No samples of a living “Bigfoot”. No flesh. No bone. Nothing whatsoever in the fossil record. Oh, but he’s supposed to be out there, somewhere, thrashing around.
Very, very low probability.
Google "Gigantopithecus." Bigfoot existed once - the only debate is whether or not it still does.
Yeah, that's true. But my friend - again, this guy wasn't some suburban metrosexual who's scared of his own shadow - saw something that he called a Bigfoot, and it scared him enough to keep him out of the woods.
He's a little older than me. I'd guess 50, plus or minus a couple of years. He'd been hunting since he was a kid, so I'm guessing that he had to have seen something really out of the ordinary.
Case in point - when I was a teenager I was walking home at night from a local fishing hole. I had a bobcat scream at me from a tree, not too far over my head. I think that I only touched down on the high spots on the whole way home. :-) BUT....once I got home and took a second to think things over (and changed my shorts), I didn't (and still don't) have any problem with going back out in the woods.
My buddy has had plenty of time to chew on it and he still won't go, at least not by himself. Maybe it's the dog that didn't bark, but that says plenty to me.
