They evidently did as far back as 500-1000 years ago.

The oldest evidence that I know of is the "hairy man" pictographs found in central California

If the Idaho State University's journal is a fake, then I would like to see evidence of it.
Also, even the most popular journals are known to make mistakes sometimes and retract their work. Publishing something in a journal isn't some sort of authentication of anything. All it does is make sure you followed proper methodology. |

The Native Americans were different than we are. They didn't make up mythical creatures. They were honest and hard working hunter gatherers who lived hand-to-mouth and had no time for fantasy. Anybody who made up a story about seeing a hairy wildman was immediately ostracized for not pulling their own weight in the struggle for survival. Only genuine observations were allowed to exist.
A pictograph of a fantasy would have been erased and we would not find it in a cave or on some rock face. In order to understand Indians you have to understand that they had no imagination. They only had real animals around them and enduring pigments to mark their world. |

I think you're wrong, especially since there is no way of knowing how many footie reports are actually reports at all. It could be that most of them are fabricated by the "reporting" groups. Which is why they suck as evidence.
At any rate, I'm sure that back in the day (and perhaps even today) **** loads of folks reported seeing werewolves in Eastern Europe. Elvis is probably "reported" daily as well. Additionally, many traditional Hawaiians have stories about Pele and Menehune. Every culture has campfire stories; what is obvious is you haven't looked into these myths whatsoever. |

Look at us in the PGF thread. We aren't discussing the PGF.

One of many interpretations.
Walrus with a moustache, a giant otter, a bear with a sinus infection, a sasquatch with two monocles, a hairy ghost with the bleeding eyes? It seems quite open to speculation and interpretation, and has not conclusively been shown to be a representation of a bigfoot. OS, you and Kathy Moskowitz Strain may conclude that the Hairy Man Pictograph = Bigfoot, where is the evidence that the majority of archaeologists have also reached that conclusion? ![]() RayG |

What geographical/seasonal patterns? Do you believe they migrate? If so, where are the migration routes? Where is the hair, scat, and other physical evidence that should be evident?
