I am impressed with Bigfoot. He can avoid millions of game cameras, millions of hunters equipped with cell phones and all those planes using thermal night vision when hikers go missing in those remote areas.
An absolutely amazing beast. BTW, I am curious how much food a creature of that size would need daily and how much area each day he would have to cover to supply said food? Also, how many for a breeding population? |

View Quote Sometimes those hikers are found sometimes there not, read 411 missing They are omnivores so they could survive eating nuts, berries ,plants , fish , many, many types of plants found in the forest. Area wise some migrate but an area could be 10 square miles or 100 square miles . That's like asking the area a mountain lion covers . The answer is depends on the food supply. Breeding wise is any ones guess but to sustain a population my guess is 2000 to 4000 |

When you're hunting do you walk around or sit in your stand with your phone out ready to record or take a photo? I'm a hunter and I don't.

A FUCKING LOT. This would make their range immense because they'd have to traverse a ton of area to keep sustenance (and the more they move, the more they eat). Try it sometime, go berry eating in your local woods. Or, they'd deplete a small area and die. What do they eat during the winter? Store stuff? Where? Tool makers? Where's their carts or berry stores for the hard months? Oh, do they travel to the equator during the cold months? Where are the bones of the dead ones? Sick, weak, isolated ones? How have they never been predated by large animals, hit by cars/trucks, fallen off of cliffs, or killed each other? Are they the only species of mammal in the history of nature to avoid such calamities? If they're seen in almost every state in this nation, even in ones where people occupy nearly every square mile of terrain and travel it extensively (like here in Ohio where reports are rampant), how in blue fuck have they not been shot, ran over, captured, photographed intensely, etc? The rarest bird on the planet, one that lives in a single lake so remote people seldom even see it is widely viewable in full HD color by a simple google search. There are dead specimens in museums around the world. We have it's DNA, and know it's habits and taxonomy. Yet, a giant ape that wanders ALL of the United States leaves nothing but blurry pictures. Same questions from the last 500 Bigfoot threads, btw. |

Being nocturnal their vision makes them excellent hunters during the night. They can ambush bedding deers , elk etc.. Actually finding food in my opinion isn't a strong case to prove they don't exist since that would be fairly easy for them. As to the bodies the areas they mostly live bones don't last long in that climate . As to being seen in every state . some people just lie about seeing them |

in 1997 i went with my brother and 2 other guys on a fishing trip to eagle lake in ontario canada.on the 3rd day of the trip,we decided to do a fly out 150 miles north to another lake.the guide that went with us with a native indian.this guide showed up at 6 am either already hammered or hurtin from the night before.anyway,we all got in the plane and took off.about 10 minutes into the flight,randy(the guide)was out like a light.after landing he woke up and we all pilled into some waiting boats.we fished this incredible lake for 4 hrs catching multiple trophy fish as well as several eaters.we had moved down the lake about 900 yrds from were we landed and randy said it was time for lunch!so,we went to the closest island and got all the cooking stuff and coolers out of the boat.randy started a fire and peeled those walleyes like bananas!lunch is done,were sitting there taking in the beauty when we here some noise coming from inside the island.randy advised us to get in the boat in case it was bears or moose.he said he had to take a shit and would be only a few minutes.a few minutes later,he comes out of the woods with a look on his face that was unexplained,gets in the boats very quick and immediately pins the outboard motor!my brother asked him what was goin on.he said nothing...a few minutes later he slows the boat,leans over the side and pukes.again,my bro asks if he is ok.at this point he is visibly shaking and says"we werent susposed to go there!..my brother looked perplexed and says"what do you mean"again randy says nothing..so,at this point its almost time to get picked up.now,were waiting at this dock and were telling the other guys what happened and such when a huge noise on the opposite shore suddenly sounds(about 500 yds away)and 2 moose seem to hastily jump in the lake!..i was freaked out!we all just stood there quietly watching the moose when the sound of the incoming plane was heard.it landed,we got in and flew back to the lodge.once we got back,randy got out and quickly made his way to his vehicle and took off!he was m.i.a the last 2 days of the trip.we mentioned something to a guy that worked at the lodge and he "asked us to please not spread rumors"its bad for business!...well we left and everytime a bigfoot story comes up,it jogs my memory.....sorry so long

Believing in bigfoot requires setting aside rational thought.
For the most part it's a bunch of fools following a few liars and a couple of delusional people. |

Experiencing is believing, rational thought is just a tool and your knowledge, experience, beliefs, and mental filters uniquely constrain that tool. View Quote It's far, far, far more likely that human beings experiences are susceptible to confirmation bias, filling in the blanks during stress or fear, or that they just are terrible witnesses. There's science behind all that, btw. Believing in something isn't evidence, it's just belief. Where's the bones, the bodies, the DNA, the fossil record, the unmistakable photographic proof? For so many to have seen, something that is real, it would be out there (and probably quite a bit of it). Hell, if it were real just based on the number of sightings we'd probably have them in zoos by now. |

I cannot prove it does not exist
I cannot prove it does exist Therefore I cannot argue either way, but I do believe its possible. stranger things have happen than discovering an undocumented species. |

I know we're trying here but I don't see this thread being as epic as the last.
Its going to be 8 pages of a circle jerk "I have evidence!" "where is it?" "I can't show you" "I don't believe you" "thats because your brain won't let you man" |

Have we progressed to the "the reason there is no biological evidence is because BF is an extra dimensional or supernatural boogeyman" stage yet?
That's the escape hatch for believers who know they're defending fiction... usually right after "I have conclusive evidence but I won't show you." |

Prior to trump getting in office I generally believed the bigfoot threads had more truth in them than what politicians let fall out of their mouth.
Pick on bigfoot threads all you want, elected officials have taught a whole lot of folks that it is more likely to find a bigfoot in the woods than an honest politician. |

listen I want bigfoot to be real as much as the next person but this part in bold is complete bullshit. There are maybe 2 or 3 videos out there that are interesting but really don't prove anything.

I think it would be really fucking cool if one or more of these creatures existed. But, i have to side with the no evidence group on this one. How in the world has a creature this big, not been found (dead or alive,) shot/hunted, left skeletal remains, dung, etc.. I'm not a scientist, and correct me if I'm wrong, but don't we know of every single land creature on this planet? Maybe 100 years ago, it would be more believable, but with all the technology these days & population growth into areas that were once uninhabited, I just can't see it. Occam's razor & all that.

Fool, Liar or Delusional.
If your a "believer" you almost certainly fit one of those three camps. If you play the "well it can't be ruled out" camp then your bordering the fool boundary. |

I have spent many wasted hours with 3 different groups. I really wanted to believe, I wanted to believe my friends actually saw something amazing. BUT I went in pretty skeptical and while other considered themselves skeptical, they were wishful thinkers more than anything else.. Moneymaker and his cult DO NOT like real skepticism. Want to be alinentated and have a piee of shit like him try to character assassinate? Be skeptical of shaky evidence. There is no evidence but wishful thinking. View Quote |
