I have always wondered what the 'game plan' was with 'calls' and 'wood knocks'? Is it just to see if you get some kind of response? Then, what if you do get a response? What does that prove? And what is it evidence of? How far can a sound carry in the bush? Bring a pump gun with you and you will see. If it was a 'one off' then I could understand giving it a try! What could it hurt? I would be very curious about that it was that first gave people the idea that sound blasting and wood knocking will lead you to a Sasquatch? But, enjoy!

Exactly.
Yes, I believe that some people get legit responses from these tactics, however there's still no recordings of them doing so. At best you get a response, so what. Congrats now you know there was something in your vicinity returning the same pattern. How does this enrich your beliefs? How does this contribute to science or even any investigative technique?
I believe I got wood-knocked one morning when I exited the tent and went to pee. I think I know whence it came almost down to the exact tree. I found evidence of something tramping down foliage, no prints.
Interesting? Intriguing? Maybe. Informtive? Not so much.

Unfortunately tree knocking leaves no evidence that is of any use to investigators. It isn't like recording bird calls, which have been previously identified and thus can indicate the presence of particular bird species. A 'knock' is just that, they are attributed to Sasquatch, but (to my knowledge) no one has actually seen one perform this feat, yet alone caught it on camera. The biggest problem with tree knocking is that those sounds often come from humans: those who watch too much TV and try to elicit a response. Sure, there are undoubtedly tree knocking which are not man-made, but as there is no way to clearly identify the source, which is which, then they can only serve to act an a possible indication of activity and sadly nothing more. Another thought: I wonder if 'tree knocks' are communication, but designed to warn others of human presence, an alarm. Therefore us 'knocking' would not likely elicit a timely response (see video link below): www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPsY9ExoEs4Richard

There's so many people out in the bush making noises these days how do you know if you're not blasting at each other? I kinda hate that sasquatch has become so mainstream. I don't really trust anything I hear out there any more.
By that, I mean if I hear something yelling in the bush the chances are likely it's someone blasting.

T I kinda hate that sasquatch has become so mainstream. I don't really trust anything I hear out there any more. Sadly this is also true for most paranormal topics - from UFOs to ghosts, with an increased public awareness of the topic, the number of false or grossly misrepresented events increases to the point that they swamp out / dilute the real actual evidence. In many ways with more people interested, we have to first overcome the mountains of BS before we are able to attempt to overcome the sheer enormity of whatever search you're on. As a rule, I blame TV - these "Hunters" (Ghost Hunters, Sasquatch Hunters and UFO Hunters) TV series. sparks an interest in the field, and muddies the waters for those of us already there. Boy ... am I jaded! RIchard

I don't consider the Sasquatch mystery a 'paranormal' question at all. I believe, if it exists, it's an animal and nothing more. One thing that gets brought up all the time is, if it's flesh and blood where is the fossil record? I'm no paleontologist but did you see the news of a skull that was found in China years ago but forgotten, I believe they're calling it homo longi. It's been recently rediscovered after being ignored in a collection. Apparently the skull is from around 146,000 years ago and is quite a bit larger than a modern human's. Could it be a possible ancestor to a sasquatch? www.sci-news.com/archaeology/homo-longi-09804.htmlen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Man_(archaic_human)

Just to add, I know Grover Krantz bet the farm on Gigantopithecus but they lived millions of years ago. It was the closest thing we had in the fossil record until now though. 146,000 years ago isn't that far back.
Perhaps homo longi crossed the Bering land bridge and inhabited North America before before humans? No idea but, personally, I think it's a big development.
What do you fellas think?

"H. longi is broadly anatomically similar to other Middle Pleistocene Chinese specimens, and potentially represents the enigmatic Denisovans, though this is unconfirmed. Like other archaic humans, the skull is low and long, with massively inflated brow ridges, wide eye sockets, and a large mouth. The skull is the longest ever found from any human species. Like modern humans, the face is rather flat, but the nose was rather large. The brain volume was 1,420 cc, within the range of modern humans and Neanderthals. "
Sound familiar?

I'm no paleontologist but You DID stay in a Holiday Inn Resort last night, right? If it can't be explained under the umbrella of orthodox science, it's paranormal. Kinda like "how women think" and other seemingly inexplicable phenomena. .

I can't explain anything. Especially where I slept last night.

Ya researchers showed up from 3 different directions with baseball bats in their hands. Play ball!

I haven't spent tens of thousands of dollars and burned thousands of miles of logging roads to play ball with researchers, and especially faker-assed utube posers. I'd like to show some of them a bat alright.

My problem with G. Blacki is that not only have they not found any fossils in North America, they haven't found any in Siberia (or anywhere in the former Soviet Union), Mongolia or even Northern China (iirc) There is no ape in the fossil record that is 8 feet tall (G. Blacki may have been, but most anthropologist think they were quadrapeds like gorrillas, and zome are now claiming that the original size estimates are grossly exagerated) www.britannica.com/animal/Gigantopithecus
