Hey Shooter, what other interesting things have you people from Roswell,NM seen, or think you've seen, or talked to people that think they might have seen?
And BTW, what a great true story by u.e!
Oops, gotta go now, something huge going thru the front yard heading in the direction of Cincinnati!

I've never seen anything real strange. I've only lived here for a year. Some people around here are pretty strange themselves and some claim to have seen strange things. I'm not a believer in Bigfoot, just curious and wondered if anyone on here had ever had any "experiences".

My thoughts......could there be Bigfoot..??....possibly. No I have never seen one, but think of how many deer and bears there are....now how often do you find the remains..??.. due to scavengers, rodents etc. the remains are usually "recycled". Even here in my area of Indiana there were serveral tribes of "Indians", from my reading I understand their method of burying the dead was to take them into the forest, lean the body against a tree and stack wooden limbs and such around it. Yet in all my wanderings around the area I have never found any remains. If the bigfoot were to die in the wilderness maybe they also cover the remains with forest litter. I have seen TV programs on the studies of chimps, when one of theirs dies, they throw leaves, sticks etc... on the remains until they are covered. Does bigfoot exist..??.. I hope so

Problem is is that there is no factuial(sp) eveidence that they exsist. Monster Hunters, IIRC is the name of the show that I watched a few months ago that they think they found DNA from one, but nothing has come forth from that. Now if they had proof of DNA why would it not all ready be revealed? And they way they used it look like more than enough proof that it was in fact a large footed "bigfoot" that stepped on a big wooden plate of screws and left the DNA. But again, why hasn't anyone come forth and said anything.

"Elephants are essentially fragile; huge eating machines that require not only a great quantity of vegetation in a day, but also a wide selection of different plants including the bark of trees to provide the trace elements and minerals essential for such a large frame. They are delicate in infancy and by design have been equipped with a surprisingly inefficient digestive system, passing 6% protein in their dung. Once denied the essentials in their diet, they weaken rapidly, which forces them to retreat to sources of permanent water where conditions are inevitably worse. Before all others, they are the first to feel the affects of malnutrition, inducing a condition known as ketosis, which is a painless lethargy caused by lowered blood sugar levels, even when there is food in the stomach. What that food lacks, however, is the quantity and nutritional components needed to maintain strength. The elephants become comatose, spending a lot of time asleep, devoid of energy to move far from water. Inevitably, one day, they simply cannot get up and then the end comes quickly and quietly. They die surrounded by their loved ones who bring comfort and love right up until the end, and who then have time to mourn as they "bury" their dead, comforting each other in their bereavement. (It is this natural die-off that in the past gave rise to the legendary myth of "the elephants' graveyard" when the bones of many elephants were found near sources of permanent water)."

Iv never seen one but the day I do there
will be irrefutable proof that there exist.

Heard lots of stores.

Not a 'Bigfoot' but I recently photographed this Nullabor Nymph in the far west of their range on the Bullahpoo Flats.

Hey, that's my boss. Or his, wife, it's hard to tell.

I never did believe in the existence of Big Foot until I read the post by ursavus! Sure would like to sit around his campfire exchanging hunting stories!!

I had a Bigfoot come over the other day to borrow a cup of sugar. All I had was White Satin and he wanted C&H. Seems he was making peanut butter cookies (strange, I admit, because everyone knows Bigfoots (feet?) are allergic to peanuts) and the recipe called for C&H. Well, he got all upset off and started using foul language so I said Hey there! There's no call for you to be abusing me like that in my own house and I don't give a dang if you are Bigfoot or not, I'll poke your eye out for you, see there now.
That seemed to calm him down some so we sat down with some coffee and Jack Daniels for to talk a bit. 'Pears he lost his job down at the Bigfoot Center runnin' around in the woods leaving Bigfoot tracks. (They got a deal with the local Hospitality union where they get a cut of the take from the motels off the interstate.) What with the wife sick and all he hadn't been making his quota of tracks so he tried taking credit for bear spoor and they canned him. Fudgin' his time card and all. Figures.
So we got to discussin' his career options and it's darn sparse. Sales is out, for obvious reasons. Tough to get into teaching these days without at least a Master's degree, and he never went past high school. Not much of an athlete.
So we figured he could be a politician! A fiscal conservative strong on moral issues, dedicated to tight border security and a staunch suppporter of the Second Amendment (limited government, too). A believer in a hand up, not a hand out, tough on crime (electric chair my butt, killers or rapists or career criminals would face electric bleachers, saves time and money) and willing to make the tough choices that would free us from our dependence on foreign oil. No company that hired illegal aliens would be able to deduct those wages from earnings, thereby leading to voluntary deportment. Security through strength but not a bully.
We talked long into the night planning our next move. Our spirits rose higher as the spirits in the bottle moved lower. Finally, as dawn began to break, we came to the realization that it would never work.

Believing in Bigfoot was one thing.

Finding a candidate with those qualities NO ONE would ever believe!
