Bigfoot

[badbrad]

how about the fact that; THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BIGFOOT!!

Of all the crap spewed in this thread about Bigfoot that verge takes issue with is wether or not a panther can scream???

BS is BS, no matter which way you cut it or what it's about....

[tophawg19]

verge that is a lie . i have heard them on several occasions . it isn't a house cat. your ignorance is funny though. and up close it's a sound that will chill your blood . several times we also found tracks in creek bottoms where he had followed us while we were dragging deer . that sound is one you can't forget .

[LSUFan]

I've been through every swamp south of I-10 in Louisiana, I've eaten everything that crawls, walks, climbs, hops, slithers, flys, or swims there.

The old folks don't talk about them, and I've never seen one or evidence thereof in my 43 years.

FWIW.

If we are gonna talk about screams, I once heard one and I swore it was a BF, Been in the woods all my life and havent heard anything like it before or since. There is no way to describe this sound, it sounded like a lunatic running the hills holler at nothing. It was loud Then my 82 year old uncle explained to me that panthers make that sound when they are juveniles and only develop the "woman scream" when are fully matured.

I have a keen sense of smell, I can smell deer, squirrles, and rabbits in the woods, I've never smelled anything like a skunk ape

New Finding Bigfoot on right now. Awesome!

[panhandlepig]

  I know I shouldn't be invading this forum too, as I don't hunt, but I do fish..but here's my theory about Bigfoot.  I doubt they exist, but I kind of hope they do. If they do exist, I hope no human ever finds them.  Go Sasquatch!

[clutch]

I hear all kinds of weird noises in the woods. Never once have I though, that was a bigfoot.

One time we were hunting in Monticello and I swear I heard a monkey. It was the absolute strangest sound I'd ever heard in the woods. I sat there scratching my head trying to figure out what it was when I hear something running towards me. Next thing I see is my buddy I'm hunting with high tailing it back to the truck. He had no idea where I had hung my stand and never knew I saw him run through. His eyes were as big as silver dollars, his bow was in one hand, and his backpack was on his back. He came blazing through there in his muck boots and I swear he would have been running a sub 4.4 forty.

When I got back to the truck I asked him if he'd seen anything. He just said no and never mentioned how he hauled ass out of the woods or the noise. A few hours later I asked him if he heard a strange noise that day. He just said yeah and played it cool like nothing ever happened. It was the funniest thing I'd ever seen. Never could figure out what it was though.

You ought to hear a fox.  If someone heard one out in the woods at night and didn't know it was a fox, they would swear that it was a 10' tall banshee, zombie, alien, or some kind of monster.  The little boogers can make some of the most frightening sounds you have ever heard, and no two of them sound alike.

Didn't figure they'd find him this episode...would ruin the rest of the season!

Really surprised the rave in the woods didn't work...I hear them squatches can really cut a rug!

Oh that's a lie is it?

So you have heard noises in the woods from unknown creatures, and you attribute that to something you haven't even seen. Despite that, you then claim that people who have spent years following tagged animals studying and filming them are lying.

Jesus Christ! No wonder you people believe in bigfoot.

If there was a BF, I'm sure we would have waived his immigration requirements by now and would have him on food stamps

Funny TV show.  They just need to change the name, ....from "Finding Bigfoot"......

To......"Finding Bullsh**"

Never ceases to amaze me, on the information these Bigfoot experts tell us about their research on Bigfoot.  They claim to know how they communicate,  & what kind of sounds they make while communicating (beating on trees with a stick), what they eat (deer), how they think, how intelligent they are, etc.  Yet to my knowledge.....nobody has really seen them beating on trees with a stick, there have been no captives to study, no real video studying their habits, or dead ones to examine.  Without any real evidence, this is amazing research.

Since Bigfoot is so smart.......how long before "BoBo" (Bozo) or Matt "Moneymaker" (perfect name) claim that they believe the Squatch's sometime steal cars to migrate to remote areas with......but usually only those with either push button gears, or short gear shifts on the column & automatic transmissions ......(any vehicles with longer, stick floor shifts are usually rendered useless.... after the Squatch jerks the stick shift out of the floor & takes it to the nearest tree to beat on)

[CPO Hog]

I saw a bigfoot yesterday off the south side of Hwy 70/71 near De Queen. Had a car load of distractions, so I don't remeber which side of De Queen it was. From a glance, it looked like a cutout from a sheet of plywood of a walking Big Foot, painted black. It about 30 yard down a wooded lane. It made me do a double take, then I was past it.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) November 24, 2012

