Guest Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Helicopters aren't much good with the noise and tree cover.
Guest Tontar Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 The noise of an airborne helicopter is not that bad compared to the noise they typically make while stomping around in the forest, banging on trees, yelling at one another for talking while they are listening to squatch screams, or making their own screams. Not only that, with the FLIR technology being what it is, they ought to be able to spot a squatch from miles away without ever annoying them. After all, the squatches they are looking for seem to thrive on human activity, raves, baboons being brought into the forest, picnics, scouts, screaming, any kind of noise. If they're going to spring for the helicopter costs, which they always do each episode, they ought to use them for searching for the beasts instead of just for filming. That is, if the producers are actually serious about the search.
Guest Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) They have used a real good FLIR system and were quietly hidden inside, but they only produced some nice wildlife shots. I think they are very serious and would like nothing more than to find Bigfoot. The already high ratings would soar. Edited January 16, 2013 by Kerry
Guest Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 They are serious about ratings and that's about it. They are definitely not interested in any kind of science.
Guest Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Next episode looks like it's going to be coming from my home state of Colorader. Yippy, can't wait. Better bring the wollies, it has been obnoxiously cold of late here.
Guest reelback Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I love the Australia show but it wouldn't be interesting if they stay in these places. They need to keep moving and exploring all the sightings as they have. What good would it be to waste show time sitting in the woods for days? Variety by going to different places is much better. So you believe its more interesting to find nothing and hop to the next spot? That's odd. I happen to think that if they spend an extra 2 or 3 days in each spot and invested in some technology and new tactics, they'd have more evidence than they do now. It's gotten so that it is so insulting to watch, it's the crazy quotes that make us laugh that manages to keep the minimal attention we give it.Funny thing, they always manage to hire helicopters to film them walking or driving ORV's, but they never seem to use them to search for the bigfeets! I agree, the cutaway commentary is pretty useless. Bobo is actually a pretty smart guy, but having him on camera with that hat on and talking slow and basically repeating himself "I think he saw a squatch" makes him look dumb.

Why not invest in a drone to survey multiple miles at a time?
Guest Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 So, Would it be so bad if they actually caught a Thermal hit? NV Hit.... Or ultimately found The Big guy... "If he's out there" Would that make the show pointless thereafter? I would accept a therm hit from a guy in a suit at this point.
Martin Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 They have used a real good FLIR system and were quietly hidden inside, but they only produced some nice wildlife shots. I think they are very serious and would like nothing more than to find Bigfoot. The already high ratings would soar. Bobo and Raene were hidden inside the FLIR bus with Matt and Cliff zipping around on an electric ATV in the search area. It's like a circus every time these guys go into the woods. Bobo with his Red Rider BB gun? Disco Balls? etc
WV FOOTER Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) I think actual proof, (thermal, sighting, anything), would help the show. The route they are taking now is going to lead to a dead end. Not everyone is a vegetarian, some people like a little meat once in a while. I picture a Bigfoot laying on. his back grabbing his gut in laughter when Ranae does one of her calls. Edited January 16, 2013 by WV FOOTER
Guest Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I hope they investigate the Stacey Brown FLIR footage. I would love to see the actual location and a recreation of that.

"If he's out there" Would that make the show pointless thereafter? I would accept a therm hit from a guy in a suit at this point. Given that the vast majority of stuff on Animal Planet relates to animals known to exist, "Finding Bigfoot" would only be the beginning. Shoot, in two years It could be a quarter of their programming: Following Bigfoot Finding More Bigfoot Bigfoot Doctor Living With Bigfoot: The Habituators An American Bigfoot Family Big Brother Bigfoot Survivor: Bigfoot We'll work out the royalty details later. For now: you're welcome.
GuyInIndiana Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Good to see them consistant. Tonight's episode proved once again that speculation and generalization about speculation is the leading factor in concluding what IS and isn't accepted bigfoot behavior, and what IS and isn't a BF encounter.
Guest Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) The father/daughter site looked rather open & possibly residential. There were allot of roads in the background.... So... Whatever... The other 2 were questionable @ best. No wildlife or Bigfoot is going near that MM haircut. Bobo's so-called A-game sounds no different Than his B,C,D, game. Ranae still seems to be the only Sane party member. As far as the preview of next week's show... Sounds like a red fox "vixen scream" that they'll likely misidentify for Bigfoot. In other words..... More of the same. Edited January 21, 2013 by kbhunter
Guest Ishcabibble Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Well, another wasted hour of my life, but at least I got some entertainment from listening to all the inappropriate, and borderline criminal, comments from the "team".....I'd like to meet the TV producer that thought using Girl Scouts as "bait" was a good idea. And yet I keep watching <shakes head>
