Surely you jest. :)
I saw a SQUATCH in the garden. Have not seen it since last year though. We will keep an eye out for it this year. Saw a BIG one last year. SCARY! :D
They're REAL....sorta a yellow tint.
david

I saw one here on the Forum a few years back.

Last time I saw this guy he was tilting at a windmill.
The Pacific Northwest has some pretty serious Sasquatch hunters. The best show I saw on it so far was a group of large primate scientists that did a pretty thourough job of researching probabilities of one or more being in the forests. They concluded that any primate that has such a large brain must consume too many calories to survive in regards to available food sources in old growth conifer forests.
Last year my wife put on a few pounds and has a bit of excess hair so in conversation I drew a resembulance to a female Sasquatch in jest but it was not as hillarious as I anticipated.... :) That is as close as I have been to one....
likely as close to blunt trauma too!
Davdi
Sure thought I seen one a couple years ago while cutting firewood, but it turned out to be some kinfolk....
Jim
its against the law to shoot at or kill one in Wa. state. Thats all iam allowed to say on the subject.
When I was a kid back in the 70's there was a movie made. It was pretty awesome for a young kid to watch. But I have a copy of it on DVD now that I've seen much of the world. What a corny B movie. :D :D
David,no I'am not talking about butternut squatch.So much for scientific studies on the FF. Frank C.
Surely they must be real. For what other reason would this sign be posted. ;)

I had a couple in my garden too ..... I ate the suckers.
My question is, what do you do if you actually see one? Say Hi? Run? Go up and introduce yourself? Hand him a cold beer?
Can't see how you could go wrong handing it a cold beer ;). I don't think after all this time someone wouldn't have at least found the remains of one if they do exist, on the other hand I've watched a few of those shows on tv, tell me what kind of critter wouldn't run away from those goofs out there fumbling around and making all that racket in the dark.
My eight year old loves the show Finding Bigfoot. We watch it together. He loves saying "they always fail". I get amusement out of it also. I like how they say things about Bigfoot like they have proof and have seen Bigfoot do the things they talk about. The other day just as church was letting out my three year old said it looked squatchy in there, luckily only me and my wife heard him. We just laughed. :D
:D Come to Sasquatchewan we have lots of em here. :D We grow em big and extra hairy for our long cold winters. :D One was sited near here the other day hitch-hiking on a back country road but wasn't given a ride because he was to smelly. :D

Messin' with sasquatch..
If your eating beef jerky don't mess with sasquatch. Frank C.
I haven't seen a Sasquatch but I saw Elvis at the local Burger King today. 8)
We had a big fiasco a couple years back, there were some big tracks found on a local forest road, they made plaster casts and pretty soon Bigfoot Inc. was on site and he was able to verify that we had an authentic bigfoot ::) It was callex the Six Mile bigfoot after the name of the forest road. I Always figured it was one of the plus sized gals from the local village running around barefoot :) Now a local signed on as the Mn representitive of Bigfoot Inc. Glad we'll have local representation...
There was a gentleman who attended our church-- a nice guy, I knew him a little-- he was shy and quiet, but anyway, he had shaggy hair, glasses, a kind of comical nose, and a long beard-- like maybe 12 inches or so. He was also skinny and angular in build. My young son saw him in church, pointed, and said, "a monkey!"
could he buy insurance from geico?
Holy Crap!! :D Can I say that? I cannot believe Burlkraft did not weigh in on this post. Has he never admitted to anyone that his stepson is majoring in Anthropology at UW Madison for the purpose of studying BigFoot?!?!? ??? ??? Chase(my son, his stepson) has believed in Sasquatch since about 5 yrs of age-he is nearly 23. He graduates in May and his dream is to either do grad work under a BigFoot specialist at Idaho State or work in the Cryptozoology museum in Portland, Maine. :o :o :o :o :o Being the supportive mother I am, I took him and five of his friends to Oklahoma when he was 15 on a BigFoot search. He had seen a special about how many times BF was spotted in the hills there and heard the locals testifying to that fact. The locals we spoke to do indeed believe in BigFoot :) :) :) :)--so, YES he is real. :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\
Ya mean real like Santa Claus?
If we believe in Santa Claus, yes SC is real - so BF could be just as real in the mind. ;)
I believe there is a possibility BF exists. I also think it's somewhat possible that somewhere on the planet, dinosaurs could still be alive. But neither has been empirically proven beyond all doubt and brought out into public for the skeptics to view with their own eyes.
Sorry, Santa Claus is not real..Hate to break it to you. Now I need to go get my Easter Bunny traps out. I'm gonna get him this year. Hungry for rabbit.

