No, I don't think I can. That was perfect.

Apparently, on another BF website I just checked, you've had a class B encounter if you hear something in the dark, smell an odor, and have a creepy feeling all at the same time. Geez, that's a pretty low standard, isn't it? MNSkeptic

I've done the first, and seen the second...

There are other ways to be attacked other than physically.

Should I wait for someone to prove existence before I begin to study them? Proof of existence is a procedural thing that has not been completed yet, that I neither have the tools or desire to participate in (dead BF on a lab table). I just heard about a study about people that have made extraordinary discoveries. In nearly every case, it was people that devoted a significant and extraordinary amount of time doing it. Spending sufficient time is the key to discovery. Sitting back and waiting for someone else to prove something before devoting serious study will not likely accomplish something. With BF it is time in the field that will yield results. But I have to agree that some of the most vocal "experts" do not know what they are talking about.

Thank you for your kind words. Look I'm a no body in terms of this field. I don't go to conferences and I don't have leading researchers on speed dial. I'm just an average joe that goes out on my own dime when job and family don't get in the way to look. I have been blessed with being raised in a remote part of Washington that has historical had lots of sightings and most notably the bossburg tracks. I'm utterly frustrated with the "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" mentality that unfortunately is the majority in this field. They are gonna crack this thing wide open.........they just need another bag of dental resin! Or worse, we know they exists and don't care if they are proven. Thank goodness the polio vaccine wasn't handled the same way. No body stops and listens to what science is asking from each of us. I started Project Grendel (with lots of help) because if enough of us average joes got together who concentrated on cutting through the bull? We might get lucky and solve this thing in our lifetime. I can shoot a rifle very well and can pack stock in the mountains......those are my strengths, along with others. For others it's crunching data and reading reports. We ping ideas and experiences off of each other and we never get into debates about existence or pro kill, it's great. We don't take ourselves super seriously and we don't hide information. I'll tell anyone my methods I've tried as well as those of other members. So secret sauce, no competition, no egos, let's just get it done and over with ASAP. Nobody needs to be the "guy", and we just want to settle the mystery once and for all. If Branco can get a saliva sample by simply handing over a piece of fruit? Awesome! I don't care how it happens, just so it happens. But 50 years ago a Sasquatch was covered by a rifle as it walked down a creek bed. The man chose not to shoot, and his buddies film was going to crack it wide open. But science scoffed at it, the logging continued and here it is 50 years later. Not a real animal but a myth like a Leprechaun. I find the whole situation quite sad really. I also find it sad to hear the explanations for why its impossible to take a specimen. Everything from black helicopters to mental telepathy. I hear lots of people talking about the creatures attributes and abilities, when we have not even scratched the surface. Anyhow, I'm not saying this is the only way, but easily it's the quickest way to prove it exists.
