Give me somewhere with real mountains and fair chance to not run into anyone else like many places in the Rockies... or out in Western Utah/Central Nevada where I can have a whole mountain range and valley or two to myself.

Surprisingly you do not have to get way the heck back in the woods to have an experience.

Here is the best picture I could find: http://metro.co.uk/2013/07/08/man-with-worlds-biggest-feet-finds-his-sole-mate-in-planets-smallest-woman-3872616/. Notice how clear the picture is; you can really see the feet! It is even easy to see the feet on the smallest woman; even though they are small.

We have group after group looking for pictures of the mythical Bigfoot and the best evidence they can find is blurry pictures that might or might not be anything. I have heard from you how they are all over the place and nobody can produce any evidence - just your claims that they are real. You don't give up; just more third hand accounts and nothing that can stand up to scientific scrutiny. All of the leaves are still off our trees in my neck of the woods. Motorist, pilots, humans can see for miles out through the woods. It was even better visibility when there was snow cover and nobody reported seeing these creatures - there is simply no place to hide.

Garbage in and garbage out. Show any blobsquatch photo to a trained Photographer and they will tell you that you cannot just stand and hold your arms out and take a photo without it being blurred.
The USA is no different in the respect that it takes quality equipment to photo gorillas and you need the same here in the USA.

This is the killer argument.

Any mammal of Bigfoot's reported size --- ESPECIALLY a primate --- requires a certain number of animals to maintain a healthy breeding population. That many animals leaves behind evidence --- bones, corpses, scat, etc. Then you factor in the amount of calories such a beast would need to eat every day.

The result of that equation is that Bigfoot cannot exist as a natural creature. There is not one scrap of verifiable evidence. Not one bone. Not a corpse. Not a tuft of hair. Not a pile of poo. Not one credible photograph. There is no evidence whatsoever other than eyewitness testimony --- and none of the eyewitnesses agree with each other.

If Bigfoot exists at all, it has to have a supernatural explanation. And since there is no evidence of that either, the smart money bets that Bigfoot does not exist.

As i have said several times over. In this sport YMMV. The thrill of hearing one scream is priceless. Seeing large trees shaken like a 6ft Christmas tree, having rocks thrown at you. When these things happen or you actually see one you have a priceless experience. Something circling camp in the dark and tramping down brush so thick that you know that no man could be doing that.

I love it. Not for the faint at heart.

You have an excuse for everything - but you have no solid evidence. You talk about how no photographer can hold the camera steady enough to get quality pictures; but we see quality pictures everyday (of everything - except Bigfoot). Why start thread after thread without anything new?

I assume that Versatile is curious. I do not think Versatile wants to ague, I do not think he wants us to believe.

It would be much easier to believe if he had solid proof.
