But there is something out there. My dad saw one. My dad is a Baptist deacon and a lifelong hunter and logger. He has seen every animal we have. He got a good look and was not expecting it. He was not a believer and it was a bit of a shock. It was standing thigh deep in a river about a hundred yards away. When it realized it had been seen, it bounded out of the river in a way no human could ever do and certainly not one in a suit.
Most complete debunking rests on the premises it is an ape. If there is an unknown species, it has to be closer to a man and have very close to our intelligence…maybe even greater in some instances. That is a much more believable proposition. Let’s say one family group has a territory of a couple or three hundred square miles and then they migrate.
Set aside Bigfoot and imagine you had a family of Shawnee Indians who had somehow survived from the 18th century to now living in your county. They were determined to remain hidden and avoid white men. Would you ever see them? No, only if they screwed up. Would they know what a game camera was? No, but they would know enough to avoid it and they would likely know it was there when you wouldn’t think there was any way they could.
If there is something out there, it is not an animal like a bear or even an ape. It’s much more like a man or a different type of man.
Ishis relatives??
As far as something knowing a camera was there, it's possible.
Humans are a bunch of noisy fuggers in the woods. If they don't have a motorized rig of some sort half of em wouldn't hunt.
I have killed 2 turkeys that someone had rode very close to while traveling and calling from their 4 wheeler. They hear the wheeler coming and just hide and wait for danger to pass.
Same with a hunter that's just out to put up cameras. He isn't being quiet and stealthy. Half of em couldn't be quiet and sneak up on a critter if they had to. The critter knows the hunter is coming long before the hunter gets there.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
