Occam's Razor concludes that Bigfoot doesn't exist at all. And the overwhelming lack of evidence backs up Occam pretty strongly.

And again, the overwhelming lack of evidence has a lot to do with that. You can't see something that isn't there. And you can't insist others believe in a creature for which you can't produce any reasonable evidence.

Where have i insisted that anyone to anything at all. I am just posting these posts for people that want to read what i am saying. As i said before. :Why are you even responding to these threads?"

Believe what you want i don't care. s for reasonable evidence i have presented quite a bit and no one around here has the desire to go out and find out for yourself. You are claiming that these creatures must be super natural and you your self don't have anything to back that up. Saying "MUST BE" etc is just assuming and that leads no where.

These creatures don't just stay in one area at all. They get around a bit.

"The creeks; remember the creeks, they always follow the creeks."

The experience: Back in the early 70's i used to drive several muscle cars. Road Runners, Barracudas, Chargers, mustangs etc. The small town i hung out in had a rowdy bunch and your social standing was nil if you didn't out run the cops occasionally. Were you to get caught then a beating was sure to come but if you got away they just let it go even if they knew who it was. Talk about an Adrenaline rush. When the chase started then i would get all laugh y nervous and you would think to yourself"Why am i doing this".

That is the emotions i feel when having an experience with these creatures. Talk about a rush.

Try it yourself. You have nothing to lose other than some gas money and a night in the outdoors.

These guys are very knowledgeable and know their stuff. Don't pay any attention to others out there. They want to harvest an adult male BF.

Versatile, I cannot but notice you have not responded to my question on the contradiction between your statement that BF are quadrupedal while all sightings and reported foot prints and alleged photo's show them to be bipedal.

You have now shown a photo of a cow femur in a tree with BF bite marks on it. The femur is not cracked or splintered like a crushing bite would be expected to produce. Sure, the end looks splintered but not the area where the bites are, it's like the bone was chiselled out by the teeth. The foot print photo looks impressive but why only the one print? Are there photo's of the rest of the prints, as in a set?

As for sightings and foot prints. Just depends on who you are talking too. Have you actually talked to a person that get's out and looks around? Just reading it on the internet or watching it on tv is a very light way to get any information of any depth.. There are very few websites that have real good info.
When going Quad they are down on their knuckles in front. People claim they are very hard to track when they go quad. We know it isn't hard for humans to get up and down why should it be hard for them to?

Cow femur: Please note the thing to be looking at is the Squareness of the teeth marks. Look at any bones of other critters or cows and when a fang gnaws it; then that shows. These teeth were squared off like humans etc.

Foot print: Don't know about the others only one was provided. Track came from Eastern Oklahoma and that is not uncommon to get only one print worthy of a photograph in Oklahoma.

I have been told over and over that when you start asking around and they think you aren't going to laugh at them the many people will open up. Just look at the grilling i get around here. Most people just say to hell with it i know what i know and i don't care what they think i don't need to be raked over the coals.

It's a fascinating subject. I've never seen one or heard one smelled one or even seen a track, but I do believe there is something out there. Not everyone is lying about sightings. Too bad there are so many hoaxers, I makes this subject less credible. I love watching anything about Sasquatch. For the people that say there was never any evidence of a large ape, must not have heard of Gigantopithecus.
Well, got to go for now...life is calling.

Uh... that would be in Asia one hundred thousand years ago - quite removed from contemporary America.

That link has some very clear pictures of your Bigfoot! Those hunters, in camouflage, fit your description. I am sure that some of them do hunt and kill deer.

Now; where is your clear picture or evidence?

I've been wondering about that cow femur with bite marks. Why would an intelligent creature put a bitten through, chewed clean bone in a tree? Is there any other animal who does that? Then I wonder why an an animal would bite through a femur? Then I wonder how an animal could bite so hard on a femur as to cut gouges in it without splintering it?

At first until more investigation i would say it was put there by a human. That should suffice for the Hoaxer crowd. This came from a very experience person in an area they have been watching for quite awhile. Why a creature would do that? I have no answer. Just more questions. I do know that most often any kill remains they leave behind won't get touched by other animals.
