It is disappointing that scientists, like Mr. Moody, haven’t been exposed to evidence from outside the western states. I too had a bias that bigfoot likely didn’t inhabit anything east of the Rookies, but based on the evidence, that clearly isn’t so.

Speaking of the Elkins Creek cast Sergio, a copy of this cast will be shown and discussed this Saturday during Jimmy Chilcutt’s presentation at the Bigfoot in Texas? exhibit and lecture series.

Well, it appears that Mr. Moody has some statements that perhaps he should reconcile. That is, if he dismisses most, if not all eastern US bigfoot reports, but yet at the same time puts stock in purported sasquatch dermal ridges, how does he account for the Elkins Creek track, which is one of the casts which Chilcutt thinks has legitimate dermal ridges. Where did this cast come from you ask? Georgia. There’s not a whole heckuva lotta eastern left once you reach Georgia.

Have a question (and this isn’t to negate or prove anything) - are Bigfoot migratory? Or is it presumed they stick pretty close to home all year - whether they range or not?

Interesting photo. So a man can mimick the posture. But his fingertips are nowhere near his knees. (see comment #23 there)

On the past bigfoot reports in southern Ohio I found this: This is the Portsmouth Daily Times article on Bigfoot in Shawnee Forest that I referenced previously, along with other stories of hairy hominids in the Wayne National Forest. Here we have the account of other researchers who have worked with Gilbert and Burton (the subjects of the Stanley article in the Daily Times posted above) Here are links to the pages for the Wayne and Shawnee forests.

The Wayne National Forest, which is where this event took place, is a huge tract of land. Though it isn’t exactly contiguous, it is only broken up by small farm plots, subdivisions, quarries, coal mines and other small developments. The Wayne extends from Athens County into Lawrence County where it then connects, through private tracts of rugged, forested land to the Shawnee State Forest in Scioto and Adams Counties.
This land is where the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains extend from West Virginia and Kentucky into Ohio, and it is very rugged, rural and forested.
If hairy hominids are living anywhere in the east, I’d say this is prime habitat.
Having said that, I grew up in Greenup County, Kentucky and Scioto and Adams Counties, Ohio. These are my stomping grounds, and I’ve never seen anything in those woods that I couldn’t identify. However two others close to me, whose word I trust, have told me that they heard strange noises in the Wayne and saw something unexplained while jogging in the Shawnee, respectively.
In addition, the Portsmouth Daily Times has covered reports of mystery hominids in Shawnee State Forest.
I will try to find the exact date of those newspaper reports and post that data here.

“Biology” is a vast science. People should use the word with respect. Craig certainly shows that what this Moody scientist did was far short of a comprehensive study of Bigfoot. Once again, we see a newspaper, even in their headline - “Biology Meets Bigfoot” - putting out all hype and no substance.
