How to Hunt Bigfoot



In this article I got from Nytimes.com it explains how Bigfoot hunters track a Bigfoot with the techniques that they have learned over time, and what kind of ways they call out a Bigfoot by hearing the call the Bigfoot makes at night when the investigators are out tracking Bigfoot. Also how they react to the sighting of Bigfoot for the first time captured on a night vision camera. I think that the "How to Hunt Bigfoot" is very interesting, the narrator and others are in a group of investigator called B.F.R.O, which stands for Bigfoot Field Research Organization. The article explains how it is to be in the group and anyone can join, it cost around $300-500 dollars not including airfare, camping equipment, and food. It also talks about what qualifications you should have to become a member, and it gives a description on what kind of work that will take place. And what to expect while you are out in the woods at night, the investigators travel out at night until dawn to track Bigfoot and the team are split in to two’s. They don’t use flash lights, because they have a theory that Bigfoot can see the light and relocate itself to a different location away from the team. So the teams that are spilt up into twos walk around in pitch black only using the light from the moon and their night vision equipment. The author also shares how she felt when she saw her very first sighting. She was so terrified she was shaking after the expedition and didn't want to look through the night vision again. They give good details on how it is to search for Bigfoot and, what techniques they use to, find a Bigfoot. You can see the videos and read more by clicking the link posted and visiting the animal planet website.

  1. I like how there is a whole organization have goes toward finding/hunting big foot. They photo you have up was what made me want to read this article and I must say it is a pretty funny photo, someone making it seem as if big foot is as big as a building. If he was that big he would have no place to hide, I find it very creative. Awesome how people will spend 300-500 dollars to join this organization. Cant they see this is a money scam, a pretty lame one at that. I almost want to join and see for myself the "Big foot". So is there more then one big foot or is there just the one, I thought there was only one big foot but if these people are so sure that you will have a sighting of it, then that means there implying there is more then one out there. Do we mistake bears for Big foot? because that lady could have totally seem a bear, it was at night time so not much to go on with that even with night vision. I guess you just got to let people do there thing with finding big foot. Also are they interested with catching this creature or just looking at it. Because it seems like you could kill it, so why dont they bring home more then just a blurry photo back with them. Its all very sneaky stuff.

  2. Hello Emily once again sorry I did not reply to your comment on time, But the photo I have up is pretty non-realistic, but it was what they had on the article and it is pretty funny. Because Bigfoot is huge in this picture and if he were that big he would have no where to hide. :D And the organization does seem like a big scam because there is no real proof as of today that bigfoot is really real, yet people still join maybe for the excitement that they might find Bigfoot and want to be there to see for themselves. I personally would want to join to but not at that price!. Haha, and I think there is really more then one Bigfoot out there if they are real, because within my research I have read that Bigfoot has been seen in many places more than once. Even a baby Bigfoot was supposedly seen to a few miles outside of New York, And I think some people may mistaken bears for Bigfoot as well because bears can walk up right on their Hine legs for a few steps. But not very long of course, and the lady may have just seen a bear but the researcher probably could not tell because the video of course must be shaky and lasted only for a few seconds, before the lady ran off. And it does seem kind of lame to not just kill the beast right then and there but I think there may be a reason why they do not kill it, maybe for scientific study?
