Interesting. I have a place in the Idaho county with by far, the most sightings (Bonner) and at least two of them were within a couple of miles of my place from what I can tell of their descriptions.

I’ve never seen anything though. Nor heard anything unexplainable. Grizzly bear and many black bears in the front yard, a couple of wolves, cougar, raccoons fighting at night (which is a godawful Sound) but no knocking or anything weird.

We are way out and surrounded by National Forest. So nothing deterring a Sasquatch but the only one I’ve ever seen was on my Kokanee bottle label. Wish they still hid Bigfoot on the labels.

I’d love for it to be true. But I don’t think it is. And why do we need Sasquatch when we have grizzlies? Surely huge creatures with essentially steak knives for claws are pretty amazing.

This can explain many sightings:

None of that proves or disproves Patty was ever where you said it was. If somebody has time to bury one of these creatures; they have time to produce scat, blood, a patch of hair or one small piece of evidence - even one good picture.

We do have the video called Patty" don't we.

Are you taking me up on my invite? We will be out in the dark near a river with no fire. Each will wear a handcuff on one wrist and one cuff through the eye of a 30 ft. security cable.I guarantee you i won't run off and neither will you. I won't run off because i am permanently on crutches anyway.

Is it just me or Fisheye are you not even reading what i post and just dance ?

Yeah. I want to believe.
I was a believer, I thought it was possible - maybe up to the early 70s.
But now with technology - drones, cameras built into cell phones, the availability of night vision and heat vision technology to the masses, trail and game cameras, popularity and access to ATVs, DNA testing, the ability to clear cut forest tracks very quickly, and the tendency for people to encroach into more and more rural areas (making for once rare engagements with mountain lions and wolves to occur more often)....nope, the dream is dead. There is no bigfoot.

Our world gets smaller everyday! It's harder to hide a Bigfoot; unless you bury them deep!

PS With the newer DNA testing they can even test the soil of the caves!

I had a mother bear, about the size of the ones in the two posted YouTube videos, come by our house about fifteen years ago. The mother, with cubs helping, stripped a one inch wide and ten foot long piece of bark off one of our cedar trees. She then proceeded to stand up and rub her back against the tree where the bark was stripped. We use cedar to line clothes chest to keep out moths and bugs. I have speculated that bears might use cedar as insecticide. I did capture the bear and her cubs stripping the bark on a video.

That said, if I was terrified of large mythical beast and looked at the mother bear scratching her back on the tree; I could have run home screaming that I just saw Bigfoot. That would have been especially true if I looked at her from the back side of the tree with just her huge arms waving in the air and small signs of her total mass.

I don't have to run half way across our Nation for you to present we with your evidence. You can post the links and the pictures right here. If they are good enough; maybe some will believe? I do have plenty of wilderness right where I am at. To get to my camp you have to travel three miles off the pavement. When I get there I am surrounded by thousands of acres of wilderness and the 650 acres we own.

YEP! Just as i thought. How do you know that out of all these millions of truck drivers that quite a few have seen ol hairry and they choose to not talk about it? Were you too just see one with no photos and other witnesses would you say anything about it?
