Latest Bigfoot "evidence"

[The Shrike]

The best trackway I've found and followed did not travel on game trails and the movements were odd and random. They indicated some sort of searching behavior. Up hill , down hill, zig zagging from one tree to another then nothing. They lost me after about 1.5 to 2 miles.

(Bolding mine)
Okay Chris, your use of best implies that you've found at least two other trackways. How many total have you found and about how many prints are we talking about?

If going uphill and downhill off established trails in the Kentucky woods, then I'm assuming that you followed this alleged trail through leaf litter. How did you determine that you were following the trail of a sasquatch as opposed to a human, a bear, or a gray fox? For that matter, how can we have any confidence that there was a trail at all, given your remarkable susceptibility to pareidolia? Unless there's a substrate that takes prints well, tracking gets pretty dicey pretty quickly.

At least 1.5 miles, interacting with trees in some way, and not a single bigfooty hair left behind for you to collect?

I think I know how they did it now, I believe they tapped the tree.

Can you please clarify what you mean by tapped here?

My recollection is that Chris claimed that his family was in one of the HD videos, so he could not show the video. That led to requests for just a single still picture from the video.

So there is a "family group" in the picture, just not of Bigfeet?

To make it clear, I am in no way comparing Chris's family to Bigfoot. I am certain that his family is very attractive and fully human.

To add to what Correa said, there is a special orifice that some bigfoots have. They can shoot a special type of petroleum jelly with a slightly reduced viscosity that always lands on the lenses of cameras trying to photograph them. This, by and large, is what causes most of the blurry pictures.

Kentucky Jelly ?

I was just pointing out his original excuse for why he could not show one of his close up HD videos of bigfoot.

He apparently took his family to a place where he needed to pack large to protect them from bigfoot. Or something.

I understand completely. You were not misunderstood, and I wanted to be certain that I was not misunderstood.

My "WAG" about food gathering is based on things like stripped fruit trees and other things, so there is some basis.
Chris B.

Certainly they do, but where? Do you know? Do they leave floaters in the river? Do they bury it like cats in a litter box? I've not found any though I think I know what to look for based on a good description from the older gentleman in Logan county KY. Chris B.

If footie stripped an entire apple tree in one night, I recommend looking somewhere near the apple tree. How many apples can footie eat at one sitting? Or...maybe they stash the apples like the Minnesota footies stash corn! I know, they use the apples to make apple jelly, they get tired of Kentucky Jelly. (KY)

Just a little math problem: If Bigfoot takes 41" steps, how many steps does he take for each mile he wanders around looking for pine bark and such?
answer: over 1500. per mile. per bigfoot. If footie walks ONLY 1 mile each day, he would take over 500,000 steps a year. Remember, according to Gimlin (who you believe to be telling the truth) Bigfoot prints go deeper than horse prints. Central Kentucky should be covered up with footie prints if you have a family group wandering around.

What you're doing is dismissing the entire premise of Bigfoot instead of trying to work out where to find their scat. I'll admit it's much easier and requires less thought to go your route. But the problem is I know the animals do exist, therefore they must leave scat somewhere.

I'm not "making excuses for Bigfoot" by saying I don't know where they leave their scat. I'm admitting I don't know where they leave it and I haven't found any yet. Simply because I've not found any yet doesn't mean they don't exist. It means they're doing something different from the other animals in the forest and the job is figuring out what that is. Chris B.

What you're doing is dismissing the entire premise of Star Wars instead of trying to figure out how to make a light saber. What you're doing is dismissing the entire premise of ghosts instead of trying to figure out where they sleep. What you're doing is dismissing the entire premise of trolls instead of trying to figure out how they ever got the bridges gig.

What you're doing is dismissing the entire premise of common sense instead of trying to figure out why everyone intelligent is against you.

It's all becoming a trifle incoherent. A self imposed exile may occur followed by a later resurgence, if the evidence is anything to go by.

You really need to come up with some better insults for Bigfooters. The "BLAARGER" label is laughable .

Victim-playing. By that, I mean acting.

Other alternate reality gamers do not take offense to the term, nor do other role-playing gamers.

Nor is it intended as an insult by us. We are applying science. The science tells us that you are game-playing.

Since this alternate reality game is perpetual, the admission to it being a game cannot be made. So logic dictates expressing outrage and contempt at being identified as a gamer.

We do appreciate the living laboratory. It is an interesting study. We do not look down upon our study creature. I am no better man than you.

My ex-girlfriend had the tiger pics! Nobody called me on that, other than her age at the time, lol (28). But they are relevant for how scared we're supposed to be of potentially deadly animals.

Tolls mentioned his encounter with elephants. Another good example. In 1967 before Yellowstone Park started issuing citations for feeding the bears we bought marshmallows and waited in line with the other cars doing the same thing: rolled down our windows and let them stick their snouts in the car to feed them by hand. On both sides of the car. We were giggling and laughing, not frozen in shock.

