Listen to MN.B.R.T. Radio with Wildlife Biologist And Bigfoot Researcher Dr.John Bindernagel at 6PM PST Tonight
Join Elusive1 on BlogTalkRadio tonight at 6PM PST as he welcomes back Doctor John Bindernagel:
John is a professional wildlife biologist who is seriously studying the sasquatch or bigfoot in North America. His interest in this animal began in 1963 when, as a third-year-student in wildlife management at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, He was laughed at for raising the report of an animal described as an "ape-man" for possible discussion. His field work began in 1975 when His family moved to British Columbia, partly in order for him to begin field work on this species.
In 1988, his wife and himself found several sasquatch tracks in good condition in the mountains not far from our home on Vancouver Island. Plaster casts which we made from these tracks provided the first physical evidence for the existence of the sasquatch. Wildlife biologists such as hisself regularly depend on tracks and other wildlife sign as evidence for the presence of bears, deer, wolves, and other mammals, recognizing that tracks constitute a more reliable and persistent record of the presence of a mammal species in an area than a fleeting glimpse of the animal itself.
He's satisfied that the sasquatch is an extant (or "real") animal, subject to study and examination like any other large mammal, and am much more concerned with addressing ecological questions such as how it overwinters in the colder regions of North America, than with dwelling on the controversy of whether it does or does not exist. He remain aware, however, that many people—including scientific colleagues—remain unaware of the information that exists about this species.
There isn't a true scientist on the planet who believes in Bigfoot, not a single one.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there are scientists who not only believe in, but have actually seen, Bigfoot.
DeleteI'm surprised to hear such a narrow point of view coming from you, Dr. Ranes.
I totally agree Sue.
Delete@Dr. Ranes, isn't the point of science to remain objective, open to all possibilities. To deal in absolutes seems unscientific almost by definition itself.
John
So you, Dr Ranes, are in constant contact with every single scientist on the planet at all times? From every country, every nationality and every language? And you constantly discuss whether or not any of you believe in bigfoot? Otherwise, how could you possibly make such an outlandish statement?
DeleteI noticed you have ZERO followers on your blog. I wonder why :)
Wow, that's pretty harsh. I love it!
Deletewhat is a true scientist? A person who adds Dr. to their blogger name?
DeleteI stand by my statement.
DeleteThe criteria being that if a scientist does admit the possibility of bigfoot, they are not a true scientist
ReplyDeleteScience will never believe until the body of a dead bf is on the slab.
ReplyDeleteThe Earth was also flat at one time. So said science of the day.

Nice one Chuck!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else think we should send the police to Autumnforest's house? Her silence has me slightly concerned
ReplyDeleteGot to listen to the entire show in my office this morning. It was truly great. Bindernagle has such a wholesome and non assuming presence about him. He is very comfortable if it is more human than ape. Frustrated that his colleagues will not even look at the papers and research he sends them. He is many years beyond do they exist and into the whole culture and ecology of the Bigfoot, but can not make the inroads that should have already been breached, as his peers simply will not see. Same old story here.
ReplyDeleteThere were some really good questions from the audience. He mentioned he has been invited to a conference in Ohio in May, but I could not understand the town it is in. If anybody knows please let me know. I don't think it is in Salt Fork Lake.

Is there anywhere I can get a link.to this interview?
ReplyDelete^Use Shawn's link at the end of the post^
ReplyDeletenever trust a doctor or scientist with a closed mind,

I love this guy. He is by far one of my favorite researchers out there. He is very well spoken on the subject, and is genuine belief in the species really helps me with my believing! Keep doing what you are doing John, looking forward to your next book!
