Glenda has this comment:

I have coffee with a forest service guy every day and I ask him if he believes in Bigfoot. He told me "Hell yes, do you think I'm in a coma!"

He said the forest service knows these things are real but won't admit it because of the loss of revenue when people find out there are boggie men in the forest.

People would stop camping etc. in the national forest.

Thank you, Glenda, for this interesting comment.

Kirk Stamper has this to say:

You're right as rain ML. Most of the BLM and Forest Service people do believe this creature is real and out there.

I remember once when I was at Powers Ranger District [Oregon] getting a firewood permit, an employee stepped outside with me and told me something that alarmed me.

She said "Mr. do you own a large gun?" I said I did and proceeded to ask her why. She said that several people had come into the office and reported some strange things up on FS 3348.

I asked her what strange things would she be talking about. She kinda got red in the face and said, "You know, weird things!"

I said please tell me more. She said that several employees had been up there to witness loud screams and tracks of something they couldn't identify. She said that a couple had insisted that they were run off by, I quote, "a big brown hairy monster."

I started to laugh and she said "The hell with ya. I've warned you."

I said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you."

She quietly said, "I know it sounds wacky, but it's the truth."

After that I went home and when I went up there, I had my 308 Norma Magnum with me. I didn't see nothing, but didn't feel right there either. Spooked feeling, I mean. Something was sure up there.

ML Comments on "Who Do You Call?"


Linda, after working with B.L.M. for the last few years, I've thought about this question for many years. I went to a meeting with some B.L.M. employees on forest animals in 2005 in Portland Oregon. I asked many in attendance if they believed in Bigfoot.

More than half of the field workers stated that they did, because of the sheer volume of track and sighting reports.

Some said they didn't believe in it because there aren't enough data to support the existence of it.

Some said they knew someone who had been ridiculed by reporting tracks and such. None were willing to flat out say it's a figment of peoples imagination.

I've been doing a lot of reading these last few days. In The Bigfoot Casebook, from 1833 to 1980, there have been many thousands of sightings [recorded].

All of the folks can't be dreaming they saw it. It's impossible for all of them to be mistaken with bears.

I've seen tracks where it was impossible for people to have faked them. Areas where nobody would just leave tracks and leave without making some kind of mark they had been there.
