Comments on: Wildlife Biologist Weighs In On Bigfoot http://www.cryptomundo.com/bigfoot-report/wildlife-biologist/ for Bigfoot, Loch Ness, and More Sun, 22 Nov 2009 03:44:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: shumway10973 http://www.cryptomundo.com/bigfoot-report/wildlife-biologist/#comment-16302 shumway10973 Thu, 20 Jul 2006 00:33:09 +0000 http://www.cryptomundo.com/bigfoot-report/wildlife-biologist-weighs-in-on-bigfoot/#comment-16302 I do know that an older gentleman here in California claimed he was the big foot people here saw throughout the 50's and 60's (at least). When he "came forth" to tell this to a news crew, my dad's uncle told us a story about how 50 gallon barrels (full) of diesel was thrown against a tree and the impact busted them right up. "I'ld like to know how he achieved that one," my dad's uncle chuckled. How many animals have there been that people have reported, but the officials or experts deny their existance until someone captures one (usually the last or last of a few)?

Either you believe or you don't, and for the hardcore, there's no changing minds. The real point, is many people don't want to believe in things like this, whether there is evidence or not (and now someone is going to argue with me about what constitutes evidence...and then I am going to have to go off on a tangent about narrow minded avenues of "science" and its perpetrators...). As for me, even though everyone likes to think we have this world mapped out because of satellites and millions upon billions of people stomping around, the truth is that we've got hundreds of thousands of acres of ground no one ever hikes across and we don't have our eyes on every patch of woods and weeds, no matter what the skeptics like to say (and for god's sake, don't even get me started on the water!). Nuff said ...oh, and Bigfoot said to say "hi" too... Ultimately, it’s a moot point. Either you believe or you don’t, and for the hardcore, there’s no changing minds.

Interesting comments regarding large dog behavior around sasquatch scent...I've had similar experiences with Rottweilers and Weimeraners...normally aggresive herding/hunting dogs terrified and trembling...during Class B incidents... Regarding the Nebraska photo....I've been involved in animal/canine rescue for decades...the photo appears to be an emaciated, injured and probably abandoned or lost, Presa Canario or Fila Brasielera....(personal protection dogs)...the same breeds which savagely killed the young woman in the Bay area several years ago...a breed I refuse to rescue...I've posted extensively on these breeds on the Yahoo Rottweiler/Weimeraner Rescue boards I moderated.... Craig...I'm getting you a new shirt...I give it to you this Fall in Jefferson....LOL seeing is believing... ole bub and the dawgs Good morning bigfoot bloggers…

I think Mr. Woolheater's speaker at his TBRC exhibit in July features a wildlife biologist, Alton Higgins, who based on his own experiences, has a different take on the subject. Dr. John Bindernagel also seems to have a different viewpoint. I know several wildlife biologists personally who would differ with this guy.

Possible, but not very likely. Eating raw meat and veggies as well as barefoot bipedal locomotion through forests, swamps, and so forth would suggest that these animal foster a large number of parasites -- specifically bacteria, worms and fungii that would likely reduce their life expectancy. To some degree, they could develop a higher resistance than we, but not in all cases and since they seem to forage in our garbage and exposed areas, they would also pick up new pathogens to which they have no resistance. Remember the effects of smallpox on American Indians in the 18th century? harleyb,

On our November Field Study, I asked one of the reporters to bring her hunting dog. This dog isn't afraid to take on a 12 foot alligator, boor, or big cat -- Linda has seen it do so as she lives in a remote area. During the Field Study, the dog became highly agitated and wouldn't leave Linda's side one evening. The odd behavior culminated with the animal (dog) jumping up on the dinner table in the mess tent -- something it has never done before or since. It shook like a leaf that night. From a BHPs point of view, a dog isn't a pet -- it's a wolf. And, yes, I have seen evidence that BHPs prefer sweet meats and obtain them in a way that we would consider unpleasant.

These homonids might be ancient predators of canids." That's an interesting hypothesis. Especially since I have heard before that bigfoot have been blamed for killing animals such as dogs and deer for food (interestingly enough they seem to tear out the liver only and leave the rest). “One of the most telling signs that these creatures are real is that hunting dogs will often refuse to track them.

There are a lot of people who had never believed in BF until a 1st sighting. And they say WOW I thought it was not-real or just a myth.

I think that scientist are approaching it from the wrong angle, the hairy wildmen reported around the world aren't wildlife at all but actually another species of homonid. If this homonid has a bigger brain than other primates like chimps and gorillas, it could easily avoid even the most skilled hunters. We know that primates have enough intelligence to learn sign language, these homonids could actually have their own distinct culture and language. One of the most telling signs that these creatures are real is that hunting dogs will often refuse to track them. These homonids might be ancient predators of canids. If I were a modern domesticated canine, I wouldn't want to track a 200kg+ omnivorous homonid either.
