Ignorance has often been the default catalyst for "explaining" the (presently) unexplainable. Hundreds have been burned at the stake or thrown into the pond (of course, after a priest had blessed the water) for having thoughts/ideas that were outside the nine dots of that days' conventional thinking. Nostradamus even wrote "in code" or withheld info lest he too have suffered the same fate.
Modern science even has some of these vestiges in that something which cannot be "explained" within it's protocol is usually dismissed as fantasy. When you stop and think about (it in my simple countryboy logic) that's a rather arrogant (and therefore, ignorant) human position in that just because something doesn't neatly fit the paradigm it must be myth. IMHO, man isn't God (especially within the "god" of modern science) and man doesn't "know" everything with the more astute of mankind being those that "know" they don't know everything.
Having only been on this planet for ~55 years I'm still learning (most days) new stuff. The experiences and encounters were (allegedly) while I was in a state of somewhat lucid cognizance and therefore while "unexplainable" nonetheless real time events. I cannot explain (scientifically) exactly what the subject in those events is/was but it was something that possessed (i.e., treestand incident) strength beyond any human capability I'm aware of. ~15,000 years of ancestral legend and lore cannot be ignored either for at the very least it is a significant contributor to the preponderance of the evidence. Thousands of people scattered across an entire continent w/o the benefit of CNN or the internet had remarkably similar experiences with something they could not "explain".
Perhaps, while looking for BF people are too focused upon looking for BF in that the trees constantly get in the way of the forest. If it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen and likely the old boy scout motto may be the best approach. Also, on a personal note (and a quantum leap from where I was a couple years ago) killing something for the sake of killing it is major bad medicine and if these "things" are what NA legend bears them out as the karma will be a real bitch.
