Fishermen seem to have submitted the highest number of sightings. However there are some hunter reports as having a sighting from their deer stands. And of course the occasional raccoon hunter at night. The latter seems to be a dying art here locally. Chris B.

As a fisherman, I can confidently state that you shouldn't believe anything a fisherman says.

Again, I agree. Birders would make excellent Bigfooters. You just have to get the majority to where the Bigfoots frequent more often. Chris B.

Already dealt with by someone else, but it is worth emphasizing that this is the height of silliness. Not only does it employ the most marvelous form of begging the question -- after all, if you know "where the Bigfoots frequent more often," then you have evidence of it. You don't have it, so you don't know it. In fact, you know quite the opposite, that there are no Bigfoots.

Incorrect assertion. Chris B.

Nope. Spot on. But as I have said before, it's the wind-up that's fun for you. No matter; the interaction can be fun for us, too, especially when it makes it so spectacularly obvious to the outside observer what you're doing.
 
Harry's spot-on analysis notwithstanding . . .

I wasn't aware the compiled pic you presented was listed on the site.

It's not. You need to know how to navigate the site to generate such maps. In this case, I ran a query on all checklists in the county that included Carolina Chickadee. [Waitaminute - how could I possibly know that if my information comes only from what's available online?!] Note that this means of course that are likely more checklists for the area not listed because some checklists will not have included Carolina Chickadee.

"I wasn't aware" is what ignorant means.

ChrisBFRPKY said:
You still seem unaware that the marked areas on your map pic are roads.....

Why do you say that? I agree that most of the mapped points are on roads and trails, and have not indicated otherwise.

ChrisBFRPKY said:
Yes, I've already conceded that some birders may tend to get off the beaten path. I've not met any in that area though.

That's the whole point. What YOU observe is an infinitesimal fraction of what is observed.

ChrisBFRPKY said:
And, you're mistaken. That's all there is to it.

I have no problem admitting mistakes - I just did so in very public way on this forum yesterday afternoon. If you would be so kind as to let me know what you think I'm mistaken about, that'd be great.

Translation: the bigfoots of Edmonson County, KY live forever on the hillside where I pretended to find them, and only people who go there 3 days a week like I will do will be able to find them (but only if they possess my superhuman powers for noticing things).
 
When I go hiking in the woods, sometimes I go off the marked trails to look for Amphibians/Snakes. I am a Herper it is what I do.

I have only run into three other kinds of people in Michigan's vast state forests, off the trails. (During non-deer season)

*Birders (Usually with expensive cameras, and a lens about 3 feet long)
*Fishermen (Usually fly fishermen busting over to a small brook trout secret place)
*Small game hunters (Usually with dogs, BTW the dogs apparently are completely unafraid of any Bigfoots)

I have never run into a Bigfooter off the trail. I have run into Bigfooters, in local diners and McDonalds, asking bewildered locals if they've seen anything like Bigfoot. I'll bet that is where they find most of their 'evidence'. Certainly not while in the woods.

Whether it's a brookie spot, or a a good popple and alder stand for grouse or timberdoodles, it would piss you off to no end to bust your ass to get there only to find some mope woodknocking, whooping (or whopping) and generally making silly.

Don't forget morel hunters, huckleberry pickers (love me some huckleberries!), wildflower enthusiasts, etc. The list is long, but the BLAARGing is deep.
 
Again, it is very telling that the more accurately one attempts to see and document an unknown, the less it looks like Bigfoot. The fact is very significant that Bigfoot, after all these years of people looking for him, has only been observed as shadowy glimpses at long range, shapes hurriedly seen through leaves or which quickly disappear around the bend in the trail, noises, vague entities in the dark, or blurred photos of who-knows-what. This reciprocal relationship been the reliability of the observation vs. the ability to detect a Bigfoot explains everything to me.

OK, I'll agree, as long as I get credit for making the Cheese Shop connection 2 days earlier, at BFF.

I'll grant you partial credit, but seriously, 2 days earlier? Pretty sure I made the cheese shop comparison over there on the BFF 1.0 a number of years ago.

I made a similar bigfoot comparison right here on the JREF/ISF in 2009, and equated the skit with finding paranormal evidence here in May of 2013.

The comparisons between Monty Python and bigfootery are almost limitless. :D
