The Case for Sasquatch by Bob Gymlan

[putnam6]

Great reply Putnam6!

Am aware I come off "crusty". 
Been in this 56yrs with on-off random events with them thru out & scratching for answers along the way. Fair to say my patience ran out a few miles back. You're very correct the east coast/southern varieties don't "seem" to have as many problems living "around" people as do the ones in the farther north or northwest. But then again they've had much more practice at it.

Constantly chewing over old news is exactly like a cow standing in a field chewing cud and what's dropping out of either are not pearls of wisdom. 

Point of fact. Humans hunting humans is beyond the pale. 
That's exactly what the hobby of bigfooting is. Call a spade a spade. Do I or anyone other than probably the govt know what genius Homo they are? Nope! But by their behavior it's pretty clear they are. Like any other group of indiginous peoples who want nothing to do with us, equally I have no issue with respecting their line in the sand. 

What I've said is not aimed specifically at you! Truly!! It's because left on the internet someone who needs to see it will find it. There are too many gatekeepers of info in bigfootery, too much bs, too many people romping around looking for a BF but know virtually know nothing about the environment, wildlife, tracking, scat identification, or even what's REALLY edible. They however bought a thermal camera, bionic ear threw out some type of bait an expect results. If they aren't going to spend the time in educating themselves about the rest of it? Then it's fair to ask "Just what nonsense exactly are they playing at?"

Bear with me a sec. 
For example, a bunch of humans go set up in a campground in a place near where there have been previously reported sightings hoping for a "experience". OK fair enough. I have yet to hear of any EVER scouting around the backside of the entire campground's sites looking for BF trails where campers are easy for BF to have observed in the past. If BF are anywhere remotely around you'll find one or two campsites that demonstrate easy sneak up trails. Easy for BF but usually not terrain a human would think is easy travel.

I swear to gosh this "snip" is NOT rocket science! None of it! Just common sense.

Ha Im crusty myself, just not about this topic, it's just a pastime, my opinion comes from all the reading and accounts well before the current Bigfoot mania, statistically there are so many reports it's hard to fathom every one of those accounts being lies, hoaxes or misidentifications. Especially the numerous and detailed accounts in Rain Coast Sasquatch and other books.

I watch podcasts sometimes but I prefer the more grounded ones that are less people and intrusive, It's more for entertainment than anything. I read and watch with a skeptical eye, even on Bigfootforums.com 90% could be BS but it's that 10% of the stories 

But forget that it sounds like you have some experience. If you are up to it, I'd like to hear the stories
