Anyone know about the unreleased Midwest bigfoot video

How many Bigfoots?

Bindernagel: In the thousands.

Meldrum: 500-800 in the Western USA and Canada. If you include the rest of North America including the East and Southeast the number would be 2000-3000. Mentions Appalachia. Interestingly, this means that Meldrum thinks there are more Bigfoots living outside the PNW than within.

Erickson: Bigfoot is everywhere there are forests. Mentions Appalachia. At least 4000, maybe 8000-12000.

Erickson thinks nobody has ever found the bones of a black bear, mountain lion or wolf that has died of natural causes.

I would say that based on the number of sightings, that there are at least 10,000 Bigfoots in the PNW alone.

You see they (the footers) have a dilemma, they have all of these people seeing Bigfoot, yet no bodies. So either there are a lot of people seeing a fairly common creature, and this creature never dies in an accessible spot, or people really aren't seeing a Bigfoot, and there are no bodies to find.

If they inflate the population, then people will have found them, if they underestimate the population, then WHAT EXPLAINS THE SIGHTINGS? I mean these sightings are on dirt roads, in semi-rural areas, not way out in the sticks.

If they limit them to the PNW, then they can't explain the other sightings. However if they allow them to be in OHIO and FLORIDA, and there are no PNW type forest, or BLM areas there. In the PNW they can say, "it is so far in the middle of nowhere" but you can't say that, when you are in a suburb of Columbus OH.

These people seem unconcerned with any dilemma if they even perceive one at all. There is a calmness when stating Bigfoot population estimates and when explaining that bodies or bones are just not likely at all.

For these devoted believers, there is nothing you can say or put in front of their face that will cause them to retract their belief. They might as well go ahead and get Bigfoot tattoos. Their belief is permanently etched in stone.

I caught a few minutes of a History Channel show this morning on growing marijuana in northern CA. During one part of the voiceover, they focused on a road sign that said something like "Bigfoot Lives" and had a drawing of Patty/Bob doing the look-back. They weren't talking about bigfoot at all, they were just describing the region. This made me wonder just how many of those original "eyewitness" accounts came from this region, from the 1960s and 1970s, and from people who were just plain high.

If you listen to the bigfooters, no one who's ever reported a bigfoot has been high, drunk, or otherwise impaired. (It's kind of like the way Rasheed Wallace has never acknowledged committing a foul.)
 
Props for the rare and possibly endangered Rasheed Wallace reference. U could have easily gone with the common white-breasted McInroe, but you chose Innocentus complainus hoopus var. rasheedi.

Yes, we've seen the Sylvanic photos before. Not likely to fool anyone but the most ardent believer, imo.

Adrian Erickson says: "Show me anyone who's found the bones of a black bear... that has died of natural causes"
I don't know about the rest of the country, but in Pennsylvania an average of 24 are found every year

Who cares if it died of natural causes? I can find plenty of black bears on the shoulder of US41 in Michigan's Upper peninsula.

Why limit it to natural causes? Bigfoot is above dying by accidental means?

Why can't a Bigfoot mess with the wrong Peterbilt? or slip on the icy steps of the trailer park he is peering into? Why don't unnaturally killed corpses count?
 
Unnaturally killed corpses should count. But, advocates like Krantz and Erickson seem to want to limit their bear comparison to natural causes. If I include auto collisions the average goes to over 260 per year. That's a lot of bones.
 
"Natural causes"... WTF it means?

Diseases? Old age?

Predation and accidents (ex.: falling from a canyon wall) can also be considered as "natural causes" for wild animals deaths IMHO.

For example, baby bigfoots would not be immune to predation if these animals were real. Sooner or later some would get caught by mountain lions, bears, wolves... Neither would them be immune to accidents. Sooner or later one would fall from a branch, a steep cliff, drown in a river, etc.

Oh, yeah, OK. Its the bigfoot, the ultimate beast, super stealthy, super strong, super smelly, super smart, super fast, superb jumper, super careful with its offspring, buries their dead, etc. Not even kriptonite hurts them. Take that, Superman.
 
What you're all forgetting is that the rules of physics/biology, and life in general, just don't seem to apply to Sasquatch, for the sole reason that this is a creature of magic... When will you all realize that you'll never find a Bigfoot unless you open your heart to magic and your anus to ********.

And open your wallet to Meldrum, moneymaker, Green, Gimlin et al.

Ps could the above make a con man movie about a Bigfoot swindle? Starring Robert Redford? Entitled "The Stink"....

And hunting accidents. Around 1000 people are accidentally shot every year in Canada and US. If someone can mistake a person for game, I'd think the same should occasionally occur with a Bigfoot.

A Marvel - DC crossover: Sasquatch vs. Superman

Actually Gimlin's story might make a good movie. 45 years of living a lie.

I'd watch it. I'm not sure it would have an audience friendly ending, without some kind of confession from Gimlin though.
What ever happened to Judge Reinhold's Ray Wallace movie? That would have been good too.
 
Gimlin's life has been on the brink; he wasn't a believer, then maybe Patterson convinced him, but then he was part of a fraud, he told his wife, their kids know, im sure, she almost divorced him, he was cheated by Patterson and then by Dahinden, now his wife told him he can go to the conventions as long as he doesn't lie overtly, and sooner or later he's gonna tell or his widow will. It's an interesting story. You could easily incorporate a lot of interesting characters and episodes.

Matthew mcConaghy could play Gimlin and Mark Wahlberg would be a great Patterson. Reinhold could be Green and Seth Rogen would be a perfect bob H.
