Swiftmud-The Final Cut: Large Primate Sighting..High Rez image..Poor Video

[BFResearchSE]

Tim, you did a nice job on documentation and I would say that pic is very impressive. Really good job man.

[justagrrlinny]

Tim, I'm so impressed with this video and your descriptions and explanations. Just a fantastic job all the way around.

Tampa Tim

For the sake of skeptics please go back to the same spot and show them there is no stump there.. OK

Thanks Bud

[allenst]

you will return to exact spot to see if 'figure' is there or not--correct ?

[fasanotampa]

I hope with a HD video or I will use my Nikon DSLR to take super quality images.

[allenst]

when looking at picture my eyes looked above the actual creature and too close. the creature is a little farther than eyes think and the dark patch above it is not it. when Tim says, "it's in a Patty position--that is exactly the position it is in". it's looking back over right shoulder--slight arm swing and appears right leg/knee raised and extended in stride. I told Tim it would help is he outlined what we all should look at it highlighted pen or something

[fasanotampa]

My video is not so good.  That is why I may not even do much of that and use the DSLR more. At least that can make a clear image. You might have a point. I am not so sure just what the hell I am seeing on the video...HD...HD..HD...I need some more money! Hope and Change baby!

[FlammePendragon]

That picture was impressive.. I'd have to say that was a skunk ape no doubt about it . Plus you got the video to back it up too. Awesome Job Tim

[fasanotampa]

The only thing that was impressive were the stills...I need HD

[joebblack1963]

I just bought a HD cam off E-Bay for $75.00 it is a Polaroid DVC-00725F HD Digital Video camera - NIB, I know its not "high end" but it takes better video than my $600.00 Sony Handy Cam I purchased a couple years ago...

Hey Tim, is the creature facing the left or the right? im having difficulty making that distinction.

[fasanotampa]

To the right...

[LongFoot100]

Tim...Great job...Wise to get out of there when you did...Being that far in and alone is not a risk anyone should take by trying to track a BF on their own. Even if they seem dosile, I've herad they can be aggressive when they feel threaten. Still a Great Still Shot....Be safe and keep up the fasinating sideline work...

[fasanotampa]

I do have a "surprise"

[hoodoowoman]

halito Tim. It looks like you caught a photo of a Wo'okie or skunk ape. He is using the mossy algae for camo, they actually can grow the stuff in their fur. And for the record, I think you reacted exactly like you're supposed to ...which is however you damn well want to.

[fasanotampa]

NO one knows how they will react until they have the experience...thanks for your support and advice..

[allenst]

you think primate ? ok, well you were there but doesn't it look more man/primate ?

[fasanotampa]

We are all primates...

[tccarhauler1]

great find tim keep up the great work

[fasanotampa]

Thanks for the good words

[chimataw]

great this one looks just like the one in the famous skunk ape video see it too it is the same maybe.

[jaxonsgsx]

Holy shit Tim! Great job, you were so close to it! thats amazing, you are the man, keep it up bud!

[ibfrdb]

Excellent! Ex-a-llent!

well your theories seem to be correct! There Are different species.. bigfoot / skunkape

the one big difference is the neck bigfoot having almost no neck. While 'he' was was walking did you notice anything odd about his gate? (walking with knees slightly bent?)

Did you notice him first or did he see you first? (Did you see him walking first before he stopped?) Man I have so many questions. Could you make out any detail of the face? Was it hairy like in Patterson/Gimlin

[ibfrdb]

Did he have a cone shape head? I have a theory, about defense response, 2 responses in fish are flight or fight. Usually they'll flight.. but what happened to me one day there was a deer in my backyard when I went out the door. I immeadiately saw it out of the corner of my eye, I froze until I could process what I was seeing in my mind, and kept that pose, for about a minute and a half even knowing what it was that I was looking at. As to not spook it, for it to make a decision of fight/flight.

[ibfrdb]

So it also froze. Then after a while of us recognizing each other I went about my business and it (the deer) went about it's... he was only about 10 feet away the whole time.

So this added element, flight / fight / freeze..

The freeze comes into play when you at first can't process right away what the threat is, and it buys you some time to make a decision.

In the end we posed no threat to each other. And went on our merry way.
