Bigfoot Math

I enjoy this subject, I really do. I enjoy the people and the enthusiasm, hell, I even enjoy the negativity. It is truly mysterious. Not just the subject itself but every facet surrounding it.
Now, I'm no one to police the crowds or revoke people's Footer Licenses, but I'd like to insert my cheaper than cheap two cents.
As of late I can't help but notice how some are taking an already great mystery and attempting to complicate it further. Simple minded may not be the best choice when describing one's self but it's fitting here. Simple, unobstructed and open (we're gonna use open very loosely in its definition here). There are things we understand about this subject and the 
matters surrounding its possible existence. There are some answers that we're aware of and many more that we're not. We tend to have to work a bit harder at the unanswered questions. And you have a choice of how you go about doing so. 
Picture, if you will, a sixth grade math assignment. You are just about finished. Left unanswered are numbers 7 and 13 of the sheet. You have a few choices here.
1. You attempt to solve the problems by going back and reviewing previous work. You study, research your mind, exhaust all efforts in an attempt to find the correct answer. 
2. You guess.
3. You leave the answer blank and convince your teacher that if he/she looks close enough or perhaps opens their mind a little they'll not only see it, but they'll find that it is the most correct answer to ever cross their desk forever changing everything they thought they knew about math.

You see where I'm going with this? Enjoy your day!

Peanut Butter but no Jelly

I was wondering today why no two activities are ever noted at once. You have either a sighting, vocal, wood knock, print, tree break, structure or alleged kill. Now, some of these things occur together, but rarely is there solid evidence of any of them happening along with a sighting other than by word of mouth. I've never heard a vocal that showed the creature. I've never seen a video of a supposed creature that included a vocal. I've never seen a video or pic of a creature breaking a tree, making a kill or building a structure. I've only ever saw them walking around. One person who has shot a decent video within 50 yds has to have been brave enough to follow up with pics or vid of prints left behind. I mean you were right there. I've not seen that either. 
I'm not dogging, simply venting. I'm not criticizing research either as most of these vids/pics are produced by non researching types. Just wondering why there's always koolaid but no sugar, peanut butter but no jelly.

Is This the Real Life?

Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality......

Okay, seriously. I need to know. Are there actually people seeing Bigfoot? I believe it's possible. I really do. Scientifically, I don't know how far fetched it seems. But logically, in my mind, it doesn't seem absolutely crazy. In fact, I may be even more invested if it did.  I'm not sure who writes the rules but I don't think an 8 ft ape living in the nooks and crannies of North America's forests is breaking any. The ape may break rules, it's existence doesn't. Or does it? And what about a discovery? Are we close? I don't want to offend anyone by guessing no, but advances in technology have been more than generous in the last 10 yrs. Unless Bigfoot was forewarned that everyone is now armed with at least a shitty cell phone camera I see no reason why something of more substance hasn't been brought forth, photo wise at least. On the other hand I've stood perfectly still and had plenty of time to photograph a deer bedded down just 50 yds. away only to come home and find a blurry patch with possible ears in that particular photo.
My concern is that I've seen a genuine photo of Bigfoot and missed it as being such. It's such a controversial and easily manipulated topic that I've learned not to trust my own eyes. To be honest, I don't even know what I'm waiting for anymore. Oh, yeah, now I remember.

Compare and Contrast

No Squatches! This is an informational post. You may search the tree lines in these photos. You will not find anything. This photo was made to compare the area over a course of two years and during different seasons (top May 2011, bottom March 2013). 

I was reading in a bigfoot group where there was a suggestion of doing something similar when you're under the impression you've caught something of note among the trees or bushes on your camera. I think it's a fantastic idea and should be practiced more often. It could possibly relieve a lot of headache which often accompanies these type of photos. When time and resources are allowable go back to the spot and snap an extra shot. Obviously this isn't always possible. But if you can do it, I suggest it.

ID please?

If Bigfoot is out there, they obviously don't want to be found. To give up search efforts would be giving up a lifetime goal for some. While I haven't entered a place in my interest where I'd be overcome emotionally at a discovery or proof, I know some who would. 
My question is what would the follow up to an original, exclusive, scientific, sound discovery be? What's the next step? Depending on what sort of undeniable evidence is brought forth determines which unanswered questions will be solved. 
There are lots of species within nature that we don't have full facts on. A lot of unsolved mysteries. So, would any info be good enough for you? I know DNA studies are at the top of everyone's list as far as prime identification goes. Would that be enough? An undeniable, on the books ID of what these creatures are exactly? Would that put everyone's minds at ease? That seems to be the running trend. Accepted by science. Identified, classified and catalogued. Then everyone is satisfied? 
No way, I'm not buying it.

Big Fin

Okay, while it doesn't technically fall in line with anything considered bigfoot, it's still relevant as far as I'm concerned. And on the eve of the upcoming week dedicated to our fine, finned friends, I find it fitting.

Megalodon! This is a very interesting article featuring a few of our larger and more elusive ocean dwellers. Some in existence. Some unknown. Enjoy!
