Sasquatch encounters?

sams said:
There are specific web sites but try google, I don't want to mention other sites on the forum. Google a few different sentence structures and I'm sure you will find your answers.

I do not want to imply there are "creatures", I find it interesting reading. Approach the topic with an inquisitive mind and you will be able to come up with good pausible possibiites.

I'm up for an interesting read, but a hint would be good.
- continental movements
-historical migration
-naval animals
Please give me some key words.

The Eastern cougar is listed as extinct by the USFWS. Which is surprising to those of us that see them and find their tracks and scat on a regular basis...

Modern history is filled with examples of science denying the existence of something only to be proven wrong...again and again. As a group, we're not very bright, but we're very cocky. That's a bad combination. I love the "Laws" of science and physics. They are concrete laws.....until we discover they're wrong and have to change them. A great example is "dark matter/energy". The universe only works a certain way, but when it doesn't work within these "laws", it's because of some unknown force or matter we have yet to know anything about. From what I understand, scientists have wholly embraced this dark matter/energy concept, even though the only proof it exists is that things don't always go the way the laws of physics say they should:) Science, like alcohol, is best taken in moderation.

zero evidence other than "footprints". no fossil records or physical evidence=no animal. Ive spent my life in the Canadian wilderness and have known numerous trappers, miners, hunters etc that spend their lives in remote areas and NEVER heard of a single incident. Untill someone has it tied to their hood Im gonna call bull

The lack of modern remains is troublesome, but I have have spent decades in the woods and rarely even have come across shed antlers. Even though I've lived and roamed in some of the most concentrated white-tailed deer habitat in North America. I've never ever found a coyote, bobcat, or mountain lion skull, unless it was hanging on a fence. I've only seen one mountain lion (which I was sure about) despite decades in south and west Texas. Canada has Grizzly bears. How many Griz skulls have you run across? None of these animals even come close to the intelligence of a great ape, or especially a humanoid which could possibly have a primative burial concept.

As for fossil evidence, look up Gigantopithecus. Just something to ponder. Take care.

Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence.

What's 'Quatch's EDC? Knife, flashlight? Probably not a comb.

Funny you should bring up the topic of flashlights. The "night investigations" shown on TV imply squatch are nocturnal. Many sightings occure at night or in low light conditions. However squatch are primates and we aren't known for our nocturnal prowess. Those primates who are good at it must have large eyes to compensate. Not all mammal eyes are alike. So unless squatch are really Thunder Cats how do they pull it off. Or is this another example of bigfoot having magical powers?

All that said your question is a good one.

Squatch EDC.

1. Flashlight is a Surefire 6P. Yup the original Incan. Maybe LED technology hasn't hit the woods yet or Bigfoot is a hot wire purest? Another mystery.

2. Like kindred spirits on Bladeforums Bigfoot packs multiple knives. A Becker BK2 and SAK tinker. Don't ask how I know this.

3. Bigfoot packs no firestarting kit. He uses hand drill methodology with materials gathered at the time of need.

Absence of evidence isn't evidence of presence either.

Some evidence would be helpful. So far, none. Nada. Not blood, hair or tissue. Nothing. And yes, I have found animal skeletons and shed antlers in the woods. But nary a squatch bone. And neither has anyone else. And as I have said, con artists abound. There is money in propagating the legends and fakery.

Exactly. The claim is extraordinary and evidence is smoke and mirrors.
 
Eventually, with enough searching, an absence of findings becomes evidence.
Granted, it is low grade & indefinite, but a certain style of evidence nonetheless.

True. There are people who don't believe the world is round however this isn't really a matter of the skeptics being stubborn. For example 8 years ago someone in the gym told me he seen a cougar walking past his tree stand. I listened to his good description of a cougar. The person wasn't known to me as a lair so despite the "fact" cougars don't live anyplace near CT I didn't disregard his story but didn't accept it totally because an honest person can be honestly mistaken. Or maybe who I believed was honest might be less so. Then I heard more reports. So the increased evidence added weight to the first person's claim. However the claim was extraordinary and required strong evidence. Why? If someone lied about seeing a big buck or a bob cat as these animals are known to live in the State they don't have to provide the same proof as someone claiming to see a polar bear. About 5 years later a cougar was hit on the Merritt parkway a few towns over. So now the the person's claim to have seen a cougar is supported by other witnesses and finally a body. His claim was extraordinary therefor the proof must be equally conclusive.
 
There must be bigfoot creatures because you've never seen an antler shed or bear skull? LOL.
(Around here sheds are collected by the truckload. Bear skulls are somewhat less common because bears don't lose their heads every year.)

Some DNA evidence would suffice. There was a recent scientific project to test hair samples from 'known' bigfoot sightings. They had hair from horses, bears, porcupines... but not a single sample from an unknown species.
Unlike the silly Bigfoot Searcher shows on television, this was a three-part documentary outlining an actual scientific study by a world famous DNA expert. The show was on par with the high quality of Nova, but I think it was on National Geographic.

Funny how Finding Bigfoot has been on television for four years, and they've yet to actually find a bigfoot. LOL. Keep on milking it!
 
Hey, you're dissing my favorite show. Okay, Honey Boo Boo and Long Island Medium are my absolute favs, but Finding Bigfoot is a close third.
