Bigfoot on Indian Reservation

Bears DO have big feet.More legends being created thru fakery, to pull in the tourist dollars methinks .I'd like to see a ceremonial funeral , putting the BF mythological saga to rest in a nice,neat furry coffin somewhere in a forest, and be done with it..."Here lies a creature that never existed" would be an OK Tombstone heading !:D

I listened to the audio ... it sounds like a fox's usual winter calls. Add in some foggy landscape and the way sound carries oddly in cold air and you can imagine anything

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk1mAd77Hr4 has a good example of fox screaming. Some are higher pitched than this.

Mabye so, but how do we know it's not a bigfoot mimicking a fox? :rolleyes:

Excuse #433. <checks list>

My bad...

.
.
123. Bigfoot are too intelligent to be struck by a moving vehicle.
.
.
289. Bigfoot can't be tracked.
.
.
397. Skeptics haven't dis-proven every bigfoot report.
.
.
435. Bigfoot mimics other animals (owls, coyotes, elk, fox, etc.)
.
.
561. Bigfoot recognizes and avoids trail-cams.
.
.
7984. Bigfoot sometimes hide their footprints.
.

351,910. Bigfoot knows when you've entered his forest.

Sure. It's entirely possible. After all, Bigfoot has a spectacular history of mimicing non-existence.
 
How do you draw the line between the believable ones and the others?
IOW, how do you decide which ones are real?
 
I like to think of them as just stories and anecdotal evidence. I've learned not to decide for myself which ones are real and which ones aren't because the last time I did that I became a credulous proponent. Haha.
 
^ OS, do you make a distinction between stories and anecdotal evidence? Are they not the same thing? You seem to separate them in your comment. Was just curious what that separation might be based on.

Safer then to ask for corroborative evidence (biological evidence in this case) than to just take these anecdotes at face value. Wouldn't you say?

On the subject of such corroboration, there isn't any, is there?
 
Not that I know of. I heard Sykes got some samples from native reservations and they will likely be included somehow in his book and documentary which are due to come out this fall along with the promised paper. Solid physical evidence of Bigfoot seems to be just as elusive as creature itself. There can't possibly be many flesh and blood samples of these things even if they do exist.

@dmaker, I consider the stories to be weak evidence at best with a strong likelyhood of hoaxing. Nothing more than that. I no longer want to convince myself that a story is this or that when I don't know really know for sure. Everyone draws a line somewhere with these things and right now I feel pretty good with where I draw mine.
 
OK, so where do you draw yours?
When you read a report or a story you must form an opinion as to whether the story is a true representation and the event really occurred. What makes you say to yourself, "What a load of ****" vs. "Hmmm, that sounds reasonable"?

The native Americans on this reservation in Oregon say their are hearing animal sounds that are unlike the animals they are familiar with. Other Indians say they ae hearing coyotes.

I personally go with the coyotes as bigfoot is supposed to be over eight feet tall weighing over 800 lbs.

Coyotes can make an astonishing variety of sounds. Also, lol at the leap from "I don't know what made that noise" to "It must have been a bigfoot". Then again, it could have been bigfoots (bigfeet?) imitating coyotes.:boggled:

Hardly any Amur tigers left yet they are poached regularly.

Sorry, on a quick glance I saw the words, ".....bigfoot mating coyotes"
That would certainly make for some strange noises!
 
I think we need to be careful when comparing different species of animals. While the Amur Tiger is a good case of an elusive animal that gets hunted on a regular basis, it's not what bigfooters say they're seeing. Enough bigfooters claimed to have seen something of great intelligence that one could expect that the monkey would have great intelligence. This is partly the reason why many scientists like Dr. Sykes are still open to the idea of Bigfoot even though they don't believe in it. Because as crazy as it is, there's always the possibility that's it's real somewhere even if it doesn't exist in many of the places that bigfooters claim they do.
