the search for the bigfoot

[RedDanDoc]

i wish that i lived in canada then i would devote some time to look for this bigfoot though i dont think i would share my findings as that would lead to this magnificent aniamal being poked and proded by scientists! is material greed the main imputus for people to find this creature ?

i think in order to find this elusive animal it would need 50 dedicated people split into 2 teams all equiped with heat vision goggles and infra red too they should spend a long time tracking the location of the latest sighting and hopefully they might yeild some results

50 people? Try to get one to go along is already hard enough. LOL! Seriously, I think that you don't need a 25 people team. May be 2 or 3 max. Why less disturbant and much quieter in the woods. I think that a small team with the equipments that you mentioned above spends some time in the "hot" area and wait. Patient and keep motionless is the key. Kinda like hunting.

yes but sebastian the areas where you would be looking is vast i mean i live in the uk and it is a small country yet canada and usa is vast so i would have thought that maybe 50 people to search 500 sq miles would be few

also there are that many people interested in the big foot that you think that 50 people dedicated enough wouldnt be hard to find !

Well, first of all one would be looking for a 'hot spot'..and hot spots are not vast tracks of land. They are very rare happenings in specific areas!
And as for finding 50 people...may be possible..but after the first weekend 47 of them will go home never to return..and then you are left with Sebastion's original 'three'!

I believe that a group of that size would make too much noise...both in the arrival and through the search. Any sas worth it's salt would head even deeper into the woods to avoid such a group. I feel that they would be more than aware of human presence and take the necessary steps to make themselves scarce.
That tactic fails with the BFRO in a big way every time they try on of their "pay-for-sasquatch" weekends ($800-$1000) Too much going on for our favorite hairy biped.

A "platoon" of 25 people, tramping through the woods is just too much.

I've never been a fan of the "Sasquatch Safari" type hunts/expeditions, where you gather 50+ people & head out trying to run down a creature. You are in the domain of the Sasquatch, it knows the ground 20 times better than anyone you could bring with you, has better vision, hearing, & sense of smell than anyone in that large group has. If it sees a large group performing a sweeping grid search, it's going to know that something is up & will most likely vacate the area. The creature is also much stronger & faster than anyone in the group. It will make use of these skills to make itself scarce. And chasing off a Sasquatch can have lasting effects for the research area as a whole.

I believe that you should have no more than eight to ten people in one field search team at one time. Each time you add another person, it lessens your chances of having any sort of an encounter at all.

I was always a sorta Rick Noll fan...just yourself out there..or only one or two others..all keeping in close daily contact on developements!

Yeah, that is a highly effective way of performing field research.

I agree with the Rick Noll approch, except for the safety factor. I feel you need two people. One person and a broken leg or hip is going to be in trouble.

My personal choice is 5 people. 2,Two man teams (interconnected by walkie-talkie and maybe several miles away). Ane one logistics person/cook to run for supplies, cook and keep an eye on the camp.

While everyone's out looking for bigfoot, the camp's being raided by them.

What I will be trying in the near future is a two camp set up.

A main camp with a vehicle and motor boat with at least one person, mostly to be used as an extraction team, while I and another person, will be at an "Observation Camp" some 12 or so km away at the end of a lake I have in mind, with two canoes, which is located in the center of 10 encounters within a radius of 65 km, that have occured in the last 20 years or so.

At the "Observation Camp" the activities would be similar to what a group of friends would do while fishing.

The idea here is to let sasquatch come to us, rather than us moving about to find any signs, by using its sense of curiosity, to see what all the noise and activities are about.

It may or may not work, but its worth a try. The time frame would be for at least two weeks or more if at all possible.

Hi Red:

I like your plan.
While sasquatch might have very few weaknesses that we can hope to possibly capitalize on, I believe curiosity just might be one.
I also think "humans" might be the best bait to use in a well thought-out plan to capture a sasquatch on film.
It may take some very detailed pre-planning to get the camp setup just right, but if everything is just right and luck is on your side, it might come together in your favor.
Good luck. And please remember to keep us posted.

I am curious if there has been known sightings/activity of Sasquatch in the Caribou-Chilcotin areas, especially West of Williams Lake, B.C.? I am a frequent visitor to those areas and notice the obvious isolation in that part of the country. It occurs to me that this may be suitable conditions for the 'big boys' to dwell.
Any plans for a 'Big Foot' convention in the near future in the Lower Mainland?

Thanks,
Dar

Hi Dar,
Oh yes, big times! There were reports from the Teedsmuirs Park to Bella Coola. Some interesting spots such as Nusatsum road (dirt road and check out a place called Ape Lake), the Tote road (right at the bottom of the Hill) to South Bentick Arm (the road may be deactivated, have to get there by boat). Lots of Grizzlies there, so watch out. Most sasquatch reports came from down the valley, few and far between east of Anaheim Lake.
cheers,
seb

I have to agree with Sebastian. two or three people tops. One has to remember that folks who are willing to devote themselves to searching for a creature which 80 percent of the population says does not exist, tend to rather pigheaded types. Trying to get 25 of these people together each with there own ideas of what they should be doing! well before you know it, Sasquatch researcher massacre!! Today Bill Miller and I were out in the mystery valley area west of 20 mile bay. I will try to include photo here If I can, and small groups or alone is the best way to get anything done.

P.S. I was going to try and include a photo but I have no idea how this is done? I tried but it didn't work?
