I am the official "skeptic". A real positive of the "Finding Bigfoot" show is they sort of have a skeptic. So the local group here has been receptive to letting me join in on some of the fun. I'm not allowed on over nighters as "the wives wouldn't like it" (It's an all male group).

I really think the wives are an excuse, the really enjoy having a giant outdoor man cave on the weekends.

The initial report on the tracks found is that they are "Primate sized". I'm going to talk to them about primates.

However, I felt that the stereotype of Bigfoot is large stride. The prints were odd, in that I photographed them from quite a distance, they were quite large, and ended at the stream. (I also only saw tracks in on direction, so whatever it was must have then walked in the stream, which is NUTS in winter. There were no other prints that matched anywhere near this set).

Bigfoot, no, a mystery, yes!

Or just some animal that walked to the stream and then walked along in it while drinking.

It's a lot of fun, and they are open to suggestions I make. More trail cameras no matter what Bobo says (he claims Bigfoot avoids trail cams and setting them up scared Squatches away). For one thing, I am more than happy to look at trail camera photographs as it's fun to see the wildlife.

I also won points with the group by reporting these prints. They were kind of shocked the "skeptic" found prints. I told them I would deal honestly with them at all times. This is important in building trust, as most Bigfoot hunters distrust anyone that claims they are "skeptics".
 
Those footprints look like a rabbit or hare to me, on first impressions. However, they are old and partially melted, so there is no good way of ever finding out what made them that I can think of.

That brings back fond memories of living in Georgia and going footing as a kid, kittynh. The believers don't seem to understand that a lot of skeptics of Bigfoot would like to be proven wrong, so it is natural for them to distrust us.

Ironic, when you stop and think on it, that it is usually the believers that are dishonest.
 
Years ago, the late director of the St. Louis Zoo, Marlin Perkins, did a segment of his Wild Kingdom show on the subject of the Yeti.
In same, he showed how the tracks of normal area critters in those parts, particularly foxes, would melt and expand under sunlight and end up looking surprisingly like large, bipedal tracks.
 
Bigfoor would be 'scared' of trail cameras?

How does a 'bigfoot' know what cameras are?
 
Definitely bigfoot prints. I'd suggest a nine foot male, a lookout for a much larger family group. Check out the area for any stick formations or discarded animal bones or tree scratchings and I think we can close this case. No need to actually search for it to prove its existence to science. We dont want that.
