Well walking on the moon took NASA to get us there. Just the Apollo program alone cost the US 25 BILLION dollars. Unfortunately we are not NASA. So our budget is pretty slim. A bullet is still the cheapest most expedient way to procure a type specimen. And even if we go into this with non lethal methods and good intentions? This is a dangerous creature…. it may have to be put down because we cannot control it. We may even lose people in this endeavor. If I was to volunteer into a mission like this with a goal of capture? The caveat would be that the expedition would have an armed back up and that if the creature was escaping the net or the pit or whatever that it would be shot. No questions asked. Its probably going to hold a big grudge with this live capture attempt. And if the attempt fails?

Hey all, Anyone ever driven the so-called "Bigfoot Hwy", Oregon 224? I'm considering driving it one of these days, soon, on an overnight loop drive. Suggestions are welcomed, and if you have any experiences, please share. Is Joe Beelart around? I can't find my book, which seems really unfortunate. Any tips?

As I said it would be *slightly* more expensive than a loaner excavator. They had hand held FLIR decades ago? Or the animal is running from the giant bird in the sky chasing them… which at one time was a real thing that ate you. Ok, so this has been tried. Is there an after action report? The Tiger pit is cheaper, less moving parts, operates via gravity and doesn’t include the FAA, USFW, and probably 10 other agencies. The other method was perfected in the Vietnam war and was highly effective at removing Charlie from the AO. Obviously they skipped the net gun in favor of hard lead and steel. It’s also gonna be probably a 2000 bucks per hour just to get started.

There have been many colorful posts on C&R. Intermediate the catch and release is the problematic study phase. In lieu of a baby thermometer, I recommend a non-contact infrared heat gun. The 'hole' scenario is a point location and there are many points to guess at. You need to consider the 'Goldilocks factor: too shallow, too deep, just right'. The water table may spank you big time. There is a factoid about digging a hole: " it is the only job that you will have where you start out at the top". I am surprised that caves / abandoned mines / lava tubes were not suggested. Used by humans and animals for millions of years. Digging not required ( lets Norseman off the hook ). I avoid caves and abandoned mines for safety reasons but unfortunately, a fungus is among us. The cave approach is shut down due to bat WNS. The White Nose Syndrome in Washington State has the fungus in 10 counties and 5 counties have confirmed cases of WNS in bats. Check with your fish & wildlife dept. to determine the status of your caves. Examine the percentages. Number of Sasquatch that have fallen into holes. Number of Sasquatch that visit campsites and leave hand prints, crush tents, sniff tents, steal food / dump out coolers, make noises, watch campfires, reach through open portals of vehicles and generally scare the campers. In campsite mode, one can use a non-contact IR heat gun from the confines of your tent /blind / vehicle for your heat studies. Funny how they have to go where humans are to spy on us and teach the young ones about human behavior and to avoid us.

Just south of the Olympic NP. On private timber ground. Have numerous watchers on clear cuts, with the helo and crew staged close by. If they get the call? Fly out and try to intercept?

Hello, my name is Jeremiah from the Bigfoot Society podcast. I am based out of Earlham.

Hi CL60, I’m actually from southeast Iowa born and raised. We live in a pretty rural area along the Skunk River (sexy name, right?). I had what I believe to be an “ultrasound event” in Colorado a few years back. And something that happened to the wife and I here that may or may not have been squatch related so I’ve not posted about it but it was definitely “odd”. I definitely keep my head on a swivel when driving down here, helps with preventing deer to vehicle contact as well!
