Is Big Foot a hoax

[roadwarrior]

Regardless of the species, all individuals require a supporting population. So even if they are rare,

where there is one there are others.  I still believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, but not so

much in Big Foot.

Why wouldn’t you believe in Santa Claus?

There was a lost boy. The air national guard was searching for him. They seen the boy on there night vision but not far away was a Bigfoot too. They think the Bigfoot saved the kid or kept an eye on him till help came. True story.

 

even Einstein said there are different dimensions. Now how do we travel between them who knows. I think Tesla knew more than he was saying. Another subject that’s not mentioned much is time travel.

Ok well it’s Plausible not likely but still very possible, but their is that inner kind of feeling that kinda makes you want it to be true, maybe from child hood story’s or something, even just these what seem to be credible police officers and rangers that say they’ve witnessed it first hand I mean There’s got to be some truth to what they are saying? In other words they are seeing something! Is it a Sasquatch who knows?

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.

When I hunted in Vermont we took my jeep up the mountains on over 150 year old logging trails. We parked then walked up farther. This was about 1990. We were tracking a bear in three inches of fresh snow. But then noticed a cub was zig zagging it’s mothers tracks. Behind the cub tracks was mountain lion tracks. The fact is there’s no mountain lions in vt. Fast forward a decade+ later the mountain lions are in the lower populated areas now so they are multiplying as they move looking for food. It took me decades to finally see one at my camp. There very elusive and hard to see one. Now my point is put together a large primate  with animal instincts plus it can think like a human you get a Bigfoot.

 

its no fairy tale. Look at its power.

nothing scares me on this planet but you need to be upclose and personal when this thing howls or screams. I’ve heard this similar howl from my front porch one summer night in ct. it’s happened on a few summer nights.  https://www.bfro.net/AVEVID/MJM/Howl.mp3

Do y'all smoke peyote?

 

Bones..Where are the bones ? We know of thousands of creatures that existed but aren't alive today. From bones and evidence left behind in things like Amber or rock... 

 

All the dinosaurs we know of... Bugs, birds and other animals that we know of but don't exist today and haven't for HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of years !?!?! Where are the bones ?!? 

 

NOT ONE BODY ? 

 

I'd rather discuss ghosts. 

[Bassin' Brad]

@bigbill you should submit the bacon cheeseburger story to Outdoor Life for their humour page in the back......that cracked me up!? 

 

Do I believe in Big foot? Deep down I know there is no way they exist....but it's still fun to think they might could be out there. People always have and always will believe in mythical creatures, because its fun for them to think they could exist. 

 

How many of you have heard the same ole story of dam inspectors diving deep to inspect dams on huge lakes and come up with tales of catfish big enough to swallow a man?? Do they exist? No. But it's fun to talk about....

 

I'll be the 1st to admit that there is unexplained things out there, but I also know your imagination and eyes can play crazy tricks on you under the right circumstances.

i totally believe that bigfoot could exist, at the same time, im not willing to say i am 100% sure either. there are so many stories out there to read about sightings and stuff, i find it hard to peg every one of them people a liar. how do you explain barefooted tracks that go in a straight line(human tracks are side by side) with a stride that cant be matched by humans? If its a bear walking on its hind legs then how do you explain the long arms that go down to its knees? What else in the woods has hands that can throw rocks, small and large. I could go on and on with evidence that points to big foot, but am unable to verify it myself. I've came across an upside down tree in the woods before. Used to take a dirt trail through the woods(by foot and bicycle) as a shortcut to a friends house when i was younger, one spot there was a small dirt mound in the middle of the trail and I always had an uneasy feeling of being watched in that immediate area. I've heard stuff charge through the woods creating absolute havoc and tearing stuff up, then it just stops and you see or hear nothing. One of my cousins says he had a bigfoot try to open his front door and come in his house a few years ago late one night, and that luckily he had it locked at the time, watched it through the window until it eventually walked off his porch, across the street and into the woods. While i can understand people not believing in bigfoot, theres a lot of stuff out there that makes me think people should atleast keep an open mind about it...

@bigbill why not just set a few trail cameras around your next cookout?  If you can film the bigfoots (bigfeet?) those cameras would for sure pay for themselves.

 

Or do you have any thoughts on why can't BFRO do the same?  They are the experts that make their living bringing cameras into the woods, they have the budget to produce a tv show, and they can manage to get a bigfoot "encounter" or two into every episode... but they can't get anything meaningful on film?

Yet another reason we should all own an AR-15, then there’s no doubt when it’s laying dead on the front porch!

