Agreed, who knows what the on-screen personalities knew or when they knew it. We have no idea in what sequence the various scenes were actually shot. It would be interesting to know how the concept of the show was presented to Dr. Mayor. She presents as a serious researcher with a solid reputation in her field; it's difficult to believe she would have signed on knowing in advance that the production would amount to little more than an over hyped hoax. I really hope that her reputation isn't damaged in the eyes of her peers (in the unlikely event any of them actually watched the show). I don't view this from the perspective of egos or the "Bigfoot community". Trust is another matter entirely, to my eyes the production is no more or less than an elaborate hoax, a web of lies and deception from beginning to end presented to viewers as a serious attempt to explore the subject. The premise of the show, that the timing and locale were chosen based on applying an advanced algorithm to some huge number of sighting reports, a lie. The locale is a remote wilderness area; this is a lie on it's face as motorized transport is illegal in designated wilderness and twice a lie as the actual locale is a privately owned commercial operation. The graphic used throughout the production, presented as a bird's eye view of the research area, was a fabrication massively misrepresenting both the physical features and scale of the research area. I could continue with the mysterious old wrecked pickup stumbled upon, the cemetary in the middle of the forest, the "deadly cinnabar" mine, all misrepresentations and/or outright lies. So, was there any truth at all in this production? About the only thing I think was at least possibly true was the deer seen in the thermal across the meadow. How much of the rest was hoaxed by the crew, possibly without the knowledge of the cast? I don't like being lied to, regardless of the subject, and I don't trust liars. Plug another subject in place of Bigfoot in the title; Expedition Tasmanian Tiger, Expedition Amelia Earhardt, Expedition (your choice here), a hoax is a hoax, a lie is a lie and lost trust is very difficult to overcome.

I think I saw a couple of them in the supermarket yesterday. They were really bulked up knuckle draggers. No mask or gloves and they seemed unconcerned about catching any modern viruses.

Not sure getting at the truth behind something has as much to do with fragile egos as with just wanting to just get at the truth behind something? Call it a reaction from a community that has been hoaxed more than once over the decades. Audiences were led to think the stage had been set in the deep, remote wilds of Oregon, not within a tourist attraction. The sleuthing effort was commendable and as a result the truth of the environment around the researchers was laid bare. It wasn't a bad thing, and it certainly wasn't a product of fragile egos at work. At least I didn't think so....my opinion So, um, you edit BF books you say? Feel free to download my novel.......and although you may not edit novels, it still may use some looking over?

Hello, Im 59 years old lived most of my life in Wyoming. Mainly a fly fisherman but have hunted, got what I needed. I now live in Virginia, bring my fly fishing knowledge here. Im seem to be a rare bird here. I stumbled on this site watching YouTube shows on Sasquatch. I watch each story as they come out. I have my own encounter, but that's another time. See you around, Patrick Patterson Cant figure out how to get my image in but that's ok, not concerned

We are on page 32 discussing this guy, ppl here have viewed his videos to see what he’s all about, good or bad. As Norse pointed out, even bad publicity is good publicity. His tactics work as far as monetizing his YouTube channel.

Where were you thirty years ago? I moved two pianos today and I think I’m gonna die.

LOL........if they paid me $25k or $30k for some adventure, I'd give them some. Guided grizzly hunts can be had for less than that. I can get them charged by a coastal brownie for a fraction of that.