 

[HarryHenderson]

No, it's a working theory. Meaning I don't have it all figured out as of yet. I'm working on it. I don't know "where" they're going or "where" they're coming from. I'm trying to find that stuff out. Any ideas at this point are only theories and are unproven. I think the "why" is food related but again that's just a theory.

The only way I could gather the "where to where from" info would be to catch one, put a tracker on it and study/observe its movements over time. I'm not at the point at which I could do that yet...

Not at that point yet huh? So what do you know? I mean beyond any insipid semantic jive. Literally everything there is to know is still an unknown, apparently. Therefore, Bigfoot?

Gaming was also proven by the response to questioning the "migration" assertion.

The answer for a gamer is to say "I changed my mind": to evade the question and divert into twaddle about "ranging".

A believer would be happy to say that previously the migration was thought to be from area X to area Y, and what the reason was. A believer would be able to explain what evidence caused them to change their belief.

 

[Howie Felterbush]

I do too, although she is a bit hairy. But she is beautiful, rich, owns a house, yacht, and helicopter, and adores me. She also buries her scat so that she doesn't take up time in the bathroom,, leaves no hair in the drain, and for some reason is very difficult to photograph clearly. I do have one amazing photo of her, but for a variety of reasons I am not going to make it available to anyone else until I am done with it. I also have some spit that I think might be hers, but I don't want to discuss it further.

She sounds like a keeper.

Does she have a sister?

I'm taking a wild ass guess her and saying they leave their scat the same place the bears do, in the woods.

(or was that the pope?)

That is an utterly pathetic excuse; Chris, I would think, would know that their exists many video and photo software programs that allow you to make indistinct, fuzzy etc., parts of video and photos that you want to hide from people.

These guys have the facts so twisted up that what you're looking at now can best be described as a pretzel.

Can you please clarify what you mean by tapped here?

5 trackways at last count. Some containing multiple size prints. I found the trackway of the family group I videoed, it was the best one I mentioned previously.

So to your bolded above, am I? Apparently those blobby things in the video made tracks. As to how I knew I was following Bigfoot tracks and not the others you mention, I know what they look like. (of course even though you asked I know you don't believe that) Was there leaf litter? certainly, most of the way. There were a few spots that were real gems though. Remember I had said before sometimes they do tend to step in mud even if by accident, it happens.

I can track. (again I know you won't believe this but it's a fact) I've been doing it since I was a kid in Cumberland County KY. Taught by my Grandfather. The leaf litter doesn't present much of a challenge really. The more individuals you are tracking, the easier it is to keep a trail. You only need stop every now and then to brush the leaf litter aside, you don't have to stay on your hands and knees the entire time. Their trail was more difficult to follow though because of the odd movements. It meant spending more time on the ground than would normally be required. If anything it was hilarious. I suppose they were looking for something from one tree to the next? Either that or they're the most paranoid species that ever lived if they need tree cover every 10 feet or so when walking.

Yep, they were moving from one tree to the next regularly the entire time. I didn't find a single hair. Evidently they didn't brush up against them, that's another reason I think they were likely searching for something.

Sorry, I used a local term "tapping the tree" is used by Raccoon hunters here to describe a situation which the Raccoon is chased up a tree then jumps across or climbs over to the next tree and comes back down from there. Leaving the dogs barking up the wrong tree as his trail effectively ends at that one but begins again from another tree next door, or even a few trees over if he's particularly wise. Chris B.

How do you propose 6 to 9-ft, 600-lb apes jump from tree to tree (thanks for this hilarious image) without brushing up against them?

LOL, I thought that too. That many apples is gonna give somebody the runs or at least a cramp to go. But there was no scat in the area.

Prints will go differing depths based on the soil conditions and type. The tobacco patch trackway was easily 2 inches deep, yet when the trackway exited into a pasture field, hardly an indention marked the ground. The grass was crushed but the tracks were probably not deep enough to register for casting in the untilled soil of the pasture. Chris B.

I don't think they'd have to jump. This is where some knowledge of tree riding would help you understand how that would work.

I realize not everyone was raised as I was here in KY so I will explain how it works. Please don't take this the wrong way I mean no disrespect. I'm betting you honestly don't know and there's nothing wrong with that.

For entertainment as a kid, my friends and I would find a tree about 3 to 4 inches in diameter (or larger depending on your weight). Usually we preferred cedars as they were the most flexible or at least more flexible than the small hardwood trees like oak, poplar etc and the cedars were easier to climb.

Anyway, the fun is to climb the tree to a height of usually 12 to 15 feet and then lean over. Our weight (when thrown off center) would effectively ride the tree over gently to the ground. When your feet touch the ground you let go of the tree. The fun was in seeing who could climb the highest and hence take the longest ride to the ground. I guess 20 feet or just over was probably the record. Chris B.
