sasquatch bigfoot

[Shifty]

To the skeptics on the subject I would ask you to pose a reasonable explanation to what others have experienced instead of one line stupid comments.

Sorry, I'm out of everything but stupid comments.  

Oh wait... They witnessed the planet Venus and mistook it for Bigfoot.

Thanks shifty I knew I could count on someone for a one line zinger

1) Lots of booze
2) Lots of drugs
3) Mistaking other wild life
4) All the above

The four most reasonable explanations for one claiming to see 'Big Foot'.

I have seen 2 black panthers here in Oklahoma, one where I'm from about 50 miles north of the Texas border and the other about 30 SW of Tulsa where I'm at now.  When they scream it'll make the hair on the back of your neck stand up until your completely out of there I promise you.

You might have seen a black jaguar.  Jaguars are starting to make a very slow come back in the United States, in states like Arizona and Texas that have recorded a couple of jaguars in those states that came in from Mexico.  A lot don't know but Jaguars used to range in the South West US before they were decimated by hunting and other factors.

Bigfoot is ok and all, but I'm more interested in the Sheepsquatch that a couple of good ole boys from Kentucky claim to have seen. My theory is it's a cross between Bigfoot and Mothman.

Edit: Looking into it a little further it appears that most of the Sheepsquatch sightings have been here in West Virginia. That lends a lot of credibility to Ack-Ack's theory of drugs and booze.

Kinda expected better than that from you AKAK. Your always a wizard for facts. Shame your missing some here and blowing it off as purely mistaken identity and or substance abuse. Typical though.

My Bigfoot experience consisted of seeing the movie Legend of Boggy Creek in the 6th grade. Then going deer hunting the following week in Kerrville TX.So my old man drops me off at a stand at zero dark thirty with a Marlin 3030 for deer and a 12 gauge shotgun for turkey. Its pitch dark and a good hour before sunrise and I keep hearing something big thrashing in the brush... I just knew it was the Boggy Creek monster and he was going to reach in the stand and wreck shop on me at any minute. When the sun came up I saw the monster it was one of the feral goats that wandered the ranch we were hunting on. I threw a couple of rocks at it to send it on it's way. Damn thing scared my young butt half to death in the dark.

What am I missing?  Big Foot doesn't exist and those that claim to see it were either 1) under the influence of booze/drugs 2) mistook another animal (most likely a bear) for Big Foot or 3) perpetuating a hoax or a con.

Your missing the credible accounts of eye witnesses ( hunters, biologist, park rangers, lumberjacks, survivalist, land surveyors, veterinarians, etc)
Oh and of course the massive amount of physical evidence that's available out there. Hoaxes are a problem with any unknown simply because people love to make fun of what they don't understand. Hell they use to burn people that said the earth was round at one time in our history.

Back to BIGFOOT.

This may sound like a stupid comment, but how about we turn this around?  Have you or they, examined every possible explanation other than bigfoot?  It seems the argument is "I dont know what it was, therefore it had to be bigfoot" 

I admit I did not read the full thread so if someone pisted a picture I apologize for missing it.

[surfinn]

Simple answer yes.
Hell most humans want to find a logical explanation for what they experienced. So the accounts that come from people who know their area well and experience something they can't explain will try to find a reasonable explanation for what happened to them. If their brain flat refuses to fit the bear into what they saw and or experienced then whats left?

I'm not missing anything, like I mentioned before.  What you might find to be 'credible', I don't.

Well I'm sure you have more experience than all of the above guys AKAK who have encountered it before.

But to blow it off as substance abuse and or mistaken Identity is laughable and shallow. typical though

Even the most experienced person can make a mistake.  For example, the video that is often posted in these forums of a couple of USAAF planes shooting down what they thought was a Ju88 when it was actually a RAF Mosquito.  Very experienced fighter pilots with many hours between them and I think one or both of them even had kills but yet still misidentified the Mosquito.

It is true that booze and or drugs do play a part in a large number of 'sightings', as do mistaking what they are seeing.

You are correct!  But what happens when they can't?

So the accounts that come from people who know their area well and experience something they can't explain will try to find a reasonable explanation for what happened to them. If their brain flat refuses to fit the bear into what they saw and or experienced then whats left?

Everything is left. If it cannot be explained then why assume it was BF?  Maybe they made a mistake in all the excitement.  Miss judged size, sound, etc
