^^ @Nothern Lights: Cool story, bro.

Now, moving on to other things. NorthernLights, you said a little while back that you are a knower and nothing that can be said here could ever change your mind. Fair enough. Then just today you post that you came here "...to learn to look at what I do encounter from a different perspective." So I'm curious what sort of different perspective you seek? Do you not look at things you encounter from the perspective of a believer, since you are a devout one? Do you wish to be more skeptical with your perception, but only to a point since you cannot be convinced that Bigfoot is not real?

Looks like I've got some catching up to do. I am part of an organization that collects reports and actively investigates them. I want to have the perspective to ask all the right questions to the witnesses. Although I do know they exist, I really don't want that to sway what I hear during our interview, thus I want to ask the tough questions. I figure entering the lion's den was a good way to learn.

And curiously you don't seem pissed about it at all. 'The guy' never shoots because he's not confident enough to know the difference between a real beast and a hoax...YET...not only does that not sway you towards Bigfoot = hoax, but it in fact reinforces your dubious faith it really exists? You know they could have saved you and a bunch of other Bigfoot HallucinAgents™ an almost infinite amount of anguish and ridicule if one of 'em had bagged just one Bigfoot and shut us all up. Drats!

No, I'm not pissed. I'm squarely in the no kill camp. If I had to choose between having one shot and having them never be recognized, I would choose the latter.

I'm listening to the first one. Egads, the sound quality is utterly atrocious. There's too much noise to make out anything useful. This is worse than an EVP.

I skipped to the one of interest, the 8:30-12:00 clip. Those are human howls. The last howl sounds nothing like what they're describing it to be. I'd like to hear the actual raw audio, but these howls are either added in later, or done with a bottle or jug to create an echo. Utter nonsense. This sounds like it's been altered. Either way, if there were half a dozen giant humanoids running around the woods, by now someone would have found a carcass. Unless this particular breed of Sasquatch or Bigfoot is invisible, covers tracks, and vaporizes into fairy dust when it dies.

Thank you for listening.

NL if in ten years time there's still no solid proof, what would your train of thought be? Extinction, or are they SAS trained?

I've already experienced enough out in the field to convince me, which was my goal from the beginning. I don't need validation from anyone else. Ten years down the road won't change anything in my mind even if they aren't recognized.

Want to join me out in the deep woods of northern Minnesota and a moonless night? It's a blast.

I've been out in the deep woods on all kinds of nights in your neighbor to the right. Never once had I an experience I could attribute to bigfoot. Is Wisconsin bereft? How about to the north? Ontario? Manitoba? Nunavut (barren-ground bigfoot)?

It is indeed a blast but I found it unnecessary to invent wildlife because the real stuff sufficed. But unlike you, I could be convinced to alter my position on this cryptid by solid objective evidence.

So you've had more "encounters" than just the thermal sighting?

Why are you participating in discussions on a skeptic forum if you have no intention of considering alternatives to your beliefs? Surely you don't think posting Munns "lectures" is going to sway anyone's skeptical position who is participating in these threads.

How about you set aside some time to actually go through and read the previous 3 Patterson Gimlin megathreads. Will you do that? I did. Others who have not been present for the whole exchange over the years have also shown this respect to the previous posters by doing this.

Although some "footers" would try and convince you otherwise, they are not omnipresent. They don't lurk behind every tree in the forest. The likelihood of a chance encounter is exceedingly rare. The vast majority of my trips into the woods resulted absolutely nothing. I have done one trip into northern Wisconsin, and saw zip. For any one person to not have an experience isn't shocking. What is shocking is when they do have an experience.

Yes, I've had more encounters than just the thermal. I will detail them out at a later time in the sighting thread.

As to why I'm here, please see my post #175 in this thread.

I am reading through them as I have the time. There is quite a bit to get through, but I'm getting it done.

I'm sorry, but you went out into the woods with the express goal of being convinced that Bigfoot exists? And not surprisingly you managed to turn whatever you heard or felt into that conviction.

Confirmation bias.

Sure, one has to have events that one can shape into a bigfoot encounter. Now, if you're undiscerning, you can have footie calling to you in bird lingo. Or, the wind slapping trees together for the cliched tree knocks. I guess it takes time before you can change the ass-end of a northbound moose into a footie-foo-foo.

I still think the best one was the porcupine in a tree that someone claimed was a baby bigfoot.

Here's an intersting thread about Minnesota 'foots.

Interesting forum, I haven't seen that previously.

Moose Lake is the general area where I had my thermal sighting.

I also attended the town hall meeting for the Finding Bigfoot episode. As most have already said, they don't really want to find Bigfoot, they want ratings.

Finding bigfoot wouldn't make you want to watch, and skyrocket their ratings?

If they find bigfoot they have no more show.
 
If bigfoot are in Minnesota, shouldn't they be easy to track and find when there is snow on the ground?
