Finding Bigfoot

A family, including children, commenting on what their cell phone is recording in the woods. This freaky series has broadcasted quite a few videos of some thought provoking occurrences.

The thought occurs to me that with a large portion of the forested areas of California having burned in the past couple of years that a few Bigfoots would have been either found roasted or flushed out...if there were indeed any in there.

Participating in this thread once again inspired me to try to find out whatever happened to Peter Byrne, the last of the old "Bigfoot Pantheon" (as I've heard it called) still standing. The most recent info I could come by dated from July 2019, when the old boy was still roaming the woods of Oregon looking for the creatures at the very ripe old age of 93. Quite a dashing figure he was in his younger days and almost invariably accompanied to Bigfoot confabs by sundry attractive young ladies considerably his junior, I'm told. He had more professional credibility than most Bigfoot hunters, having been a "Shikari" in India before big game hunting there was exhausted during the 1960s. Despite his background as a hunting guide, he was very much a paladin of the "peace squad" of Bigfoot enthusiasts, as opposed to the "kill squad." As you might surmise, they were divided over the question of whether a BF should be killed to establish the reality of the species. Back when I was a believer, I was very much on the side of the kill squad.

presumably Foot would be adapted to a natural fire regime in habitus

New doc investigates whether Sasquatch killed NorCal pot farmers

The gonzo true crime series is scarier than the director ever expected.

Hmmm...bumping off three people would seem kind of out of character for a Bigfoot, but maybe they were really riled by these types invading and polluting their forest.

In the current New Yorker there is an article about the Dyatlov Pass incident. This occurred in early February of 1959. A party of nine Russian cross-country skiers were found dead in mysterious circumstances. All kinds of fanciful hypotheses have been suggested. One of them was that they were killed by a "yeti." It would have taken a very tough yeti to have overpowered nine lusty young Russians (seven men, two women) armed with knives, ski poles, hatchets and such. Anyway, a Russian investigator has come up with a plausible solution: Briefly summarized, the Russians' tent was partly buried by a snow slide. Fearing a greater avalanche would follow, they fled the tent. Disoriented, partly undressed, in 20-below weather, they were unable make it back to the tent and died of cold and exposure. Occam's Razor seemingly has shaved the yeti hypothesis!

Thread needs more idfnl.

^Absolutely! He was the very soul of this thread. He pulled out of the Dressed Well forum also. He may just have burned out on forum culture

I must apologize for repeating a point I have made earlier in this thread, but at the moment a fire has burned about 90 square miles in the Siskiyou National Forest in Northern California. This has always been prime Bigfoot country. We'll see if a roasted BF carcass or two is discovered or some are captured badly burned and in need of medical attention. I suppose it's quite possible, but I'm not going to hold my breath!

if I stumbled upon roasted Bigfoot I’d be tempted to try a small bite

You remind me of my grandfather who, after my grandmother wondered what kind of bird it was up in the tree, said “You want me to shoot it so you can get a closer look at it?”

Reviving this thread made me make another attempt to find out whatever happened to Peter Byrne, the last of the old "Bigfoot Pantheon." Well, as of March 22 of this year, the old boy was still out in the woods looking for Bigfoot...at the very advanced age of 96!!! More power to him! Geezers rule!

Not if they're the ones who've been setting the fires.
