Announcement: Bigfoot Ballyhoo has been under attack, in the past, by a couple of people who wished Ballyhoo and its editors to look as if they were hoaxing information.

One of the biggest examples would be the claim that we made up the ESP Team, Bill Emery, Cole Saxton and the late Hank Parchell. A well-known bigfoot researcher found photos that looked like Emery, Saxton and Parchell. He claimed the three to be the real men and not any part of the ESP Team. (In fact, he claimed there was no ESP Team).

And then while the Emery Team was processing trail cam photos a couple were sent to Ballyhoo. These photos turned out to be well-known bigfoot photos, one from a movie and one of Patty. The technician’s son that was processing the trail cam photos replaced the real photos with fakes. In good faith Emery sent the dallied-with photos to Ballyhoo. When it was found out what happened it was explained.

Another photo of a footprint with a believable history was given Ballyhoo to post. Turned out to be Tim Fasano’s photo from Florida. Again, we’ve given explanations for each occurrence. We were hoaxed.

We in time recognized each hoax and explained what happened

Lions and Bears

In Oregon, when we see deer grazing alongside the road, we are always amazed.
 
And in Oregon, we know that there are plenty of deer, bear and mountain lions. I've never seen a bear or mountain lion, and just a couple of times deer when hiking. I've never come upon a heap of bones from any of these animals.

So, it does not surprise me that I have not seen a bigfoot or its bones while hiking. This is my response when the question comes up Why don't more people see bigfoot or their bones? One point, many people see bigfoot. They just don't "report" it. Another point, the forest floor takes care of the dead animals in quick order. Most animals, I would think, do not die on a well-used hiking trail in the first place.

Again, we know lions and bears live in our Oregon forests, but few of us get to see them. And we know a fair number of people have observed what they thought was a bigfoot. We don't see the large population of deer, the moderate population of bears, a smaller yet population of mountain lions; so, is it any wonder we do not see what must be a very small population of bigfoot? ...
