This, which is exactly what Patterson and Gimlin did. Their chosen area of operations had both recent reports and a solid 12 year history of reports. I still think that the Freeman Map is a pretty good guide on a sasquatch hunt. It features general pathways used and seasonal timelines. -

We don't have a Bigfoot, so we don't know for sure how bigfoot lives. Bigfoot's skillset allows him to stay largely hidden. This might be from Luck or Ability. I might be there are just too few out there. We can't really plan to win the lottery. It does require a chance which is buying a ticket. More tickets increase your chances of winning. I know my chances of winning the lottery are 1 in million but every now and then someone out there wins. I would say Bob and Roger won the lottery. They won a rare encounter. We can try to mimic all they did and even if we do it right, the odds are we come up empty. The exception might be to use their method in an area of solid recent bigfoot activity. This made it even possible. Their skill or dumb luck further helped them. This included horseback, creek noise, obscured approach from the crow's nest root ball, and so on. It didn't hurt they were persistent willing to search repeatedly for weeks. Good Outdoorsmen can make a list what to pack for a Bigfoot hunt. If bigfoot knows you are coming, he will be gone before you arrive. Looking for Bigfoot was summed up nicely from a post I read years ago: Bigfoot is like KGB: You don't find them, they find you. -

There is another aspect to Paulides. We have to remember that he claims .. and his bigfoot books Tribal Bigfoot and Hoopa Project support this .. that he is the one who brought Melba Ketchum into the bigfoot world. He continues to support the authenticity of her "study" yet it is a clear hoax from purchasing the journal which still has never published a second paper to providing DNA strings which do not add up to what she claims they add up to to any number of shady shenanigans intended to suppress evidence of her misdoing. Until he separates himself from that quackery, I don't trust his judgement or his claims. If he is even half as smart as he claims to be, he KNOWS exactly what he's embracing. We are rightly judged by the company we choose to keep. I feel the same about Scott Carpenter and Steve Isdahl, the difference is, even beyond those two, Paulides should know better. MIB -

Bigfoot isn't in a zoo for the same reason Amelia Erhart's plane isn't in a museum. It's out there, but no one has found it definitively yet. As far as a zoo goes, I used to want Bigfoot in a zoo. Then, as I got older, I had second thoughts. This further struck home with me when watching this Bigfoot researcher from Bigfoots Reflection: He said essentially: if we caught bigfoot what do we do with him? I go to the zoo and watch apes and they seem...sad. I happen to agree with this now. I selfishly wanted Bigfoot in a zoo when I was younger. Now, it would be enough to have proof such a rare thing exists and let it be free. -

I agree with MIB's assessment. For the few cases that I dug deeply (that originally seemed bizarre and mysterious), I concluded that there were better prosaic alternative explanations that did not require an unknown agent. In addition, Nick Kyle, who produces the Missing Enigma YouTube channel has done a terrific job examining many of Paulides' 411 cases in depth and has also arrived at prosaic explanations. I am not suggesting that all Paulides' 411 cases have prosaic explanations, but just the ones that I have looked at in depth and the ones that Nick has shown on his channel. Nonetheless, I wonder about the quality of all the ones that have not been examined in depth by others. I am also a skeptic of his claims as OldMort stated above. https://www.youtube.com/@TheMissingEnigma/videos
