Where do we find such men?

(or wives to clean the tents)

We find them in the third-growth wilds of Minnesota; grim-faced, steel-eyed, gritty and determined car-campers waiting for the toss of a mediocre candy, or a blue drupe, that indicates the coming of footie.

They will not stop until footie is established, or their wives tell them to knock this **** off and get the **** to work on the honey-do list. Like pronto.

I thought it was impossible to kill Bigfoot. Isn't that the explanation for no Bigfoot bits in the historical record, or have I missed something?

It's hard to keep up with the latest Bigfoot excuses research.

We are just too stupid to bag one, and the Native Americans could have bagged one, but they revered the Footies.

We will be carrying firearms for protection (handguns) only, as for legal issues project wise we are protected by a state defined scientific project clause. On the individual level our insurance and such related services has yet to be addressed.

One hopes the insurance will be adequate in all ways and one assumes the related services will cover funeral arrangements.

Yes, I am very aware it is possible that we could find nothing. These creatures are not behind every tree and rock.

Has anyone ever seen a 'state defined scientific project clause'?

How does this give them exemption from handgun laws?

Why would you carry handguns anyway?

Should be carrying combat shotguns with slugs, or a carbine of a decent caliber.

You need something with plenty of power that can be used well in a hurry.

I guess they could carry one of the new big magnum handguns, but few are going to do well with it in a hurry. I doubt they will have any of those, anyway.

They are probably taking some useless handguns that wouldn't even save them from a black bear.

There are less legal problems with long guns.

I think the NAWACKYS have claimed to have upgraded to a larger rifle with thermal optics.
As far as the Bigfoot Blimpies...
Oh Com'on man a group of hard core believers and knowers on a Bigfoot hunt will indeed "find" Bigfoot behind every tree and rock.
Heck I've been out with just one and he thought we were being "followed" and stopped dead in his tracks to identify a tree stump. Of course when your afraid to be in the woods after dark.....maybe one needs to pick a different hobby like you know BLARRRRGING!

I have no idea what that means, and I suspect that's something Nathan and I have in common.

I'm deactivated over at the BFF, but I noticed this in the thread:

"will be in an area with a report history that continues to produce. "

Drew, has anyone asked them why they just don't blanket the area with game cams? Do they really think that a bunch of guys walking through the woods with a double-hulled blimp overhead will be less conspicuous than a bunch of game cams?

The fact that they're not deploying a combination of cameras, hair-catchers, and track plates reveals the BLAARG. They're intentionally eschewing proven methods for identifying individuals in low-density populations. They are either unaware of these methods (illustrating that they have not done even a basic literature search on how to achieve their goal) or they are aware and avoiding them because it will be harder to explain away the lack of bigfoot on cameras, hair catchers, and track plates than it will be to make a TV show out of whatever thermal blob they'll try to pass off as a bigfoot that got away.

Pretending to be scared in the woods is part of the act.

You can't quickly bring a rifle with a thermal sight to bear on a charging footasaurus rex.

You really need one of those big bore double rifles that can put two fat slugs on the target immediately.

A couple of protection guys with 10 gauge coach guns with slugs would probably work.

I have a vision of Meldrum standing on a log like Gandalph - staring down a charging Bigfoot...Book of Mormon in one hand and glowing plaster cast in the other...You shall not pass!
 
Good-n-Plenty in the leaf litter = footie.

Corn pile in the woods (not dogpile on the wabbit) = footie.

Since footie can jump at least 45' from a standing start those guns will be of no use.
 
For what it's worth regarding firearms, I believe that in Glacier National Park they use a combination of rubber bullets, large buckshot and rifled slugs in those rare events with grizzly bears. Don't know the order in which they are loaded or if all members of a ranger group have the same loads. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say they probably haven't had to deal with any rampaging bigfeet.

Yes. I have always thought that the .500 Nitro Express side by side would be ideal for hunting Big, Imaginary Beasts. It can stop a charge from an African Elephant, Cape Buffalo, and Large, imaginary, upright bipedal Gorillamen.

IMO, it's being done this way for massive profit. One or two people will pocket a large amount of money on this project. It would be harder to accomplish that with a trailcam project. This looks too suspicious...

Trail camera cost: $150 each.
Trail camera adjust settings and install in field: $350 each.
Trail cameras needed: 685 units.

Jack O'Connor once wrote about watching a hunting companion shoot a coastal Alaskan grizzly bear with a .30-06 rifle using Remington 180 grain Core-Lokt factory loads. The bullet went through both shoulders of the bear and kicked-up dirt on the far side. Another interesting fact is that rifles shooting the common .338 Winchester Magnum cartridge are the number one choice of professional Alaskan grizzly and brown bear guides for stopping charging bears aggravated by their tenderfoot clients; rifles shooting the .300 Winchester Magnum are the second most popular choice. The point is that exotic rifles, cartridges and bullets are not required.

On the other hand:
A correspondent who has been a big game guide in the far north for 30 years and who has far more experience with bears and shotguns than I wrote to inform me that a 12 gauge shotgun with slugs is an effective weapon for protection against bears, popular with both guides and fish and wildlife officers. To quote from his e-mail, "The 12 gauge with slugs is ideal for crawling through the puckerbush after a big bear, but it's not the best tool for a 150-yard shot at a fleeing bear heading for the thick stuff." He also mentioned in the same e-mail that his favorite guide rifle is a .45-70.

In my only encounter with a brown bear, I carried an 8-weight fly rod. Luckily, I didn't have to use it. For black bear, a 5-weight and Junior Mints.

Do you know what those shiny things are in bear turds? Bear bells.
 
"On the individual level our insurance and such related services has yet to be addressed. "

I'll be happy to underwrite a "Bodily Injury due to Bigfoot" rider on that policy.
