Is the family group in this area considered to be more aggressive than most... after reading about the siege and then the revelation that this was thrown at a chair...

Yankee, the siege was a result of easy food supply being made readily available by the family hunting deer close to the cabin, I don't think it was because they were being aggressive in the sense of anger or intent. If that makes sense. The rock throwing incident was more than likely an attempt to see how we would react, Driveroperator puts it into good perspective by saying maybe they just want to see us dumb humans go running over and looking at the ground for a rock, see how we react to the rock throwing.

This is also the area where Bushman's radio and Squatchfinder's picture was returned in 2009. Maybe they were trying to make up to the guys.

That makes perfect sense, DW, thank you.

I remember it left a small ding in Squatchfinder's chair. My chair was next to his and it landed between our chairs basically beside my right foot. I picked it up, the ground is very smooth around the campfire area and tent area's so this was the only rock right where it hit the chair and then the ground.
I still have the rock and occasionally look at it and think that a bigfoot had this rock in the palm of it's hand. A rare find indeed, most rocks are lost on the ground among other rocks, finding this one was great.
My theory on why they throw rocks are based on a couple things, first, they hardly ever throw big rocks that could damage or hurt our tents or vehicles even though they are certainly capable. So it must not be thrown out of anger or aggression. They also rarely hit anyone...they absolutely should be able to hit us if they want to, but they don't seem to hardly ever make contact...so it is not an aggressive thing to them.
So that leaves me with what I think from what we KNOW about their behavior, They work very hard to move up as stealthy and safely as possible for them to view us, sometimes even belly crawling into positions behind scrub, brush, etc. I know this behavior is used because I heard it in the park before I saw the two at the Chickasaw park, a couple steps then stop.......a couple steps closer then stop...slowly working forward.
Lets say a bigfoot has stealthy worked himself in a belly crawl to a position about 30 or 40 yards from your campsite, it was the only route he found safe enough to get into without being seen, While laying there watching us and being happy to watch us, he see's that we are not positioned in a good enough spot for him to view us. He doesn't want to give up his spot, can't really move without being seen or heard but he is desperate to see us better....so he grabs a small rock off the ground, he is an expert rock thrower, but in the lying position his aim isn't that great so he flings the rock off to the side of the campfire and as he has learned from trial and error we all jump up and run over to examine the rock and wonder where it came from and are amazed that it happened, while we are doing our thing around where the rock landed...the bigfoot is happy because he can now see us all better and that is all he wanted to begin with.
This is all just my opinion, But it makes sense sometimes. It may be the same thing for a tent when we are inside, a big rock could collapse the tent and that is not their intent....and I don't think it is to see our reaction...they KNOW our reactions to rock throwing, I think they want you to get out of the tent or car so they can see you.

Right on, DO. We should always remember that they think a great deal like we do. Often we provide an evening's entertainment for them. We're right out there amongst them, we're lit up well by our fires and we react in predictable ways to their teasing. And stealth is a prime characteristic of the Sasquatch. They use it in hunting where it's most important, and they use it for amusement. They're very curious about us, but they know our potential for harm, at least most of the adults seem to.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to be a fly on a tree to watch and listen as the adults teach the juveniles about their environment, how to hunt and gather and about people and how they must be very careful around us. I get somewhat annoyed at folks who insist that Sasquatch are just animals and that they can't have a language. I don't think they could be nearly as successful in their life in the wild without verbal communication, and I believe it must be fairly sophisticated language where they even include some words they learn from us. They might have trouble parsing our string of babble into words with distinct meaning, but as we yell single words or short phrases that bring about a particular reaction from others, then they have a new word or phrase that can have a meaning for them as well. Oops! I'm rambling again.
