Is Big Foot a hoax

[burrows]

I just wanted to start this thread see if anyone has ever seen one or heard one. I actually believe that their is a possibility some type of primate or animal that walks on two feet like a human out there in the woods somewhere?

Interesting... well we know that at one time there was a species of great ape called Giganto Pithicus which by all rights looks just like what we now know as "Bigfoot". So this indicates that either A.) people are basing their "sightings" on that animal in an attempt to gain fame, glory, whatever... or B.) it didn't quite die off, and there are now sub-species that evolved from that primate still located in remote parts of the world. Personally, I think it's possible. There are a lot of places out there not very well explored. I've been in woods so deep before that I really do not believe that I would have been able to see an intelligent creature 10' in front of me that didn't want to be seen. The problems with credibility is that we have these... idiots, for lack of a better term, like that show "Finding Bigfoot" or whatever it's called, where guys bumble around in the wilderness making tons of noise, doing "calls", etc... I don't think that's the way to go at all if one was actually serious about maybe seeing an animal like that. But that makes me wonder, where did that supposed supreme illusive behavior come from? Were they hunted at some point? Idk... maybe? I've seen some pretty compelling evidence personally, so I can't rule out the possibility. I think it's cool to think they could be out there. Biologically it works anyway... scientists want to claim there isn't enough for them to eat but I beg to differ since most primates have a very wide diet that consists of many things, similar to us humans. The argument of "oh, well, we've never found a body" doesn't even work. A lot of mammals hide when they go to die: bears do it, deer do it, tigers do it... pretty common not to find remains of them either.

 

So who knows? Lol. I'm just gonna say... possible, unlessI see one with my own eyes. :P

I'm the type of guy that doesn't believe in that type of stuff. Nessy, big foot, chipucabra, etc. But one of my hunting buddies and I had an encounter with "something" I'll never forget one night while tracking a deer he had just shot. The images are etched into my mind and to this day scare the crap out of me. I don't know what we seen, but it wasnt anything I've ever seen again and ever want to.

Well.....my wife grew up at the base of Mt. Hood and her backyard was the mountain.  Yup...she claims to have seen it one time many years ago....will I question her.......NO

Big Foot is a hoax.

 

The people who started it have been on TV.

 

Now, down in the Louisiana swamps we have the Rougaou which is like Big Foot, but it is for real.

 

It is like a werewolf and eats nutria like candy and if you are not a good person, or like Toolame sports, it will come after you when you venture into the swamp.

 

It loves purple and gold and doesn't bother the LSU people.

If big foot is a hoax then how do you explain this picture !

And no joking the thousand of reported sightings every year.

Thousands of reports but no verified sightings. You’d think that with the tens of thousands of trail cams out there, ONE might come up with a picture of a Bigfoot.

Another thing. That TV show where they are looking for Bigfoot.  Every week they are so close to seeing one, you’d think they’d stick around until they found it, but no, they leave and “almost” find one someplace else.

Oh, they're real and they're spectacular.

Whatever "it" was had reflective eyes, was tan/flesh colored stood around 7-8 feet off the ground and had 0 intention of being scared of us. It flanked us to the left but never came right towards us. It stayed at a fast walk and never took its eyes off us. At first we figured it was a tweaker hopped up on meth and our perception of its height was off. But no matter how much meth you do I don't think your eyes turn reflective. There weren't any downed trees and none of the trees have branches lower than 30 feet in this woods so it couldn't have been a coon or bobcat...

Sounds suspiciously like my uncle Earle. Was he smoking Lucky Strikes and gumbling about politicians and the government? Those reflective eyes are cataracts. He's had them all his life. Might also be my aunt Bertha, Uncle Earle's wife. She also complains about the government but smokes Camels unfiltered.

I actually believe that at one time there was "bigfoots". there are too many native American stories from too many parts of the country not to have some truth to it. today I think , not so much.

