Drew Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Do you have any hair catchers placed in areas where they are seen? Just a piece of barbed wire strung at 3'-4' off the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Ah, you nearly got him there, 3' off the ground so it fills up with deer hair and suggesting he put it up himself, so you can say "Wasn't installed by a professional from local 302 of the haircatcher and washroom airfreshener installers union, so results don't count" even if it does get some primate hair.

Cotter Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I'm not so sure there'd be trees big enough in the area, after being a completely barren wasteland of clear-cut forest they may not have grown back enough. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DWA Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Besides which, if anybody involved thinks bigfoot might be real, well that automatically invalidates any results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. if the hair comes back with unknown primate hair, then at least you know you are in the right place. You put it at 5' and your liable to kill some lost hiker or something.

Guest Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Well your plan to kill lost hikers needs modification, they need to run into it, hard, so, flashbang in the bushes 20ft from it? But I wasn't realizing you meant to string it across the trail, thought you meant to dangle lengths of it... I guess if across the trail you could mark it with trail tape flags. Could play a double bluff game here, wood apes might recognise barbed wire as something humans put around something they don't want critters to mess with, like crops, livestock, so could fence off an area with a trail cam in it... reverse psychology...

BobbyO Posted September 26, 2013 SSR Team Share Posted September 26, 2013 With regards to baiting, I thnk it's pretty clear that the humans just being there is all the bait that is needed. Keep going Bipto ( and crew ), keep going.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1980squatch Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I believe that the NAWAC is actually engaging a troop in area X. Having said that, man is this whole situation strange. This BF troop is dumb enough to continue to engage these folks for years and somehow smart enough (and yes, lucky enough) to not get killed. It must be a source of anxiety to NAWAC that on any given day, old gray could utter a commanding grunt and the whole group moves a few ridges over and it all ends. Back to hunting for scattered chances of activity over 100,000 square miles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DWA Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 This isn't really that strange. It's similar to activity reported for known primates (chimps and gorillas particularly). Add in the caution factor: these guys don't want to accidentally plug a human, and this looks more like one than, say, a deer bear or cow. Deciding whether to take advantage of a fleeting opp for a shot is, essentially, a combat situation, and when rules of engagement strongly counteract shooting one's own kind by accident, the tendency will be not to shoot. I'd say these animals are being what one would expect: maybe smarter, definitely not dumber, than the other ones out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I am missing which part of it is similar to chimp and gorilla behavior? It's not the aversion to game cams, it's not the ability to avoid bullets, it can't be the repeated coordinated missile assaults on the cabin, it can't be the part where they live and survive in Oklahoma hardwood forests. I am just not seeing the parallels. Can you be more specific? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
