I have the book. Area 'X' was designated in 2006 but researchers were in that area 2001. The book is about enthusiasm, effort and failure. The author is only printing what NAWAC wants us to know. Any top secret details are still top secret. Wood Apes have been reported in this part of the country since the 1800's. Seems like most of the locals in that area have seen one. The terrain looks brutal with dense foliage and trackless ground cover with a lot of rocks. Difficult to impossible to have a clear, identifiable shot through the foliage. Area X base camp is on private property with 3 cabins. Humans use motor vehicles to drive to the cabins. Pitch a tent(s) and erect a canopy for the 'overwatch' shooter tent. There does not appear to be much 'searching'. They occupy base camp and wait for the Wood Apes to find them. The Wood Apes find them over and over. The Wood Apes have been throwing Hershisers at the researchers for decades. What do they do with all of the rocks? There must be a fancy rock fire pit / rock fire ring or rock garden. The Wood Apes have been watching the humans and schooling the young ones about human behavior. The ones studying on the periphery are not accounted for by the humans. I would guess that at least 3 generations of Wood Apes have been watching and listening. I will post in the paranormal section about 'hate'. Humans zig and Wood Apes zag but the apes are 10 zags ahead. They mimic call blasting 1 time and go silent. They mimic human speech expletives 1 time and go silent. Smart and sneaky. They set up the humans and elicited a sound shot. They created a loud noise and the human response was a sound shot with a 45-70. Why not throw a stick of dynamite? At least you will know where it lands. The next trick is for the Wood Apes to set up the humans to get into a cross fire scenario. I think that the shooting activity may have had results but other Wood Apes carried off the injured / dead. Funny thing about the thermal scopes. When they lost sight of the target, they were not able to reacquire. They have had serious firepower. 9 rounds from a semi-auto 12 gauge of 2 double ought buckshot then 7 slugs. 3 slugs from a Remington 870 plus some .40 caliber rounds from a side arm. The non lethal equipment has been a mix of technology. The radio transmitter-cocklebur device was diabolical. However, if the location of the cocklebur on the animal was not seen, then the height above ground for attachment is unknown. Wood Apes have an eye and ear for their environment. The cameras that they have used are not stealthy. Cuddeback, Reconyx, Buckeye, Plotwatcher and GoPro can be seen and heard. They have camera camo from South Africa. Designed to hide cameras from poachers. It is impressive. Good colors and texture. I bought the 'pine bark' unit. It has an odor and is outside currently in an attempt to get rid of the human smell. Area X has high temperatures right now A slang name for 'X' could be 'blood, sweat and tears'. I can't take hot gooey weather. I am relieved that the author reports that during the entire time of being in Area X, no persons reported being zapped, experiencing mind speak or other telepathic activity. Good luck waiting for the Wood Apes. And duck when the Hershisers come whizzing in.

I punched out a full reply, attached the pics, and as I was about to hit "submit", my battery died! 😡 Is that bear pic the POW sow? It looks like a mature bear. I hope people don't walk on her! Mine was taken on Knight Island in Prince William Sound. PWS bears tend to be smaller than Southeast bears, but also tend to have longer, more luxuriant furs. I spotted him from the boat after dinner, right after we sat down, popped a coupke beers, and dealt the first cribbage hand. He looked skinny and long legged, like a young bear, but he had a long neck. That confirmed him as a boar, and should have clued me that he was older and bigger than I first thought. I really didn't want to pull my boots on and row ashore for him, but I did because I didn't want my partner to think I wussed out. It was a great stalk! I ended up taking him at @ 25-30 yards. His hide squared out at 6'8" green, and on the wall he's 6'2". I butchered his tail, so probably lost another inch there. Hus skull squares at 19". ADFG aged him by his tooth at 15 years old. The boat-based hunt was perfect! I also caught a 30# halibut, we caught buckets of shrimp that we ate fresh on the boat, and I put two stalks on smaller bears right up to handshake range. We were on the water for nearly a week. I also hunted PIW one year. We were early; the last week of March, so few bears, but the ones we saw were all big boars. One I'm sure approached 8' in size.......between Thorne Bay and Coffman Cove on a logging road. We rented a cabin in Coffman Cove and drove a rented pickup around, hiking up closed logging roads. A boat would have been perfect there!

