Anyone know about the unreleased Midwest bigfoot video

If you check the thread, you will see the people I am referring to are elder Hoopa. Mayaka, we must take care not to carelessly derail thread topics as we are doing here and elsewhere. I will post in the native myths/traditions thread to allow us a venue to continue the discussion.
Because it is a highly unusual animal. Have you ever spent time out the wilderness? I have. When you spot an unusual animal, it's very exciting and disconcerting at the same time (is it friend or foe?). When you go to the national parks, they usually give you mini field guides about the local wildlife, which people use to *look* for animals.
Believe me, people report unusual animals.
And the wolverine was known to be rare because field researchers take surveys of all sorts of animals all the time. Rangers are out there all the time. They would know. Besides, if the animal were common, the motion cameras would find it all the time.
Few sightings usually means rare. Lots of sightings means not rare. There are lots of BF sightings, but not motion sensor pics.
Hmmm....

Are you sure the stories argue? Don't they just make the claim as if it were a fact?
If they do in fact argue, what is the substance of the argument?

Mayaka, please give me a PNW or Canadian report of Bigfoot that passes your criteria. Also if you could explain why it passes your criteria. I will have a report after that from Ohio, New York, Texas etc that is quite the same.
I actually have no idea what you're trying to say. Please use the Quote function. Just use square brackets to QUOTE and /QUOTE the sections or hit the Quote button to reply.
My point is simple. There is no proof of BF. Period. The only question is whether there is enough data to justify continued searches. As one indicator I offer that even animals believed to have gone extinct in an area (forget the right word) can accidentally be photographed despite only a few sightings reported.
BF, by contrast, has been allegedly sighted thousands of times, but has never once set of a field researches automated camera equipment.
That's one strike against. How many more strikes do YOU need before you give up?

Can any of those 100's lead someone to a bigfoot? Just one?
By the way, has anyone ever noticed there never seem to be any baby bigfoot footprints, or multiple prints from a herd of bigfeets as they migrate within the country? I mean, are baby bigfeets conceived immaculately, delivered by the mama bigfoot who then leaves the baby to raise itself so that no two bigfeets are ever in the same place together?
Things that make you go hmmm.....
Xblade, there have been some baby bf casts found. Just look it up. I also believe this thing would leave its young on its back or in secluded places. There have been sightings of small and large bf together. Did you ever notice how babies of great apes travel? They cling to the mothers body until their old enough to survive on their own?

Actually there have been "purported' baby BF casts found. They have never been shown to be authentic BF ( for that matter they havent been shown to not be from a normal human and most of those claims were investigated by "investigators" ( I cringe when I use that word associated to BF dom) whose only standard of proof is saying "the witness sounded credible"

Why would they lose their jobs if they reported a bigtoot?
They are egg-laying marsupials. I've already explained this before. They squat on their eggs a lot (hence sasquatch. That explains the big feet and strange footprints as well as the mournful howls (fallen arches, leg cramps). It also explains why you don't see their young.
Please try to keep up with the latest research.

Mr. Blade,
Our very own LTC8K6 has made this observation more than once ..
Bigfoot proponents get upset, and ban people from their discussions when people suggest the hairy guy might be trans-dimensional, or para normal; but it doesn't seem far fetched when you consider so many print sets begin suddenly and end suddenly.
Not to mention they sometimes lay down, leaving the impression of an elk, with nary a footprint coming or going.
( Why do people always mention something, after they say " Not to mention. " ?

Nah Bigfoot's life is boring and straight.
He really hasn't much to do in the woods except to walk from point A to B
Unless he finds some pancakes then he will just sit with his back to you.
Maybe he'll come across a angry 1200 pound Bear someday or a rutting moose.
Then we'll see some action.
