This is all very simple to explain. Bigfoot in Kentucky is simply looking for some healthy choices after hitting the pancakes (http://www.cryptomundo.com/bigfoot-report/lawsuit1/) too hard. Good news for Bigfoot; Aunt Jemima (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUw-EpBv__o), not so much.

You have to ask yourself the question- where are the tracks?

If deer left them and thats obviously cultivated- theres no excuse for BF not to leave them

I wonder if this is the same SFODD Bigfoot thats involved with the project Bindernagle was involved with.

[Wolfman]

I like the commentary from the reporter, trying her best to hype it up.

"But what else could it be? Some have guessed a bear, or an ape. But have you ever heard of either in Jefferson county?"

Personally, I'd bet that there have been far more reported sightings of bears and apes (wildlife, circuses, carnivals, zoos, etc.) than there have been of Bigfoot.

Black bird in flight.

From the same cam.

[iMaGiNaTioN]

obviously a black bird

[WGBH]

I agree. It's a crow or Blackbird. It's also closer to the cam then it appears.

[bryan]

This is the proof that we have been looking for.
Apparently there is an animal that is naturally out of focus, which would explain all of the "Bigfoot" images.

[Eyeron]

Actually it was a suicidal teddy bear looking for skin mags and beer.

[LTC8K6]

It does look a lot like a large-ish black bird taking off.

[iMaGiNaTioN]

it has to be a bird that's closer than it appears. something that far away (as it looks to be) would never set off that camera.

I live in Jefferson County, and I have to say, if Bigfoot were going to find a happy home here, Fairdale would be a good choice. If he could sit in a driveway in a lawn chair with a beer can on his stomach, no one would give him a second glance.

Nailed it. I couldn't figure out what the blob was, but something looked wrong with the depth of field. Looking again it is clearly a black bird taking off in the foreground. Well done.

Jefferson County, KY (includes Louisville) has a couple "official" Bigfoot encounter reports. The surrounding region has more. These reports have been formally submitted to the BFRO and other organized Bigfooter groups. I outlined the county in yellow, and highlighted the encounter locations with red arrows. The Bigfoot believers often say that many encounters are not formally reported, and so they would not be on this map. Sometimes people will talk (and post) about their encounter, but not take the steps to submit it to a database group. They say others simply won't talk about their encounters in any public fashion. If you poke around the various Bigfoot forums, you can see postings by folks who claim encounters but have not produced a formal submitted report. So, this map represents the minimum number of claimed "Bigfoot encounters". It's reasonable to think that there are more encounter claims than you see here on this map.

I think Odinn is correct about the flying bird. I also don't want to spoil the fun of this thread, but wanted to show that there are indeed a number of Bigfoot claims in your area. I think it's truly absurd for people to believe that Bigfoot could exist in America, and still not be confirmed as genuine after hundreds of years.

I think the photo proves that bigfoot thinks he can fly.

[doctoratlantis]

I saw the story and wrote it up for "The Examiner" and had the same conclusion. It certainly has all the makings of a bird.

I did throw together this crude picture to support the conclusion:

Of course it could also be flying away from the camera but the wing tips look pretty convincing to me.

[CynicalSkeptic]

Some folks call it a Bigfoot, I call it Skunk Ape... mmmm hmmmm..

It looks like a dark figure...Batman?!!!

Yes, BF does not exist, that's the only logical conclusion. The people who are interested in BF are what I find fascinating. The flakes and crazies are to be expected, but I do not understand the seemingly reasonable, level headed types who hold open the possiblity of BF's existence. Why do these types feel compelled to think BF is a possibility?

As a resident of KY who has hiked, camped, and hunted from one end of the commonwealth to the other I find the idea of a Ky bigfoot laughable.

This is an excellent post. I like it when Bigfoot enthusiasts are shown their quack. They need to get a good look at exactly what they're talking about. Let's look at Bigfoot fans in Kentucky. OK, here we go...

http://www.kentuckybigfoot.com/new.htm (http://www.kentuckybigfoot.com/new.htm)

Hey, that site is really neato. You can move your cursor around and there's little Bigfoots feet trailing around. On that site you will see people such as "Clay" and "Dakota Poff" tell you about encounters with Kentucky Bigfoots and werewolves and some such things. Here's a little snippet of Clay's werewolf encounter (for flavour)...

When I was roughly 13 or so years old I was in the front yard playing with my dogs. They began to growl intensely,then ran off to their kennels. This of course made me wonder what was happening. My mom was setting on the porch, and suddenly I saw her come running out to me where I was standing. I asked what was wrong, she simply stared over the creek to our drive way. What I saw, to this very day I cant fully accept it to be real.
There walking down the hils and into our driveway heading toward the creek.. was the LARGEST dog I had ever seen before. So I had thought.

