My point is that there's just no evidence that Wally Hersom backs or has backed the TBRC as he backs or has backed the BFRO, the OP, Ketchum... (afaik).
Thanks
Castro. We know about these because the organizations themselves revealed so or a reporter did in association with an article he was doing on them or Hersom.
The TBRC is very slippery, and it has been a while since I was looking into their stuff but they were below some dollar amount that the IRS has for making public reports. The big tax exempt foundations have to make public reports. TBRC doesn't.
But in their materials they were talking about all the trail cams that they got donated, which were of course going to be the gimmick that once and for all proved the existence of bigfoot. I can't remember if I found a direct link to Hersom back then or if I made that inference because he was doing the same thing in the Pacific Northwest.
But regardless - someone donated all of those trail cams according to their own publications. They were supposedly some expensive new generation camera. Personally I am shocked with the failure to capture bigfoot with them because I was certain this would do the trick.
Once you have a deep pocket like that donating all these cameras then you also justify your own expenses as tax-deductable for what amounts to recreation. Your transportation, food, clothes - anything you can pretend is in conjunction with this fake bigfoot tax-exempt organization's alleged projects in Area X.
I would love to have my recreational expenses (oops I mean research) tax deductible. For example, my re-creation of Roger Patterson's trip to Thailand. Airfare, hotel, restaurants, my "field assistants"

etc. All tax deductible. Who else gets to write off their expenses taking their family on vacation to national parks? Have their fancy cameras paid for by someone else. I'll bet they have great bear and deer pictures in frames on the walls of their own homes. I intend to have some pictures from my Thailand Research Expedition too. Those will also not be of bigfoot.