A team of scientists can verify that their 5-year long DNA study, currently under peer-review, confirms the existence of a novel hominin hybrid species, commonly called "Bigfoot" or "Sasquatch," living in North America. Researchers' extensive DNA sequencing suggests that the legendary Sasquatch is a human relative that arose approximately 15,000 years ago as a hybrid cross of modern Homo sapiens with an unknown primate species.
The study was conducted by a team of experts in genetics, forensics, imaging and pathology, led by Dr. Melba S. Ketch um of Nacogdoches, TX. In response to recent interest in the study, Dr. Ketch um can confirm that her team has sequenced 3 complete Sasquatch nuclear genomes and determined the species is a human hybrid:
"Our study has sequenced 20 whole mitochondrial genomes and utilized next generation sequencing to obtain 3 whole nuclear genomes from purported Sasquatch samples. The genome sequencing shows that Sasquatch mtDNA is identical to modern Homo sapiens, but Sasquatch nuDNA is a novel, unknown hominin related to Homo sapiens and other primate species. Our data indicate that the North American Sasquatch is a hybrid species, the result of males of an unknown hominin species crossing with female Homo sapiens.
Hominins are members of the taxonomic grouping Hominini, which includes all members of the genus Homo. Genetic testing has already ruled out Homo neanderthalis and the Denisova hominin as contributors to Sasquatch mtDNA or nuDNA. "The male progenitor that contributed the unknown sequence to this hybrid is unique as its DNA is more distantly removed from humans than other recently discovered hominins like the Denisovan individual," explains Ketch um.
"Sasquatch nuclear DNA is incredibly novel and not at all what we had expected. While it has human nuclear DNA within its genome, there are also distinctly non-human, non-archaic hominin, and non-ape sequences. We describe it as a mosaic of human and novel non-human sequence. Further study is needed and is ongoing to better characterize and understand Sasquatch nuclear DNA."
Ketch um is a veterinarian whose professional experience includes 27 years of research in genetics, including forensics. Early in her career she also practiced veterinary medicine, and she has previously been published as a participant in mapping the equine genome. She began testing the DNA of purported Sasquatch hair samples 5 years ago.
Ketch um calls on public officials and law enforcement to immediately recognize the Sasquatch as an indigenous people:
"Genetically, the Sasquatch are a human hybrid with unambiguously modern human maternal ancestry. Government at all levels must recognize them as an indigenous people and immediately protect their human and Constitutional rights against those who would see in their physical and cultural differences a 'license' to hunt, trap, or kill them."
Full details of the study will be presented in the near future when the study manuscript publishes.

Proof Wookies existed long, long ago and beautiful women loved them.  and loved them. and loved them.

Since it is proven scientifically that bigfoot is real and technically human on the most basic level, can't we go search the Ozarks for Arkansas home grown bigfoots (or is it bigfeet?) to play on our O and D line?  We could lead the nation in equal rights for these now recognized human types!

If it can be proven they are essentially human, I'm sure we can find a way to get their GED, and get them academically eligible.  NCAA rules can be circumvented if you know what you're doing.  For the right money, we could probably hire someone from the Auburn athletic dept. who could help us out with that.

Well, no reason for the "Bigfoot People" to remain hiding in the woods any longer, hunting for food, etc.  May as well come on out, act civilized & sign up for food stamps & unemployment.  Some may even qualify for government jobs.

Have a feeling the peer review is going to decimate that PR....I mean study.

I would expect them to be like Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.

[Hawgon]

I think if there is a bigfoot, it is probably closer to human than ape and might just be darned near as intelligent as we are.  That would explain how it has remained relatively hidden all the years. 

If the study holds up, my candidate for the hybridization would be Homo Heidleberginis (sp?).  Anyway, that species was much like Neanderthals only much taller.  Scientists say that there were isolated groups of that species that averaged over 7 feet tall and that they were much more muscular than we are.

[Hawgon]

One more thing, and I'll leave it at this because I know how some of you will react.  But go and read Genesis 6.  It talks about unknown hominids mating with human females and creating "giants".  These creatures could be the degerated offspring of these creatures that eventually became outcasts.

I know, I'm just pointing out that there is some Biblical backing for the genetic assertion that at some point, something not quite human, bred with human females and that the resulting offspring were giants.

How is it complete BS?  Your link doesn't say it is false, it says that it is difficult to speculate too much until the peer review is done, and then goes on a tear speculating as to how the study and the preliminary conclusions are flawed.

You see, to a rational person, "complete BS" = there is no study and this was a made up news report.  It doesn't mean I don't agree with their conclusions even though I haven't seen the study, know nothing of its contents or the way it was conducted, and will jump all over it before the peer review is even complete.

[Ex-Trumpet]

My favorite thing I've seen on that show was one of them was talking about how Bigfoot preys on deer. The woman asked why they didn't prey on cattle and Moneymaker said it was because the Bigfoots knew it would anger the humans and if the people were angry, they would hunt the Bigfoots.

Not much gets by Moneymaker...that dude's sharp!

[hogginbama]

If nothing else, he's aptly named. Thanks to the show, they now lead "expeditions" looking for Bigfoot that are open to the general public. Prices range from $300-500 per person.
