Is that in that backyard of yours?

I love most of the absurd show like Ghost Adventures, but the 'squatchers are just to insane to follow. Though I do like Bobo Fay. I'd drink some beers with that guy.

^Napier's book is ancient history by now. It's 45 years old! Napier was quite receptive to the existence of such creatures. However, despite a hundred million more people in the USA, many of whom take to the woods frequently, great technological advances in night vision and trail cameras, numerous Bigfoot clubs and myriad freelance "squatchers," nothing really tangible has ever turned up. I was a believer when I read "Bigfoot." I even bought a .338 Magnum rifle in hopes of bagging one for science, but I ceased to be a believer many years ago. We had an epic thread on this topic on SF a few years back.

^I don't think that's an irrational or inconsistent position. Many years ago an anthropology professor who had had a considerable involvement in these matters told me he thought that the Yeti or other Asian hominid creatures were much more likely to be real than Bigfoot, of which he was quite dismissive. Interestingly, that was the reverse of Napier's position. However, the Himalayas have seen a great influx of tourism since then, and nothing really new has turned up about the Yeti. A recent DNA sequencing (I think that's the right word) of purported Yeti hairs all turned out to be from the two sub-species of brown bears in that region. Evidently the Dalai Lama, who ought to be in a good position to know, seems to be of the opinion the Yeti are nothing more than brown bears.
