BIGFOOT

[mikeal1234]

the only thing unnerving in the  pnw west is the idea of some ass with a gun mistaking me for a deer... second they also dated the trilobites to thousand of years ago so ur point is ........... my point is is bigfoot can very pausibly be something that we beleive to be extinct... oh and btw just how much of the pnw has had someone flying over at all times of day and night with infared......... oh here is another question why was the mount st helens area so feard by native americans who claimed there was beast who had stories of great haired beast that ate people in that region. why was it more feard then other regions around...  and why is the so many scientist paying so much to investigate the possibility of the bigfoot and skunk ape and and other such research into  large unknown primates around the world........... hell who knows maybe bigfoot is nothing more thenj aliens who come to torment people in the woods throwing rocks and screaming then going back taking and keeping servaleince on us going hey look at them stupid fools they are still looking for us ..................... always possible........ thats the point  nothing is impossible no matter how inprobable

Look how long it has taken for people to realize that we have wolves in Washington state. My dad saw wolves in the 70's in this state. But if you asked an official they didn't exist, or you must have seen a big coyote, or some other excuse. Most people out there have never been more than a mile from a road. Think how much there is out there past that mile. I really thought about this a lot when I drove back from Alaska this year, 400 miles at a time of nothing, no one. Why couldn't there be a relatively smart primate out there. Even if they had the intelligence of an ape they would have the concept of what a predator is "man" and try and avoid it. Besides, its kind of fun to think there is something else out there. From a scientific point of view the U of I has hair evidence and DNA evidence from British Columbia of a non known primate. Until some brings one in dead the world will not believe.

I shoot at the gun range in Republic all the time and there is an oldtimer that hands out down there (he can shoot a pistol better than anyone I've ever seen) and has some very convincing stories of bigfoot from when he was a kid. One that really sticks out in his head was when he was helping develop the road across Sherman Pass in the 50's and the road crew saw a very large unknown creature cross the road ahead of them. His crew told him about it that afternoon. The next day he went up there and followed the tracks in the snow for over two miles. he was on cross-country skies. The animal crossed a log at one point that was a foot off the ground and had two feet of snow on it and didn't even graze the top of it. he obviously never found the animal. At one point he thought the animal started making odd loops and doubling back as if it new he was following him.

The Indians of the Res just to the south of Republic have always had a great respect for the beast. They also never hunt alone because of fear of the creature.

He had several other really good stories but I don't want to take up your entire day...

I actually find it more unnerving that someone who eats tofu, may succeed in taking away my hunting rights. Natives also used to think thunder was the gods being mad...go figure!

No one said I was afraid of it, I would say really interested....

Those dark rainy days in the middle of nowhere dark timber is unnerving once you start thinking about sasquatch because you cant get it out of your head. sometimes i think i will see him behind a tree going like this

hell im more worried about  having just feild dressed a dear and have a bear or cat stalk me. if bigfoot did step out in front of me or i caught a glimps of him then i would be in to much awe to fear him. then again if u fear whats out there then why u out there. btw new species of animals are being discovered all over the world. normaly not by infered but straight out hicking into places where their are no trail remote places where people dont go and u cant tell me that their aint places  that are that remote here in wa state. there are places nbeleive it or not no man has walked through in a hounded years caves that aint been explored old mines that litter the pacific north west that people abandoned and never returned. the possibilities abound for bigfoot and untill every space is acupied at one time by man in was state then i will beleiev their is no pausibility

print only has 4 toes? i dunno what the hell made it but it wasn't very old. looked to have stepped out of the brush, in the sand then right in to the lake. no other tracks anywhere around. it looked kinda fake to me,  needless to say the girlfriend made it VERY clear we were not camping there... i was ok with that.

Maybe a bigfoot made a fake track with that stick next to it?

 OH, My wife took a photo of what she thought at the time was a bear ac cross the hill from her.This was out of the Mt rainier area.  When we blew it up , because it was so far away, it had a cone shaped head and broad shoulders and was standing up right and tall as the 20 ft. jack firs. Not a bear. Gave the  pictures to the authorities and it went into the bigfoot files after authentication. That was back in the late 80's...I DONO ....
