Possible Sasquatch encounter happened last night.

[franklinstower]

It is. Thousands come forward, but one has to assume that the real number of witnesses is significantly higher. They're just hesitant and apprehensive due to the propensity for weaponized ridicule

I obviously couldn't care less about being laughed at by fools, hence my continued involvement in threads like this.

That said, I want to be clear that compulsive liars will be keen to play along too (and might make up a story just for the sake of feeding their compulsion/ need for attention), and I'm always acutely aware of that possibility when hearing someone speak out about their experience. But it's illogical to assume that every person who speaks up is of that cloth, especially when you know some of them personally. They're a small percentage, if anything.

I was in the High Uintas on vacation with my wife and we stopped at a little store where they smoke salmon and other fish from the river right there and got talking with one of the workers. She had grown up in that area and walked home from school every day on a dirt road through the woods.

On a whim I asked her if she had ever seen a bigfoot and she said she had and described an encounter while walking home with three of her friends.

I've got a friend with a second home in near vernal Utah but way up in the Uintas on that end of them and he saw one plain as day walking across a meadow early in the evening one summer.

That mountain range is pretty interesting. Its the only mountain range in the states that runs from east to west and its over 100 miles long and 50 miles wide. It's pretty vast and dangerous too. You can get lost easy up there and the storms come and go with zero warning... You never have any idea what the weather will be like even if there is not a cloud in the sky. Lots of boulder fields there too and rivers and lakes also......

I've been up there looking but don't do much of that because my wife and daughter forbid be to even hope to see one when they are with me which is most of the time. We have a Polaris Ranger and so we can really get out into some pretty remote areas but I honor their desire for me not to try and draw them in.

Yea, just about every day to some degree (hunt, hike, work, etc.). I live in a region where the creature could potentially reside (there's been reported sightings), and there's even a local organization that does research (although I'm not affiliated).

I conduct my own personal field research from time to time, and I talk to a lot of hunters and woodsmen about the topic. I bring it up in conversation often because I've found that when you're willing to put yourself out there, people will open up and confide in you about what they've encountered in the woods. Otherwise you'd likely never get it out of them, as the potential for stigmatization and ridicule is a strong deterrent.

Some hunters will laugh at you, but others won't at all.

Fraud Outdoors man alert.

Nice to know you're still swinging from my jock, as always. I almost forgot about you hanging there.

Talking shit on some delusional clown like you claiming Bigfoot everywhere isn't swinging from your fake outdoors man jock.
You're a disgrace to true outdoor /nature people you fraud.

Yea, you're on my nuts. That's why you give a fuck about what I post, while to me you're nothing but another bitch that tries to pester me by pulling on my pubes every now and then when I forget you're hanging there.

Fuck off and find another person to sweat, chump.

If you ever came out into the woods to find me, I'd leave you there.

you sound like a high schooler. "hanging on your nuts" and "pulling on my pubes"

How about you stop posting fairy tales about Sasquatch you delusional twerp

See my edit. And you and I both know what I said is true. If it wasn't, you'd not be vying for my attention right now as we speak - but you are and have been for a while now, bitch.

So for your own sake, get off my nuts.

Sad, sad individuals filled with hatred and judgment.....

Don't weaponize emotional judgement bro. Not cool.

I totally believe that everyone you run into on vacation has a personal experience with Bigfoot. They are just that common and hard to find, except by all the people you meet. The rarest "species" on the planet and you've met a dozen people who's seen it. Crazy.

Not as crazy as the rare American elephants I keep seeing on my fishing trips. They often can be found near the even more common, but still unproven, American hippos. Tons of people see them. Nobody can prove it yet, but ONE DAY THEY WILL! After all those animals exist on other continents, so it's not unrealistic that we just haven't seen them here! One day I hope to run into the Pacific Northwest Panda. That would be great. Almost as cool as that time I saw the mythical Louisiana unicorn with my buddy walking home down a long dirt road.

