Lawnflowers Jerky and Bigfoots

I love a site with a sense of humor. This has got it. Lawnflowers Jerky and Bigfoots is just that – pages about lawnflowers, pages about jerky, and lots of informative pages about Bigfoot. I found humor on the Author’s Page in the selection of photographs there.

Webmaster Dennis Bauer has been researching Bigfoot online for years, and has compiled an impressive series of links to Bigfoot information around the web. I especially appreciated the Bigfoot Behavior page which has links to sighting reports with Bigfoot vocalizations, among other things. This is a very effective and useful way to compile the results of internet research!

This site is the authority on Bigfoot in Alabama, with sighting reports divided into Upper Alabama and Lower Alabama. The Lower Alabama page includes parts of Florida nearby.

Ever wonder whether government agents are hiding Bigfoot information from us? I asked that question of a local forest service employee. He said that as far as he knew the information wasn’t classified, and that if there was anything to report it would be available to the public, but he added, “You would have to ask people higher up than me,” to get more information. Well…. here on Dennis Bauer’s site he has a helpful page called Bigfoot and Government. It contains links to sightings by government employees. Here in Happy Camp we had a sighting situation with two forest service employees and they did everything they could to cover up their involvement.

Permissions – How to get permission to reuse my blog content

In order to legally re-use anything found on this blog, you’ll need to request my formal consent. My email contact link is on the right side of the site between the search boxes. This covers all my writing, my photographs, and my graphics. All this content takes many hours for me to produce and it belongs to me whether there’s a copyright notice on it or not, according to United States Copyright Law.

Exceptions:

1. If I feature your site as Bigfoot Site of the Day you may reprint the review on your site, and use the graphic with your site’s name on it. An active link back to http://www.bigfootsightings.org would be appreciated.

2. If I feature your book you may reprint my reviews on your site if you are the author or publisher. An active link back to http://www.bigfootsightings.org would be appreciated.

3. “Fair Use” as explained in the US Copyright Law.

Permission to re-use my content by porting the RSS feed into another blog or website is expressly forbidden and always will be. What prompted me to add this is a copyright violation by a new site hijacking my content using RSS during August and September, 2009. My entire articles, photos and all, were reprinted without permission and without credit to me as author, or links back to my site, for several weeks before I noticed it. This is considered theft of intellectual property. It is a big issue for me because during those weeks I spent many hours doing research and writing articles for this site. To see my work reproduced in full by someone else without my permission was a very hurtful low blow. Here I was working and putting in a lot of time, when someone else decided to save time on blog development by using my words and images without asking! Without even giving me credit for them or linking to my site, the source of the articles. This issue has now been resolved as the articles have been removed from that site.

North America’s Great Ape: The Sasquatch – Dr. John Bindernagel’s Bigfoot Biology Site

Dr. John Bindernagel, B.S.A., MS, Ph.D., is a professional wildlife biologist based in British Columbia, Canada. He has studied Bigfoot evidence since 1975. In 1988 he found and cast a set of Bigfoot footprints near his home. In the mid-1990s he wrote a book, North America’s Great Ape: The Sasquatch Since that time he’s written some well-received scientific research papers about Bigfoot and some magazine articles as well.

I read his entire Bigfoot biology website today and appreciated his discussion of three types of Bigfoot evidence: tracks, sightings, and other phenomena. With his discussion of other phenomena he provided several excellent photographs of tree twists – broken by a force that’s hard to imagine unless it could be an actual Bigfoot.

I especially appreciated the page about whether Sasquatch witnesses are confusing Bigfoot with bears. He mentions that forestry workers and other outdoors people are unlikely to mistake a bear for something else. An illustration shows the vital differences between an upright bear and a Bigfoot, and even the tracks of each are examined for perspective.

Dr. Bindernagel doesn’t doubt that there’s a real creature called Sasquatch, and focuses on understanding the biological aspects of Sasquatch life. He’s documented the distribution of Sasquatch reports across the North American continent.

On his page about Sasquatch and science he wrote:

“One aspect of my own sasquatch research and writing is that of assisting in validating the sasquatch as a subject for serious research by mainstream sceientists. I have attempted to acquaint students of natural history, field naturalists and colleagues in science with existing data and evidence. I do not try to convince them to necessarily accept the sasquatch as an existing animal, but rather to recognize that it … may be a subject worthy of serious discussion and some research effort.”

Dr. John Bindernagle is a pioneer in the scientific study of Bigfoot. His contribution to Bigfoot research is very much appreciated.

Georgia Bigfoot

The Georgia Bigfoot website is the place to go for information about Bigfoot tracking in this forested southern state. Does Georgia seem like an unlikely place for a Bigfoot sighting?

Consider this:
Back in the 1990s a man living in a mobile home in Georgia was disturbed by something (or someone) walking around his home and pounding on the walls. Worse, the thing killed some of his dogs and stole lots of dogfood. His frequent calls to the Sheriff’s department were considered a nuisance. The result of this disturbance is the Elkins Creek footprint, cast by Deputy James Akin of the local Sheriff’s department. This footprint cast was studied by Dr. Grover Krantz and Jimmy Chilcutt and declared to be real. This is a sighting story worth reading and the site includes footprint cast photographs. On a separate page you can see Jimmy Chilcutt’s dermal ridge analysis of the Elkins Creek print.

Articles on this site include the practical matters of Basic Track Casting and Processing and Investigating Potential Sasquatch Evidence. The Photo Gallery has images from trail cams, tracks and casts, and wilderness scenes showing what the terrain in Georgia is like.

I looked over the entire site before moving on to the blog, which has quite a few valuable articles though it is no longer being maintained since the site was passed on to new owners at the end of 2007. What’s there is worth a read! It starts with Game Camera Survey Phase One, published March 2, 2006 by Samuel Rich. If you’re planning to use trail cams, this is a good primer. Or if you’d like to read about a wood-knocking, howling adventure, check out Mike2K1′s story, Serendepity…How we got from Point A to B. Part I and Part II. I also appreciated Red circles, shadows and the Blob agenda. I will come back to this blog to read the rest of the postings.
