Deer Runner I deleted your post cause the poster asks for opinions and can only get them by asking others. As you can see by the post the person says they have done some research on their own. No offense to you but we are here to help out "newbies" also.
To answer some of the questions.
No I have not seen Bigfoot.
Look into Indian legends and stories from the first settlers of this country for the beginings of the Wildman legends. Personally they are not legends to me cause the bigfoot are real! Check out Leif Ericson when he journeyed down the St. Lawrence and into the Great Lakes he describes Wildmen throwing rocks and sticks at his ship.
As for what BF is, well I belive its a branch of hominid that has remained in hiding all these years. I believe they have evolved hightened senses and have adapted to our forests like no other creature in the woods. I give them alot more intelligence than some others may. I don't think they are a stupid animal, theres alot more to them and I believe alot of researchers share this point of view but may not state what they know publicly for fear of ridicule. Hope this helps .
