The bird without a head is weird...

Happens to everyone. I was about to cut some blank ebony fretboards today and spent awhile trying to find a certain ruler I use on them. Eventually I realized I had been holding it in my hand the entire time.

HI Bigtex, good to hear from you. I have to admit I haven't been spending much time here in the forums this past summer. Also good to see others considering bite marks and teeth radii. Getting people to consider that evidence was the main reason for me to start posting here in the first place.

The before and after pumpkin seed trail may be interesting. Pile of scat with pumpkin seeds would be unique.

If the military does have some captured Bigfoot's or dead bodies, I'm sure those in the know have already cancelled any future camping trips with their families.

Based in the existing pictures of the cabin and the description of the finders, I believe the cabin location is in the left central portion of this photograph where the trees butt up against the steep hillside. . The cabin was built into a steep hillside that comes down at a steep angle. Certainly portions of this picture fit the description given by the guys that found the cabin a few years ago. The miners mined into the steep portion looking for gold inside the mountain. Apparently when the cabin was burned the mine had been dynamited to keep people out of it. The finders could find no trace of the mine. After hearing the presentation of the finders, I flew a photography mission and photographed the area. This area is very near the East Lahar from the eruption and I have found footprints and some rock stacks out on the lahar. The BFRO had some reports of people leaving the Ape Canyon trailhead late in the day and hearing BF vocalizations in the distance.

I’d set up a Bigfoot trust. Then I would buy a nice bit of property in my squatching area, I’d hire a 5-6 man team to full time research...people with “certain skills”. Use the trust to fund the effort indefinitely...lots of fun tools you can put into a trust. I would hire a full time PR/social network specialist to publicize and gain outside sponsorship and run the outreach program at schools and plan “mini camps” so the next generation of squatchers can learn techniques and practice them. All team members would learn videography and every active “on the job” moment would be recorded via body cam...even booger picking. A weekly update would be posted publicly for internet folks to critique. We we would have all the cool toys. Like custom off-road rigs designed for three men crews...one driver, one navigator/vehicle commander, one in back controlling the dedicated drone each vehicle would have, managing the communications, and controlling the pan/tilt thermal imager mounted on an extendable boom on the roof as well as audio recordings. All vehicles would be networked via live 3D mapping. Of course I would have to have a dedicated software suite designed so any team member could log into any vehicle or device for observation. It would also have to have an advanced “facial recognition” capability that was tuned to identify animals based on unique identifiers. Their movements would be logged each time they are observed. Develop an air droppable game camera system that can be retrieved by drone. A couple “command center RV’s” used as mobile command centers with all of the above as well as critical supplies, such as a cooler, hammock and BBQ. Maybe fishing poles for “undercover work”. Every team member would would have a thermal goggle setup. That was networked...think Space Marines in “Aliens”. There would also also be a large stable of all electric UTV’s...of course a “Choppa” to drop folks off for overnight observations and to deliver supplies to long term teams. A drone blimp? The blimp would be used for its long on station/linger time as an airborne communications hub between teams and “eye in the sky” platform to observe/coordinate teams. Nah...that’s too far fetched. Of course, I would not use a mere 1%...it would be closer to 30-50%. I’m pretty sure I could eek out a Living on the rest. Is there any money left? If so I’d have matching jackets made.

For a true researcher. Disproving the existence of the Sasquatch is as important as proving they do exist. That is why we are RESEARCHERS, Not religious leaders pushing a faith. Thomas Steenburg

Went on a beautiful three mile (6 total) off trail hike today in the Eastern Sierras at about the 9,000 foot elevation along a ridge line that extends out to a point where I had an encounter a couple of years ago with a rock tossed at me after it let out a very loud snort, I sort of surprised it as it was sunbathing with the morning sun.. Saw several 17 inch tracks but were somewhat old, but were near a track way I came upon about three weeks ago of the same length with about a five foot stride. Came across two bear bedding's with scat next to one of them in the woods that was probably a few days old. The little bird was found in a bear track about 20 yards from the bear bedding with it's head missing. I was scouting to see if they were still up near the crest as they should be coming down to their winter area at the 7000 foot elevation on the south facing mountains where there are side canyons with creeks that feed into the main creek. My gut feeling tells me they have migrated to their winter spot already.

Creatures found in the fossil record share very similar traits to what is reportedly Bigfoot now. IT WAS THERE! Make no mistake about it. The question then becomes? Is it in north America right now in modern times? We need a body to prove it is. And if its already extinct? Then hopefully someday its fossils are discovered. I do not believe all reports, I do not believe this creature inhabits every state in the union or anything close to it. I tend to cast an appraising eye on areas that can still support our other giant omnivore the Grizzly Bear. There is a giant chunk of wilderness in the far east as well. Here is a cool video.

Caenus, how do your eyes react to your NV gear? Monocular or binocular? How is your near field depth perception?
