I figure this group collectively spends lots of time in heavily forested remote areas. Has anyone ever seen a Sasquatch??? | ||

I spent a great deal of time working for the Forest Service in an area that was alleged to have a number of bigfoot sightings. I was in nearly every canyon, on every trail and fought fire all over that forest and never once found anything that made me think bigfoot might exist. The local bigfoot hunter was himself a huge man and the only one locally to have ever seen sign of this mythical creature. It's interesting to note that there was never a sighting during an open bear season. I suppose the risk of being mistaken for a bear whilst wearing an ape suit is to great a risk for even the most dedicated huckster. It's also interesting that when this bigfoot hunter left the area the sightings and discovery of sign ceased in the area. They did of course start showing up in his new area. I always found it interesting that for being out of work and almost never leaving the house this individual always seemed to find sign on his rare trips afield. No, I have never seen bigfoot nor do I believe has anyone else. Mart "...I advise the gun.

There is no bigfoot as you will soon understand. Near where I grew up there was local version of the Big Foot called the Caddo Critter. The Caddo Critter was always seen on Friday and Saturday nights which means that the probability of a Critter sighting was directly in proportion to to amount of alcohol being consumed. This area has a very high population of whitetail deer and therefore deer hunters. These hunters have never shot a Big Foot nor found a dead one. Nor have any other hunters anywhere shot or found a big foot carcass. Not only that, but with all the miles driven by all the drivers in the US no one has ever reported killing a big foot nor has a big foot road kill ever been found. On top of all of this evidence, neither the native peoples of North America nor the Cajuns have a recipe for Big Foot. Based on this it is very difficult to conclude that Big Foot can exist. | |||

To take this down another avenue, how many folks have actually seen a "Black" panther in the wild anywhere in North America????? Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

I hear they can be sighted near Urban voting locations. ______________________ Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. | |||

I had heard that also, but I am thinking more along the lines of the kind that get around on all fours, not just when they are drunk or stoned.  Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

Lots of black panthers are seen. I even own a Russian blue one. They all look huge in the woods until they ambush a squirrel or walk down a railroad rail. Once you find something for scale in the photo or video with them, the lies tend to die down. | |||

When I was in high school I went to a going away party for a British girl that had spent the summer with her American cousins in the rural US near the land of the Caddo Critter above. I was there for the girls but not being a beer drinker made the party sort of a drag. I soon climbed the 40 feet or so up the dam to look at the lake in the moon light. Immediately my profile was noticed by one of the more alcohol impaired members of the group. The rest immediately grabbed dead tree limbs and headed into the brush and up the dam to do battle with the Caddo Critter. I made a lot of noise in the brush and they got very quiet for a second, While they were chugalugging some more liquid courage I snuck down the dam aways and walked down a clear path back to my car. Upon my arrival I was spotted by the cousin if the British girl. We smiled at each other- she did not drink either- and so I went into history as another sighting of the Caddo Critter that night. The rest of the gang looked for a while but they soon grew thristy and gave up the hunt convinced that the Caddo Critter was a coward. | |||

I would never count sighting one as proof of anything. A carcass maybe, a sighting never. Here kitty, kitty, kitty want a sip of my Bud? | |||

In regards to the black panther sighting, I have seen one. We were hog hunting near Cameron, Texas in February of 2000. I was in a stand overlooking a semi cleared area about dusk. A whitetail doe came across my area at a fast trot. I can't really describe it, but she seemed to be acting weird, and I have never seen a deer's body language like that before or since. I would guess that about 5-10 minutes after she passed I saw a black animal coming towards me across the clearing about 100 yards away or so. I thought at first that it was a hog, but the shape as it was walking directly towards me was not hog-like. When it came around a slight finger of brush sticking out into the clearing it turned to the left and I got to see it in full silhouettte, long tail and all. I have no doubt what it was. I huried doen from my stand and ran to a fenceline about 50 yards away, hoping that I would catch it in the open again and get a shot, but it either beat me across or changed direction after seeing/hearing me because I never saw it again. I wish now I would have been a little quicker to recognize it, it would have been an easy shot from where I was. I had never seen a cat in the wild before and wasn't expecting what I saw. The rancher who owned the land we were on told us he had seen it several times and we did find some big tracks later on. He had reported his sightings and the local game warden had investigated, but they told him he was mistaken. | |||

 Europeans came to America in the late 1400's early 1500's, Indians were here for a while before that. It is now 2013. How come there has NEVER been one of these animals killed/run over/caught in a trap, or a real clear picture of one showed up on a game cam? Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

One was surpose to sighted in this area a few years back. I heard through my son that some high school kids had gotten their hands on a gorilla suit. they were showing up with it along roads and trail just enough to barely be seen. It ended when I told him that the next time it was seen we were going to but the bear hounds on the track and let them run it down. | |||

Some members of the BFRO (Bigfoot Researchers Organization) went looking for bigfoots in the Salt Fork State Park which isn't far from where I live in OHIO no less. Supposedly the area looked "squatchy" and they were pretty sure there were bigfoots around even though they never found one. Besides no road kills, etc., there is the snow factor. I can understand that bigfoots may be very smart so don't get seen often and that they might bury their dead. What I can't understand is how bigfoots manage to live in areas where it snows during the winter and yet hardly ever leave any tracks. If they were that common, seeing tracks would be a LOT more common than it is. | |||

