My mom and dad were bumpin nasties in a VW back in the 70's and had a bigfoot tap on the roof and look in the window. Dad had to pick mom up and move her to the passenger seat she was so scared. People flew in from everywhere to find it. Kind of funny that in the same river drainage I had a similar experiance, not bumping nasties but with a run in with something that could throw big rocks into the river. I havent been back since. I dunno.........anyone want to go look for him with me?
I am honestly speechless.... Charlie thats a little strange man! haha

If you use Google Earth, you can turn on a layer for the Bigfoot Society (or something like that) and it puts placemarks all over hell and gone with short descriptions of the sighting, date, time, etc. These aren't remote areas either, some near Lacey and Olympia, WA, etc.

Same song second verse. Lake at the end of a 5 mile dirt road. Right after dark. BIG rocks. No light, no gun... fired up the Powerstroke and tried headlighting across the lake, but couldn't see anything.

as i bent down to open the cooler something made a noise and stud up. it was about 1 foot taller then me and smelled worse then any of the guys i was with. they had been camping for 1 week with no showers :chuckle:. i took off running scared *censored*less.
it had rained that night before this encounter, and then next morning we checked for prints and found nothing. strangley enough the 10" round tree our cooler was chained to was broken over and the lip to the cooler was ripped off.
the encounter with the rock throwing was with us walking along a very steep slope. the top of this slope was all rock with most being about the size of a basketball and some alot bigger. there was a line of trees about 70ft or so along this trail with nothing up hill or below the trees. as we got halfway along the slope a couple rocks hit the trees infront of us. now usually it wouldnt bug me but these rocks hit about 30ft above us in the trees. no possible way for them to get that much momentum and bounce off the hill to hit that hi. as the top of the hill was only 40yd or so above us. we stood there just looking up in pure shock not having any idea what had just happened. the scary part was just about to happen. as we were just standing there looking up another rock came flying over there edge right towards up. it sure didnt take long for us to get the hell out of there.
now i was never interested in bigfoot and really i am not now. i had no idea what he/she was known for so i figured it was just people f'n with us.
a couple months later i watched my first bigfoot show. and there were talking about im throwing big rocks and smelling very bad and also knocking over small trees in a pattern sence to mark areas.
strange to say the least

Footprints are easy to fake. Mechanical weathering can trigger unexpected rock slides and the occassional boulder breaking loose. Again, not calling anyone a liar, just saying it's possible for rocks to come tumbling down unexpectedly. It's happened for millions of years on steep slopes. Now, if you're on flat ground and a 150 pound rock comes at you sideways, then I think there's something compelling to investigate!
Would love to think there's something out there but logic says otherwise. They have to eat, poop, drink, etc., just like the rest of us and every living creature on earth. No concrete evidence exists anywhere to prove they exist. This day and age, I don't even believe video footage no matter how "real" it appears. If Hollywood can make outerspace battles look real, I'm pretty sure someone can make a realistic jiggly video of a Bigfoot eating whistle pigs or some other tasty nugget.
Just my pesimistic opinion ;)

The rocks that I had hitting the water were one at a time and lasted for a couple minutes, at a rate of a rock per 20 seconds or so. I couldnt see them, it was just around the corner. I was thinking maybee it could have been a beaver slapping his tail on the water though :dunno: Sounded more like big rocks to me though. But when your scared your mind begins to wander a bit :chuckle: BIGFOOT! :yike:
yeah the rocks i had flying at me had no possible way of breaking that far away from the slope and at that distance. they would have had to shoot straight out from the top of the slope to make it that far up the tree in a that short of a drop.

The description of the critter would leave him with quite an appetite. One that would lend him/her to needing to eat meat in addition to forage, especially in spring and summer when there's not going to be quality browse for an omnivore that weighs 600 lbs. So what? Well, anyone ever seen snow? It's that stuff that falls in spring and fall. Even if we didn't see the guy, his presence should be all but impossible to hide once it snows. Can he levitate? leave just 2 prints in the snow then get on his hover craft? Even hibernating animals (of which there are no primates) are active and about in times with snow. Where's the tracks?
Back to that hibernation thing. To believe in footasaurusrex you have to think it hibernates. The reason is that while there's a bunch of wilderness back country terrain a critter can hide in in summer, there isn't in winter. All the migrating Footuses would have to move to lowlands to follow the game. Even if they could live on Needles alone a huge bi-pede couldn't navigate in that much snow (I guess they have snow shoes too so they don't have to post hole?). Anyone ever have to post hole? Do you weigh 500 lbs? They'd have to move down or hibernate, where of course we would see their many tracks in the snow. But apparently what we have here is a 100% vegetarian primate, that can survive on pine/fir needles alone, that hibernates and leaves GIANT footprints in sand but floats over snow. Neat trick indeed.
Hmm I wonder, might it be that guys that want to create Bigusbig tracks can't do it in the snow because, well, they couldn't hide their own tracks while making them? Nahhhhhhh.
No den site ever been located? Not even an old one with hair. No turds (which would recover DNA). Not only is this critter evading modern technology, including trail cams... he's NEVER ever ever been found and preserved by Native Americans. They've never found his skull or femur. They never killed one and tanned it's hide. This thing has avoided for thousands of years even 1 piece of physical evidence ever being found while co-habitating with humans. Oh and then there's the viable population thing... This thing has maintained viability as a giant primate with our inherent low birth rates and long investment in bringing youth to both physical and sexual maturity. It has managed to avoid extinction at an unbelievably low population spread across huge amounts of habitat.
There are more reasons to ignore this, but that's plenty for now.

Snowspeeders...or possibly the Millenium Falcon. It all makes sense, the physcial descriptions of bigfoot are identical to a Wookie!!!
Its well known that the Wookies return to their home planet Kashyyyk during the winter via snowspeeders or in Chewy's case the Millenium Falcon! my :twocents: jk jk

If bigfoot doesn't exist why is it illegal to kill one. Also if there is no bigfoot and people knew that then we would face more traffic in our hunting grounds, so maybe its best that people in general remain scared of it.
I personally do not know one person who is afraid to go into the woods because of bigfoot. That's a new one to me! :chuckle:

Those tribes that didn't believe in white man were sequestered by geography and technology. I'm not sure how that's analogous?
Also, we have infra-red technology now too. You can fly over the forrest with IR sensors and make out clearly; deer, elk, bears etc. Are they cold blooded too?
I don't discount what people believe they have seen. But I'm aware that people are notoriously and scientifically bad eye witnesses under stress. I'm sure people think they've seen him and I'm sure it doesn't exist.

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... :chuckle:

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?

I've personally never had any odd experiences and have spent too much time in the woods to believe in any sort of primate still living out there....
I personally don't understand the whole rock throwing thing..... I mean seriously, if there were a bigfoot and it had the capabilities of throwing these huge rocks people speak of, I'd think one would be capable of hitting you with a rock....
I know I've contemplated going out and screwing with people that are camped in the back 40 but you have to have some pretty big balls to do so, I know I'm always packing when I'm out camping....
