Currently in Alaska there are two major sasquatch researchers that I’m aware of; Rob Alley in Southeast Alaska and MichaelThompson in Tok, which is the interior on the Alaska Highway @ 100 miles from the Canadian border. It appears that they have a single internet site that advertises for reports operated by Thompson called Sasquatch Tracker. Alley has conducted extensive individual research in Southeast Alaska, has published a great book on the region ( Raincoast Sasquatch”). They apparently work together in the Alaska region. I intend to to contact them and offer my services in whatever way they see need, and especially stress my desire for field work, especially with regard to quick response. While I believe that the best habitat and highest density of sasquatches is right in the area that Alley operates, and that area is difficult to access (to say the least), I’m quite a distance from both of them, and my hope is that they would welcome my participation, especially in my region.

I have a hard time believing something as big as that statue is hiding in the woods! How do you hide in the trees when you are bigger than said trees!! Lol. This guy must live in Ca. hopefully at least in the Sequoia Nat’l Park.

Wow! Didn’t know where to post this, but what an amazing piece of artwork. Hope y’all enjoy watching it being built.. 9-Foot Metal Sasquatch Sculpture Cheers!

While USFS would be at least partially responsible for habitat management, the responsibility for biological recognition, study, and management would rest with state fish and wildlife departments, and secondarily (and, unfortunately, increasingly more primarily) on federal lands, the USFWS. Those are the folks who need to admit that these creatures exist, at least initially. If these creatures are then determined to be of the Homo genus, everything changes, and changes in huge, huge ways, and the future is then up in the air. It would almost be as monumental as if little green men landed on the White House lawn in a flying saucer.

In order to attain the sizes observed protein would have to be a part of their diet. If they exist they have been a part of the ecosystem and habitats they live in for 10's of thousands of years. They didn't just show up and displace some other large mammal, they have lived among them. As far as population densities. Considering that they have been witnessed all over North America they would have to have viable populations not only in localized areas like the PNW but elsewhere as well. I have tried to get forensic science to look at this evidence. But other than verbal interest I haven't had any takers. So all I have to work with is my own comparative research.

Not sure why you crossed out state authorities. The state park rangers are probably the ones with more feet on the ground and more attuned to what is really happening in the woods that we research in. It would be the state rangers, rather than Federal, that would get a phone call from frightened campers or hikers about what they saw or encountered. Having said that, I'm not quite sure how much time they actually spend looking for footprints, following up on reports, or being out there in the darkest hours of night trying to hear and see things. I know in my state, the park rangers are spread very thin and are chasing down reports of loud campers, poaching, stopping hunters to talk with them and check licenses, following up on injured animals, and many more things on their checklist. The last thing they have time or probably inclination to do is chase down someone who said they saw a footprint, heard a growl, or witnessed a tall, dark, shadowy figure around their campsite.

Ok ok..... I may or may not be planting dangerous cats in southern California....... *whistles*

There is little consequence to "investing" in IBWP research. You find one, no big deal. There is monumental consequence to finding a sasquatch. It would affect mass areas of land which will have to be set aside for habitat and protection. It would scare 90% of the people who recreate in the woods out of the woods, as they would not want to go where the real king kong lives. It would also cost immeasurable sums to monitor and protect them. Logging would be shut down in those areas as well. All-in-all, it would be a large financial outlay and the government at both the federal and state level would have to dedicate tremendous resources they don't have. There is no incentive for the government to have a sasquatch officially found. To the contrary, there are large financial reasons to keep it swept under the rug. I'd bet dollars to donuts that Federal and state park rangers are under strict instruction to keep a lid on anything they see or of credible reports given to them.

They can be jet black to platinum blond. Blondes have more fun, though.........
