Again, this does nothing to explain where footie hid during the exploitation of Northern (or Southern) California.

If it exists then it wouldn't need to try too hard to hide the area has little human population.  There are many more sighting north of that in WA.

Yes, I do not believe in footie due to lack of good evidence while others believe in footie despite bad evidence.

I go with him because it eliminates an extraneous player in on the hoax. 

Im mixed, i just dont think it was a p morris suit unless patterson tweaked it a lot, that doesnt mean patterson didnt call morris for costume tips,

BH thought it was a hide and was smelly if so then who knows what,  BH said it had shoulder pads, a helmet, etc, no living ape or monkey has a crackless diaper butt, suits do.

Footie is alleged to be continentally distributed, in habitats that have been exploited and exhausted of their resources, yet no footie found during that exploitation.  And if you think Northern California hasn't been environmentally exploited, you are mistaken.  Sure, footie-foo-foo could hide there, but not indefinitely.

If they exist then they avoid humans unlike bears who are attracted to human areas for scavenging.  though I already suggest that.

Yes, they avoid humans so successfully, they evade all detection. The king of hide and seek; no footie harvested by hunters, no roadkill footies, leaving no trace of any biological material . . .  no bones, no fossils.

There are of course the supernatural interpretations as to what it is too.  My favorite is an old native legend from the area where the film was made.  In that one Sasquatch appears when there is something wrong in nature or also sometimes when there is something wrong with the nature of the person that sighted it.

If they exist they do not evade all detection though, do they?

I'm unconvinced that Native American/First Nations people are describing the bigfoot of modern myth.

Any detection that would confirm their existence, certainly, otherwise we'd be having an entirely different discussion.

 

ETA: As I like to say, bigfoot is all story, no monkey.

There are no fossils, no scat, no fur, no DNA, no eDNA, no bodies, no bones, no teeth, nothing. How can a real animal that has a breeding population exist without any trace?

Another area is Pennsylvania. Deer were hunted to extinction and not a single bigfoot was shot. There are plenty of sightings in the state.

People have seen and properly recorded mountain lions, fisher cats, and wolverines. Are they attracted to humans to scavenge or do they avoid humans?

Well you are mistaken in that case.  A (now deceased) colleague of mine did a lot of business with tribal entities.  He was so close to them that tribal elders came to his funeral to sing and drum over his casket.  It was he that told me about that story about big foot and more.  He helped insure Yurok tribal businesses and gave me a lot of information of what they told him on the subject during casual conversations.  He was interested in the subject because he thought he saw it once at night driving up to meet with the tribal council around 2015 and said he was told that many tribal members see of or have interaction with it even now but do not report it as a rule because they don't want more people to come to the area to find it and possibly kill it and say whites already bother it too much.

And on and on and on.  Whole states like Michigan and Wisconsin clearcut, yet no footie harvested.  90% of old growth forest gone, yet we're to believe that footie tiptoed around the loggers.

Please provide a citation.  Not from Kathy Strain, please.  I'd require a description of a tribal myth that definitively describes a Patty-like creature before the popular modern myth.

And that still wouldn't mean anything beyond a mythical creature like Aniwye, the Ojibweyan giant skunk, my personal fave mythological creature.

There allegedly are all of those things except fossils.

Let's suppose that BF is great at playing hide and seek and unlike manages not to get hit by cars.

Why are there no BF carcasses discovered in forest fire areas?

Why are there no BF carcasses discovered in flash flood zones?

Why are there no BF carcasses discovered in avalanche zones?

I'm not trying to convince you.  It's like ghosts I think, there is no reason to believe in it if you haven't experienced it for yourself.

Piney is from a tribe 3,000 miles from there.  Is any native an expert on the beliefs of every tribe in your opinion Florida man? We already had this conversation and Piney agreed with me.

Not true. There is no scat, no fur, no DNA, no eDNA, no bodies, no bones, no teeth. There is nothing.

The BF in the freezer was a hoax. The DNA was an opossum.  The eDNA done by Meldrum is mysteriously quiet. The fur was bear. There are no bones or teeth.

There might be stories but they seem to be without merit each and every one.

Please provide a citation for this.  Anecdotes won't cut it.  You do realize that an actual footie bone, or foot, or tooth would be groundbreaking?  As far as footie DNA, that was claimed by one interlocutor here without a whiff of confirmation.

And experience it doesn't mean much. People see someone and suddenly they think BF.

Do you think using the term allegedly relieves you of all responsibilty to demonstrate that assertion.  Stories of footie bones, etc. are just that.
