Summer is here and so is the heat, still hiking 3+ days a week though. There's an area that I pass through often, and is where 5 different trails converge by a creek, so I decided to throw out some corn in about a 10' circle. I knew the Hairyman was using some of these trails, and would be a good spot , thinking it would attract some type of prey species they could ambush. Well, the Hairymen found it first and ate every single kernel, I mean gone in one night! Tramped up the area pretty good, and left 2 sizes of prints......check 'em out, some are better than others, plus there's some track over track going on, first pic shows the disturbed area with Lulu jumping out of the creek. Also, nearby at the Gift Tree......more apples missing, I put several in the latched box hanging about 6' up in a tree, with a few more stuck on Deer antlers that I weaved that through cord....there one day, gone the next.

You are spot on correct of course and it's good to stay grounded in that respect. I also think that a Sasquatch WILL have a different heat signature than its hairless biped cousins who wear clothing. The images in the article do have some distance involved but I thought what was important was the fact that wildlife agencies outside the U.S. see the value beyond a military use. There is no doubt that militaries around the world have the best there is starting with the higher developed nations but uses for wildlife monitoring and poaching is the point here. So the question remains, how extensively is the technology being use by F&W- and you, Norseman, and everyone else know where this I going since I'm the one posting it LOL. No conspiracy theories need, thank you, but this is still fascinating technology and I have no doubt it's being used extensively. I just would like to know HOW extensively and what kinds of set ups are being deployed. Like I mentioned, border patrol is a no-brainer as is Law Enforcement in general. But the subject of thermal imagers here is for wildlife monitoring and so I am curious if there is any permanent deployment is state or national forests. My guess is of course there is but with some digging and research we might be able to get a better picture of how extensive deployment is. Under bridges? Large culverts under highways? The man-made wildlife overpasses? Pinch points? Elk herds? Caribou? Other migrations? SASQUATCH?
