Latest Bigfoot "evidence"

[ChrisBFRPKY]

My reference to your ignorance was descriptive, and I already shared my source with you. Here it is again: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/.

This is just a repository of what a relatively small percentage of birders use - completely voluntarily - to share their sightings with the world. There are multiple other programs that get birders in the field that likely overlap your public use area:
Christmas Bird Counts (annually since 1900)
Breeding Bird Survey (annually since 1966)
Kentucky Breeding Bird Atlas (1985–1991 - repeated scouring of "blocks" to maximize the number of breeding species confirmed during 5–6 years of sampling).

None of these include surveys for birds run by the public agency for their specific purposes. They do annual monitoring for breeding birds at points well-dispersed, and I'm pretty sure they're using one of my protocols. (I wrote a review for that agency's bird monitoring program several years ago.)

All of that ^ represents a minority proportion of the time and effort spent by people in your study area, just for birds. Now add in the rocks, soils, trees, fish, amphibians, mollusks, etc. to get an even better idea of how well studied the area is.

Good link thanks. I'll admit I am a little disappointed that KY ranks #43 out of #51 total in the US for birds. 388 species and 50,242 checklists. I did manage to bumble around the site and view the Edmonson county KY checklists from present date back to March 2013. It's exactly as I had said previously. If you'll view the checklists, you'll see most are mapped/recorded from the parking lot at the main entrance, the rest are recorded from the highway.

Your evidence sank your argument.

So there's just the one specific hillside where the bigfoots hang out to do their primatey things? Don't you think their home range would be large enough to include the "halfway" point along the trail?

Also, how do you know that the ghost hunters don't go other places as well? You've already demonstrated profound ignorance regarding where birders go.

Not at all, the hillside is simply on the way to my destination. I do think the halfway point would be included in their home range. I've noticed most ghost hunters are really into strange sounds. This area is known for those.


Hmm, "profound ignorance regarding where birders go".......you'll need to check out your own link for Edmonson county KY and reevaluate your position. Just for fun, I'll let you in on something. I know some of those folks personally and have worked with some of them professionally.
Small World huh. Chris B.

Embellishments to your story about alleged knowledge of bird watchers. That's a shock.

 

[Garrette]

To the edit: Yes, opening day of deer season limited our areas to that one only. I think perhaps you are under a false impression of the deer hunting here. If you are relying on the info from the Edmonson county area and the Nolin area public hunting areas as being the only places guys hunt, that is misleading. Deer hunters also hunt private land and I'm not kidding when I say they're everywhere on opening day especially. If I remember correctly cervelo reported here he had met some guys at their deer hunting camp during his camp out.
Chris B.

Excellent! I will concede the point. So the hunters are numerous, active, and trigger-happy enough to make it dangerous for humans to wander the area, but they are not numerous, active, or trigger-happy enough to find trace of, catch sight of, or capture a Bigfoot.

Crazy, crazy world out there.

The link was provided, judge for yourself. Learning is fun. It wasn't really shocking to see those guys listed on Shrike's birder site, more of a pleasant surprise and maybe a bit ironic.

Many Bigfoot sighting reports are made by hunters and fishermen.

Any shot by hunters?

Hooked up (need a disc drag for footie) by fisherman?

Both groups like to tell stories so I won't be having any of those. So what have these outdoor types brought home, and where?

But only of the sort in which hunters -- people practiced in tracking, finding footprints and scat -- can find no trace, right?

Sure. Whatever you say.

I can't say as to the accuracy of the reports, just that they occur.

I think some also report tracks found. I'm only aware of one guy that found possible scat over in Logan county. Chris B.

 

[carlitos]

Possible scat. Lol.

Yes, campfire stories have been told since there have been campfires. As far as accuracy, well, no footie so far.

15,000 years, so far.

Stories = as many as can be made up.

Footie = 0.

There we go, then.

Yes, if we only had ways to identify such things.

Oh, don't be silly! They are shot all the time. The hunters just keep it quiet so they don't risk homicide or assault charges. If the Bigfoot is killed in the shooting, then the hunter gets together 6 or so men to help carry the corpse to, um, somewhere. If the shooting just results in a non- fatal injury the Bigfoot goes to the local ER. Where the visit is hushed up to avoid an influx of tourism. If Chaney does the shooting, the Bigfoot just apologizes to him.

That, and a 12 weight with 0X tippet.

Better kill it when you land it, too, because catch and release will be...problematic.

Middens? Orts? Bedding dens? Young? Unmakings? Curées? Corpses?

[captain koolaid]

Those are some scary woods. Ghost hunters and bigfoot hunters all in the same place! ...

You think that's scary? All you guys are missing the terrifying truth... Ghost Bigfoot. Think about it.

Chris, I implore you... don't go back. I fear for your life. You could end up possessed, eaten, dead, or worse... you could become a weremanfoot.
