Gigantobitchecus

Disclaimer* The title is a play on words in an effort to emphasize my feelings. No disrespect was intended toward the late giganto or their species. I'm sure they were a fine bunch and not bitchy at all. 

I just realized a majority of this community  is in the market for power. Not fame and fortune, but authority. Not the authoritative right to speak freely concerning a subject that very little is known, but the authority to rule. They simply enjoy being in a position where they have the ability to spew whatever garbage they like and then delete, block and ban anyone who crosses them. Or doesn't cross them. They sometimes reject another person with not much reason at all. At other times they quietly set upon their throne of judgement and oversee as peacekeepers. One minor slip up and you may be forever shunned. I've noted it a lot and find it absolutely hilarious. 

For a quick moment, well months actually, I was under the very naive impression that Bigfoot was the centerpiece of this community. Discussion of, debate over, hypothesis and theories of. Rarely is that the case. And when it is it's only available in certain places and in very short spurts. I've also found that most times when good discussion is proposed it receives far less attention than a post that instead offers an opportunity to analyze, rip down or tear apart another person. 

Ego is the centerpiece of this community and from what I see it has been for awhile. It's not a fight to the finish with the goal being Bigfoot. It's a fight to the finish where the ultimate prize is to be the last one standing.....all alone.....with not even one single Bigfoot for miles around. 

Bear Necessities

I've followed and followed up on a lot of different Bigfoot groups, researchers, claims, projects, initiatives, what have you, in the last few weeks. A lingering question of mine is how some of these folks happen upon Bigfoot activity quite often during their leisurely outings? I've no problem with their being well versed or experienced on the subject. In fact, I appreciate their gracious sharing of what they believe to be authentic activity. Whether they come across prints, structures, hairs, the creature itself, whether or not it's squatting, peeking, loping or casting stones. or they record howls, hoots, whoops or whistles in the night. Wonderful! 

Now my big question, why is it that while in these vast, forested areas, they rarely report stumbling upon the recognized species? I think it'd be more fascinating if they did. I mean, surely they're running into the more populated, officially recognized, well documented species within these habitats. Bears, moose, mountain lions, arctic hares(based on today's weather). At least evidence of them. You get me? 

I'd assume that any if those species along with many other would be easily accessible in some of these areas. More so than a large undiscovered primate. And I'm truly interested as some of these existing creatures are one the top reasons I keep my ass out of the woods. It seems pertinent that documentation be done to an extreme degree. Leaving out any other wildlife activity you may encounter seems hasty. It could be pertinent to your research. Unless you're only encountering bigfoot. Then it's fine to omit info on other various woodland creatures. At the same time it would appear odd that you only encounter activities that correlate with Bigfoot. It would seem you'd have a better chance of encountering the more populous species in average rather than the possibly diminishing, elusive, currently undiscovered species. 

So, if you are having run ins with what you consider to be the lesser impressive predators and forest foragers, please start including them in your documentation. I'm sure some folks would be very interested in those aspects of research as well. And at some point it may be crucial to your efforts. It's nature and you're in it. Tell us what's going on.
