youtube bigfoot, the best evidence of mis - identification.

The only mystery here for me, is how does two different men claiming over 40 years of hunting experience, miss ID a PORCUPINE? I would be okay with the miss ID, but with that experience claim, I must say they are kidding. Porcupine NOT Bigfoot

Only accept the real thing:

If a real life Bigfoot is ever discovered, mark my words....I will drink my own urine for a week!!

Jk..Jk....some kid on Reddit said that about the new Avengers trailer coming and not but a few hours later did the trailer come out. All of Reddit held him to his promise. ATS would hunt me down and perform a scientific study on it and make a 200 page thread about it with visual documentation to demonstrate proof of it occurring.

I remember hunting in the plains of Wyoming one year. We saw what we thought was a brown bear because of it's shape and size relative to where we were. Turned out, it was just a massive porcupine. Eyes can deceive the brain and the brain can deceive the eyes. But, I stand my ground....if there was a Bigfoot, we would have them in a zoo by now.

Lol Nice one. I understand he is a comedian so, he gets a pass in my book. This OP was originally posted for the reasons of how a mis-identification occurs for most things mysterious.

That's a reasonable assumption. But it might not be true. There are a number of very plausible scenarios as to why we wouldn't.

Porcupines reach 36 inches in length. For this to be a porcupine, the game camera would have to be placed approximately 18 inches off the ground.

I don't know many hunters placing game cameras 18 inches off the ground.

Plus, the blur was caused by the motion of the creature passing by quite quickly.

Porcupines can stand up, but I am fairly certain they don't run on two legs.

Another thing, there are no porcupines in North Carolina.

With those DNA samples, the best outcome would be "unknown" since there isn't anything to compare it to for identification. It literally could be the DNA from any number of yet to be discovered animals ranging in size from a mouse to a, well, Sasquatch.

Sure there should be some markers to help narrow it down from my hyperbolic example, but on its own, it's just unknown DNA.

I don't discount anyone's personal experiences, especially since I was forced to become a believer in ghosts a couple years ago, but the DNA evidence for Sasquatch isn't that great in my opinion.
