Moderated Bigfoot- Anybody Seen one?

[OntarioSquatch]

Those 16 inch bare feet belong to something. There are some interesting experiences and pieces of evidence that can be found on some fishing and hunting forums. Can you say, Washington State?

I grew up in Eastern Washington, outside of Spokane. No one I knew ever saw a Bigfoot. More than that, with as much hunting as occurs out there, someone would have shot one accidentally long before now if they existed.

 

[OntarioSquatch]

I find that understandable. It's still rare to see one, regardless of where one goes.

Which 16 inch bare feet are you referring to ?

 

[AttorneyTom]

The locker rooms of NCAA FB, BB, and NBA and NFL teams would seem to have the highest probability for sightings in North America.

A-a-a-and the award for understatement of the year goes to...OntarioSquatch!

Yes, with exactly zero confirmed or plausible sightings, I think you could reasonably describe it as "rare". Rare as a four-sided triangle. Rare as a fish that can solve differential equations. Rare as a steak still grazing in the field.

There is a very good reason for that.

Do you mean with clear pictures? like in this thread?

Same here. Born and raised in Eastern Washington, way out in the boonies, and I am 100% certain there are no bigfoots but there are many hoaxers.

 

[AlaskaBushPilot]

This is the thread for sightings, so OntarioSquatch - do you have any for our consideration?

And your proof that BF is "imaginary" (your term) is?

Hows this for "imaginary"

Mulder, on 17 June 2012 - 09:50 PM, said:
You say we should have the same standard for BF as any other animal...I agree. We should, and we have met that standard.

We need to move past the "prove that they exist" nonsense.

Once again Muldur, I'll ask you to back that up. What specific evidence do you feel validates your statement? Lets talk about those specifics. Not in general, or broad brushed terms. Lets get to the meat of it shall we?

 

[Vortigern99]

I think it's obvious to everyone here except Muldur that the standards of evidence have not been met.

Not a molecule of bigfoot blood, tissue, bone, fossil, hair, or scat exists, nor a single frame of unambiguous photography, nor a sighting by an accredited biologist or primatologist. There is no spoor that is non-hoaxable, no account that cannot be a lie, misidentification or hallucination.

We need to move past the "it might exist" nonsense.

 

[GT/CS]

But Bill Munns says Patty is/was real. So take that!

 

[dafydd]

Those 16 inch bare feet belong to something.

Yes. Hoaxers.

 

[Drewbot]

Those giant achilles tendon imprints and ass-cheeks in the huge cast that looks like an elk lay, must have come from something...

That never happens. The brush is always broad, like Bigfoot's shoulders.

 

[Drewbot]

I'd like to gauge the reaction of 1. A footer scientist brought to a habituation site vs. 2. A normal regular scientist brought to same site

 

[GeeMack]

I find that understandable. It's still rare to see one, regardless of where one goes.

So rare, in fact, that no objective evidence exists to support anyone's claimed sighting.

Yes, it's been my experience in nearly 50 years afield that oudoors enthusiasts never tell tall tales.

 

[Gilbert Syndrome]

Then you need to read further in various threads. Jodie disclosed, either in this thread or the "Unambiguous photog?" thread, that s/he no longer believes bigfoot exists, and thinks his/her father's story was likely an exaggeration of an encounter with a migrant worker or homeless person.

Well, I can't obviously read through every single page on here, but from what i've read of her comments, she doesn't seem to be able to completely disregard the idea of Bigfoot being real, hey, my opinion of course.
