bigfoot is real I have the proof

[Ravenwood]

I also forgot to add, CF, why in the name of the FSM do you think a harpoon gun to be the way to get a BF specimen? No other large mammals are hunted in this fashion. If you are serious, you have a lot more research to do on the taking of hunting large animals, if you are just trolling, go somewhere else (and at least read the rules for Florida WMA's)

Yes Lock there are bigfoots liveing in my back yard and the surounding areas man up and come take a look for yourself .

No, creekfreak, you know the rules.
Your claim = you produce and present the evidence.
You should make a note of that!

We're not going ti visit you like Fishbone from BFF.
Wasnt he the last one who came to "look for himself"?

So do you have any other evidence, besides the photo-shopped picture?

 

[Ravenwood]

It appears that CF lifted the plans from this site:

I'm now even more dubious about the safety of anything he tries to construct, thankfully the pressure tank on that darwin award winning device is too small to give it any decent range

Odd then, that you can't collect any crediable evidence...pictures, hair, etc.

How is that Google Earth link coming along? Or any of the other areas you are researching?

ETA: If they are truly living in your backyard as you claim...why would you need the boat? It would seem, before you spent $ on boat resources, you'd put your time into finding/gathering the credible evidence/proof from your own backyard.

I was flying one of the helicopters that day. It was mid april of last Spring. We had a fairly large widfire near Overstreet FL. Regardless of what your maps may tell you. That is a remote area and a huge national forest is not far away. I suppose an animal could go undetected there as well as anywhere in the lower 48. I'm not saying I believe in bigfoot, like most I'd like too, but haven't seen one yet. The pic on here was my coworker hovering low over a brackish creek picking up water with his bucket. I was in the larger aircraft not shown. We didn't see anything, but as we are very focused on the fire and flying, I can't say that I would not miss an animal near me. The guy that took the picture must have been fairly far off as that area would have not been accesable on foot. Well, this doesn't prove or disprove anything, just thought you'd like to hear from somebody that was in the area that day. Someone told us about a picture and bigfoot claims so I searched the web and found this forum. Regards.

Still waiting on some proof of any of your claims, bud.

Wow. b209pilot, the maps suggested to me that Overstreet is very close to Wetappo Creek, where Creekfreak lives, and that it's another 20 miles to the Apalachiola River and the further still to the National Forest. I understand that the Apalachiola is quite wild, but the area around Wetappo Creek looks like 400 square miles of tree plantations.

Perhaps you can help us out in the map department, b209pilot. Take a look at these two quotes:

No they do not live in the planted pine areas thats absurd they live in the swamps where humans normaly do not go into .

Yes Lock there are bigfoots liveing in my back yard and the surounding areas man up and come take a look for yourself .

(In conjunction with the latter, of course, Creek says they go through his trash, enter his house, etc. --- he doesn't mean "backyard" loosely.)

Can you point us to a large, inaccessible area which is (a) not a pine plantation, (b) adjacent to CreekFreak's home and backyard? I've looked at the map, and I don't see it. It'd be great if you could post coordinates.

Welcome and thanks for the input b209. But before CF latches onto the following quote as support of his claims...

I suppose an animal could go undetected there as well as anywhere in the lower 48.

An animal (a single specimen) presumably could go undetected for quite some time in an area like that. That doesn't mean a breeding population could do the same thing over an extended period of time.

Now about that tower boat, CF. According to the Boston Whaler website, the model 130 Sport currently in production (previous versions of which date back to 1958) is 13' 3" long overall, with a beam of 5' 11". Sounds pretty close to what you have...and the kind of tower you describe sounds like those used on some boats used for fishing the flats.

The thing is, none of the flats towers approaching the size of yours are installed on boats of that size...at least not by any reputable online vendor I've been able to find. Boston Whalers have a well-deserved reputation for being stable, reliable boats...but they can't defy of physics. I'd say a tower of that height on a boat that small is inadvisable, to put it kindly. But don't take my word for it. Call up one of these manufacturers for a quote on a 12-foot tower for a 13-foot boat.

Now, didn't you say that the tower doesn't fold? Near as I can figure, Florida apparently has a 13' 6" height restriction for vehicles and any load they carry. How high is your trailered boat and tower combo?

 

[FramerDave]

I think you're gonna need a bigger boat.

 

[Maldon]

Didn't creekfreak say that the pilots were brought to silence by the government?

