I have not read Ron Morehead's work but or course have been in discussion here on the Forum on the idea of misdirection/confusion as well as attraction by stimulating curiosity. Also was in discussions in the past regarding BF counting but no conclusions were arrived at. It was from these kinds of discussions that I was able to gather concepts to write a recent book for hunting the creature outright. Here is an excerpt from pages 57-58: "Some of the actions or tactics as far as a camp goes may be able to take full advantage of the curiosity factor inherent in Sasquatch. Thinking it to be an intelligent creature people have given it some of the capacities that Humans possess whether deserved or not. The term is anthropomorphizing. Some even hold to the belief that the creature can even count. It really doesn't matter if it can or can't. It may understand that there's three hogs in the clearing and not two but knowing that doesn't mean it can count. It's really more about assessing attack strategies than anything close to rudimentary math. If there are enough members in the team a trap of sorts can be set up. Rig up ahead of time a couple of cameras outside a target tent and hook them to USB ports of two computers inside the tent. The ploy goes like this: For a six man team start by having two members enter a tent. One comes out and two go in which means three are now in the tent. One comes out which leaves two in the tent. Then three go in and two come out. Then one comes out which will again leave two in the tent. This can be done alongside various diversions by outside members away from the tent to distract any observers. The members outside busy themselves with packing and going into various tents and returning and then walking behind tents and then reappearing. In the confusion the two that were left in the tent will turn on the computer in order to monitor the outside but otherwise should go unnoticed. Assemble the team and go noisily into the field to draw attention away from the camp. The trap has now been set. The two left in the tent are armed and can now monitor at least two approaches to camp on the computer screens. The hardest part will be the waiting. If Sasquatch enters the camp then a major crossroad has been arrived at. Take the shot or don't take the shot. Again, refer to the section “To Shoot Or Not To Shoot” because that critical and potentially devastating decision deserves its own chapter. It is a surprisingly complex and sensitive personal safety issue along with its deeper legal, social, and psychological repercussions; Each of which could bear their own lengthy discussions. Add to that the chapter on “Getting Out” and the obstacles become even more compounded." The Sasquatch Hunter's Field Manual

I'll just give you some "knock" numbers from the SSR's 252 knock reports Continent wide. 65% in hours of darkness. 56% of those reports in hours of darkness come on times of the night when the moon is visible. October is the most common month for a knock report, with a report in October being 32% more likely than any other month. The numbers differ of course when narrowed down though by geographical area though and WA State where i look at a lot. The Southern WA Cascades for example and its 31 reports. 76% in hours of darkness, a 17% increase on Continent wide reports. 36% of those reports in hours of darkness come on times of the night when the moon is visible, a 36% decrease on Continent wide reports. June is the most common month for a knock report, with a report in June being 100% more likely than any other month. Different strokes for different folks. If anyone wants any State specific info on knocks, just shout and i'll add to the thread..
