That is inaccurate. It is not a “permit”.When you check your firearm as luggage, iypt must be in a hard sided, lockable firearms case, and it must be locked. It must be declared to the agent, and you sign a declaration acknowledging that it is properly packed and unloaded. Ammunition must be either in a container manufactured to hold ammunition or in its original packaging. You are not required to declare ammo. Hunting permits to hunt sasquatches are not available anywhere. A hunting license and tag legally justifies the possession of firearms both in your car and on your person. Wild pig tags are usually valid year round in the western states, and tend to be the cheapest big game tags available. Whoever kills a Bigfoot can likely count on a myriad of aggressive and vengeful legal persecutions ranging from illegal big game hunting to murder. It would be best to take some photos, get a gps fix on the location, quickly cut off a hand, foot, and head (which together probably weigh up to 50 lbs), put them in a burlap bag, and immediately drive to Idaho State University where you walk into Jeff Meldrum’s office, put it on his desk, give him the gps coordinates, and drive away without a word.

And help bring comfort to those whose loved ones are missing. A story on this site about a missing toddler out west led me to track down a local group (which was not as easy as one would think) and join. I've been on several searches since then and even if we don't find the missing person, the family appreciates the effort is made. As to learning skills that give you confidence, at one meeting we practiced splinting. The next month when I was hiking w/my wife in the 'Dacks, I fell and badly fractured my arm. We splinted it and, with the moral support and help of another couple who ran into us as we we're getting ready to move, hiked out 2 miles (okay, a little less - the distance gets longer every time I tell the story).

Are you guys familiar with researcher Bob Gymlan (NOT Bob Gimlin!)? He has some fantastic research videos! I feel like I've really added to my knowledge base by watching his videos. Link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVJLEQ0AoKBwD0I_IzSO5wg

My "thoughts on the more extreme sightngs". Fear exaggerates everything. I find that if I don't write things down immediately, my memories are suspect. My memory sucks. My kid has a photographic memory just like my grandfather, and I'm envious. I bet some stories are exaggerations, but based on real events. we know very little about these things - we can't even agree if they are animals, people or something in between. We have no concrete, real data on their capabilities. We can't even agree on how many varieties of bf exist. How can we say anything in judgement of anyone's stories? The "Magic's just science that we don't understand yet" quote seems to be app!icable to much of the goings on of Bigfoot and their experiencers. In other words, they seem mysterious and possibly mystical until we have concrete facts. It's all in the minds of the experiencers how they interpret their data. No two people will define an event exactly the same, we all filter experience through our own worldviews.

What? I transport both rifles and handguns all the time on domestic flights, not to mention the trunk of my rental cars........even in the passenger area of the vehicle in the case of vans. An annual non-resident hunting license in California costs $168, and a tag for wild pig costs $78 (pigs are open year round), so for $246, you can quite legally carry a rifle, handgun, and ammo in the trunk of your vehicle everywhere in the state, or walk around on public lands locked and loaded, every day of the license year, and there’s isn’t a damned thing anybody can do about it.

For all the BFF "tough guys," if you actually want to bag a squatch come on down to Plumas county in Northern CA. Kinda close to where Smeja made his "kills". From personal experience I can guarantee you that they are almost everywhere in those parts if you are discreet. Let's get this done boys. I would be happy to give you directions etc....

Today... Classified Entry #6000 is done. In honor of this milestone, I have decide to add my own encounter from May of this year into the database. I gave it SSR ID #6000. The sighting that WAS #6000 was moved to another SSR #. My report was submitted and investigated by BFRO in July, but is not published by them. I decided I do not need to wait for them any longer. IF BFRO publishes, then this report will get it's own thread. I briefly discussed it in the paranormal section of this forum, not because it was paranormal, but because that's where I was asked about it. That is the link I used for the SSR entry. An 11 foot stick was used to determine height during the investigation, but I have found a flaw with what we did. I still question the height and have plans when weather allows to get back in there with a pole that will tell me exactly how tall it was. I only saw an arm swinging away. The NA guy who was with me saw it's whole upper body and face, but BFRO did not talk to him. Some day I will get and share his 'official' version of the encounter. I also caught possible vocalization audio from very near this spot the following morning. Here is a link to my first descriptions on the forum: https://bigfootforums.com/topic/59746 Here is the post where I explain why I think it's over 9 feet tall: https://bigfootforums.com/topic/59746 SSRID: 6000 Report Score: 7 Sighting Date: 05/25/2018 Sighting Time: 13:30 Moonphase: Duration (mm:ss): 00:01 Season: 1 - Spring (Mar 20 - Jun 19) State: NE County: Thurston Latitude: 42.158357 Longitude: -96.344494 Altitude: 1060.00 ft BFRO Class: A - Class A Sighting Type: S - Single Creature Witness: 2 - Multiple, no evidence Witness Activity: B - BFing Witness Gender: Male Witness Age: Witness Feeling: 1 - Excited Witness Occupation: Electronics Engineer Terrain: F - Forest Zoning: P - Park Land / Refuge Photo Evidence: N - None Footprint Evidence: N - None Footprint Length: 0 - 0" Stride Length: 0 ft 0 in Height (ft): 9 Height (in): 6 Hair/fur Color: N - Brown Skin: U - Unknown Organization: Rez Squatching Research Researcher: TK Bell Confidence: Complete Report URL: https://bigfootforums.com/topic/59746-a-question-for-those-who-have-had-telepathic-interactions-with-sasquatch-3/?do=findComment&comment=1013597 Biological Evidence Animal Activity Animal Disposition Animal Locomotion W - Walking Weather S - Sunny / Clear C - Clear Skies Other

