They Stalk Their Prey Buckeye Bigfoot Small Town Monsters

[WallFlowerActive]

How many millions of trail cameras sold.  Capturing clear images of everything from deer to bobcats?

And not one clear picture of a Bigfoot?




In addition to dash cams, security cameras, and people using infrared imaging to find wildlife populations in the wilderness….

There is crypted here in Western Australia known traditionally in this part of the continent  as "Woodarchie" the stories are similar to other "big foot" stories from the other side of the globe.

For those wondering if they are similar to "featherfoots" , no, they are not going to hurt you unless you are a real asshole.

They protect fresh water sources. You wont find that much about them on the web. Most accounts have seen as them as benevolent, yet still scary.

I enjoy the "what if" aspect of it all, always have...

If Bigfoot/Sasquatch is possible in North America,  some of the Yowie stories I read about Australia have the same tint of authenticity; Australia has always seemed untamed, and it's easier for me to accept the bipedal unknown primate possibility in Oz than anywhere else in the world.

Much like the existence of UFOs/UAPs could also easily see the government wanting to deflect, discredit, and cover up if they were to exist.

Not to be that guy, but the way governments have historically marginalized native populations, and much like Rubio alluded to the NHI question the first politician MIC group who hid it knew a lot, the next generation knew less and fewer knew, and next even less, they hid it partially so they could kick the can/issue down the road so they didnt have to deal with the religious and societal fallout.

In an ever shrinking habit as population grows where many people hunt deer and clearly imagine deer on trail cameras.  Yet not one Bigfoot has accidentally been shot, or shot on purpose, or shot out of fear in the whole history of firearms.  Where if Bigfoot supposedly hunt deer, not one Bigfoot clearly imagined on a trail camera where thousands if not millions of clear images of deer captured.  All under wildlife management from state to state that actively track dear populations and probably accurate with 10 percent.

What's your next anecdotal and incorrect simian theory?

Why's it so important to affirm the government's official position? 

 

 
Is blue tongue disease possible in primates?

 
Yes, bluetongue disease is possible in primates, including humans, but it is extremely rare and usually mild or asymptomatic.
Key facts:

• Bluetongue virus (BTV) is primarily a disease of ruminants (sheep, cattle, goats, deer, etc.), transmitted by biting midges (Culicoides spp.).
  
• Non-ruminant species, including carnivores and primates, can become infected, but they are generally considered dead-end hosts (they do not develop high enough viremia to transmit the virus back to biting midges).
  

Evidence in primates:

• Non-human primates:
  • Experimental infections in macaques, baboons, and other Old World monkeys have been documented.
    
• • Naturally occurring infections have been reported in zoos and wildlife parks (e.g., in Eurasian lynx, lions, and occasionally primates housed near infected ruminants).
    
• Humans:
  • Human infections are very rare but confirmed.
    
  • The best-documented cases involve laboratory workers accidentally exposed (needle-stick injuries or handling infected material without protection).
    
  • A few probable natural infections have been reported in people living in close contact with infected livestock during outbreaks.
    
  • Symptoms in humans, when present, are usually flu-like (fever, muscle pain, headache) and self-limiting. No fatalities have been recorded.
    

Specific documented cases in primates:

• 1970s–1980s: Several laboratory-acquired human infections in the U.S. and South Africa.
  
• 2007–2008: Serological evidence of BTV exposure in zoo primates in Europe during major bluetongue outbreaks.
  
• Experimental studies (e.g., in rhesus macaques) show they can be infected with various BTV serotypes, but clinical signs are minimal.
  

Bottom line:
Yes, bluetongue virus can infect primates (including humans), but:

• Natural infections are exceptionally rare.
  
• Clinical disease is usually mild or absent.
  
• Primates do not play a significant role in the transmission cycle.
  

So while it is biologically possible, bluetongue is not considered a significant primate or human health threat compared to its impact on sheep and cattle.

Yeah a lot of folk class them in the yowie group of "mythical" beings. All the sightings of Woodarchie are within the Swan-Canning catchment, but no sightings along the swan coastal plane. This confirms (kinda) they are freshwater beings.

Language wise the suffix -archie is used for some other "folk/beings", like  "featherfoots". They not like skinwalkers in Naviho culture but have similar abilities, under folklore.

