How To Photograph Sasquatch

This post goes along with my previous post about a new view of Sasquatch as a result of an expedition to the Eastern Sierra with Woodrat. The reader is encouraged to read this post first before proceeding beyond this point.

I've previously discussed the reason I think we have no photos of Bigfoot is we've vastly underestimated their intelligence and capabilities. They've demonstrated that for the last 50 plus years they're smarter than we are with our technology and they're right up to now.

Then how do we get photos of them if they dodge our cameras, vandalize equipment and disconnect plugs? We need to convince them we mean no harm and we need to show them what we are doing with the photos we are trying to take.

This is a tall order and I have a methodology to see if it will work. If it doesn't then we'll have to rethink the problem and try another method.

I suggest that first researchers find an area where they are fairly certain the species is active in. Our previously listed report has a methodology to accomplish this and the user is referred again to my previous blog post.

Next you should begin baiting areas where you believe the species is moving through. This could include game trails, watering spots, creeks or rivers, berry or edible plant locations, areas around rural residences or farms, locations where nests may have been observed or witness report encounter locations.

You should check back and look to see if the bait has been taken by your quarry. If so, then repeat the baiting and try leaving some photos or drawings of Sasquatch from different sources. These could include Messing With Sasquatch stills from the videos, BFRO drawings by Sybil and other artists, Patty from P & G frame 352 or any other reasonable representation of the species.

Your photos should include some pictures of game cam or regular cameras and people in your group of researchers installing or removing your camera equipment. The idea is to get them used to the technology of cameras and why we use them.

You can then try leaving your cameras pointed toward the bait and see if the species can make the connection between the photos you leave out and the cameras. I specifically suggest you place them along side routes of travel but not aimed directly at where they must go. This technique should reduce any chance they may view your efforts as deliberately harmful or intimidating.

Based on our research in the Eastern Sierra it now appears the species can distinguish between different humans and their intentions for being in the woods. We've discovered that while we are tolerated as curious interlopers others such hunters and/or loggers tend to draw intimidating behaviors from the species.

This could be a significant development in Bigfoot research and could lead to a further understanding of the behavior of the species.

We will be trying this ourselves next year during the summer and fall months. It doesn't appear to require much more effort than has already been expended in other efforts and resulting in zero. Those researchers in Texas and down South will have the first opportunity to try this as they have more access to their woods and rural areas during late fall and winter months.

This idea for a new methodology isn't mine alone. Credit must be shared with Woodrat, Professors Meldrum and Coleman, Matt Moneymaker, Craig Woolheater, Daryl Colyer, Mike Rugg, BB, Kathy Strain, Brandon Keil, Bill Brewer and several other member of the Bigfoot Community.

These ideas are presented for your consideration and action. It's not my intent to dictate to anyone how to get photos of the species but rather to suggest a different path and the reasons for it. I would suggest that you give it a try and if it works let us know. It would be great to have a methodology of getting photos of the species that most researchers could use.

The reader should remember that a couple of good photos of a Sasquatch will have very limited impact in the long run for the species. However, a reproducible methodology of obtaining photos of the species will very quickly get the attention of the scientific community. Exactly how they will respond may not be predictable given the amount of hoaxing that has occurred. My best,
