The DM 720 will accept up to a 32g microSD card. I bought the recorder off eBay for $80. The harbor freight box was $18. The D cell battery holders I got off Amazon for something like $7. I don’t remember what I paid for the Kimbrough mics, as it was several years ago. I see he charges $100 for them now. I’m into it cheap enough. The case is lockable, but I wonder if a lock would bang around on the plastic case. @BlackRockBigfoot the mics do not require power. He’s a good guy. I’m Facebook friends with him and he is always willing to answer questions. He told me how to make the above set up. He has been researching for years and just put out a book. https://www.kimbroughaudio.com/

I don’t know if it will charge that way. It has the large usb, not micro. I just rigged up a contraption to convert it to run off of D cells. I had to cut one screw head off to make a work in the stock battery compartment. As long as you wire it in series, positive to positive, negative to negative, you are still at the 1.5v the DM 720 runs on (single AAA).

It does. But it doesn’t charge while recording.

Yes. But this is a new DNA find in Northern California. Mireya said specifically in a interview that it was not a chip that was responsible for Kentucky DNA.

I am building an audio recorder to place next weekend. I’m still waiting for my mics though. My friend has a pair of Kimbrough Gold mics that I can put in, but he’s an hour and a half away. I’ll glue them in next weekend. I plan on placing the mics in the corners, under the lip of the box. That may help with any rain. The recorder is to be placed with rocks stacked on top of it on an outcropping of rocks overlooking several canyons and valleys. I used an Olympus DM 720 modified to run off D cell batteries. It doesn’t charge through the USB while recording. With 2 batteries wired in, it should run for at least a month, if not more, recording for 8 hours every night.

None of these are a great match. We have considered in the past getting a Savannah or Serengeti but I just have not had the ability to pull the trigger as I really am a dog lover. https://petkeen.com/hybrid-cat-breeds/

Not an elk. I've hunted elk for over 40 years. Elk simply do not do what that thing had to have done not to leave tracks. *Ever.* I'm not convinced they are physically capable of doing what has been suggested. It's also incredibly rare for them to lay down to eat .. fruit. It was not real unusual to have elk come into our yard to get at the apple trees and the fallen apples. .. so I think I can rightly claim firsthand expertise on that, y' know? They will sometimes lay down to chew their cud like a cow. Deer do the same. But not to do initial consumption nor is fruit part of "cud". I'm not trying to prove bigfoot to you by elimination of other (ridiculous) options, just saying the elk explanation does not fly. If you need to explain this away, find another explanation. Since we're on these ... Freeman footage is probably legit. At least if it was a hoax, Paul wasn't in on it. The Myakka image .. I dunno what that is but I lean toward hoax of some sort. It's not bigfoot. There are anatomical problems. If skunk ape = bigfoot then it's not skunk ape either. The body doesn't look even vaguely orang-like to me. The image appears to me to be of a natural biped, not a tree dweller, and a stoutly built one at that. I'm on the fence regarding the Jacobs photo. What I will say ... whether it is hoax, mistaken ID, or real, it is too ambiguous to be considered convincing evidence so regardless, it is pretty useless and far short of compellng. PGF .. as I've said before, Patty appears biologically appropriate to be the female counterpart of the male I saw in '76 and appears biologically appropriate to be the mother of the juvenile/adolescent I saw in 2013. I had not seen the PGF 'til somewhere around 2014-2015 though I'd heard of it. If it is anything but legit, a) how did those two near-broke cowboys manage to create the suit and b) how did they know what to make it look like? Nah .. whatever bigfoot is, what we see there is one. You can bet your lunch money on it and you won't go hungry. .. but those are just my views. MIB

We found the trackway along the Silver Knapsack Trail in the Golden Trout Wilderness of the southern Sierra Nevada Mountains (specifically, less than a mile from Soda Springs) in eastern California in 1972. There have been several other sightings/reports in this area. I didn't have a camera or tape measure, since it was a 6 day, 50 mile backpacking trip and weight/bulk was cut to the bone, but compared to my boot, the footprints were @ 15" long.

Welcome , Teresa & entropy !

And those dramatic horseback shots!

There's a chance that it was. It wasn't a visual encounter so you'll never truly know for sure what you ran into in the woods that day. That being said, I can definitely sympathize with you when you say that you're just as happy with not knowing. I had a little auditory encounter with something unknown right outside of my apartment window at one o' clock in the morning several years back. Something with a DEEP lung capacity passed by my apartment breathing heavily. It only lasted for a few seconds but it really left an impression. It was something very, very large. I could tell by the deep gutteral vocal pitch. It was something that you would expect from something that is 500 lbs or bigger like a bear or a lion. The thing almost sounded like a miniature freight train, and till this day I have no idea what it was.
