Don't really care about USFS view (but do care abt USFS because I teamed to do trail maintenance/rehab/bldg with some of their interagency groups), but US Fish and Wildlife Service gave the late Larry Batson a pulpit and interview as well as presentation space in West Virginia twenty some years ago and did not make a farce out of his efforts. His cred as a wildlife educator and rehabilitator gave him entre apparently as well as being geographically situated to the venue.   PS Remember the late  William Dranginis had a sighting around Culpeper or Quantico, Virginia with  off duty FBI agents that was detailed to the nth degree, nobody made fun about that at the FBI.   

They make fun of the subject. Which I find irksome. I do like to deal with the forest service better than the park service. Other than electric bicycles.

Another important factor for interest here is contribution from our members.   I know it’s unpopular with some but we have attempted to squelch trolls here simply because bona fide researchers would post something of interest only to have the “never Squatch” crowd descend like a pack of wolves and destroy it. There is a difference between a good faith critique (I think your audio is a canid) vs. just trolling because anyone who believes in Bigfoot is an idiot.   I try to drag videos I watch of interest here as well as post up pictures of my outings. Including a interesting hand print half buried in the snow.   How do we incentivize more people sharing their audio, video and photos?

This is what Google says: "The US Forest Service's official stance on Bigfoot is that it's a creature of folklore and urban legend, though they have engaged in some playful acknowledgements of the creature. While they don't formally confirm Bigfoot's existence, they maintain open spaces and wildlife habitat on their lands, which could potentially include habitat for such a creature. In fact, the US Forest Service even has a "Mythical Wildlife Division" and has issued tongue-in-cheek "confirmations" of Bigfoot's existence on April Fool's Day."