Is it more of a risk being alone? I believe it probably is but you can manage risk by identifying the factors involved and addressing them one at a time before you ever set out. Bring a big-bore revolver or bear spray if you're not allowed to carry. Learn wilderness survival skills and practice them in controlled environments. There are wilderness survival schools out there. Learn wilderness navigation skills as it is a big boost to your confidence. You can join a SAR group and hone skills there. Always have a backup or second method for fire, water, and shelter. Learn night sounds for your particular region. You'll be able to relax when you hear a bobcat or fox scream. Always have a way to call in the cavalry if things go south. It can be a PLB, satellite phone, or satellite messenger. Study the topo maps of the area you'll be in and have an exit plan ahead of time to depart a different way than you arrived. Probably most important in my opinion is to always be on alert and always monitor your surrounding 24/7. When I'm with someone else, it is easy to get lost in conversation and miss something. When I'm alone, I'm always listening and looking. What is out of place? What should be here and isn't or what isn't here and should be? I'm looking for a moving or broken branch, leaves fluttering, or ground impressions on and off trail. I'm also listening for a subtle twig snap, water splash, footfalls, or anything that will provide information that something is out there. Certain skills take a lifetime to learn but you can become more acquainted with your surroundings by studying them and constantly practicing skills. Edited - My tracking skills are not very good and it is one area I plan on getting formal training. I know a Native American who provides hands on work but his classes are booked at least a year or two in advance. I better get off my duff and get into one of them. These skills once learned will help to provide better clarity of whether something has passed through the area and if so, what and when.

There's probably no statistical difference in the risk between bigfooting alone and camping/hiking alone unless you are planning on shooting one, in which case the risk is probably the same as if you're planning on shooting a bear and miss (or only injure it). Are you sure you're reading these at credible sites? A lot of "bigfoot" sites and shows focus on entertainment, not research, and it's more entertaining to tell about a close call and incredible escape from a violent animal. Not saying that it wouldn't be scary to have an encounter w/any large animal nearby at night if you were in a tent, but I've seen very few encounter reports that are 1) credible and 2) involve harm or a clear, present threat to harm.

I love hearing the stories. Hearing stories leads to curiosity. Curiosity leads to inquiry. Inquiry leads to discovery. Discovery leads to telling another story. Wet, lather, rinse, repeat. Everything considered to be bigfoot "canon" comes from stories. Stories that make us curious enough to ask questions and discover things we didn't know. Sometimes it leads us to another story. Sometimes we come away with a plaster cast or a recording or a few stray hairs. Sometimes it leads us into the dark where things go bump in the night. At the end of it, we have our own stories to tell. If one wishes to derive fact from fiction and then truth from fact, one must tame inside themselves that which would cast away those things that do not fit one's own idea of what shape a fact should take. It's an old saw of a saying, "When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." The difficult part is differentiating the impossible from the possible. What is possible today wasn't considered possible 100 years ago. Too often the difference between the possible and the impossible is the limit of our understanding of the world around us. So I listen to the stories and wait for one of them to spark a question and see where it leads.

Folks, I don't know about you but this SSR effort is just hands-down a monumental achievement. The concept and subsequent execution of such a task has not been only about classifying the source data- it has also been about working out the bugs in the program and system along the way to which GIGANTOR (and the name SHOULD BE in all caps ) can take the credit as he patiently took in all of the notifications of glitches in the SSR and worked through them in order to have the data perform as desired. BobbyO, who worked diligently in every spare moment he could muster, and RedBone who has been nothing short of a juggernaut who has been unstoppable on getting report after report pigeon holed into the dataset. We owe these people a immense tip of the hat and I personally thank them for what they have done though my thanks falls way short of what they deserve, Thank you guys for staying with your goals when I fell behind, and for doing it all so incredibly well.

California has some new ammo laws that I don't understand, never mind gun laws. I don't think my Sig p226 is cali legal. Plus I don't think I can bring a handgun into that s___hole anyway. How can anyone want to live there?? The liberals have destroyed the state beyond repare.