Very well said. I have been looking at these pics for years , all the while "knowing" it was a bear. Now, I'm kinda blown away that I would believe it to be a chimp, however, that's where the evidence has taken me.

I don't know what it is. I still say it's most likely a young sow bear, primarily because it's good bear habitat and there was a pic from that camera of two cubs minutes before. Ultimately, it really doesn't matter. It doesn't move the ball. Moreover, the density of reports in that area isn't high like areas in Washington, British Columbia, California, and Oregon, so to spend effort there offers a low yield return.

I don’t think it looks like a Bigfoot. But I’ve never seen a Bigfoot either. If I saw a baby Sasquatch crawling around on the ground? Would I even recognize what I was looking at? Probably not. If I was able to see the feet that would be a clincher. I think it looks like a Chimp. With the caveat I don’t know what a young Bigfoot should look like. Or what it’s behaviors are.

Not my words, not your words. This was obtained through my poor investigative skills in mere moments. No need to sit on your duff and listen to an hour video narrative with a single pic of a woman in Egypt to put you to sleep. Spend a few moments, though, and read this very slowly and carefully, please: https://en.m.wikinews.org/wiki/Hunter_says_he_caught_'Bigfoot'_on_camera Sources:

Your supposed sources are 100% BFRO, and there are no other reliable, credible sources of data for that area. I've repeatedly reviewed your references and failed to find the things you've described because they weren't there. There was not an eyewitness at the Jacobs photo site. Period. You have no published name of that person, no third person reporting such, and no published description of that sighting by the eyewitness. You've even gone as far as to write that a mile away should be good enough, and without citing the source or description of the sighting a mile away. You've been caught using extremely poor descriptions of the situation. I think you've clearly made things up in your mind, or are being purposely deceptive in your writing in order to bolster your poor claims.

It's difficult to believe that they've gotten five close range shooting situations and have no dna from dripped blood to show for it. It's also remarkable that they don't even have to search for the creatures. If true, it's just a matter of time before they eventually get dna. Even if the creatures spirit away dead carcasses, there's no way I'll accept a storyline where the creatures perform a biological scrubbing like police after a murder scene. Those folks sure have the setup: private land, lots of resident sasquatches with attitudes, excellent night optics on excellent weapons, cabins, etc. That semi-auto 12 gauge with the 9-round magazine sure makes me curious. My Remington 11-87 has a 7 round magazine (and 20" barrel), and I thought that was the biggest available. I consider that shotgun to be a pretty powerful weapon. Any target within 50 yards is in deep trouble. The "bait" got quite the wake-up alarm!

And shorter limbs…

You could be right. I’m no scientist but I can say with confidence I have investigated this sighting more than anyone here just by reading the comments. I’ve talked to the Pennsylvania Game Commission about it on July 7. They failed to get a photo like it after 15 years of sick bear photos. They still say it is trying to relieve irritation from the mange mite rubbing its head on the ground when so many bear proponents try to say the face is on the side? That’s why I started this thread to see if somebody could find a bear that looks like the photo on the right. Bear simply have longer torsos.

The Kilo incident of 2013 had a shooter with a thermal scoped 30-06 that attempted a head shot. The round was deflected by foliage. The bait was a snoring human in a tent.

There is a wealth of information in this Michael Mayes book. Much more is available in NAWAC's Ouachita Project Monograph, NAWAC pdcasts and news releases, and NAWAC newsletters. I know of no other organization that approaches the careful documentation and ready release of information that NAWAC provides (and that analysis includes THE BIG ONE). For anyone interested attached is a jpg (flat file to guard against imbedded info) of a word file that addresses the five failed NAWAC attempts to collect a wood ape specimen (the file also sheds some light on "hard" versus "soft" wood ape sightings and the fact that only 5 attempts have been made in 50,000+ man hours of trying).
