From that alone, one is inclined to think you have camped with me before.

'Scientific' Sasquatch researcher is whining because anyone can post a Sasquatch video on the web!
Fuzzy films on Web hurt our cause

I don't see how?
Either the video is real or its not.
If its not, then its merely another amongst myriad hoaxes.
If its real, then quote-unquote Scientific observation can learn from the video..



from the article:

But John Bindernagel, a biologist and the author of the book North America's Great Ape: the Sasquatch, is concerned that the ability to post videos by anyone claiming to have footage of a Sasquatch will damage efforts to do genuine scientific research into the phenomenon.

Hopefully we can snap a digital shot or film on this ellusive beast sometime on another tracking trip in late spring or summer when the weather is better...

Believe!!

And who pray tell is going to be the "authority" who decides who can put up videos of "legitimate" Sasquatch videos?

Sounds to me like the Sasquatch calling the Yeti hirsute...

Don't these people know how to focus,

On my own authority, and by the self-invested power in me, I declare 'we' shall call the shots.

Just received news that an old camping buddy has returned from Antarctica & I have secret plans to infect him with the Sasquatch bug. The buzz is a giant organized group of us will hunt down either Sasquatch or Sasquatch fakers in the great dark forest of Gifford Pinchot (renamed from Columbia National Forest in 1948) . Shhhhhh... I'm hunting wabbit.

Its the string that's holding up the Flying Saucer!

Err, uh, oops! Wrong thread!

There must be *something* holding it up,

To quote Sgt. Shultz, "I see noooothing!"

I listened to Sasquatch guy last night who is new to me; claims to know how to hunt them and has video to prove it. Here's his page:
Sylvanic Index Page

I haven't perused it yet as it crashed last night when he went on the radio, but here's the jist of this guy. He (Todd Standing) is trying to get Canada to legally protect Sasquatch so he can get the forest rangers involved in the search effort. As it is, since they are not recognized to exist, they have no protection. He is planning a similar effort in the US.

I got no strings, to hold me down...

If so, where's the recipe for Sasquatch stew? Does it taste like ostrich or chicken?

In this context, the term 'find' is a better fit than 'hunt', as Todd is opposed to killing them. He does however think he can find a body given adequate resources. Just as with other forest creatures, after death the body doesn't last very long as it it consumed by other critters bones and all, so finding a corpse hinges on being in the right place at the right time.

The string in the photo is a tarp anchor, and for the record all I see in the photo is the same static image of forest I set up watching all night. Just ran across it & thought I'd post it to show I was using scientific methods out ehre.

Winter is hanging on in the mountains and it's snowing up there as I write. We may possibly manage a June expedition this year, and I'm accepting research suggestions for our field work.
