I would be interested to hear these clips that are said to sound like frogs voices or the researchers voices as described in the original post. This chatter or possible language is not a made up phenomenon { though some may be faking stuff or even unknowingly recording them selves at a distance }, I have personally heard { and recorded } these sounds in the field. I use to think it was a bunch of garbage tossed into stories to make them fun or exciting as Terry suggested above but this simply is not the case. There is a considerable amount of this type of audio that is not public and only shared among private groups.

When BF is accepted by science, I don't think it will be the end of bigfoot shows. They will probably get better ratings and watched by the same people that watch nature shows instead of kook fringe believers like most of us are believed to be. The first shows with be like "Finding Bigfoot" with the same or a different title. Mat and crew are not going away with better ratings. Then there be those about why it took science so long to discover it. Then because of their elusive nature and the difficulty filming them in the wild, there will be shows about all the witness reports that nobody believed before. There is so much material there available when people can talk about it on camera without others thinking they are nuts. Meanwhile film crews will be spending big bucks trying to film them in the wild, probably not very successfully. There will be shows about how difficult that is. Then there will be shows about the Government cover up and the government trying to hide existence. Then someone will contact some habitation situation and get lots of video. That just takes cooperative property owners coordinating with people with the money to successfully hide cameras. Then the nature show types will want to know about the BF daily life and the quest for good video of that will occupy a lot of people. The Jane Goodall's of the world will flock to understand and protect them and that will be filmed. The problem with all of this is nothing about it benefits bigfoot. Perhaps it will lead to habitat protection but powerful forces are already at work trying to prevent that on the Federal as well as state level. The State of Washington is logging State Owned forest lands like crazy right now. The State needs the money. Mostly away from the Puget Sound area where environmentalists would notice and try to stop it. The amount of logging in the last two years in my research area is incredible. I have never seen anything like it. I am very sad for the BF I know that live in the area. I think that while they accepted me 2 years ago, now they are less than happy with humans because of all the logging and have started being nasty with me. RR

Might give you a pretty good idea of where they bed or hide and allow you to place cameras at a later date - say a cave or abandoned mine. I would think it would be great for anthropologists to view and might even yield some info you could use as far as population goes. It also seems like decreased foliage could only be a plus when using cameras, thermal imagers, or snipers. Seems like a pretty good idea all around, it's too bad about the schedule problem.
