"My thoughts exactly. No mention of analyzing the blood! What's up with that? Ten bucks says it's a bear."

Yeah but don't you HOPE that it's Bigfoot? I mean who is such a fuddy dud that they don't want to learn there really is a North American ape and the average Joes and Janes who have seen them were right and the fuddy duds were wrong. I would love it!

Tell me about it. Willow Creek California, not very many miles from my home town was practically the start of the Bigfoot craze in Calif. Big footprints in a logging camp with big oil drums thrown around etc. etc. There is a large statue of him there in town. Some believe and some are doubters but the legend lives on. And it was in that area where that motion picture of him that is always shown on TV was filmed.

Even if they somehow hide the bodies of their dead, we would have found remains.

They use the secret tunnel system to transport their dead to the ancestral burying grounds in the High Himalayas, to be interred by their priest caste, known as Yetis.

Dang! I’m never sure whether to waste even more bandwidth apologiszing for a double post;

or to just ignore it, and hope people chalk it up to seeing double, from sipping while reading.

You can’t fool me. That’s Elvis in a Bigfoot costume!

In order for over 3,000 large primates to exist in this country and not be regularly spotted would mean they have supernatural abilities, which would make the likelihood of their existence to be zero.

On the internet, nobody knows you’re a bigfoot.

“Hmmm. Sounds bitter.”

What is OwlBore doing in South Carolina?

And why did he attack that gas guzzling Dodge Caravan?

[Gamecock]

chewed up, bite marks through the front grill, wheels on both sides bitten and metal crumpled in a wad

I used to call on this gal in Bishopville. I wonder....

She probably clings to her religion by praying before she opens the door.

This rings a bell about a movie that was being filmed around there called, I think, the Swamp Monster, It was all a publicity stunt.

[dixie sass]

I doubt that the blood evidence was still there when the people from “Cauli”fornia arrived. Someone most probably took the car for a “trial run” and hit a deer.

It seems to me that what abounds are hoaxers and dupes. But I guess you had to be there...(grin)...

Back in 1983 when I was a young infantry officer stationed at Fort Lewis Washington I had the unique opportunity to be present when a young sergeant from the Ranger Battalion at the post explained to a group of officers (all my friends) why he'd called for an emergency extraction of his patrol in the middle of an extended Field Training Exercise. I am not at liberty to give the details of the exchange because I gave my word that I would never do so, but the account was blood chilling. If it were coming from my own troops at the time, I'd say there were drugs involved. But from an airborne ranger, part of an outfit whose creed is to never lie to any officer or another ranger...I became a believer. I wonder how many of our special ops folks whose duty is to train deep in the wilderness have had similar encounters? They'd be the most likely to have them since part of the job description is to slip thru the forest silently and recon for the enemy. You wanna call those guys hoaxers or dupes, be my guest. But I know better. I've not seen any of the critters but I have had some chilling encounters deep in the woods of the pacific northwest that I can't explain. My platoon sergeant at the time was a combat veteran from vietnam was also present and he'd say it creeped him out too. I didn't call for an extraction by Blackhawk, but I did link up and stay with another platoon operating nearby.

“Let’s just say that when I go outside, I have my gun with me,” she said.

Blazing Saddles was on the other night. I'm reminded of the line given by Gene Wilder as Cleavon Little was heading out to deal with MONGO: Don't shoot him! You'll just make him mad.

Somehow, I think a .38 or a 9mm is going to feel like a flea bite to somethiung like this. I'm thinking I finally have a valid excuse to present to the wife to buy my Smith & Wesson 460 XVR, with five inch ported barrel. What do you think? Will it fly?

[snarks_when_bored]

ExSoldier, what you relate sounds interesting, but in the absence of details and verification, it must be classified as anecdotal. You say: "I am not at liberty to give the details of the exchange because I gave my word that I would never do so, but the account was blood chilling." This was 25 years ago, and it doesn't appear that national security was or is involved. Who would be harmed by telling most of what you were told (although it would still be anecdotal)? You needn't mention names or quite precise locations...

And thanks for your service.

They all made the same promise at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947, but they all eventually talked. (One example)

C'mon, enough time has passed. Dont have to name names. Just tell us what happened. :-)
