Well, here we are. My first blog. I just finished watching Monster Quest on the History channel. I've noticed lately that they seem to be having trouble finding any evidence of this elusive creature. Personally, I'm starting to have doubts about the methods of Bigfoot hunters.
First of all, in my life I've always been told, especially in my studies, that you are not to assume just anything. Where does this come in? Well, people seem to just assume that Bigfoot is an ape, or even a human-ape hybrid. Well, how do we know? The scent chips with the ape pheromones don't seem to work, if anything they deter the creature. Maybe that means Bigfoot is not an ape, and he's certainly not human.
Second, the Bigfoot hunters, (trackers, enthusiasts, whatever you may call them), seem to only try the same things, like call-blasting and camera-traps. These seem to work sometimes, but if Sasquatch is the semi-intelligent creature most think he is, wouldn't you think it would get wise to this? Just asking. Seriously, though, it seems like the people that are trying to find Bigfoot seem to be running out of ideas.
Maybe Bigfoot trackers should try something a little different, like reenacting some eyewitness situations, only with cameras and video monitors set up. They could try going into an area known to have a lot of encounters and camp there like normal people (like the situations of some eyewitnesses), only have a video camera on top of their tent and a couple of good-quality digital cameras on hand. . . maybe then they'll catch a glimpse of something.
The thing is, animals can be very cautious, even curious ones, of unknown things in their environment. So, hanging shiny disks and pheromone chips in trees and bait in the middle of all of it may only scare a Sasquatch away. . . in fact, there's probably a small group of Bigfoot out there somewhere that just ran into a bait site and are thinking, "No! Herold, it's a trap!".
