New to an area...what do you look for?


Recommended Posts

Posted

If you relocated, or are vacationing or visiting a new area, how do decide where to go for sasquatching?

 

The first thing I would do is a quick search of the BFRO sightings in the general area. Then, I would do a very detailed search of the BFF database. It's a valuable resource. Once I had a geographic area in mind, I would focus on the forests in that region.

 

Over the years, I've had a few features that draw me to certain areas more so than others:

 

1) Focusing on water sources has been my main criteria for an area

2) Carefully studying topo maps looking for very specific terrain features near those water sources

3) Choosing a location that is off trail and not easy to get to. Preferably difficult.

 

If I were in a new area that was always wet, or had an abundance of water access, my approach would focus on terrain features and difficulty of access. 

 

Your approach?

any notable success? sounds like a good strategy. One location I have had multiple "happenings" at is remote and a real bitch to get to. The other is an easy drive in and requires no further walking.
