DBWI bigfoot not shot

[birdy]

what if a bigfoot was'nt shot by Richard Sites near Wantage NJ in 1977, do you think another one would have simply turned up later or not, maybe cryptozoology is'nt given legitimacy.

Yeah another one would just be shot within a decade or so.
It was inevitable, the amount of hunters was just going up and up as was the proximity of the remotest areas to human habitation.

Yetis. Similarly increase how long it takes to get them as how long to get bigfoot. They were really only found because of the huge funding research teams got to go into the himalayas and find them after bigfoot was revealed to be real.

Also though consider the amount of archaeological discoveries made of the species over the past decade or so all around the world...They couldn't be set asiide as just strange humans forever.

Don't forget the reminate populations in the Cotswolds and on Dartmoor in Britian.

i'm sure i've seen your name before on this forum but according to your post count your new so, DB= Double Blind, something that has'nt happened in OTL being discussed as though OTL is ATL. in this case in ATL a Bigfoot was shot by a New Jersy farmer in 1977 and we are discussing from the Point of View of that ATL.

hope i did'nt just sound like an idiot or anything:o

yeah' that was a.... surprise to say the least:eek: , there's also the ones in scotland and Wales, also other parts of europe like some parts of Spain, the Alps and Scandinavia- once the bigfoot was discovery was made, those medieval wild man myths got a lot of attention, I think we're lucky to have preserved some habitat for them.

The russian Alma's are still in danger though:mad:

I dunno...it seems kind of hard to imagine how things would be different if Bigfoot hadn't been shot. We wouldn't have the Pine Barrens National Wildlife Preserve in south NJ, for one. Nor would Bigfoot be named New Jersey's state animal in 1984.

I'm sure Bigfoot would have been found sooner or later if they hadn't shot the one in 1977. I mean, it's a miracle it hadn't been discovered before that considering how close to civilization they were living.

This seems to happen a lot. Of course he was shot! Really, whatever happened to our public education?:mad:

Living close is right. There is evidence that a population was living within the city limits of New York City, in the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, up until the 1940's. There are also rumors of a tribe of them living under NYC, and also a tribe in the more abandoned areas of the city. Let us not forget that they also lived in the cayons near LA.

cryptozoology would most likely be made legit, there are still other many things unknown to be discoverd, though what else could count?

Well the photographs of 'Caddy' in 1990 were a huge boost to Cryptozology.
Just a shame it's been so hard to get other evidence of it since.

the fact that bigfoot was found so close to urban areas has meant that governments in the UK were less secretive about the escaped big cats- finally admitting that We now have a big cat population here.

with all the research, there is now 'sort of proof' that other bigfoot like creatures exist in the world, in south east asia being maybe the best known example.

They say that the locals were actually aware of the British bigfeet- I mean logically there is just no way they can survive without having run ins with people.
They say they helped keep pest populations down and were well behaved so were generally tolerated.

Considering that it was found out that the Sasquatch have human level intelligence, they just can't speak our language.

That was commen in several places- to local people the russian and central asian Alma's were part of the landscape- nothing to fear.

maybe in TTL environmentalism is reduced, i mean the knowledge that were intelligent forms really gave enviromentalism a boost.