I wouldn't just make shit up to gullible idiots for fun.

As rare as the North American Elephant.. interesting. Apparently there were five different species of north American elephant around 13,000 years ago. Not terribly rare at all as it turns out.
Now I'd imagine in the era of the mega fauna, there was likely some bigfoot or bigfoot-like creature wandering about. The lack of fossil record is not major concern considering that fossil records are not complete. And I do believe we have enough fossil records of similar species that at least warrant a 'plausible' for the Sasquatch beast.
Native Americans have had their tales of bigfoot which predate the arrival of Europeans. So if you figure that extinction dates are far from accurate, doesn't it seem plausible that some 5,000 to 2,000 years ago could have been living in the same land as a dwindling population of bigfoot?

I don't know. There are plenty of larksters and charlatans that destroy any credibly of sighting claims. But some time you find an individual who has experienced something inexplicable and they are left with no other choice than discussing the 500 lb gorilla in the forest.
Like I said before, I can't imagine any sane person who wishes to make the statement that they saw bigfoot. However, sometimes it's what you got.

Well, they are considered extinct, so that's pretty much the extreme definition of "rare".

Well I saw an American elephant last week while fishing. The mermaid I spoke to at the Mississippi River told me that Bigfoot isn't real. Megalodon swam up and told them in a conference a month ago.

Let me know when thousands of people across cultures and generations see what you do and then maybe we will start to take it seriously.

Not only that, but the sightings correspond to the habitat and its variations (meaning when seasonal activity would be expected to shift the populations, the sightings reflect that expected shift - as was said by the biologist in the video I shared in post 348). They also correspond with annual rainfall.

Wood Ape Sightings: Correlations to Annual Rainfall Totals, Waterways, Human Population Densities and Black Bear Habitat Zones

John Green, journalist, author and renowned wood ape researcher, first touched upon the association of reported wood ape or "sasquatch" sightings and annual rainfall totals in his 1978 book Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us. Though the book was written nearly thirty years ago, the passage of time has not diminished its relevance. On the contrary, the increase of credible reports since that time has served to further validate Green’s thesis. He determined that eighty percent of the reported sightings and alleged footprint finds in North America occurred in areas receiving more than seventeen inches of annual rainfall.

http://www.theforestfleur.com/home/a-bigfoot-correlation-bigfoot-sightings-and-rainfall

Then there's the footprint data and arguable video/image/audio captures. Literally every convincing footprint ever would have had to have been hoaxed, which is a rather statistically unlikely proposition in and of itself (considering the traits of a convincing print/trackway). You only need just one to be real, out of thousands.

Yeah because people are never known to be idiots. I guess we should take everything known to man seriously because a fraction of society equal to 0.0001% of the human population claims to have seen something. Alien abductions. Ghosts. All religions. Tupac on a beach. Loch Ness. Leprechauns. All should be taken seriously because someone said they saw them despite a lack of any evidence.

What other large mammal species have we recently found floating around the woods of North America again? Since there's so much left unexplored, there must be other examples of animals like the infamous Bigfoot. Odd we can't find it looking for it despite all those people not looking for it seem to run into it, especially when actually finding it would make you one of the most famous wildlife researchers of all time.

Like I said man. When your sightings are seen across generations and in multiple cultural settings let me know. Otherwise your comparisons are wasted space and effort.

 

[Jack Stevonovich]

the sasquatch stories probably descend from folklore from misintrepting the bones of short faced bears as giant humanoid creatures or holdovers of stories from large ape creatures from East Asia before the land bridge crossing.

Monster stories are pretty common in Asian cultures where there used to be other ape like creatures or descendants of branches of other humanoid type creatures on the evolutionary chain.

It's a shame none of those sightings are from people who matter or who have this thing called a camera with focus feature.

Maybe Bigfoot is just blurry...

Because literally no other identified animal, no matter how rare, only has blurry and hard to see video and photos taken. I can point to hundreds of quality shots for literally any other animal known to walk our woods.
