People who believe in Bigfoot are the funniest. I usually get annoyed with people that delusional but they just crack me up.
I wouldn’t believe even if we didn’t have game cameras but with the fact we have game cameras and nobody has been able to produce one credible photo or video is evidence enough for me that they 100% do not exist.
I would believe in the existence of the black panther before Bigfoot but they obviously don’t exist either.

Some guys that seemed to know what they are talking about said Melanistic Cougars (Mountain Lions) do not exist. The big, solid black cat is a Melanistic Jaguar. And Jaguars are as far north as Mexico.

It would certainly explain something very odd that happened to me in West Texas a few years back. But no, I don't think they exist for the reason mentioned before about all the game cams and zero pics. Man you can't just leave at that! Care to share what happened?

No one has ever killed a black one, yet everyone knows someone who has seen one….
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

They remind me of the birds aren’t real folks and flat earthers. The Bigfoot folks are generally peaceful critters though so if it makes them happy then go for it. It’s sad though some of them spend tens of thousands of dollars a year for nothing.

A Democracy is when two wolves and a lamb vote on the dinner menu. That is why this country was specifically not designed as a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic.

It’s possible that on the border, big bend area or far southern Arizona someone could see a black jaguar but that would still be 1 in a million. Black mountain lions however do not exist and any so called sightings are completely bogus.

But no, I don't think they exist for the reason mentioned before about all the game cams and zero pics. Man you can't just leave at that! Care to share what happened? I shot a huge hog (over 200 lbs) late one evening during deer season. I tied a rope to it and used my jeep to drag it off about 200 yards from my feeder onto a sandy knoll. I had done this several times before to use as coyote bait the next morning and it had always worked. Next morning I'm back at that feeder sitting in a tripod and when the sun came up enough to see the knoll, there was no hog. I figured the coyotes had got really busy and ate it down to the hide during the night. After the hunt I got down and walked over to where I had left the hog and there was no sign of it at all. No blood, no bones, no skin, no hair, just nothing. I could clearly see my tracks and the drag mark where the hog slid along the ground. It was like something picked it up and carried it off. I spent close to an hour looking around in the area for any type of sign and found absolutely nothing. I know the hog was dead because he had already rigorred and was stiff as a board when I drug him off. I have zero explanation for what happened.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

There is a a big foot that lives here in central Texas. If you see mountain lion tracks there is a Bigfoot close. They have trained the mountain lions to alert them where any electronics are. Mountain lions also kill animals and bring them to the Bigfoot so they can stay out of sight. We have seen this Bigfoot a couple times a year. They are extremely smart.

The question was settled for me many decades ago.
There is no Cajun Recipe for Bigfoot/Sasquatch, therefore... it does not exist.
Spartans ask not...how many, but where!

Do you believe or not?
If yes, Why?
If no, Why?
Lots of bigfoot documentaries on the tube, its a huge topic of conversation at the moment. If Big Foot existed, the Cajuns would have a recipe for it. Find the recipe

I was in a Christian Outdoor Men’s group years back. We had a guest speaker that was head of some Bigfoot hunting organization. He debunked all of our game cams, thermals, drones, hunters, and any other common sense argument against it. Turns out they are the most sophisticated creature on earth and even see infrared light rays to avoid game cameras and thermal optics. So that’s ehy you guys can’t find one…..

A customer in the Arlington area told us his son was the main guy on Finding Bigfoot. We asked if Bigfoot really existed, he stated “well, I don’t really know, but my son makes a lot of money from it”.😁😁

Yes, no? I don’t know. But I like the idea they are out there.
My friend who’s ranch I hunt had a similar story to Texan till I die. He shot a 200 lb. hog, went to get truck, returned and hog was gone. Following the drag marks into woods finds a large black cat eating it. Decided tangling with it alone barehanded was a bad idea and backed out. He had a bunch of rancher neighbors over and subject of black cats came up. Four had seen them.
I was in the middle of nowhere in Arizona mountains and talked with an OLD cowboy. He asked, "Ever see a mountain lion?" No. "They saw you."

Again, all these people see them but the black ones never get shot, only the tawny brown ones….
