i kept this story between me and my small circle for more than 15yrs. i began to open up about it after seeing these "Finding Bigfoot" shows. although i find the interesting, it's the town hall meetings that gave me the courage speak out amongst the ridicule! i mean, if those people are brave enough to go on camera,.. why not tell my event to anyone who will listen.

Titus,.. the people who really know me absolutely believe me. my family is very religious, as i, and they never questioned my integrity. my friends know that i'm a realist. i tried, as previously stated, to discount my sighting as maybe something else. except,.. nothing else makes any sense!:(

I think the recent rash of TV shows on the subject are just marketing fodder and do a whole lot more harm than good as far as actually finding bigfoot or even having reasonable conversations on the subject.
 
As someone with family in that area I have to say it's a different world and culture for sure. There is no industry, you're either independently wealthy, working seasonal or odd service type jobs, living in SF 80% of the time for a steady job, or working in the pot industry. Although I'm told that the violent cartels have/had moved in and local people who grow are a vanishing group.

yeah, bk,.. the locals have retreated from the outer areas because of the "cartel growers"! the locals are "via Permit" allowed to grow on their own property these days. i'm sure it allows the Authorities to more easily track down the illegals.
 
If there's one thing I learned while in the army, it's that whatever you think is our latest, greatest knowledge or technological ability, we are at least three steps beyond that with stuff you don't know about and likely never will. ;)

I bet the gov't. got them a few bigfoots up at that groom lake facility and are breeding a race of super soldier/bigfoots as we speak. Nothing would suprise me, its all about kickin asses and takin names with those pentagon boys .

yeah, will33

i'm from a military/LEO family and the things i've heard. i have several friends still active and they literally bite their lips shut when i'm around knowing i'll ask the hard questions.
 
There is a flaw in your logic. It is probably true that 25% of this countries terrain has not been fully explored. But for this to be a meaningful argument one would have to assume that that area is the only are that big foot has ever inhabited. Logic would assume this creature would have had its territory greatly reduced as us humans moved in on them, and cleared out entire forests. So you would think that there would be remains found even after the live creatures have moved out of the area.

great assumption, Hopkins! a creature adapts to the enviornment or it perishes. i suspect their numbers have been greatly reduced or they are being forced closer to civilization,.. hence the recent spike in sightings.

Maybe they bury their dead, which is why not a single, solitary shred of remains had ever been found.

Or they eat them. Cannibal Bigfeet.

That sounds like a stoner band name, actually.

Numbers being greatly reduced would vastly increase the probability of a dead big foot being found in an area they once inhabited. Even if they bury their dead, the likely hood of a skeleton not being dug out of the ground is highly unlikely with as much ground as we have broken.
 
@will33 and FretNo,... i lol'd hard just now. i totally realise what i just did and it's cool to pass judgement on that. i'm not into mis-leading anyone, so full disclosure is paramount. you just don't hang out in these forests without a great reason. but,.. no,.. i have never hallucinated on weed, lol.

funny thought,.. we have theorised that the pungent odor of high-grade marijuana has attracted more than just people. haaa. fricken animals and insects love this stuff. we've had deer consume entire buds from their limbs. if BF is as evolved as I claim they are, maybe that's why they infiltrated both of my "grows"! there's people with more experience in this research field that have made claims just as far-fetched. as you proably noticed about me,.. i got thick skin,.. so bring it. also,.. it such a brutal environment we only allowed smoking after-hours. there's just no way to deal intoxication while exerting all that energy. some of these slopes are 45-60 degrees up and down. extremely difficult to traverse sober,.. let alone sedated on weed!:eek:

agreed 100%!

after the Town Hall meetings i usually channel hop. unless it was a recent sighting i find it wasteful to look in an area because years ago someone alleged to have seen something!

Do you think the fastesest, most highest flyinest plane ever made was made in the 1950's?

Do you think the CIA's "truth serum" and mind control goals were just shuttered back then as well?

Do you think that "night vision" made its debut in Vietnam?

Do you think that all your gov't tells you is the truth and the whole truth, nothing left out?

Do you think we actually found Bin Laden in Pakistan, killed him, then buried him at sea in less than 24 hours without so much as a photograph being taken or leaked out?

Do you think some woodsy white man could rent a Ryder truck, blow up half a gov't building, kill hundreds, without being noticed, then get busted down the road because he forgot to put a license plate on his car?

Do you belive that most Americans want " X " because your TV tells you this is so?

And on and on and on.....





















Questions parsed out so you can respond to each individually in an attempt to tell me I'm nuts. :D
 
One more time.

heheh,.. does this mean we're going steady?!!:hiding:

EDIT: duuuuude,.. i promise you i am not making this stuff up! i'm not that guy. i am old and feel like i needed somewhere to vent. and since we are TB brethren,.. why not here. if you visit any pro Sasquatch sites, it's a haven for doubter's. each side flaming the other and not much gets done. atleast here it's just me taking the questions. :)
