I've only just remembered this - and I hope someone else out there does as well - around Xmas '92, there was a chap who appeared on Montel Williams: I can't for the life of me remember his name, but he looked a lot like Gordon Liddy. Anyway, he was a Bigfoot authority, and stated categorically that not only did they exist, but proof was in the possession of various academics, including DNA evidence, spoors (which to put it politely were too big to come from a human gut), etc. He further stated that a significant number of naturalists were well aware of them and their habitat
That's him! Thank you - I may have conflated some of this with other programmes I saw at around the same time: it was a) thirty years ago and b) a distinctly merry Xmas time...Bigfoot researcher Robert Morgan appeared on Montel's show in April 1992, and his shaved head and mustache are consistent with a Liddy look. In that appearance Morgan declared Bigfoot definitely exists, but I couldn't correlate anything he said with the "proof" comments you cited.
Ah yes one of my all-time favourite episodes, LordmongroveAggressive bigoot encounter. English woman sees family of creatures and sees aggressive display.

'Bigfoot photo' of 1894.
It looks like a quadruped to me. The lack of broad shoulders seems to be due to it having downwards facing scapula. On the head i can see what looks like floppy ears and a snout with a nose and nostrils visible. It looks like a rangy, long legged, shaggy haired dog.
Thanks for the Seton link, MO. I had not known of him before. The photo looks like a dog to me, not a wolf. Floppy ears and really long shaggy fur.l’d guess that it’s a shot wolf.
I typed “shot wolf 1894” into Duckduckgo: lt revealed what might have prompted this photo (assuming the date and subject are as described):
ln 1893, Ernest Thompson Seton was sent to New Mexico to kill wolves. He was also a writer and illustrator. He encountered two trapped wolves, the sight of which changed his opinion of the animals. He wrote “The King of Currumpaw, A Wolf Story”, which was published in - drum roll - 1894.

He also produced this painting:
Bottom line: Wolves were sexy in 1894’s North America.

So is Expedition Bigfoot worth watching or is it just her running around in some woods at night getting terrified every time an owl farts...?The Expedition Bigfoot team at WonderCon 2022
I'm a bit disappointed with it. They seem to have had interesting results with the high-tech stuff they've been using - directional microphones, drones etc but only seem to use each device in one episode.So is Expedition Bigfoot worth watching or is it just her running around in some woods at night getting terrified every time an owl farts...?
It’s odd that they search at night given that more than 50% of Bigfoot reports I have read are daylight sightings (perhaps even 90%).%. But then they seem to be chasing ratings first and Bigfoot second….I'm a bit disappointed with it.

Most of it seems to be the team wandering around in the dark whispering "What's that? Did you hear that? It's over there! Something's moving over there! Oh, it's gone."
I'd just cover a car with cameras pointing in every direction and drive up and down rural roads where there have been sightings. Bigfoot seems to have a habit of playing chicken with oncoming vehicles.It’s odd that they search at night given that more than 50% of Bigfoot reports I have read are daylight sightings (perhaps even 90%).%.

It's almost as if they don't want to be able to tell the difference between a Bigfoot and a man in a ghillie suit.It’s odd that they search at night given that more than 50% of Bigfoot reports I have read are daylight sightings (perhaps even 90%).%.

Maybe if we very nearly almost find it we'll get another series.It's almost as if they don't want to be able to tell the difference between a Bigfoot and a man in a ghillie suit.
So...It's almost as if they don't want to be able to tell the difference between a Bigfoot and a man in a ghillie suit.
Would it depend on a shoe size?So...
