Family stayed in Arkansas from January till mid March of 2020..I brought them back due to Covid in the town they where staying in Arkansas.. I became aware of activity early November and it peaked in December.. continued activity till June.. One thing that wasn't put in the Bigfoot Odyssey doc that I spoke about was the conversation I had with the local school folks and my son mentioning Bigfoot and after a heated discussion, it was the boys last day at that school...that was in September. With a concern of activity starting again around Nov and with the meeting at the school..wife didn't want to be the crazy Bigfoot family at the school teacher conferences.. Wife and kids moved to Arkansas, I traveled back and forth every week till after the holidays..preparing the property to be listed for sale.. Parents wanted to move also.. accepted a offer last week for the property...I have a good job in Arkansas and close next month on our new home.. Thanks to everyone for there help, advice and guidance..Joe came into my life because of this forum and Im forever in his debt..ty

I am glad that you got the family out of there, man. I know that you felt not as threatened by the activity after awhile, but I still don't trust those things around kids. I haven't talked to you in a while. I will shoot you a message. I wanna pick your brain on something.

Hi Mark, Thanks for your update! I am so glad to hear that things eventually worked out. We know that you and your family didn't ask for this whole Sasquatch scenario. I feel it is a good example of why we cannot leave these creatures as "undiscovered" or say that they are just being curious. Good luck to you and your family in Arkansas!

@AtariBfpics I wish you and your family luck in your future endeavors, and I hope you will continue with us in this forum.

They said that there was elk tracks all over that area, so, I believe that the elk or something before the elk got there, ate the apples and then after the apples were eaten, the elk laid down in the cool of the mud like elk typically do in a wallow (a wallow is a muddy area that elk like to lay in and roll around in) and left the imprint that they casted. I have hunted deer and elk for over 40 years and that cast , to me, looks to be consistent with the elk beds that I have seen.

Yeah, myself and another now inactive member found AtariBF (the guy with activity in oklahoma) on reddit and I spoke with him about coming here to discuss his problem. I messaged with him awhile on Reddit before I convinced him that he would probably be better served over here than on reddit. Our member Photog went out there and gave him some hands on assistance, until the crypto-tainment community moved in and tried used his case as advertising for their festival. My words, not photog's. If I recall correctly, the main activity slowed down and his family has returned... unless something has started up again. I haven't spoken to AtariBF in a while.

You just gave me an idea on how to take night pictures. Except for FLIR systems that cost 10s of thousands, the resolution of handheld FLIR systems is so poor, even if you imaged a BF, you could not learn much beyond height and shoulder width compared to trees etc. No details like facial features, hair, etc would be evident. Night photography using visible or UV light cameras is limited because of the inverse square rule. A light source light level drops off at a rapid pace related to the inverse square of the distance involved. However, if you have a camera taking pictures at intervals, like a Plotwater, and a rapidly spinning laser illuminating an area, the coherrent laser light light effectively illuminates an object at a much higher level because it has not spread out getting there. Perhaps the plotwatcher would get enough back scatter light to image something back in the woods. I have a plot watcher and a couple of laser lights so will run an experiment with a spinning laser. I need figure out a way to wobble it so it sort of illuminates in horizontal strips like a TV scan pattern. Mechanical wobble would be best because I can just spin the laser with a motor. News this morning out of Oklahoma. A state legislator has introduced a bill, allowing a Bigfoot hunting season in the state. The bill only allows trapping and provides a $25,000 bounty.
