Speaking of seeing a Bigfoot (or is that Bigfeet?); from yesterdays AP news:
AP News said:
JAFFREY, N.H. (AP) - A New Hampshire artist and videographer who dressed as Bigfoot in a state park says his rights were trampled by big government.

<snip>

He says he and others with him, some also in costume, were on a lesser-used trail and weren't bothering other park visitors.

Given the rampant lies, lies and more lies that permeate every corner of present-day Bigfootdom, well that and the fact he films it, at least this guy has the common decency to not 'act' like Bigfoot (bringing along his 'pirate friends' is the giveaway) and throw into confusion people like Sweaty. I mean, for a certain portion of the Bigfoot Buying™ public, and whether it's in videos or photos or whatever, anything that just resembles 'the idea of Bigfoot' is presumed to be the 'real deal' until further notice.

"Wait, crap, what's that? Cripes, it's his little pirate friends. Damnit. Hoax!"
 
I jotted down five things that must be overcome, if someone is to believe in Bigfoot.

1. Bigfoot is a HUGE, GIGANTIC, (Most claim 8-9 feet tall) Beast, yet it is still not classified.

2. Bigfoot is elusive, yet howls/screams menacingly at researchers, week after week, year after year. Yet it is still not classified.
2A. The elusive Bigfoot chucks: Rocks, pinecones, dead voles at researchers, it bangs on trees within a few feet of researchers. Yet it is still not classified.
2B. The elusive Bigfoot walks on open hillsides in broad daylight, in front of 90+ onlookers, it casually strolls away, while armed horseback riders approach it. Yet it is still not classified.

3. Bigfoot lives in places such as; Salt Fork State Park, the Swampy peripherals of Florida, The semi-rural farm fields of Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, the highway rest-areas of Washington, and the suburban driveways/fields of New Jersey, Yet it is still not classified.

4. Many Bigfoot hair and fecal samples have been gathered by researchers, with accompanying reports of their authenticity, Yet it is still not classified.

5. Many perfectly sane, non-medicated, non-lying, non-hoaxing individuals have reported sightings, with each report being investigated by a competent, relevently trained expert, Yet it is still not classified.

Please add more if you can.

6. The habituated Bigfoot that researches feed, shoot the breeze with and scratch under the chin. Yet it is still not classified.

7. Bigfoot is comparable in body mass to a black bear, and thus requires some 9000+ calories a day to survive, calories which are not available in winter months in most US states without raiding trash bins, camp sites and homes. Yet it is still not classified.
 
8. Every large game animal, can be tracked, and hunted using the wind, spoor, and/or dogs. Elusive animals such as Dall Sheep, pronghorn Antelope, Elephants, Lions, Leopards, Bushbuck, Kudu, mountain lions, bobcat, are all able to be tracked and hunted successfully, yet Bigfoot is still not classified.
 
My one and only post for 2010:

9. Owing to it's huge size and prodigeous food requirements, BF must be pooping all over the place, in tremendous volume, yet it isn't classified.

10. Living in areas of heavy agriculture, and needing lots of food, BF should be raiding orchards, fields, and farms with alarming frequency, getting shot regularly, and winding up dead on many occasions, yet...yep...you guessed it...

And that's all for me for 2010.
I'll check in some time in 2011 to see if it's been found and...classified...but until then, back to lurking for me...
 
11. The number of research groups, outings, individuals actively searching for this animal compared to the manpower afforded the study of any other animal. Yet still it has not been classified.
 
12. The (almost) absolute total lack of pursuit of this creature by the scientific community must speak to something, especially considering all the "evidence" Bigfootdom continually spews forth.
 
13. Amateur photographers across the globe are able to take clear, unambiguous photographs of wildlife, some rare or hard to find, yet Footers can only shoot blurry blobs in the middle distance.
 
No, but I see how it is possible to smell one.
Due to feeling a little adventurous, I recently found myself sitting in a hunting blind, alone, in the middle of thick woods on a very dark morning (armed with a camera not a gun). I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face. Anyway, I had also watched a certain popular paranormal movie the previous evening. But even after all the hoopla, I still didn’t find it scary. However, sitting alone, in the pitch black woods, I know the movie played into the creepy feelings that were giving me the willies. As I sat there, I began to smell a wretched odor. It kept getting stronger and I’m sure my heightened senses at the time and the fact I couldn’t see only hear and smell, helped me hone in on it as well. I thought this smells like a wet dog x10 (an oft mentioned description of Bf eau du toilette), nasty. So, of course, Bigfoot came to mind and I figured it would be poetic justice to meet my demise at his hand. As the smell got worse I strained to hear something , anything, but there was nothing. To my heart’s great relief the stench finally began to dissipate. And then I heard the source. A pack of coyotes howling up the hill close behind me. They had silently crossed the creek near me (thus wet dog x10 odor) and crept right by me without making a sound. I was situated on a game trail. I recently read somewhere that there are possibly up to 2000 coyotes living in urban Chicago. They’re everywhere. Silent but deadly :D

Atpeace, that's very interesting. I wonder how many wet-dog stinks attributed to BF by the credulous were actually coyotes moving unseen and/or unheard through the underbrush? All of them? Some, with olfactory hallucination and the ubiquitous "swamp gas" explaining the rest?

WHBH, is it possible the stink you experienced was in fact a pack of otherwise unnoticeable coyotes?
 
Sure Vort, that is what I thought too.
Since a lot of reports are only smell and the feeling of being watched, not sight or sound. It is certainly plausible in some cases. Some may not realize how stealthy and STINKY some animals can be and may assume it must be something super intelligent or whatever.
