Any believers out there? I keep watching these shows on the travel channel hoping to see some real proof besides random howls, body heat cameras and hair samples. Still interesting.. but in the modern age of HD cameras, fuzzy video footage is no longer cutting it. They do find large hand and foot prints though!!

Putting aside the extreme elusiveness of something so large, to the point that most consider it an urban legend, I have a very hard time believing they wouldn't be able to track a bigfoot with dogs, so no, I'm not a believer.

In the last episode I watched, a blood hound lead them to the mouth of a cave and then started crying and wouldn't go any further.

I've hunted in some remote places. It's hard to say for sure what does or doesn't live out there. I'm not a believer, but a realist when it comes to remote spooky places.

When it comes to remote spooky places, the most dangerous animal you'll encounter is MAN. I don't worry about animals much. Even hiked the backcountry of Canada, Montana and Alaska in bear country in spring/summer and never had a problem. But honestly? Having a girl with me I was armed with a large gun - and not for bears - well hidden but in easy reach. North American wilderness has a bad rep (including Canada) and deservedly so. Horrid killer creature called MAN can still be found in the most remote places. My many TX remote river canoe expeditions were especially in need of weapons due to the proximity of road crossings and nearby towns and cabins you can't see from the river. The Brazos and Village Creek were absolutely "Deliverance-like" and if the gangs of backwoods bogans we ran into hadn't seen our weapons, there's no telling what would've happened. Caddo lake has got some great bass fishing, but go armed. We always armed down here on Robicheaux Bayou so we do it just the same anywhere else.
Note - don't be camping rough on NM forest roads. Trust me on that. You may not wake up. Had some guys try to set us up there once. We didn't fall for the "broken car trick", and when he reached to shake my hand, he saw me pull by Browning from behind my back and put it my holster under my shirt. He said "that's cool brother" and backed away. The two would-be rapists walked back to their "broken" car just in sight down the road and DROVE away - and we immediately left NM never to return. (I had my BADGE too but didn't show them that.)
Wilderness and remote areas can be fun and beautiful, but never let your guard down, and never go unarmed.

I want to believe but a bigfoot would have been found by now.....dead or alive. They do find new species every week but nothing near that size. I will hold out for a glimmer of hope and say that there is a 99.999% chance it doesn’t exist :laugh:

I believe. Because I saw a North American ground sloth once. Those things were supposed to be extinct for over 10,000 years.

So maybe Mother Nature, aka the spirit of our creator, makes these odd creatures just so she can remember how.

I do like to believe in the unexplained but the evidence is just not there. Do they wear diapers and is there a Bigfoot Graveyard deep within the earth? No droppings or skeletal remains makes it hard to believe.

But if they do exist, they're smarter than we are to stay out of sight. No doubt humans would do damage to them like they have everything else on this planet.

No, I don't believe there's an actual creature out there like Bigfoot. It's a story that's been passed down for generations starting with the Native American tribes.

Not a believer. There is no hair been found, no bones, no footprints no nothing ever.
