Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do you believe ? Bigfoot ?

Apparently for the same reason that hunters want the biggest and best of any species on the wall. This would be the biggest, the best, and the onlyest.

I would bet you have not read one book on the subject in which you pretend to be an expert. Teddy Roosevelt wrote in the "Wilderness Hunter" about a mountain man who said exactly what you say never happened. Do some research on the subject. There are newspaper articles dating back to the 1680's and into the 1900's talking about bigfoot, wildmen, and giants. The Native Americans have known of their existence long before a white man ever set foot on this land. Sasquatch is probably one the easiest things to prove if you look into it.

You say the events concerning Boone and Crockett are somehow are meaningless. How do events published after someone dies discredit what is said? The New Testament was written after Jesus was dead, so by your reasoning I guess he did not exist or rise from the dead?

Here is the truth. The powerful elites have controlled what we see and what we hear and what we read for a long time. Would Fox News or CNN have to tell you that Sasquatch are real? How about a college professor? Or better yet, how about one of those 3-letter government agencies? They have a great track record for telling the truth in recent times, i.e. Kennedy's Assassination, Weapons of Mass Destruction, The 911 Report, Covid 19. We have been conditioned to seek answers from the places that the elites control. We are led around by the nose given just enough grain and theater to keep us from getting too upset. We are always in an endless loop of war with some enemy to unite us all. We are always divided (Republican/Democrat, Black/White, Pro-Life/Pro-Choice, Stand for the anthem/kneel for the anthem). They don't want us to like or talk to each other. Otherwise we would unite and go to each other for answers/solutions instead of them.

Imagine if the person you trusted the most in this world came to you and said they saw a Sasquatch. Would you call them gullible? Would you question their grey matter? If you did, you are merely doing what you have been programmed to do. Conditioned to laugh and make fun of anyone who disagrees with what you have been taught. We the people have the power not them.

Here is another thing to consider. What if there is another being on this planet who shares DNA with humans, does not need fire or clothing to survive, can travel anywhere on this planet, does not pay taxes, or swear an allegiance to any country? Don't you think those who control us would hate for that to come out? We wouldn't need them, would we? We have been fooled and tricked into forgetting why we are here, what we can really do, and who is really in charge. A Great Awakening is happening and many things are coming to light. Keep an open mind and don't let them turn us against each other.

Surveyors, prospectors, timber cruisers, rockhounds, hunters of every type- cats, bears, elk, sheep, deer, mushrooms, birds, etc, fur trappers, thru-hikers, Rock scramblers and mountain climbers, botanists (ever read about some of the hikes that David Douglas went on? How about that poor bugger John Day?), desperados and the men that chased them, snowmobilers, ice climbers, etc etc etc. The list is nearly endless.

As dear and important to our Western psyches as true wilderness is, I believe ALL of the PNW has been walked on. Sure there are some small pockets that are less often visited.. and even less often than that talked about by the guys that regularly hunt them, but still..

Geno, More than 40 years ago I was getting out the old 1950s topos of our beloved High Sierras and looking specifically for small lakes that had no name and no trail associated. I'd spend a couple of weeks each summer building a x-country loop trail of my own to visit these places. If *I* was doing it... Well... I'm sure it wasn't the only fella that came up with the idea.

So many seem quick to deny the existence of something they know little or nothing about.

It's not as if they claim for it to have been seen walking on water or rising from the dead.

They are just out there layin' low and doing the stuff that they do.

Oh boy.....So there is an army of Bigfoots (Bigfeet?) out there that the Gov't is hiding from us? Got it.

Unless these things have all been signed up for high-quality Obamacare, sooner or later one of them is going to die.......

I will be waiting.

Why would American natives call them skunk apes? There are no apes of any kind north of central America. What would they be comparing them to?
