hard to criticize 2 guys just going for a hike and taking pictures, and producing a killer music video of what I saw …. thanks for getting out with me Jim - it was a major bit of excercise

I apologize if super fleas, Bigfoot, Reinhold Messner, and ridicule all got mixed together in a previous post of mine. There is humor to be found, for sure, but I have some slight acquaintance with bmacd and will go with the Zauman/physics analogy; it is beyond me to determine whether he is serious or not.

We are now very close to the publish date of the continent wide DNA study of Sasquatch in a science journal by Dr. Melba Ketchum. Look for my name in the foot notes of the paper for having sourced and contributed valid Sasquatch DNA samples to the study.
Todd Standing asked me to share and distribute this image taken in 2011 in the Southern Canadian Rockies.
The study will reveal that Sasquatch are part of the genus, homo, and that they are also part of our (homo sapiens sapiens) evolutionary ancestry.

"we" as in all humanity.
Ron, yes Justin Smeja's sample checked in as valid, as well as 26 other samples. My colleague Randy Brisson from Maple Ridge, BC. managed to source DNA from 5 distinct individuals out of Golden Ears Provincial Park here in BC. See up thread images from the trackway Jim Brennan and I found at Golden Ears in 2010.
The BFRo were not involved in the DNA study, but somehow the study arose from a collective effort by the people whom actively pursue field investigations into the subject.

hey,
anybody want to go on a REAL bigfoot hunt where we actually have a permit, hit this thread up....i only charge 10,000$ per person and i guarantee that we wont find him or her.....plus i wont charge you for USFS fines....
http://news.yahoo.com/bigfoot-hunter-fined-national-parks-193801994.html
When Bigfoot hunter Matt Pruitt led an expedition through the Arkansas woods in search of legendary woodland apes, all he bagged was a lousy government fine.
According to The Republic, The National Parks Service cited the leader of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization for not having a permit when he took 31 Sasquatch seekers to sites along Arkansas' Buffalo National River last month. Any expedition that charges a fee requires a permit from the federal government, and Pruitt had charged participants $300 to $500 apiece to participate in the hunt.
Rangers cited Pruitt for engaging in a business without a permit or written agreement, and fined him $525. Pruitt said it was an innocent mistake and that he paid his fine last week. Even with the fine, the numbers suggest he raked in between $9,000 and $15,000 in profit. [Americans More Likely than Canadians to Believe in Bigfoot]
The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization hosts 20 four-day hunting expeditions each year. The BFRO's mission is "to resolve the mystery surrounding the Bigfoot phenomenon, that is, to derive conclusive documentation of the species' existence," according to its website.
The group has yet to kill or find the remains of an actual Bigfoot, but bits and pieces of "physical evidence" are obtained during most hunting expeditions, from footprints to scat to "shining eyes" seen in night camera footage.

I know all the myth and stuff...but putting it another way...how many have been in the backwoods and was awakened by something that you never heard before that made the hair all over you body stand on end. Not just a noise but a scream that you will never forget. This has nothing to do with the wives toy thread...but a scream/roar that was deep and long...more then one sequence so it was not a dream.
just wondering

Let me guess who's lab is going to do that 'DNA study'.

The DNA study was done under auspices of Dr. Melba Ketchum, Texas. The paper is presently nearing completion under the peer review process for publiction in a science journal. I was one of a handful of people in the world which brought forward qualifying DNA material, sourced from the British Columbia coast range. Melbas team has also invited me to join her Society which will lobby for the protection from harm and basic human rights for these prehistoric people, to whom we, homo sapiens sapiens, are related and share a lineage.

Big names in establishment science are getting into the DNA testing of supposed yeti remains. Brian Sykes, of Oxford University in England is teeming up with Lausanne Museum in Switzerland to run DNA sampling on various worldwide samples. Sykes invented the industry of genetic testing for historical and genealogical purposes with Oxford Ancestors, and he is the person who figured out how to do DNA testing on neanderthal remains. Whatever he comes up with will be considered authoritative.

Man killed while trying to create Bigfoot sighting

KALISPELL, Mont. — A man dressed in a military-style "ghillie" suit and apparently trying to provoke reports of a Bigfoot sighting in northwest Montana was struck by two cars and killed, authorities said.
The man was standing in the right-hand lane of U.S. Highway 93 south of Kalispell on Sunday night when he was hit by the first car, according to the Montana Highway Patrol. A second car hit the man as he lay in the roadway, authorities said.
Flathead County officials identified the man as Randy Lee Tenley, 44, of Kalispell. Trooper Jim Schneider said motives were ascertained during interviews with friends, and alcohol may have been a factor but investigators were awaiting tests.
"He was trying to make people think he was Sasquatch so people would call in a Sasquatch sighting," Schneider told the Daily Inter Lake (http://bit.ly/PWJvA5); on Monday. "You can't make it up. I haven't seen or heard of anything like this before. Obviously, his suit made it difficult for people to see him."
Ghillie suits are a type of full-body clothing made to resemble heavy foliage and used to camouflage military snipers.
"He probably would not have been very easy to see at all," Schneider told KECI-TV (http://bit.ly/PkdWMO ).
Tenley was struck by vehicles driven by two girls, ages 15 and 17, who were unable to stop in time, authorities said.
