Bigfoots. They were here first.
Human immigrants first encountered North American bigfoots over 12,000 years ago.
Through most of the ensuing 12 millennia, humans considered bigfoots to be a normal component of the land’s fauna. That changed about five hundred years ago. Recent human immigrants have refused to recognize the existence of bigfoots. This in spite of continuing encounters with these animals.
Humans who today encounter bigfoots are disbelieved, ridiculed, and shamed by relatives, friends, and colleagues. Persons working in certain sensitive occupations may receive innuendos and warnings regarding job security. There are many people keeping life long secrets of their encounters with bigfoots. Some of these people eventually report their sightings to online Bigfoot Research groups.
Bigfoot Research groups often interview witnesses to glean details of bigfoot behavior and ecology. Resulting encounter reports are posted on website databases for others to study. Every reported bigfoot encounter provides either a bit of new information about bigfoot behaviors and ecology or reconfirms previously recognized information. Bigfoot research organizations also post informational and conjectural statements about the biology of bigfoots. If you have encountered or seen any bigfoots, please share your experience with the bigfoot websites listed on the Bigfoot Research Links page. Please encourage others to do the same.
Reports collected to bigfoot website online databases demonstrate that human-bigfoot encounters often occur in many widely separated parts of North America within a particular month. This indicates there are many bigfoot populations scattered throughout the continent. There are many areas throughout North America that have appropriate habitat and food supplies. Some encounters may occur within a particular bigfoot family group’s home range. Other encounters may occur while the animals are hunting and foraging into outlying areas closer to human habitations.
Our current computerized, televised lifestyle restricts most human activity to home, work, shopping, visiting, and commuting. Nowadays, human encounters with bigfoots are quite often sightings by motorists , stranded motorists, and truck drivers. However, many rural and wildland sightings are still reported each year by hunters, fishermen, trappers, loggers, farmers, ranchers, ranch hands, realtors, sheepherders, hikers, birdwatchers, bicycle riders, horse riders, mule packers, mushroom pickers, kayakers, canoeists, river guides, dirt bikers, snowmobilers, paintballers, sunbathers, meteor watchers, ATVer's, helicopter pilots, couriers, cave explorers, land surveyors, war reenactors, rock hunters, homesteaders, arrowhead collectors, snake collectors, tour bus occupants, herpatolgists, UPS drivers, nurses, university professors, timber equipment watchman, utility lineman, homesteaders,
tour train occupants, wildlife naturalists, field archeologists, ginseng diggers, metal detectors, pine nut pickers, lawnmowers, firewood gatherers, newspaper carriers, downed pilots, crop pickers, panther hunters, pizza deliverers, frog giggers, pipeline inspectors, railroad inspectors, agate collectors, elk biologists, bat researchers,
siesmic drilling rig operators, and other outdoor workers and recreationists.
Humans from all walks of life have encountered bigfoots, including police officers, Border Patrol Agents, park rangers, military personnel during training, Forest Service Law Officers, Forest Service Patrol Officer,
security guards, Forest Service smoke jumpers, Recreation Area Supervisors, Boy Scouts, Game Wardens,
animal control officers, United States Geological Survey employees, Airmen, US Postal carriers,
as well as ministers and moonshiners.
There have been reports of humans shooting bigfoots and occasionally killing one. In almost all shooting encounters, the wounded bigfoot is not trailed and collected. This typical neglect is most often blamed on either a fear of the wounded animal or a fear of legal punishment. There exist many sighting reports by hunters who considered shooting a bigfoot, but refrained because the bigfoot "looked too human". Bigfoots have not yet been officially declared an extant and protected species. It should be noted that in many North American jurisdictions, an species is considered protected unless otherwise stated.
Private and non-profit bigfoot research organizations are increasingly attracting the participation and advisement of scientists, educators, and professionally trained investigators. It is hoped that this increased collaboration will soon lead the global scientific community and North America’s governments to officially declare bigfoots to be a recognized and protected species. It is hoped that Universities and other official scientific organizations will soon initiate biological field research projects.
You can actively participate in bigfoot research in the following ways:
1) Read the thousands of reports of bigfoot sightings posted on bigfoot websites with the goal of learning about bigfoots’ behavior and ecology.
2) Seek out persons who have seen one or more bigfoots and encourage them to report their encounters to major bigfoot websites.
3) Spend long hours sitting quietly motionless in places likely to be utilized by bigfoots as they forage and hunt for food. Spend more time engaged in traditional outdoor activities. Take naps in wild places and see what you might wake up to.
4) Encourage all levels of government officials and members of academia to instigate inquiries and to design and fund basic bigfoot biology field research.
It is very important that you prepare yourself for that unexpected moment when you too will experience the fact that bigfoots really are out there on the periphery of human territory. By educating yourself about bigfoots, you will feel less surprise, less fear, and more awe, more appreciation when you finally do encounter one. Eventually, you will know from personal experience, there really are two of us.
If you see one or more bigfoots anywhere in North America, please report them to local, state, regional, and national bigfoot research groups. Many of these websites are listed on the Bigfoot Research Websites page of this website. Also please report your bigfoot sightings to your state’s Wildlife Conservation Department. The information provided by your report will assist your state’s bigfoot population management research. You can find a list of state government Wildlife Conservation Departments on the Bigfoots and Government page of this website.
Also please report your bigfoot sightings to the Anthropology or Primatology Departments of nearby colleges and universities. The information provided by your report will assist their studies of bigfoot biology, ecology, and behavior. Click here to view a list of university and college Anthropology Departments.
If you obtain clear and obvious photos or videos of bigfoots, please also submit them to a primatologist, anthropologist, biologist, or instructor at the nearest university, college, or high school.
If you find apparent bigfoot bones, skulls, hair, or body parts, please deliver them to a primatologist, anthropologist, biologist, or instructor at the nearest university, college, or high school.
You might also send your report to your local newspaper's Letter to the Editor column with encouragement to others to report their own sightings. There are many people with bigfoot secrets they would like to tell.
1) NOTE DATED 2009-03-07:
A very informative website called the International Bigfoot Society has been taken offline. The International Bigfoot Society has been a source of many of the bigfoot sighting reports linked to from several pages of the 'Lawnflowers Jerky and Bigfoots' website. These links to International Bigfoot Society pages now yield a "Page Cannot Be Found" message with the URL address indicating the International Bigfoot Society. will leave in place all links to International Bigfoot Society from 'Lawnflowers Jerky and Bigfoots' in hopes that the International Bigfoot Society will be brought back online again. The International Bigfoot Society website was taken down once before and brought back up. Ray Crowe and his team at International Bigfoot Society contributed extensively to the study of bigfoots. Thank-you!

2) NOTE DATED 2009-03-30
The website called Skunk Ape, Florida's Bigfoot is also down. I will leave links to it standing in the hope that it will be resurrected into a new and improved incarnation.
3) NOTE UNDATED: Some of this web page's bigfoot sighting report titles link to reports formally posted to the Texas Bigfoot Research Center. The "Center" has evolved into the Texas Bigfoot Research Conservacy. The "Center's" sighting report database was migrated to the "Conservancy's" database and the reports were given new URL's. I have converted many of this web page's links from the "Center's" old URL's to the "Conservancy's" new URL's. This processs is ongoing.