 

[b209pilot]

Hey, I didn't reply on here to argue with anyone. When Florida comes to mind, most everyone thinks beaches and Disney world, but north Florida is actually very wooded. Millions of acres of nothing but Pines, swamps and coastal Marsh. That area is very rural. Pine plantations are forest, few are very well "manicured". I have no dog in this fight, have never seen a bigfoot,(definately bears in that area), and really doubt one could go undected anywhere in this country for very long. I was just giving a little input on that area. We have the second largest state forestry department in the nation, there's a reason.
Regards

I don’t think anyone is arguing with you.

Creekfreak contends there is a active “BF” population in the area where he lives…and frequently sees them in his back yard (for example); he even claims they have even entered his house and eaten his canned beans.

Obviously this all seems far fetched for numerous reasons including, as you point out, while the area is rural it seems extremely unlikely (to the point of impossibility) such a population could exist and go “undetected anywhere in this country for very long.”

Speaking for myself, I wasn't arguing with you and I don't really think anyone else was, either. I just think folks are trying to reconcile your much-appreciated input with Creekfreak's previous claims. If I have any misconceptions about the Florida panhandle, it's probably because the place has changed over the years since I've been there. I was stationed at Eglin AFB in the early 80s and spent several weeks at Tyndall in the early 90s. I hunted and fished quite a bit so I have no trouble accepting your description of the area.

I didn't realize your department was that large. I don't know if our department is larger or not but the forests are. If you ever need a change, c'mon up to our neck of the woods. Firefignting is a cooperative effort up here with the AKDOF, USFS, BLM, et al, and I think the AKDOF contracts firefighting aircraft from the private sector. But I seem to remember inspectors in my office mentioning a small number of 205s and/or 212s. Not sure about 209s.

 

[b209pilot]

Thanks for the kind words. I think people would be surprised as to how much of this state is rural and unseen. Even much of central and South Florida are pretty "backwoods".
I didn't read but a few of the pages on this thread so I didn't know about the claims made. And yes it does seem very far fetched, It's hard to go anywhere without running into another human these days. I don't know how even just one animal of that size could feed himself and go undetected. Not saying it couldn't be done, just seems very unlikely. Deer hunting with dogs is very popular in N. Fl. Those dogs go anywhere and everywhere chasing deer out of blocks of land. Seems like they would definately run down a bigfoot and some hunter would get a very unusual oportunity. Oh well, interesting subject anyways.
B209 is the civ. designation for the AH-1 Cobra. I flew them in the Army and we have a few that have been civilianized for dropping water/retardant here in forestry. I also have been out west and Alaska on fires. Awesome country out there, but for now I'm stuck in here in the land of mosquitos,alligators,sinkholes,hurricanes,humidity,shark attacks,wildfires,tornadoes, high insurance rates/taxes, and bigfoots. With those exceptions it ain't too bad. Take Care

 

[William Parcher]

Oh, wait til you hear about Creekfreak trying to blackmail the FL government into giving him a job (he's unemployed). It was about the chopper photo showing Bigfoot. Seems he was convinced that the crew saw the Bigfoot and then proceeded to cover it up (keep it from public knowledge). The idea was to tell some cheif that he had photo evidence of the cover up conspiracy. Give me a job or I'll turn this photo over to the people of Florida. Voters and taxpayers. Your job is toast unless you give me a job.

Deer hunting with dogs? Now that I didn't know...that is illegal in MD, to be honest I never thought about it beyond that.

It certianly does seem with all those hunters, dogs, etc. that someone, somewhere would flush one of these mytical "BF" out...or accidently shoot it.

You would think so, but as far as I remember BF-believers have found some way around this.
Something about dogs being instinctively afraid of BF and therefore can not be used to hunt these apes.
I'm not sure. Creekfreak, why is it dogs can't be used in BF-hunting?

From what I've seen, the usual bigfeet and dogs wisdom is divided between the idea that dogs will not track a bigfoot at all and the idea that dogs will track a bigfoot but the bigfoot will tear them to pieces when they do. Some people seem to find these two ideas compatible, since they lead to the same dead end.

 

[Linda777NJ]

Perhaps they have evolved, as a defense... some sort of smell that can be sprayed at will to repulse the dog and send him off in the opposite direction.

I am guessing a shampoo scent since my own dogs are very attracted to all sorts of stinky stuff like garbage, goose poop, and skunks and both absolutely hate baths!

 

[Linda777NJ]

The Bigfoot has developed, as a defense, the ability to emit a scent similar to a flowery shampoo. Once the dog detects the scent, he runs in the opposite direction.

I believe this must be the case because both of my dogs run from baths or anything that smells like it may possibly mean a bath. This would make sense, since dogs are attracted to foul smelling things, like garbage, skunks and goose poop.