The real St. Nicholas died many centuries ago.
I like hunting for chocolate Easter eggs. At the drugstore the day after Easter when they are half off.
Might as well get trolls out of the way.We have two varietys, trollus culviticus [common culvert troll] and trollus maritima [salt marsh troll] Frank C.
Trollus Spannus is the common bridge troll in Europe. Then there is Trollus Matrix, the common internet troll. And Trollus Aqualacus, the Red-bellied Lake Troll. My daddy used to fish for them with a trolling motor.
Ya'll didn't hear about Santa?

(https://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/22539/rps20120327_172441.jpg) saw this big one at the feed store today!
Well, I for one think that they're real,,and do in fact exist. The indians told of them,,too many almost sightings by reasonably reputable people. My guess is they're smarter than we think,,n just want left alone.
Also believe in ufos,, n dont think we're alone here
Now where's that runnin for cover smiley????
We call the big hairy fella's "Yowies" down here. A guy at work and his son in law go Yowi searching, :) they say they find hair and nests/beds, trees rubbed at unusal heights etc, I get a chuckle out of it, especially when they reported sighting one on the river out the back of our farm. :D :D My son has camped out there all night fishing regularly on his own since he was 13yrs old, its rough heavily timbered country but he's never seen anything out of the norm. I just think there would be tangible evidence by now if they did exist.
Mayby we should tell internal revenue squatch cheated on his taxes, they'll hunt him down.Na no one deserves that. Frank C.
Wood-Mizer needs to make sure I have more time allotted to perusing the forum so that I don't miss posts like this one! :D
I actually have something to add. A couple years before I began working for WM, I was running a local video production business on the Olympic Peninsula in WA. One day, I got a call from a producer for an upcoming show hosted by Bob Saget, called "Strange Days". The show was going to highlight several unusual cultures and groups of people in the US, such as Biker gangs, the Amish, and yes, the Indians in Washington who have maintained legends of Sasquatch.
What they needed from me was to drive to this tribe who lived on the sparsely populated west side of the peninsula, and film some 'pre-interviews' with 5-6 local eyewitnesses. Also, I was to visit the locations where people most often sighted him. Intrigued, I accepted the gig.
When I arrived and shot the interviews, I was surprised at the sincerity and lack of exaggeration in the accounts I heard. Not one story was exactly the same, but they all shared similar descriptions of the creature: the distinctive smell (those who got close enough to it), the long golden fur, the uprightness of his walk, etc. One lady was a regular 'soccer mom' who had seen the creature walk across the road about 10 years back. One guy had seen it while chopping firewood. One lady saw a baby sasquatch on the bridge coming into town. None of them claimed to have seen the creature more than once, but they all claimed to have seen it clearly and in broad daylight. All the older ones shared how their parents and grandparents warned them of Sasquatch in the night. They all shared how many fisherman who ventured too far upriver were hailed with stones from high above them - apparently Big Foot likes his privacy.
The curator of the local museum had seen one down at the abandoned National Guard station. She took me down there and showed me where she saw him. I caught everything on film that I could, and sent it back to the producer in LA. Bob Saget came up about 6 weeks later and they filmed the show. Still haven't seen how the show turned out...
Am I a believer? Can't say. It was a truly unique experience that gave me some things to think about. On the other side of the world, my father-in-law grew up as a missionary in northern Burma. One of the local tribal hunters, and a good friend of his, claimed to have stalked and shot at a Yeti in the mountains... His description of the Yeti was remarkably like the accounts I filmed.
Ok... now I got to get back to work :D
In this day and age when virtually everyone is carrying a camera, it is not unreasonable to expect a picture of a sighting, if there really is a sighting. I would be seriously against someone shooting or harming one just to prove their existence.
We have lots of the female variety up here in Alaska. We call 'em Tundra Wookies. If I say anymore, I will get thrown in the Wood Shed, which as it happens, is where many Tundra Wookies like to hang out. Many a pour soul has been lost there.
We saw them in Fairbanks. A few days later I asked the Denali tour bus driver about them, and he gave me the rundown. It is so sad to see lives completely thrown away.

Evidently they don't eat Grits or they would have worked they're way South by now. :)
Hey, we've got that kind in every state. Male and female. I wouldn't worry too much about it, as far as making headlines. Plenty around here, and up in Maine, too. We just try to help them out the best we can. Most of the time, they don't really want real help, but sometimes they do. We'll be seeing more wookies about if the economy gets worse. We just put in a bid at clearing out 80 acres of land behind a Walmart, where some have been squatting. I guess they'll have to go squat somewhere else. :(
