State Highway 41 runs from Selma, Al in Dallas county south to Camden, Al in Wilcox county. Pretty sure we don't have a Quachita county in Alabama. You sure we're talking about the same place here ?

Camden Al is in Wilcox County Alabama
Camden Ar is in Ouachita County Arkansas.

Thanks PowPow. I just wanted Tal_Branco to have his places straight as I've been talking about Alabama the whole time. I have a friend in Hope, Ar. Spent most of his life in the woods cruising timber and he's never seen one either. That's supposed to be close to the "Boggy Creek Monster" if memory serves me correctly. The only monsters everyone saw that came from that area was the Clintons. ::)

You'd think if anyone saw one, it would be timber cruisers.

And where in Barbour county have you seen one?
With all of the game cameras set out in the area, I've yet to see any photos from them. I did see a photo of a mountain lion taken in Henry county some years ago, but the bigfoots seem to be able to avoid the cameras that are set up for game.

Sorry kynards, I thought you were talking about an area in south Arkansas. Been getting so much info from that area recently I just had it on my mind I guess.
 
There have been a lot of credible reports from the general area you mentioned. I have investigated and written field reports on several. In one case, two deputy sheriffs (two vehicles) had a close, but not a visual encounter with one on that road one night while answering a call from around Shepardville. The sheriff gave them permission to tell me their story. Rare indeed!

About 1-1/2 miles southwest of hwy 239, in the Pea River bottoms on the Barbour County side.
 
Game cameras usage for all wild animals is minimal when compared to the actual habitat available. Taking into account that the majority of game cameras are used to capture images of deer or turkey around man-made shooting blinds or feeders, it is not at all surprising that very few images of Bigfoot around such places have been obtained. In most of the images I've seen, the BF is mostly concealed watching to make a kill when its intended prey leaves the area of the feeder and camera. Bigfoot detect and avoid game cameras (and other man-made objects) in their foraging areas just as you would if someone place one in your back yard. Most games are set up to photo typical animals, not Bigfoot. Think about it; how many game cameras would it take to catch every dumb animal that crosses just (1) acre of woodlands?
 
The only thing you are missing is that BF is not, by any means, a dumb animal. They are a much better "woodsman/woman" than we are. A relatively few of us luck out and see one; but in most cases they have seen us first.

Well, what about the game cameras that are set up to specifically capture an image of bigfoot. They don't seem to ever get one either. Game cameras have come a long way in the last 10 years, so has the use of them. A lot of game cameras now have ir, no flash, are extremely quiet, and a lot of the guys I know use them in very unique ways. like putting them high up in the tree facing down, and also conceal their scent very well when putting them out. A lot of the cameras now have video features, and can be monitored from a cell phone. Bigfoot can sense the cameras is not a viable excuse for no game cam photos in my opinion. I have caught trespassers on my property many times with my cameras. So are you saying that bigfoot is more intelligent than a human? Deer have some of the keenest senses in the southern woods where I live. But are fairly easy to capture on a game camera.

The thing about believers is they are so contradictory. Bigfoot is very wary, doesn't like human interaction, can sense game cameras and stays away. Then the next thing you hear is that bigfoot is very curious. Thats why he comes into people's camps, and peeps in their windows. So which is it. are they wary, elusive, hyper intelligent creatures, or are they super curious and peeping toms?

Oh. I see now. The bigfoot lives in the woods, yet knows all... Does he peruse through the dump or somewhere to read and learn about game cams and other man made devices, or, like a deer, gets used to them after a while. and If he knows about game cams, and is so intelligent, why doesn't he either take them down or throw rocks at them to destroy them?
I will admit to never seeing one, nor anything remotely resembling one, or remains of a decedent one, nor their "campsites" or home areas, but there's not too many animals in the region where I live that I haven't seen, with the exception of a panther, and my fiancée has seen one of those crossing the road near where I live. I did see a picture of a panther that was taken with a game cam by a deer feeder about twenty miles south of here.
I will not discount the existence  of Bigfoot, but some hard evidence would be nice, rather than speculation or wishing...

Tal's supposition of Bigfoot evolving from feral autistic children is much more plausible that the belief of an interdimensional being.

The only real way to know for certain is see one or two for yourself. Just takes a bit of work and patience. Don't know where in AL you live, but it doesn't matter. You CAN"T be much more than an hour's drive from a good Bigfoot hot spot, and probably a lot shorter drive than that. When you get the urge and time to find out the truth for yourself, just let me know. Furnish me the county and the quardant you live in and give you the nearest KNOWN location of some Boogers.  :)
 
Florida panthers are scattered across south AL, and I know there are a few up in the NW part of the state. Big (in this case, medium) cat track and sign aren't hard to find. Make it a double-barrel effort, look for evidece of both animals that are enigmatic to you.

Why? They are not evidence or proof. I know that and the folks whose game cams captured the images know that. They knew what was peeking around the trees or through the brush. They simply sent them to me to look at; not to publish.

Of course they are evidence.  It's silly to say they aren't.  Unless, of course, they simply do not exist.

Have been hunting and in the woods for most of my 60 years now. As far as panthers in Alabama, I've seen them back in the 70's when I lived in southwest Alabama. More recently my friend and his son saw one near Montgomery, Al. But a 7-8 foot tall, 400-500 pound, big hairy ape man of which there is no hard evidence even in this day of modern technology...................nope, nada, zilch, zero, doodley squat. Without saying it, kinda shows what I think about their existence.  ::) ::) ::)

Ok, lets lay out what we know about bigfoot. Since I have been corrected and now know they do exist because other people said so. 1. They have big feet, pretty self explanatory 2. They are extremely elusive, more so than any other creature on earth. So are whitetail deer, so elusive in fact that they run headlong into oncoming traffic on a fairly regular basis. 3. They have hyper senses which can detect game cameras, of course who doesn't 4. They are hyper intelligent, most likely the smartest creature in the woods, well besides swampman 5. They are so intelligent that their form of communication is screaming like a banshee at each other and banging the hell out of trees with a stick 6. They can whistle, not impressive in my opinion, now let one whistle dixie and I will be super impressed 7. They throw rocks at people to get them out of their territory, really? an 8ft tall monkey is pissed and all it can do is throw a pebble? My 5 year old is more intimidating than that 8. They live in every state in the nation and on every continent which would put their numbers in the thousands, yes you would think that would make them easy to find, but see number 2. 9 They have been spotted raiding garbage dumpsters, come on who doesn't like a little dumpster diving now and then, besides maybe its looking for cans to recycle, bigfoot is very green oriented 10. They like to look into peoples windows, yes bigfoots are peeping toms, or peeping foots cause I don't know if they have names like us. I have seen the witnesses that say bigfoot was looking in their window, and lets just say bigfoot doesn't have good taste.
 
Now, those are the top ten things we know are fact about bigfoot. Do not question them because I will just make up something else to prove they exist. No, I don't have any evidence, but that doesn't matter so na nanny boo boo.

Ok ok ok I have to admit it they do exist..........I have seen several or the same one several times,he has an agent and he makes beef jerky commercials.......I love the one where he throws the guy on top of the porta potty with the girl in it. Now mike, dispute that bigfeet sighting.