What happened next was the part I still cant rationalize. The "dog" had a very smokey gray color to it, with longer than ever where else patches of blackish hair on the knees on the front legs and by the ears. This of course was odd in itself.

Then It happend! It STOOD UP! Going from all 4's to 2 legs! It litteraly procedded to walk down the sloped hillside to the creek's edge. WHILE using the front "arms. legs whatever" to hold its self by the trees it passed. Just as a man would to maintain his balance. It leaned over and drank from the water as animal would, but then wiped its mouthh with its arm, like a person would.

I dont think "it" had seen us at this point until out of sheer shock I said rather louldy.. WHAT IS THAT THING!? Then it snapped its head toward us.. stood up and looked at us without making a move.


It's great. It's got all the classic elements and reads not unlike a SweatyYeti post with ALL the UNECESSARY and EXTRANEOUS use OF ALL-CAPS.

So having a look at that, I want to try and get in the head space of a person who would be saying "PFFT! Blackbird?? That's clearly no blackbird and obviously a gorilla-type creature. Yes, I think this could very well be Bigfoot." I've got this great tool called "the internet" which will allow me to get a good look at what is being offered as evidence for Bigfoot in Kentucky. Clicking on LTC's link in the OP I see some helpful bits of information, such as "Kenny Mahoney," "Fairdale, Kentucky," and "backyard." I then hit the phone listings for a Kenny Mahoney in Fairdale and I come up with an address. Looks like Kenny lives on Smith Road (http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&source=hp&q=2114%20Smith%20Rd&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl) in Fairdale. So with that address I can then hop over to Google, stick in the address, then click on "map" and hey, pow, I'm looking at Kenny's place. Nice place, Kenny. Somebody's got a pool. Tell your neighbour to water the lawn.

Right, so I'm looking at this and trying to keep that Bigfoot vibe going. I feel sort of with it - there's a patch of woods next to Kenny's place. Bigfoot could be hiding in the patch of woods between South Park Road and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Expressway, right? Bigfoot must just be really elus- Aaaaah, I'm sorry, I just can't keep it going. I'm all covered in stupid now. I am feeling the same notion as WP in thinking about that absurdity. I'm feeling a very acute absurdity when I look at Kenny's backyard and neighbourhood and try and imagine that a species of massive, upright, uncatalogued wood ape is on the loose there. On the loose and right smack-dab in the middle of human society and oops, I'm in your yard and eating your green beans and what are you going to do about it? Send the werewolves?

I think it takes a very special type of failure in logic to think that Bigfoot is there. You can't all be get-this-person-a-bib stupid in believing such nonsense. I mean look at that Kentucky Bigfoot site, it's got little Bigfoots feet that trail around your cursor. I don't think you can be a complete moron and do stuff like that. You have to be fairly savvy and intelligent to put together a nice sight like that. What I find ludicrous and fascinating is that anyone could seriously entertain the idea that Bigfoot is out and about in Jefferson County, KY.

Check the Jefferson County heading from my link for some more Jefferson Bigfoot reports. There's a white Bigfoot in there and even the half-man, half got/sheep Pope Lick Monster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Lick_Monster). Kentucky has some funky stuff.

From personal experience, living in Michigan's Upper Peninsula for 4 years, rooming with a local resident, and going to deer camp on weekends. I can not help but agree with Parcher. It is an impoverished area, the locals literally kill everything that passes by their property. Many do not care about limits, or whether it is a buck or a doe, when they hunt geese in a cornfield, they shoot until they are out of ammo, not until the limit is met. The DNR tries to educate the locals and basically beg them not to shoot the endangered grey wolf. Which still gets shot by them regularly. Many hunt partridge from their cars.

If someone or something were taking deer from their property, the owner would find out who it was, if it was a giant hairy beast with bare feet, the owner would kill the beast. I'd guess he'd do the same to a trespasser, but we'd never know.

I'm guessing the same would be true of areas of Kentucky.

The main point is, if an elusive, critically endangered wolf can still get whacked by the locals, why can't a non-elusive (based on the reports) primate get whacked?

Indeed...

According to Michigan DNR data obtained by the AP, nearly 200 wolf carcasses have been recovered in the Upper Peninsula within the past five years. Of those, 39 were referred to investigators as likely poaching cases.

Bigfoot is bullet resistant, of course.

I shot it 11 times with my .30-06/30-30/.303* and it didn't even notice...

*You see what I did there...