Technically, there has been footage shot over the years... all highly disputed of course. The one that got me more than anything was the "original" Wright-Patterson footage because the "creature" in it had some distinct characteristics in its walk that most agree would be near impossible for someone in a suit at that time to have replicated. If you watch that carefully, the creature exhibits several signs of having a pretty bad leg injury. An interesting gait that a normal person couldn't replicate, suit or not, as well as signs of a muscular hernia in the thigh. Could it be sort of camera illusion? Of course it could be... interesting though. Anyone heard of bionic birds? Term I recently came across, but not sure what I think about that lol.

 

I mean, they probably don't exist, I know that... guess I just wished they did. So I can have one as a pet and eat Jack Links Beef Jerky with it of course!

while some have supposedly been shot on trail cams, they avoid them like the plague apparently. there are a few theories as to why. also stories of the cams being destroyed by bigfoot. the BFRO was never actually going to film one on the show with how things took place. though it did appear that BoBo may have had one on thermal imager before he fell down some deck stairs in florida. there are several thermal videos out there as well claiming to be of bigfoots. when possible evidence is fond, many non-bigfooter people are quick to dismiss it because they dont want to be ridiculed...

Yeah that one! Couldn't remember the proper name lol. Don't forget about those Russian kids who supposedly got attacked by Bigfoot, ran away naked from their torn up tent, then got blown up by Russian missile testing. That's one gotta be my favorite so far lol.

Bigfoot is the hide and seek champion.

There are a lot of bear in the woods. They can stand on 2 feet. The mind really does play tricks on you. I believe that some people really believe in bigfoot because of somthing they saw or heard while in the woods. I also believe that if those same people never heard of the bigfoot  legend they would not believe they saw or heard a Bigfoot.  It’s been going on  since the beginning of man. Kind of like “it was easily a 9lb. Bass!  Mythology I love it!  The Jersey Devil is real though.

Are you doubting my paper? ? It was a real assignment! Lol. Well it was an odd topic for English class, professor told us to pick some obscure topic and give our opinion on it. I actually did a very elaborate job on it, going all the way back to old Celtic legends. She was expecting an answer in the end as to whether I thought it was real or not... I left it open for the reader to decide because I didn't feel strongly enough either way. I doubt it's real though... but it was a fun topic all the same.

How is it we have the technology to send automated remote control submarines thousands of feet below the ocean surface to discover new microscopic organisms smaller than the tip of a ballpoint pen, but with modern technology we can't get solid evidence of an 8 foot tall gorilla man which lives in the forests of America ? Just some food for thought 

[Sam]

I can't believe it.

After watching last night's news I have come to the conclusion that Big Foot is John Kerry.

In my college debate class I made a strong argument as to why elephants in Africa need to use deodorants.

 

Got an A, too!

theres plenty of evidence out there. its up to you to research it or believe if its real, fake, possible or somewhere in between. apparently you(and many others) choose to just ignore it, which is fine as the topic doesnt interest everyone and thats understandable.

[fissure_man]

@Hyrule Bass the fact that the evidence out there requires a significant “belief” component to be accepted means that it’s not solid evidence. The possibility of an elusive, isolated population of unknown primates somewhere in the world is perhaps not too difficult to imagine. There are rare species that we know to exist and they are very difficult to photograph or document, and that’s because they are rarely encountered. In this capacity, the idea of a bigfoot could be plausible (IMO).

 

But this isn’t at all the model that “bigfoot culture” suggests. There are countless reported bigfoot (or variant) sightings from every corner of the globe, and especially all over the United States. How many individuals of the species would it take to maintain breeding populations all over the world? The folks from BFRO (and others) are apparently so in tune with the creatures that they can regularly put themselves in close contact with bigfoots at multiple locations – close enough to hear and interact with them, have rocks thrown in their direction, and stumble upon the not-so-discreet log “structures” that mark their territory.  None of this suggests a small, isolated population. It’s this model of a widespread, bold, but miraculously evasive “bigfoot” that’s tough to rationalize (IMO).  If there are as many of these creatures out there as even a fraction of this “evidence” would suggest, why is there no hard proof (body, skeleton, live capture)?

 

There’s loads of weak evidence in the form of eyewitness accounts, audio recordings, photos/videos, footprints, etc. and it’s all heavily scrutinized, as it should be. If the creature is real it will stand up to this scrutiny, so far it hasn’t. That’s not to say that every piece of evidence has been conclusively debunked – it’s unreasonable to expect that will ever be the case. There are many phenomena in the world that are unexplained, and while these can raise important questions and debate, they don’t offer much in the way of proof (example: “I don’t know how or why that particular tree is jammed into the ground upside down, but I also have no reason to believe it was the work of a mythical ape”)

 

It wouldn't take much hard evidence to conclusively prove that bigfoot exists (if it did), but it’s impossible for skeptics to prove that it doesn’t. So the legend will live on.