The more time you spend in the woods, forests, the wilds you will be able to answer this question. The last time I seen something me and my son were coming off my mountain road below my camp. The road straightens out for quite a distance. There’s a stonewall on the right side of the road it’s the farmers field. We’re up on the ridge above the field. On top of the stone wall is a pair of red eyes at about 140 yards away. It was night time and we only seen the eyes and by the time we got closer it was gone. This road isn’t perfectly straight it zig zags. There’s two straights with the zig zag inbetween. We seen the eyes from the upper straight away. By the time we used the zig zag on to the lower straight away it was gone. I’ve had a few encounters, let’s say there’s something that’s unexplained. It’s unknown.  Trust me if you ever heard one scream or roar you’d beat feet to the flatlands.

 

the BFRO (finding Bigfoot researchers) must read the emails I send them. I was one of the first to mention the girberish language they speak. They woke me up, I was in my bunk frozen listening to them talk out side my window, I am a light sleeper, plus I sleep with the window open to let fresh air in when the woodstove is going. By the time I got my old body out of the bunk to look they were gone. My camp has the only running freshwater spring for miles. I have a watering hole.

 

Next when I make my famous bacon cheeseburgers they come close by and scream at me. Bacon seems to attract them but you need to be in a bf hot spot to attract them. 

 

The BFRO tried cooking bacon but got nothing. Everytime I cook my bacon cheeseburgers for supper they are there.

 

my camp is almost at the top of the mountain. I have my woodstove going when we went out one day. We walked the old logging access road up and over my mountain and continued on. I could smell my woodstove smoke for quite a distance. This tells me how far my cheeseburger/ bacon smell is going.

 

my son who hunts is a skeptic. I let him decide on his own. His deer stand is on my land. Now my land borders on the us national forest land. We went out early deer hunting. Right away I heard a tree knock above us on the ridge. A few seconds later another tree knock came from farther in the forest. When we exited the stands I said did you hear the knock above us? The kid says did you hear the knock in the forest?

 

early one morning we went up the ridge above my camp and sat on a blow down tree. The clouds were so low they covered the mountain with a mist and the trees had little icicles on the branches that looked like steel on a magnet.  I sat and looked to the north. I rattled a few times then had something running straight at me from the north. I could hear it clearly. All of a sudden it stopped dead. I could feel it looking at me but couldn’t see it because of the mist from the low clouds. I never heard it walk away.

 

Now the Town of Hancock borders my town near my camp. There was a gathering in Hancock. There was campers hiking. Something screaming at them ran them out of the forest. It’s documented on the BFRO site in the state of vt section. The towns border is a stones throw from my camp.

 

we were riding dirtbikes on the access road. My son was in the lead going fast. As he turned a bend he caught a glimpse of something big, red colored running in the forest from the road.

 

i contacted BFRO and gave them direction and they sent a rep up there to check it out. He found two bf beds above my camp up on the mountain. Then that bad hurricane hit vt and the investigation ended.

We can find a man who doesn't want to be found, hiding underground under a rock, in the middle of desert, full of nothing but sand and rocks,  but a giant animal/s that doesn't know it's being sought after, living who knows how close to humans for who knows how long, and there's never been any clear pictures? No bones? No positive proof?

 

I guess some folks never stop believing in fairy tales. 

[burrows]

There is actually positive proof of giagantapithitucus but the fossils are some 9 million years ago.

There's never been a live one caught or killed, never one hit by a car, no bodies, no bones. 

I agree there are undiscovered creatures but Bigfoot ain't one of em. I've heard things in the woods I can't explain either but I agree with Blue- it's a hoax.

Things do seem stranger in the woods, esp. At night.

Bears can walk upright and sometimes have mange, which gives them a strange look.

Not ridiculing anyone for there beliefs, and I know it's exciting to think something's out there and I don't doubt you saw SOMETHING but how is it possible with NO specimens of a supposedly large animal like that ?

LOL, indeed. My favorite BigFoot theory is that they are

never found because they are inter-dimensional beings

that appear and disappear at will.

 

Oooookaaaaay.

The only problem with that analogy is that I believe the Bigfoot story more than I believe the govts account of the "capture and kill".

Plenty of creatures existed a long time ago like giagantapithitucus, plesiosaurs (Nessie) and Megalodon Sharks. Could some have survived until today. Highly unlikely.

 

The thought that they have make for some cheesy sci-fi movies.

I don't believe much of what the government says, and I work for the government ?
