OK gang, I don’t care if you like MM or the rest of the gang or not. If you’re a Bigfoot hunter, Cryptozoologist or just interested in the process, the only thing you should be concerned with is hoping the show makes it for season two. I am in total agreement that the show has got to stop making or jumping to wild conclusions without any evidence to back it up. It needs actual scientific research done on any evidence that is collected. Be it urine, feces, blood, casts, whatever.

I want this show to work, I don’t care if Donald Duck is in charge. Whoever is producing this show needs to figure out, and fast, how to make it more realistic and credible. Or people will leave it in droves, if they haven’t already. I don’t care who’s telling the truth about ratings from last season. I don’t care if MM is in it to make money as long as he does good research in the process. Some one said that Ghost hunters have never shown a ghost. That is in fact incorrect. There have been multiple videos of objects moving by themselves, shadows, EVP’s and unexplained noises. Are they faked? Maybe, but at least they show something. At least they do a good job of scientifically, to the best of their ability, trying to debunk first. Finding Bigfoot needs that debunking, otherwise it is no better than hearing a tale told by some old uneducated hermit that lives in the woods. Get it right guys. I’m rooting for you to do the right thing. Lets bring “Sasquatch” into the limelight so that someday maybe mainstream science will get involved. Stop fighting and arguing and just do it right. Make the producers see that faked evidence or team dynamics is not what we want to see. Better no evidence at all and a team that proves sightings wrong, than wild assumptions and imagined expertise. Thanks for letting me vent.

I am one who almost never posts but have decided to as the reoccurring arguments regarding this Bigfoot show have become ridiculous. I don’t know any of you, including Matt, but it would seem like a better use of time and energy to either discuss the show in a more sensible manner or work together to present ideas on how the show could be made better or more successful instead of trying to prove who has the biggest ego. At least there is a show which features this important cryptid and while under the thumb of a network’s antics is entertaining and helps present to the uneducated public that there is something to this “myth”. Of course it could be more scientific and it would be great if each episode was 4 hours featuring the cast’s 3 week visit to one area, but it is what it is. We all know the producers are not on board with a ‘scientific’ approach, just something to keep you watching after each commercial. Hopefully Matt and co can gain more control of how the episodes are conducted. It is also obvious that some do not like Matt but hurling insults at him when one of his hands is tied by the network is tiring. I think most of us would have taken this gig and been faced with the same problems. It just seems that the constant feuding within Bigfoot community really holds the entire field back.

@CDC ONE other thing!
When people say “I think i may have saw him!” (Him refearing to Sasquatch)
Do you ever think that they are just like “It can’t be…!” so they say They Think rather than They Know. Maybe they’re afraid of looking foolish or maybe even stunned by what they saw. Maybe they know what they saw but they are just still skeptical of what they saw. Do you ever think of that?

@CDC
“Truth is D.R. I don’t believe you ever saw a Bigfoot, let alone more than once. For whatever reason you say you did, I could care less…you didn’t.”
You don’t know what he saw or didn’t. You also said

“You stand on principles with your replies, yet I effectively called you a liar and you did nothing to defend yourself.”

?? Just because people aren’t so quick to talk back or debate (Kinda like you..) doesn’t mean their lieing or False.

I think your trying to pretend you can tell if someone has actually seen this creature.. which, we all know, you can’t. Just because someone doesn’t seem like they are being 100% truthful doesn’t mean it.

@CDC Actually, 2 things, Matt Moneymaker isn’t famous for nothing, he is the founder of the BFRO.
And secondly, people do get offended when you basically call them a liar. I’m not saying D.R. really saw a Sasquatch but you can’t just go and assume you know everything and comapare seeing bigfoot and seeing the president of the united states!
If the President came, you would be watching him, talking to the people around you making small comments, looking around, and most people wouldn’t be stunned, and shocked.
If you where standing in front of a tall creature that you thought was fake all along (Or thought you would never see), you would be shocked and thinking “Oh my god, oh my god!” and would be wanting to get out of there! But probably afraid to move. When some people are scared it’s hard to focus on every detail around you.
And I agree with you I am hoping to prove it as fact, not believe it is possible.
But when people are scared, they get nervous when talking about it, they’ll probably stutter and leave out things they know they should have said and regret accidentally leaving out later.

@ D.R.

Opinion
-noun
1. a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty

Belief
-noun
1. something believed; an opinion or conviction: a belief that the earth is flat.

“I don’t believe you saw a Bigfoot, let alone more than once”. “It doesn’t matter what I think, it is only my opinion, and we are all entitled to our opinions”.

I think I got ya covered there D.R. both grammatically and interchangeably

You care what I post because it affected you negatively…I made you angry when I suggested you did not see what you claim to have seen.

I make comments like that all the time to elicit a response…and it worked with you.

From that response I learn more information, very similar to playing poker and getting a “read”.

I actually wanted to see if you indeed did see a Bigfoot, or at least believe you did.

By your responses, I don’t think you did see anything.

You stand on principles with your replies, yet I effectively called you a liar and you did nothing to defend yourself.

The exact same thing I found with Matt Moneymaker with his replies…I can tell he has not ever come close to “Finding Bigfoot”.

In 1991 I saw President George HW Bush here in Pasadena. On Oct 22 of last year I saw Barack Obama in Glendale Calif. Both times were by chance, and both times I will never forget.

I will remember the weather, the time of day, people around me, the Pilot cars, the security, the cameras, the cheers (for both), everything.

If I ever saw a Bigfoot, I imagine it would leave the same sort of imprint on my memory.

You described your own sighting as “alleged”. Well, D.R., when I saw the Presidents that was a fact, and if you read into most Bigfoot sightings…folks are pretty much all stating that they “believe” they saw a Bigfoot, not that it was a “FACT” that they saw Bigfoot.

The ONLY two men I have ever seen express their sighting as fact, were Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin…and I “believe” them both.

So when folks claim they saw a Bigfoot I always listen to how they describe their sighting…on television, or on threads, they all so far fall short. Not all are lying, some just mistaken. Those who actually see one, will know it is fact.

You didn’t see anything DR, I wish you did, but we both know you didn’t. The stupid thing is I “believe” Bigfoot “may” be out there some where. That’s why we are both here, but I am hoping to prove it as fact, not believe it is possible.

@ CDC

Please read my post carefully before you comment. Don’t put words in the mouths of others.

You stated in an earlier post that you don’t believe that I ever saw a bigfoot. That’s fine. You’re entitled to your beliefs just as I’m entitled not to care what your beliefs are.

You said that I do “DO CARE” about your opinion, but I wasn’t addressing your opinion; I was addressing the fact that I don’t care about your beliefs as they relate to cryptozoology (e.g., my alleged sightings). There are differences between belief and opinion. They aren’t exactly interchangeable, particularly within the context of this thread.

@ The Bearded Man

No, science is not ever “inconclusive” The Bearded Man, science is like pregnancy, either you are or you are not.

Bigfoot either exists, or it doesn’t, simple.

There are not a bunch of scientists waiting for that last piece of rock solid evidence to say “OKAY, NOW IT’S REAL”!

When all the evidence is submitted, it will be decided, it’s not a running debate.

I don’t make the rules, science does.

If you or anyone else can find the proof that Bigfoot is real, then God Bless You…but footprints and sounds ain’t it.
