be on a migration/gathering path for the creatures.

I'm referring to the official sightings database, there are none. I'm sure you will find some articles written online that speculate about Bigfoot in Hawaii, legend comparisons etc, but no evidence of tracks or ongoing investigations.

Why do you need to make this about me? If you want to discuss Bio pages, I'll need to see yours as well. Chris B.

Bigfoot denialism is a sign of intelligence, understanding and wisdom. Those who are skeptical may still be in the investigation stages leading to denialism.

Bigfoot skepticism is an investigative journey. Bigfoot denialism is a state of wisdom.

It is, the exact same brand of wisdom that once had those practicing medicine scoffing at the idea of washing their hands before treating a patient or delivering a baby. "Germs, how ridiculous that anyone could conceive such a thing. That Pasteur must be a nut job"

Chris, Hawaii has the Menehune. It shows that Hawaiians also like to believe in bipedal wild primates that don't actually exist.

Concerning your declaration that there are no Bigfoot reports in any "official sightings database". Do you know what John Green or the BFRO would do if they got a good report from Hawaii? They would throw it in the garbage. That is why there are no "official reports" of Bigfoot in HI. The people who run the databases can make the data look any way that they want to. They are myth factories but you call them official databases.

My point being that you choose to come to the unlikely conclusion that Boone shot a bigfoot. That is not very skeptical. It is just an anecdote without any supporting evidence. Yet, you choose to put it front and center as an historical bigfoot sighting.

Germs and Pasteur are unrelated to the Bigfoot belief cult. That is another piece of deep wisdom I shall give to you.
 
Equating the germ theory of disease with bigfoot fantasy takes some big BLAARGing balls, you have to admit. Should garner kudos with any BFF lurkers for sure.
