Bigfoot - The Patterson-Gimlin Film

[Huntster]

The ' little or ' part, was superfluous..

Where are these ' hunting ' reports ?........

Byrne, for one (not to mention Rene) hunted plenty, and documented it.

.......BFF and BFRO Is filled with reports of sighting, but no concerted effort to " hunt/track "...

You got it: NO CONCERTED EFFORT. (Is it finally getting through?)

.....We see all kinds of reports of HUNTERS , who find Bigfoot sign and see them, but do not hunt them.....

That's because the HUNTERS that report sightings aren't hunting sasquatches. They're hunting bear, elk, deer, etc.

BTW, hunters today are well trained to shoot only legal game.

Sasquatch ain't legal game.

......I know of a guy who calls himself Hunster, but has nothing but excuses about why Bigfoot cannot be hunted......

That's H-U-N-T-S-T-E-R to you (not hunster).

Yes, I have nothing but excuses. I hunt for food, not for sasquatch.

I guess you wouldn't know what that's all about.

I don't have time to travel around the continent hunting for a creature that is way too rare and in an environment that whips my a$$ to bother with it.

Does that mean I should propound that it doesn't exist, when the evidence strongly suggests that it does?

So, what is your excuse?

Show me.

What about poop dogs?

Dogs are being used to sniff out the scat of endangered species like wolves, kit foxes, grizzly bears—even right whales. The feces of these animals are a treasure trove for researchers, yielding valuable information about the animals, including population size, fertility, gender, stress, and extent of home range.

Before scat-sniffing dogs were trained, researchers visually searched areas for droppings. It was a time-consuming job that wasn't always easy. Some animals defecate conspicuously but others try to hide their dung. Even when found, some scat, such as black bear and grizzly bear, look so similar that they are easily confused.

Dogs make the process easier. They cover larger areas, faster and more accurately, using their powerful sense of smell. Canines can detect poop from hundreds of yards away, and find four times more samples than using other methods, such as visual observation or hair snags, said Samuel Wasser, director of The Center for Conservation Biology at the University of Washington in Seattle.

"It's really a powerful tool, and we do all this without ever seeing a single animal," he said.

That's the ticket... poop dogs.

Diogenes, we have discussed dogs before in this thread, of course. You can find bear hunting dogs in New York, for example.......

Well, that was easily typed.

Links, please?

Cadaver dogs could be good. Bigfoot supposedly stinks really bad....

.....Oh, I see, I'm a mere faithless urbanoid, whose mind is polluted by science...

More like a faithless urbanoid whose mind is polluted by humanity.

Who the heck says you have to hunt it to kill it, anyway? Track it to find out where it lives, or to take pictures, or to find scat, hair, etc.

Track it so that you can prove the footprints do in fact lead to an actual sasquatch, and were in fact made by the sasquatch you followed.

You don't have to want to kill one to want to follow it around.

 

[LTC8K6]

I would be using the dogs to get film and pics and evidence, not to kill one.

 

[Huntster]

Obviously, you aren't much of a hunter, or you'd know that.

Uncle Sam trained me to kill men, which look a bit like sasquatch at a distance. Or in a jumpy 16mm film.....

Me, too.

When was the last time you killed a man?

Was it in the temperate rain forest? Alone? Were you supplied by Uncle Sam, or at all? Supported? Air support? Latrines? Communications? Intelligence?

Leave the men aside (thankfully).

When was the last time you killed a wild creature?

Did you do it at night? Do you have any idea what it's like to hunt at night? Have you shot any living creature after the sun has gone down?

What do you eat? Do you shoot, dress, and prepare it yourself?

Have you ever been "stuck" in the woods? Can't move because of weather? The rivers are too high to cross? The mud too slick to move?

Yet, you had to go anyway?

Who else besides you, Ray?

Thanks for the link. I'm going to check in on it. We have "poop" to train them on.

I can't believe I'm reading this on this forum.

Dahinden immediately labeled one incident a hoax because he brought dogs there and they did not even react to the supposed tracks.....

How likely is it that dogs would not even react?

Do you actually think that anything less than a body will get humanity on track with regard to bipedal apes?

 

[LTC8K6]

Why do bigfoot hunters bring dogs then? Patterson wanted dogs, too.

Why humanity ?

Why not just a couple of skeptics ?

I don't need a body ..

A good photo will do.. There should be thousands.. There are none...

As photography has gotten easier and easier, pics of supposed Sas, that are more than fuzzy blobs, get rarer and rarer..

There is a clue there somewhere..

 

[LTC8K6]

So where did Marx get his suits? Does the hair look similar to Patty's?

 

[William Parcher]

Patterson knew that if any dogs were brought to Bluff Creek, they would never be able to track Bob Heironimus all the way back to Yakima.

Green went on to give us a summary of the cases he has personally investigated over the years. Of 3,647 cases in Green's files, only 40 have a male and female together. Smell is mentioned in only 72 reports, with 14 described as "strong," 4 describe a "mild" smell, while 26 reports mention no smell from a distance of 10' or less. Green believes any smell may be a "fear odor" as described by Diane Fossey. Green went on to say that 1,182 of his sightings were by hunters, loggers, or hikers. The most common sighting is "the one seen on the side of the road."

So, less than a third of sightings were by hunters, loggers, or hikers. A smell is very rare. A male and female together is very rare. Most sightings are near a road.

Hmmm...yet foot never gets hit by a car....

Or that the dogs would track Patty, right back to their campsite ?

 

[William Parcher]

That's H-U-N-T-S-T-E-R to you (not hunster).

I'm one of the very few on JREF and BFF that spells your name correctly. Betcha still don't love me for it

Just noticed that ...

Did HunTster think I was referring to him ?

I wasn't.. I was referring to someone I know called ' Hunster ' , who also makes up excuses about not hunting for Bigfoot..

Small world, huh ?


Oh, well ...
