Getting to a point where I am happy with my field truck. I built a bunk in the back and added: 1 200 watts of Solar 2 Diesel heater with the exhaust routed through the bed and a CO sensor 3 Removable Propane shower unit 4 Roof rack 5 Side lighting 6 Interior Fan I am running deep cycle batteries and will eventually switch to lithium. Was able to do a shake down run this past weekend and all went well with it.

I think we should catch a Bigfoot, study it for a few days, then release it. That seems like the best, most Humane way to solve this mystery. If some Scientist(s) demand 2 bodies on slabs then (with all due respect), f that. I hope this can be an open discussion about the challenges of capturing and releasing a Bigfoot, the Pros and Cons, etc. (If we get a troll pretending to be worried about some clown in a suit being captured by mistake; I'm pretty sure they would be dispatched soon enough.) lol

You'd be shocked to know how few hunters know that.......guides included.

You misunderstood what I said. A one man operation has a chance of putting body parts on a slab. It will take an organization to bring one out alive. Washington outlawed hound hunting for Cougars. Which is a scalpel approach. Is it a male or female or a cub in the tree? Should we harvest it or not? Instead they started selling a “big game package” to boot hunters. The chances of a boot hunter encountering a Cougar are low. But when you put a Cougar tag in the pocket of tens of thousands of hunters? Cougars get killed. And then they complain it was a female or whatever…. It’s a blunt axe approach to management. But the same concept applies to Sasquatch. X amount of sightings per year are missed opportunities. But at some point the stars may align. And we don’t need a complete body to prove to science something is out there. Animals are proven all the time with the bush meat trade.

Howdy all, I am a scientist by trade and have always enjoyed the romance of the possibility of Bigfoot. I am intrigued by the evidence of their existence and am interested in learning more. As an aside I have a lot of outdoor experience in Oregon. I live rurally on 300 Ac connected to timberland so my nearest neighbor is 1 mile away as the crown flies for the past decade. I am used to seeing wildlife such as deer/elk/bear/mountain lions/bobcat etc… and have hunted the same for the past 20 years. Anyway, just looking to learn about high quality evidence of its existence.

Their fast twitch muscle combined with excessive testosterone levels are a big part of why they are so dominate. Add in the sagittal crest that increases their jaw strength and they are extremely deadly animals. Regarding BF, We do not have any verified evidence of strength or agility. It’s all up in the air. If we take a cumulative of reports they have every and any advantage. Speed, strength, intelligence, etc. I’d venture a guess only one these or 1.5 is true. We are not dealing with a super being as some reports would imply. If we were, then most likely humans would not be dominate. At worse BF would be more well known and acknowledged. Super species would stand out in a more obvious way. Just my opinion of course.

Not some “scientist”…. All of science demands two type specimens for an extant classification of a species. Including humans… There is no getting around this! And capturing one and studying it for a few days and releasing is? Would not change that scientific requirement. With that out of the way. They seem too smart to walk into a cage unlike a Bear. So what is left in thick forests of the PAC NW is a tranquilizer gun. Co2 powered dart gun. With a big projectile and limited range. A helicopter on stand by would be nice. Just cut back some trees, send in a penetrator line and a basket and roll the big bugger in, strap him down and gone! The trick is how much tranquilizer to load into the dart. Too much and we would kill it. Not enough and you’re gonna get your arms ripped off and beaten to death with them…..not good. And of course shooting a dart that can be deflected by brush and limbs at 50 feet may get dicey as well. You’re gonna have to get close, much closer than a rifle, and then thread that dart through the under story to probably a very agitated target. Much like archery hunting. You best have some rifles as back up. If you hit this thing and the dart doesn’t have the desired effect? 50 feet is like nothing in a charge. Ultimately your gesture is noble. But you’re taking unnecessary risks to save a life that probably has to be sacrificed at some point anyhow. Dr. Mayor supplied two living pocket Lemurs to science as type specimens. It’s not common. But these pocket Lemurs in order to capture them? They would go out at night, shine flashlights in the bushes, locate eye shine and bend the bush over and pluck the Lemur from the branch…..easy. You’re not going to do this with a Sasquatch. Even if there was a Sasquatch baby in a tree you could push over. Mommy and Daddy are right there somewhere ready to rearrange your body parts. And I’ve been in a tree with a Bear cub while momma was below wanting me dead in the worst possible way. Not fun. A gun in one hand pointed at mom and with the other hand trying to shoo baby boo down the bole of the tree!😳 It’s not like I haven’t thought of this. I have. Absolutely I have. It’s complex, and it’s not a job for one man. You would need a team and funding. A lone man can shoot a Sasquatch, walk up and cut off a hand and foot in a matter of minutes and be GONE. Science could take millions of DNA samples from one hand and one foot. Mark the location and if science wants the rest? Let them go up there and deal with it! This unfortunately is the most field expedient way to solving the mystery. Helicopters, biologists, tranq guns, field labs and all the rest? That comes after…. Science is just not going to move on this until it has something concrete, something that cannot be HOAXED. ✌🏻

Hello from Atlanta. Do alot of hiking both in the US and Internationally and have always been intrigued by Bigfoot stories, sightings, etc. Found this forum through BFRO and was curious.

We should be able to bait one somehow.

It would seem they're not strong enough to knock over a papaya tree with any ease! I guess that the trouble with being just a 400lb ape instead of an 800-1000 lb relic hominid!
