Maybe we can even ignite a State Fish & Wildlife Agency "Spring" so to speak which will undermine the federal government's likely unofficial policy of secrecy.

 

It would be kinda like switching frogs before the water starts to boil I mean, would it be possible that enough people could have a chance to get the upper hand on this thing? That's certainly what I've been promoting. But, of course, it would take people, not just one.

Rene Dahinden's reaction to Jack Lapseritis presenting at an 1989 Sasquatch Symposium should be our example.

Got a refresher on that?

Rupert Matthews, Sasquatch: True-Life Encounters with Legendary Ape-Men, p. 113. 

 

I will see if I can find a video.

Basically, Lapseritis was a charlatan who claimed to simultaneously have telepathic contact with Sasquatch and ET. 

 

I mentioned the honorable Dahinden's reaction to Lapseritis being allowed to present at a Bigfoot conference as an example of how the Bigfoot Community should deal with peddlers of woo infiltrating our ranks.

Ah yes, Rupert, I remember now. Most of the sentiment Lapseritis was promoting had to do more with explaining some of the weirdness associated with Bigfoot in the Eastern part of the country.

Precisely. Which is why most Bigfoot researchers until very recently wouldn't touch Eastern Bigfoot reports with a 40 ft pole.

Well, we're touching them now, by golly

As far as population goes, other than the Sasquatch prints I found in the late 70s, I had numerous encounters at my parents house throughout the late 70s, the 80s and into the early 90s and then nothing. I hunted in 3 areas that were separated by several miles (5 to 10) throughout the early 90s and had numerous encounters and then nothing. This was all in Polk and Lincoln counties of Oregon. The only other ones I had later was in the High Cascades in around 2005 and in Polk county around 2009. I think that the numbers declined in my area dramatically in the 90's. I think they were way more numerous pre 80s than they are now. I have seen no evidence of them in those 3 hunting areas and my parents house since probably 1993 or maybe a year or two later.

Very interesting. Has the human population in the area increased since the 1980s? Or perhaps sub-urban sprawl?

.......Because in order to issue a hunting permit there would need to be Biologists and studies involved........

 

There have been qualified biologists involved in sasquatchery. If one of them would endorse a permit application, it would close that denial avenue for the agencies.

.........We know why. They claim it doesn’t exist. So either we drag one in by the feet and rub their noses in it. Or we go fishing like Huntster and drop it!😉........

 

But killing one before getting permission is literally begging for legal trouble, up to and including a potential murder charge. That's a risk most folks simply can't justify. Salmon fishing is much safer, and successful results are literally guaranteed.

........I guess there is another option. The alien option. Some how some way we get the government to admit that something is roaming N. America’s hinterlands. I won’t hold my breath.

 

The feds seem willing to admit that UFOs are flying circles around them, so I suppose you can try to apply for a permit to shoot a furry alien for them, but I suspect that might be as problematic as the offer to shoot a prehistoric hominid for them.

Been saying that for years now. Even presented the "Some how some way"......way. No takers. If folks won't, or can't, broach the subject with their local officials then a government level focus becomes virtually a non-starter. Or follow the usual pattern of waiting for someone else to do it. Daniel Perez? Peter Byrne? Dr. Meldrum? Any suggestions on the "somehow" part? Anyone?

Same can be said about grabbing a rifle and getting into the woods....it is what it is.

LOL......did Dahinden punch Lapseritis in the nose at the symposium?

LOL! That certainly wouldn't have been out of character for Dahinden. But no, he simply shouted him down and loudly protested as he went up to give his speech.

I found one track way in 1972 in the southern Sierra Nevada, and there have been top quality reports from that area since then. 

 

Over 45 years in southcentral Alaska has produced not a single track find despite an over average amount of time spent in the woods both working and playing. Moreover, there are almost zilch credible reports from this region over the past 30 years.

 

Southeast Alaska is another story altogether........
