When planning, one must be absolutely ruthless. By that, I mean, you plan and examine every idea from every angle, and do your best to leave minimal variable to chance. The devil's in the details - and once you have a plan, now you must be most ruthless. You must put on another hat, and ruthlessly attack your own plan. Do your best to destroy it by "what if instead of this - they do that?" "What can my opponent do to defeat THIS portion of my plan?" On and on, being absolutely ruthless. Each time, you alter your plan as best you can to account for the unknowns to the best of your ability. Just understand that every plan works great, right up until the moment of contact.

You have the right questions. A narrative of a Native American when she was a girl. Was near a creek, heard shooting, and a crashing running in her direction. She pulled back into the brush and here came a BF who appeared to be wounded. He went down the creek wall, lay down, and pulled leaves over himself. The noise of men that had been chasing got closer, and since at that time a young Native American girl alone was not safe, she left and went home. I've had enemy all around me, and even step between my head and outstretched hand - and missed me. Why? I wore some decent camo, I was motionless, and most people look over terrain - and don't properly scan in detail. If you had 10,000 people, maybe twenty would have the eye for detail required. I don't believe for a moment this is a dumb animal you can drive. And assume one discovered a BF in hiding. Who's going to catch it it it takes off? Maybe it decides to go "through" the thin line full bore. Maybe someone gets hurt. Out of a hundred hunters - I may find one with the skills and careful enough to actually hunt with. The rest - no thanks.

Listen to this man, he knows.

Heh, maybe "someone" (ahem) should mention that in some little Sasquatch hunting book somewhere

Team of 4-6 I'd think would suffice, with everyone having rotating roles to play. It's all about being able to get the time and resources that would allow it to happen for at least something like an initial 3 month period, minimum. Resources would include scouting locations of course before hand but beyond that and outside of actual time, wouldn't cost a great deal at all.

It's the same idea as i will go to the grave with where Project Grendel is concerned. Normal Camping for as long as possible with no "BF'ing" whatsoever going on, in a pre-determined area, at a pre-determined time of year with even pre-determined days due to moon phases. If i could have a dollar for every time i've read "On the first night there was nothing, but the following nights.......", i'd be better off financially than i am now I believe the inquisitive nature of this animal could be its downfall, and the numbers do back that up. A fake play or mis-direction would be being able to completely turn the tables on that scenario, and that would be done by covert/counter surveillance, very similar to what Bart Cutino happened upon in his good thermal video and how that situation played out. That IMO is how to achieve your objective and i say it with the back up of what i believe the numbers point to. The execution of the fake play or mis-direction would be with either a camera or a shotgun i'd say.

Good post FA. We are all falling in to the trap again of thinking we are the number 1 animal in the forest, when we are not. To reach the objective within this subject, my belief is that mis-direction and/or a fake play is needed.

I don't think traps personally, I think these things are extremely smart. Better off with a sniper IMO, much better off.
