I can't imagine ANY sounds coming from a miming camp! LOL! I know you just mispelled 'mining', but I couldn't pass up the opportunity! :-)

Crow in some ways I wish I did not have my experiences, and there were more than one. Maybe you are the lucky one? I have probably spent close to $30,000 of my own money on bigfoot research and countless hours in the field. Travel, equipment, gas, conferences, etc. But since I had the "proof for myself" experience early on, most of what I have spent is to further what little knowledge we have about the creatures and share what I am lucky enough to experience with others. Unless I find a body washing out of snow bank or skeleton washing out of the lahar on Mt Saint Helens, nothing I will do can prove existence. I am not about to go try and shoot one. I cannot imagine anything more dangerous to do than that. A body has to come from someone else. Ketchum teased many with her DNA and many thought proof was just right around the corner. Hoaxers and for profit people abound certainly. Probably what disappoints me most now, is the element of distrust that permeates bigfoot research. I had expected, somewhat naively, that my experiences and knowledge would be welcomed but I find it questioned not only by skeptics but proponents who do not accept it because they don't believe what I have experienced. We have a whole culture of research based on field methods employed by a TV show. But the same organization associated with that show, refuses to investigate reports I submit. I report my experiences here and have been called a liar, hoaxer, insane, delusional, or simply mistaken. The rewards are simply not worth the pain for the most part. Are you talking about a pterodactyl? There are infrequent reports of that in out of the way places. I pray I never see one of those too. BF is tough enough.

I have a theory that proving the existence of sasquatch may corroborate accounts from the scriptures and apocryphal writings of the religions you malign.