It gets weirder when you look into the macroinvertibrates in Oak Creek (Oak Flat) Arizona, to some found here. I cant give you a source for that. They didnt swim there.

What's your next anecdotal and incorrect simian theory?

I enjoy nature photography and use many of the same techniques as my hunting buddies use.  Unless you get that perfect imagine or kill, it’s utter failure.  The only thing Bigfoot hunters offer is utter failure.  In an age of shrinking habitat, and millions of cameras owned by millions of wildlife enthusiasts and hunters. All would love to get that perfect capture of Bigfoot.  Including me. Again.  Thousands of clear pictures from deer to bobcats taken over and over again.  And yet no Bigfoot.

Either Bigfoot hunters are total blundering idiots where there has never been a Bigfoot accidentally shot because it was confused with a bear (even Dick Cheney shot someone in the face), or Bigfeet don’t exist like bear and deer.

Interestingly, in the NWT people will not travel in the evening either walking, cycling or even driving during the middle of September until the beginning of November unless they absolutely have to.

When I asked about this I was told that it is because the Hairy-man is migrating back south. And the same thing happens in the spring when they travel north. Apparently it’s about following the Caribou and being ahead of them in order to hunt and ambush.

I spoke to a large number of the people and they all believe, but only 2 would actually tell me stories of seeing them. One other guy was telling me about being out camping with a couple friends and their dogs when the dogs ran into their outfitters type tent and wouldn’t leave. He said that they had no idea what was going on, but that it got incredibly quiet in the bush but they never saw or heard anything, it just felt creepy.

Meh, who knows?

Suspend the default disbelief mindset for a moment, go listen to Bob Gymlan videos; he is just presenting the story 

I listen to or read very little from Bigfoot hunters, but there are a few that I believe have the right approach, like Small Town Monsters. thier documentaries seem well-balanced and aren't sensationalist, and their On the Trail of series is fair and well-rounded too. 

People being mistaken or an outright hoax doesn't apply to all the thousands of encounters, especially the ones from before it became entertainment media, and from credible persons that have no impetus to lie or hoax. Like those read about in Raincoast Sasquatch

Never said, suggested, or inferred "bigfeet" exist like bears or deer, only they could easily migrate seasonally following the other animals to where the berries and other edible plants are growing in abundance.

But I'm not here to convince anyone. Conversely, after 50 + years of reading about "bigfeet," I've heard every reason they can't be real, so while we have no conventional definitive proof, Eric Robert Rudolph hid in the Appalachians for almost 6 years with police and the FBI actively pursuing him. Staying unseen for an intelligent, shy, reclusive ape that knows to be wary of humans isn't going to be difficult. A human in the woods is a fish out of water by comparison 

I'll believe the people over the government. especially with the government's recent 80-year reversed attitude about UFOS/UAPS

Im open to the possibility, till I definitely hear and see concrete proof they do not, too many credible persons have no reason to lie about their encounters and the footprints

Staged and fake video/ pictures.  Really.

What real wildlife looks like..  Sounds of the hunt and tracks being made. Multiple clips with clear images.






Are people really fool by Bigfoot hoax videos?

Lets put this in perspective..


The wolf population of the US.

 

Where sadly wolves are open to hunting? Hope I’m wrong.

Nope. About 1,000 wolves harvested in the lower states.

Where there are active biology programs that study wolves. Even capture them and place tracking tags on them to be released to the wild. Where I have a research center in my state that has about 7 wolves in a large habitat.

Yet. Nothing conclusive concerning Bigfoot? In the whole history of automobile accidents, hunting, and capturing and tagging animals for research? With large incentives to capture a Bigfoot for study. Bigfeet are not flesh and blood like wolves.

I am chuffed that you are dedicated as a disbeliever, that you have all of your arguments and thoughts in a row WFA, but I am inclined to believe, and as such I hope that you have the chance of an experience with Sasquatch.

I have never enjoyed the argumentative side of the internet. ATS towards the end, here in the political mudpit or elsewhere. 

In the reality of day to day life, what difference does it make to anyone else if I believe in the Loch Ness Monster, the Bimini Road, the Bermuda Triangle or Sasquatch?

Meh, as usual, my 2 pesos….
