Thanks for the info eanaz.

Hunters have very good camoflage, they sit in trees, but they never see one, unless Bigfoot has a better nose than other animals. & almost everybody has a cellphone & 1000s of those phones have cameras, yet no one that claims to have seen a Bigfoot has got a picture that way.

Okay, the main problem we have in this discussion is that none of you are hunters. Good ones, anyway... anyone can grab a gun and head into the woods. If there are any hunters reading this, they aren't speaking up.

You persist in thinking of bigfoot as an animal, with animal intelligence. Well guess what? Even normal animal intelligence is quite enough to outfox even good hunters. Something as intelligent as an ape or smarter- it doesn't compare. Heh, I know the mountains around my home like the back of my hand, the chances of any of you finding me if I didn't want you to are practically nil.

Quick primer so we're all on the same page. Most of you have the idea of hunting as Elmer Fudd style, i.e. walking along quietly, gun at the ready. (shh, we're hunting Bigfoots! huh huh huh huh huh)

The plain fact is that the woods are quiet, very quiet and what sounds there are that are normal are easily recognizable as such. Hunters always (and I do mean always) spook the game in the area when they even try to tiptoe to their hunting blind in the wee hours of the morning. Everything in the area hears your passage through the leaves (and you will hit leaves) and knows there is something over there on the other side of the ridge or whatever.

There the hunters sit and wait, silent as a rock until an hour or three later what game there is in the valley have forgotten them, or new game has wandered in that doesn't know they are there. I, personally, would not count on Bigfoot forgetting you are there- at the very least he would avoid the area you'd gone to ground in.

Normal sound begins again, bird calls, small rustles of leaves as scurrying animals move about. You can even narrow down what an animal is by the sounds they make as they walk. Deer have small hooves and so make small crunching noises when they step on leaves, as opposed to the larger crunch of a size 12 boot indicating a large animal.

Regardless, it's only the "shyte happens" moments like the patterson film or normal long-distance observations that enable us to know he even exists, so I wouldn't put that much faith in hunters as a reason he cannot exist.

My science teacher caused it all. Walked around norcal with plaster feet and held extra person for weight.

No, hunters don't carry cell phones to the woods with them. There is no use for a cell phone while you are hunting. We don't go into the woods to chat with friends or send texts to one another. We go into the woods to hunt. Any ring or even vibration of the phone would be heard by any animal in the area. You also have to remember that cell phones capable of taking pictures have only been around for ten years or so if that. Even so, the picture quality is so poor, unless your two feet from the subject it's going to be pretty grainy. A picture taken from a phone twenty to thirty feet away isn't going to reveal anything.

I would think a cell phone would be quite handy if you (or somebody else) happened to have an accident while hunting, such as shooting yourself, falling in a ravine, getting lost or having a heart attack. Cell phones DO have an on-off switch.

Valantor;; I don't understand your point! I don't consider sitting in a tree, in full camoflage, as hunting ELMUR FUDD STYLE, ( although I watch these shows with the Bigfoot hunters? doing just that ) I bet if you've ever set in a tree you have watched other hunters walk right past you & they didn't even know you were up there.

OK; if that is true then the Patterson film is BS, They were riding horses, horses make noise & they smell quite unfamiliar to a Bigfoot, ( unless you rub them down real good with skunk scent).

Also, your Bigfoot research site does state that most reports of seeing or hearing???? a Bigfoot occurs during hunting season.

Yeah, that's a pretty good point. We just never used them back in the 90's when I did most of my hunting. They just weren't that common and the ones they did have were too big to carry into the field with you. I'm sure a few hunters carry them on them these days but I still wouldn't carry one. I am too familiar with the areas I hunt to get lost. Too young to have a heart attack and hopefully safe enough to not have an accident. It's just too risky to lose it out in the woods. However I did always take it with me when I went boating. That's much more recent though. Couldn't risk being stuck out in a lake with no help. The chance of getting it wet was well worth it.

I think so;

In the 70s my uncle was coon hunting with his friend, the guy had a heart attack, he was too big for my uncle to carry, so uncle had to walk back to his truck & go to a nearby house to call for help.

The guy died, maybe a cell phone wouldn't have helped in this case, but who knows.

If bigfoot is the real deal, then why through all the years, there have never been any remains of a deceased bigfoot found. Surely they do not live eternal. they must die sometime, then why no remains. I'll tell you why; No bigfoot, no remains!!

Some thoerize that if Bigfoot is related to humans than it is possible they made their own graveyards. You could be walking right over one and not know it. They might be in lands where humans don't always treck.

Michaeljp, do you not read previous posts? I posted earlier about how quickly a carcass can decompose. It does not take very long. Scavangers eat what they want then the bugs take over. Within a few weeks there is almost no sign of what used to be there.

Yeah scanvengers don't need a whole bunch of time to take care of a carcass.

FYI, want to make an easy buck??

I for one am very interested in the analysis of this creature, and hope to soon give everyone a great big well-deserved "told ya so".

valantor, here is some analysis double told ya. Guess what it was a fake all along, imagine my surprise.
