Here is most of the info I posted about, although this isn't the exact article/website I read and mentioned in my post, I'm still trying to find that one

Ooops,
Here's a new mammal just discovered last year...........it's not bigfoot, however it still proves a glaring point.

ETA......Found the article I believe, the one that I referred to in my earlier post.....

It's like we get it already, someone is a non-believer....why not just start a Bigfoot doesn't exist thread.
BELIEF is not proof of existence. The lack of PROOF makes a "Bigfoot does not exist" thread unnecessary.
Certainly not in favour of another bigfoot thread.... lol
While I agree with you from a scientific standpoint, there are many scientific "theories" that have yet to have been proven as well.... The big bang theory being the largest....
Without proof it is a belief, not fact.
EXACTLY!.... and that applies to both scientists and believers.....
is6..... you seem like an OK guy.... I appreciate that.... and will leave it at that
but, lets put it in persepective.... this is a thread in the depths of CGN, to me, its all in fun, and I treat it as such....
If kelley had hard and fast evidence, this would be elsewhere and we would be eating it up.....but it is what it is.....
Come on you guys! I have sighted bigfoot many times! I would bet that you would to if you had the kind of life experiences that most of
us here in British Columbia have on a day to day basis and I wonder how come you guys have to have this kind of discussion here on a
thread that is dedicated to furthering the pursuit of knowledge and expanding the horizons of those who could do with some of that.
Any ways, getting back to what I started out to say about having seen bigfoot many times, you will no doubt want me to give some
sort of proof as to where and when these sighting happened and who also saw so that there is verification and not just me mouthing off.
Well, what can I say? Anyone who has watched television in British Columbia has seen him numerous times as he shills for Columbia brewing.
That doesn't mean that you can't still get in on the fun of going out into the wilderness to experience your own personal sightings in a natural setting.

Which just made me remember something.....on Survivorman the other night with Todd Standing(they were looking for Bigfoot,) Todd was wearing a long barreled revolver on his hip. They were supposed to be in BC.
If you can get a permit for protection against Bigfoot they have to be real, I saw it on TV........
Seriously though I did see Todd with the handgun..........
some random evidence for Bigfoot:
"Most researchers who study the bigfoot subject will point to the abundance of witnesses as the factor they found most compelling about the mystery when first becoming acquainted with it. Over the course of time, bigfoot researchers meet enough eyewitnesses to realize there are indeed many, many eyewitness across the continent who are indeed very credible. Often there are multiple witnesses to a given sighting or encounter.
"There are, in fact, way too many eyewitnesses for this phenomenon to be purely imaginary, as skeptics assert. With such an abundance of eyewitnesses, who are so dispersed across the continent, and dispersed across the decades, the alternate skeptical explanation that the sightings are the result of hoaxers, in whole or even in large part, becomes much less likely.
"Researchers eventually come to realize that if there are indeed so many credible eyewitnesses across the land, then the species they so consistently and emphatically describe probably exists also."

more evidence:
"The mystery behind the sightings of sasquatches (a term used interchangeably with bigfoot) took on a new dimension in the 1960's when Dr. Grover Krantz of Washington State University began examining casts and photos of footprints from various parts of Washington. One of the sets of casts showed anatomical features of an injured foot that were either made by a real upright-walking primate, or an artist with an expert understanding of primate foot anatomy."

"The Patterson-Gimlin film is widely regarded as one of the strongest pieces of evidence for the existence of sasquatches.
"The footage was obtained in a remote mountainous area in northern California in 1967. The two men involved were Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin. Patterson was a rodeo rider from Yakima, Washington. He was trying to make a documentary about the bigfoot mystery when he went down to northern California with a rental 16mm movie camera after hearing about numerous tracks in the valley around Bluff Creek.
"The footage has been repeatedly analyzed by scientists over the last 40 years. It has never been proven to be a hoax, yet various individuals have "confessed" to being the man in the costume over the years. All of the confessions contradict each other, and are strongly suspected of being hoaxes themselves. No one has ever brought forward the actual costume involved, and no one has ever been able to create a matching costume, though many have tried.
"The difficulty in creating a matching costume has to do with the limb ratios. The figure in the footage has shorter legs and larger arms, proportionally, than a human. The differences are most apparent when the figure is juxtaposed to the figure of a human in a bigfoot costume."

"Most of the native tribes across North America have stories in their oral traditions describing giant hairy figures that look and behave very similar to what many Americans and Canadians have described over the past few centuries.
"The tribes are spread across all the linguistic groups of native languages. Every native linguistic group has its own name for these figures, suggesting the stories of these figures did not all arise in the same place.
"Sightings continue to happen on certain native reservations in the United States and Canada — those reservations with an abundance of natural food sources."

Plus:
"There are many examples of recordings attributed to the sounds of Bigfoots, which are very distinct from the sounds of other animals.
"Bigfoots are said to make loud howls and screams at night, as well as wood knocking sounds or rock clacking sounds.
"The most compelling collection of recordings was obtained in California's Sierra Nevada Mountains in the 1970's with the help of a newspaper journalist from Sacramento. Those recordings, called the 'Sierra Sounds' collection, are widely believed to be authentic recordings of bigfoots. A few of those recordings captured what sounds like a primitive language.
"Sound recordings have been obtained in eastern states as well, such as Ohio, Mississippi and Florida."

Maybe not...my mother-in-law passed away a few years ago. Since then....no sightings.
