ok.. you must be right."Nothing in this area can do that other than humans."
Right. Nothing. Aside from any herbivore/omnivore in the world, especially when grazing and mistakenly uprooting a distasteful specimen: They spit it out immediately. The list of species I have witnessed do this hundreds...maybe thousands... of times includes Deer, Elk, Antelope, Sheep, Goats, Bears, and my horses (multiple times each and every day).
How far off the beaten path did you go to see the signs; not far from the car if I remember you saying.So one thing I've noticed in this thread is that people come in with their own pre conceived notions of reality, and use their words to press their interpretation of reality onto others. It's understandable, and is human nature.
However, any more conversation about the matter ultimately won't accomplish anything because no one, on either side, will abandon their concept of reality. Some are believers and some aren't, and neither side will concede.
I do appreciate those who have come forward publicly, and to those who sent me PMs about your encounters I appreciate it and will respond to your messages as I have time.
I am convinced, based on my own encounter I described, and encounters others have had that the Sasquatch is real. They are extremely intelligent, have culture, and I believe bury their dead and avoid us as much as they can.
The last thing that I'll say here is a response to those who say oh there's thousands of hunters in the woods, game cameras etc etc. You're right! There are hunters in these woods, myself among them. People do place game cameras.
But let's be realistic. How far off of the beaten path does your average hunter go? We all know just how thick and difficult the vegetation is to move around here. There are a lot of places where you cannot see in front of you due to how tall the grasses and shrubbery is, and how unsure the footing is with all the rotting logs stick etc. So! Knowing all that we know that human encroachment into the wilds of the PNW is relegated almost exclusively to the logging roads, clear cuts, and clearings that are traversable. It really is damn near impossible to get "way out there" and I believe the Sasquatch are aware of that and live in areas that are difficult for humans to reach.
This is highly inaccurate.So! Knowing all that we know that human encroachment into the wilds of the PNW is relegated almost exclusively to the logging roads, clear cuts, and clearings that are traversable. It really is damn near impossible to get "way out there"

I have spent literally most of my life
Camping, hiking, hunting etc. and your feet can take you places nothing else can - and mine have and often far from roads and clear cuts.
The woods are very accessible by foot if you take the time to plan carefully so as avoid impassible areas and to not get lost.
I have hiked many miles into beautiful country I would have never seen if I had not got past the 'logging
Roads' and 'clear cuts'.
Try it sometime because if you do a whole new world opens up!
Well a large part of my woods traveling took place during the time before computers so I relied heavily on FS maps and a compass. I also made sure to always rely on landmarks when navigating.How do you determine an area is passable or not befor you get there?

I was thinking. I'm guessing that mr. Bigfoot would be mostly the same makeup as a regular human. With that said, even with his loose hair he couldn't make it through Shoer cold winters without structures or fire. Even us humans with awesome down coats at some point get cold outside.
Maybe that's why Bigfoot hasn't been seen in Alaska? Or Montana?
"Some are believers and some aren't...."
Which entirely neglects those of us who would LOVE to be convinced (by methodical and objective means).
As to travel in the woods, reading this made me sad to know there are persons who are convinced our woods are impenetrable and who have not had the intense joy of going far off the beaten path to experience what is out there. EVERY time I go, I see something I have NEVER seen before, sometimes may NEVER see again. I also see things often that I simply cannot explain. But the effort to explain them must be done by procedure and process. Speculation and imagination are not to be discarded but they are not avenues to answers, they are the starting place.
I will state again: I place great value on the legend. Especially now that I know the legend may play a small part toward keeping some (perhaps more timid/less critical than myself) out of the deep wild.
After watching the missing 411, and missing 411 "the hunted" I definitely do see the woods differently. Unarmed humans are the perfect prey.
