I have heard enough anecdotal witness reports that I think BF uses the same hide behind the tree peeking and maintaining cover behavior both day and night. If so that makes it very difficult to expect even FLIR to show much of anything other than a quick peek exposing only part of a head, possibly only one eye. Two assumptions seem to be at play. Humans assume that BF disregard their peeking and hiding behind tree behavior at night and one can catch them standing in the open with a FLIR. I do not think that assumption is correct. BF seem to assume that humans can see as well as they do in the dark so they pretty much use the same behavior day or night. If the BF assumption about humans is true, then just like daytime, night BF behavior maintaining cover makes it very hard to photograph a BF. I doubt that BF knowledge about human physiology includes the fact that we may be nearly blind in the dark. That may well be why the night FLIR imaging success seems to be pretty much the same as the daytime photographic lack of success.

Been lurking about bigfoot on here and elsewhere but decided to join here, as it seems the most normal and moderated site. Have been interested since I was a kid from LOBC, and then seeing the PG film. Love reading accounts think there are just too many for them all to be hoaxes or misidentifications. Just a novice but hope to one day travel to the PNW and get some time in the woods.

I should have tumbled to the location in view of the Sequoia reference. When not deployed VA-97 was stationed at NAS Lemoore some thirty plus miles SSW of Fresno. We took every opportunity to head into the mountains on weekends, usually to Yosemite or Sequoia National Park. WRT whether photo and/or video evidence would confirm Sasquatch existence, I can think of one scenario where it might at least provide impetus to main stream scientists for further investigation. There is a story from about 1978 or 1979, that I've read at least twice, in which a Sasquatch wandered down from the direction of Yacolt Mountain west of the town of Yacolt, Washington, and walked along the fence of one of the baseball fields during a little league game before heading back into the woods. This was observed by parents, players and coaches. If something similar happened now, you would certainly have many photos and videos from multiple angles and if the visit was accompanied by some demonstration of unusual speed, strength, etc., it would be icing on the cake. Yacolt is located roughly midway on a line between Vancouver, Washington and Mt. St. Helens and has a history of sightings. From Will Jevning's book "Haunted Valley" about his investigations in the area:

That sucks. Drag it got to that point. I've never ridden a snow mobile, how hard would it have been to back up that trail once he saw the moose? Give it a few minutes to let the moose go on his way.

Cool video! The things you learn on the web! I guess I've never paid attention to seals before but I had no idea they could be deadly. thanks for posting that.

But did he have to...from the get go...he kept pushin' forward. Moose's backyard the snowmobiler entered, I think it's a shame is all in my opinion. Got nothin' against huntin'...just sad ta see a animal killed for no apparent reason. Least he could have done when he drove by, is put a round or two in its head, end it. Just my opinion is all.
