Anybody watch the press conference? Reports I found with Google news search says it was pretty much a bomb, with more blurry pictures, sketchy DNA evidence, and promises of yet more experts reviewing the data in coming weeks.
Sounds like they're lying out of there piehole and it is a fraud. Today was their chance to provide positive, absolute, undeniable evidence. And it doesn't seem to be there.
Actually I've seen a few - usually deer and usually they were caught in a thicket (easily id'd by antlers of course). I suppose animals that die or are killed in an open area just get torn apart by scavengers. I've seen parts of skeletons in the woods but not enough to identify what kind of critter.
Yup.
These days, no matter how looney tunes, off the wall, flat out brain-dead a theory a person has, if he gets any airtime, the next thing you know, he has 6 million devoted followers, and has his third book on the NYT best seller list.
Says alot about critical thinking in America.
Maybe it says more about some kind of vacuum in society, where people are searching for meaning no matter how crazy it is. The crazier the better!
I know. My big toe is the reincarnation of Buddha. Well, his big toe, at least.
I too, live in "Bigfoot" country, and know several folks who have seen them. But this current circus is a hoax beyound a doubt.
This one smells bad.
Bigfoot may exist, but if these folks have had him on ice for like a month or so, they would easily been able to provide positive biological evidence today. This was their big chance.
I’m a bit angry about it because there are honest, open minded researchers out there, and this kind of scam makes everybody else look bad.
Somebody deserves a whoopin.

Mix of opossum and human DNA.
Somebody SERIOUSLY deserves an ass whoopin!!

I agree.
Sure sounds that way. Pity!
I’m with you on this one. We had a local psychiatrist claim to have an encounter near The Oregon Caves. He was the butt of many jokes and I doubt it helped his business any.
The bigfoot con-men are, as far as I am concerned, lying SOB POS’s.
Love the part where redneck understanding of science mixes a bit of dead possum with their own stuff and tries to convince us it’s a new species.
Freakin retards oughta go back to spendin their time makin whoopie with fat chicks.
OK, I give. What or who is in Rock Springs?
The man I’m in love with!
I didn’t think it was the scenery. Hope you’re together soon!
Can you give more details? I love a good bigfoot story.
....How many skeletons of any animal have you seen in the woods....
Many and I have several in my collection...skulls only. I recently hiked at the Cumberland island National Seashore where they posted signs prohibiting the removal of any bones or skulls.
If you spend much time in the woods, you’ll see them from time to time.
This link tells the story.

Must not have much for porcupine down in the Cumberlands. Up here in the Rockies, old bones are pretty few and far between... porkies eat 'em, skulls and all. Need the calcium, I'd guess.
Then one must weigh the relative population: One might find a relatively common deer or elk kill, fresh to a month or two old... I have seen quite a few in my time. But carnivores killed in the wild are rather rare- I have seen one black bear carcass and one wolverine carcass that I can recall (natural, high country death, not attributable to man).
That is because carnivores are comparatively small in population and large in range, so it is statistically more unlikely that one might find such a carcass compared to the more populous herd animals.
As to Sasquatch, I cannot say for certain, as I never saw the creature, but I am pretty sure I heard one call- Very much like the recordings attributed to them.
I am an accomplished high country woodsman, and a hunter with bow and rifle, and am quite familiar with all the sounds normally generated in the forest.
This was unique, incredibly robust, and hair raising. My dog at the time, a half-Wolf/Malamute-Shepherd mutt, known for tusslin' with bears for fun, spent the rest of the night glued right up next to me, worried, and whining as all get out. If he didn't want to mess with it, neither did I.
Ah, thanks :-)