An American Indian fellow on Grey Beards forum explained all these problems with Big Foot. Big Foot is a multidimensional creature that takes it/s dead back to it's home dimension. It is attracted to the smell of frying bacon. They communicate by pounding on hollow trees but their presence interferes with electronics and recording devices. There, now you can believe again... ****************** "Policies making areas "gun free" provide a sense of safety to those who engage in magical thinking..." Glenn Harlan Reynolds | |||

We used to have lots of them here in the desert hills of AZ. But, during the dirty-thirties we all got so hungry we done exterminated all the vast numbers of bigfoot, rhino, Himalayan snow leopards, and polar bears that thrived 'round here up 'til then. When it came to better times we re-stocked with elk, antelope and wild turkeys which tasted better anyhow. So the bigfoots never did get re-introduced.... Oh well, they was jest naturally pretty salty, like any other "long pork". No big loss.   | |||

Myself, my father and a family friend named Joe all saw one together. This was almost 20 years ago but Dad and I were hunting quail with Joe on his farm. We were walking on skidder trail thru a finger of woods that separated two clear cut areas. Crested a small hill and there at the bottom of the hill about 40 yards away was, what I thought, was a black lab. No sooner did we see it that it took off running. We got a good look at it as it ran from our left to right before it was out of sight. It was for sure a big black cat. We were all kind of shocked and Joe said that people in the area had reported seeing it before. A few weeks later Joe told us that it had killed one of his calfs and that it had run across the road in front of his wife when she was coming home from work. I have told a lot of people about this and some call BS but its true. Sadly Joe is no longer with us, but my father was there and remembers it very clearly. As a matter of fact, we were talking about last week when I was home for Christmas. On another note, someone killed a regular colored cougar just a few miles from Joe’s place about 7 or 8 years ago. I saw the pics and talked to the game warden about it and what we saw. He said the DNR guys thought it was one someone had in captivity that got loose. 30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking. | |||

That's funny! Never in recorded history has anyone EVER documented a Black ( or Melanistic Cougar, Mountain Lion ) on the North American Continent. Nope not once. Google it. Really. Kinda like Ol' Bigfoot, beerfocals, bad light, house cat.........not a Black Panther..... Lot's of people swear to seeing them.....no one ever killed one, no one ever hit one with a truck..........nothin' nada, zip. Kinda like bigfoot. . | |||
|
| One of Us |
I agree, it is funny and I have read the same information on the internet regarding a melanistic cougar. I have no idea if it was a black cougar, jaguar, leopard or what. Just that it was a big black cat and was not a dog or a house cat. I have seen cougars up close and would say it was bigger than that. Leopard or jaguar would be my guess. Given the proximity of where we were to the cougar that was killed later and was ID'd as being a captive reared cat, my theory is that someone is illegally keeping big cats in the area. 30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking. | |||

The wolf was hunted to virtual extinction in the lower 48. The Grizzly was nearly wiped out in the lower 48. The buffalo was nearly exterminated in the lower 48. The beaver was nearly trapped out in the western states. This was done by men that hunted and killed for a living. Yet not one of these guys ever shot a bigfoot. If it existed, there would be a carcass somewhere. Since the North American Continent was settled the trappers and hunters went into every nook and cranny. Not one of them ever killed a bigfoot yet they killed everything else. The thing simply does not exist. Never has. Been a legend from day 1. | |||

Year was 1966 and I was rideing back to Nacogdoches Tx. from Houston area with a fellow college mate (we attended Stephen F. Austin University). We'd gotten a late start returning to Nacogdoches, its around 11 P.M. and I'm half asleep in passenger seat. We were between Lufkin and Nacogdoches when my buddy begans yelling at me to wake up and look ahead of car. Bsck then the highway we are on was a two lane one, now a divided 4 lane. I immediately became wide awake and looked out windshield....he'd put headlights on high beam. I scanned the road and saw what he was yelling about just a few strides before it left the beams of the headlights, I saw what he was yelling about. Honestly, I did not see the critters head, due to angle it was running, just saw from the neck to tip of its tail. First thing my buddy will say was to ask me was "what did you see?" My response was: my first impression "it was a large black dog, but no way it was a dog because of the way it ran and way its tail was held was could it have been a dog.....it was a very large black cat." My college buddy, who'd observed the critter the whole time it'd ran across the road will tell me I was right, it was a very large black cat....the so called black panther. As to big foot, back in the early 70s, worked in an auto parts store outside of Houston. Gent began coming into store who was from somewhere in NW Louisianna. Gent one day recounted a story about his meeting "big foot" when a young teenager. Told me of legend of such a creature in his remote/rural area and that he didn't believe it. Then one night he'd gone coon hunting and met up with the creature. Told me he'd come face to face with it, promptly dropped his 22 rifle and didn't stop running till he got back to his home. Guy was illiterate, couldn't read. I questioned him about his big foot and he was quite offended that I didn't quite believe his story. He never returned to our auto parts store. | |||

I came out of the woods ( Crawford Co. Il conservation area ) some years back and was putting my shotgun back in the truck when I spotted a large black cat across the road in a cut field. I got my binoculars on him and could clearly see tabby like stripes on the black coat and a long sweeping tail, not a black phase bobcat for sure. I estimate it was the size of an average coyote. I contacted the DNR about it but never was contacted by them. | |||
