Poor bigfoot. He is consistently described as having matted hair and smelling like carcass and weed. Maybe he is just a reclusive mountain man because there are a lot of people in northern california that would fit the description.

One more piece of hay on the haystack that has made me a believer.

It's most certainly solid evidence.

These old stories as in this thread really offer nothing for me, an unknown unnamed alleged group of kids claim to see a bigfoot type and someway gauge its an impossible 8 ft. Its not even a proben story.

I dont believe its top of the list however i have believed that humans off the grid do make up some alleged BF sightings,  these "people" could range from a "homeless person" to full blown loons more feral than human.

There is Darrell owen who went as far as to start his own hobbyist bigfoot group afyer his kids claim to see a "hairy man" in the woods owen goes hunting imagination runs wild and bingo hes a believer.

I know a fellow "george" a very skilled hunter outdoorsman who has met off the grid people out in the woods, he says some will bug you for a smoke but most lurk and its pretty unnerving but they are out there.

I knew a guy from Alaska who at the age of nineteen and suffering from mental illness, went out to the forest to live in seclusion.  He said that there was a hostile community that would rob and assault each other living out there as individuals. On the verge of starvation and living through a winter with no shoes he went home thinking much longer out there and he would die.  His family shipped him to a mental hospital down here where after treatment he managed to fit in to society and got a job where I worked which is where I met him.  Some of the crazies he described out there could definitely be mistaken for big foot given the right circumstances I would think.

The horrible stench story again.   If it smelled that bad, it would be easy to find.

This is similar to what george told me, the ones who asked for smokes, etc still had a grasp but as he said others were more feral than human,  he saw them and he would say he was shocked more didnt get shot.

The fellow you know was pretty damm lucky i believe a lot of people drop out and die, i also knew a guy jamie, lost it all lived in the woods for a spell but never gave up and worked hard and now has a great family and home.

"Stink" is a parrot symptom of BF tales based in fact, bears for example will eat dead stuff roll around in it and stink, we have a couple guys who try to get into the club who stink badly, no kidding one you can smell several feet away, its bad, i told the door man tell that cat if he stinks he cant come in.

Sure if bigfoot was real it would likely have stink im turn easy to find any good hunting dog would be right on it.

This idea of tracking dogs and bigfoot doesnt seem to come up much but short of idiotic excuses like BF is a shapeshifting alien ghost pet from another dimension slipping in and out of ours there is zero excuse a pack of hunting dogs wouldnt find BF if it existed.

Dope farmers allegedly shot a BF?  WTF?  They could have made way more money from a BF carcass than they did from dope.  Frikkin' eejits!

I myself am a long term Covid hermit these days due to poor respiration despite my height.  Over the last couple of years I have been hiding out in the back woods of Massachusetts, but I have also become a dedicated Bigfoot hunter.  Many is the weekend I have spent in a shaggy ghillie suit, roaming the forests of the Bridgewater Triangle banging on trees with branches and hooting to attract a sasquatch.  It is also a very good idea to mask one's smell with various pungent and unpleasant scents so that if the wind changes the wildlife will not run from you because you smell like a human.  What is really annoying is that many amateurs have seen Bigfoot in the area and even if I was less than 100' away I have missed seeing it!  So unfair!

Please say you made a post like this in the past.

I recall the two bigfoot hunter groups out in different parts in the same woods all in manic meltdown over their returned tree knocks all day long.

Ha ha, good stuff.

There was an interesting show on Hulu called "Sasquatch" which details the story of the three drug farmers supposedly killed by bigfoot, made by a drug farmer turned documentarian who was there in the area when it happened. It's more of a whodunnit than a cryptid hunt but worth a watch. I will stop there so no spoilers.

I place very little faith in the observational abilities of most people. I am 6' 2" and weigh about 200 pounds and was once shot at. I was sitting beside a tree and I guess I moved my foot. BOOM and little pellets showered me. Fortunately it was cold and I had several layers of clothes on me so I was not hurt. I WAS p***ed off though and was more than ready to return fire and if I could have caught him I would have wrapped his shotgun around a tree. He was yelling that he thought I was a squirrel and was sorry. I KNEW he was stupid and was offering him a few choice words as I chased him. I was young then and could run pretty fast back then but he had more incentive than me so was faster.
