Great Report.
Definately an area with past observation
Should be a good area to continue study.

Applause sent to all the TBRC and BFRO Investigators involved.

What Robert said. That is indeed a great report.

stanpaw

Awesome report. to the TBRC and BFRO.

I wonder who Cindy Parker writes for?? what paper, or organization? Cool stuff though! I don't understand why every team member did not have a camera handy to film at night! The report is great but frustrating considering they were there to film and document and missed out and that opportunity

An excellent and very promissing report. The question that comes to mind is what kind of money/ grant is it going to take to keep these reserchers in the field sustained long enough to document and to finally answer all the skeptics. I don't believe a body is absolutly neccesary but a sustained scientific expedition would prove the exsistnce of this creature to satisfy even the most skeptical critic. Good job TBRC and BFRO! Hopefully this report might finally bring the resouces neccesary.

If i win the lottery i'll finance y'all.

Ok first off this is not meant to single out your statement
I have seen many make this broad statement too many times.

I can't see anyone making a claim like this if
they have indeed ever been to the field on a night OPERATION (*OP)

Not every member there was assigned Photo taking I'm sure be it lack of experience or equipment.

Frustrating?? Oh yeah it is.
Even with camera in hand odds are in the event of a "chance" observation, you will more than likely be so wrapped up in the occurance
you forget you even have a camera. Even those trained in photography.
Ever had a camera with you and run up on a deer or other wildlife in the woods.
They don't give you much time to shoot the shot.

Keeping a camera handy.
hmmm I've seen people go into the woods with
daypack filled with batteries, food, cameras, emergency supplies,
and the camera in hand or placed within that cluttered backpack. LOL

But during night ops only the NV equipped would work.
That stuff is still realitively expensive and I can understand why
some "did not carry " a camera.

The chance occurance the reporter and investigative team member had
was not a photo opportunity.

The documentation of the occurance after the fact was and appeared
handled intelligently and without conclusions being forcast before it was evaluated.

From my opinion great stuff !

But alas only MHO



Robert

this was my first real field outing.

i enjoyed it immensly.

i got to the basecamp about an hour after everyone left for the field on friday.

i and an older member of TBRC sat up till fairly late feeding a fire and gettin to know each other.

saturday night i went out with everyone.

the first call blast had three very distinct returns from our west-northwest, with obvious coyotes singing from the west.

the returns sounded almost exactly like the ohio call that had just been blasted.

everything else that i personally heard was coyotes except for one wierd call off to our west-southwest that most likely was geese.

i was impressed with the detailed planning and very detailed briefing before going into the field.

those chips STINKKKKKKKKKK!!!!

are they doing it right with this type of approach?

i dunno.

i think its worth trying again.

i know i need to learn how to whisper :doh:


my team can definately attest that shaman snores.

REALLY great stuff SnoJoe!! Thanks for throwing this at us.

That is an excellent write-up to what sounds like a successful and very enjoyable outing... way to go!

ill add that in the three man group i was with, we had two vid cams. had a big red spotlite.

as far as i know we had no actual nite vision gear(i actually do own a night owl that i havnt seen in over a year, YARGHHHHH)

we had parabolic mike and were recording.

some guys had cams with niteshot. i looked at one really spiffy gen III attached to a vid cam(way awesome). someone had nite goggles. proly a lot more gear i didnt see, cause i only saw the two guys with me once we split up.

one of the things i think i said in camp this weekend was something to the effect of, "wow, this is awesome being surrounded by people who DONT think im insane".

i was also impressed by those gharmin GPS gizmos. had no idea they could do all that stuff.

Shaman if that was Geno's rig ..... it is truly awesome.
They will capture something with that equipment.
Just gotta be in the right place at the right time.
I wish all researchers had his setup including myself.

Glad you got to partake.

Robert

yessir, it WAS ginos rig.

very small gizmo and way dang clear.

we were back at the trucks, all was done and a bunch was down th road pokin around and gino showed it to me.

man, id love to get something like that!!!!!

I hope I can get some members from TBRC to occumpany me on my venture sometime in the late Spring or perhaps early Summer.

What a great write-up! Sounds like a very enjoyable time. Is that article Cindy wrote, the exact article she wrote for the paper?

Great report. That place is pretty spooky at night. I spend a lot of time up there hunting and fishing. Only on a few rare occasions have I observed something that I might attribute to Bigfoot. Considering this, I think it may well be that the call-blasting and scent chips contributed to luring the beast into the area. These guys take their research and stealth seriously. I hope to be invited back with them sometime, although I do know that not everyone who wants to go can be invited. Shaman, glad you got to go. Pretty fearless bunch. Did the recordings render anything noteworthy?
Thanks,
BSF

Edit: Corrected typo

i too just read the expedition report on the texas bigfoot research center website. wow they did find alot of sasquatch evidence & actvivity. i hope they keep us posted etc. bill green

Because of a few typos, my guess would be that the write-up was provided to Craig but that it's not necessarily what was sent to her editor.

This is an excellent report and a well organized effort. Keep up the good work and your efforts will produce more results.

I, for one, can vouch for being caught up in the moment.
My wife and I went to the beach one day, and while we were there, there were dolphins in the surf. My wife has always been a dolphin freak, and she wanted me to get in there and snap a picture for her.
So I wade out to chest deep water, being careful not to get the camera wet. Right then, right in front of me (and I mean like 6 feet) this dolphin pops it's head out of the water with a fish sticking out of it's mouth, and for about 2 seconds, looks at me. It was the best photo op ever, but I was so amazed by this, I didn't even hear my wife screaming on the shore for me to take a picture. Completely forgot about the camera.
You never know how you will react, even with planning and being prepared, when an event actually occurs.

Yes, I can say Shaman DOES indeed snore ! Took us 30 minutes to wake him up. , enjoyed working with you Shaman, hope we can do it again sometime. Was most definitely a great outing, hopefully more to come. , I do need to add that this was my first outting with the guys and gals of the TBRC, was throughly impressed with every aspect of the expedition, Two to everyone in that organization.

Is this Class 'A' or 'B' ?
Did they get any return calls on tape ?
I see the sketch is rather vague & without detail. Any print casts ? Hair ? Stool ?
ANYTHING ?

hi louisanabigfoot good evening i would like to hear more about your sasquatch encounter. please email me billgreenbg@aol.com. im glad to hear you had great time on the bigfoot expedition. thanks bill green ct sasquatch researcher. please keep in touch ok..

Is this Class 'A' or 'B' ? The encounter would be an "A" Class sighting.
Did they get any return calls on tape ? The digital discs to my knowledge are stilling being reviewed, over 12 hours over recording with several different recorders,this also included video recorders of audio, so it may take some time to go through. I'm not the one reviewing those.
I see the sketch is rather vague & without detail. I drew the sketch and that was basically all they saw, was just at the limits of the headlights, so not much detail to report other than what is there in the drawing. This was drawn under the direction of the witnesses.
Any print casts ? Hair ? Stool ?
ANYTHING ? It definately wasn't for the lack of looking or trying. Weather did hamper alot of the daylight hours, but nothing to note as far as hair, stool . What tracks were found weren't castable, I believe someone did take some photos, but I wasn't with them, we had several teams out during the course of the weekend. Hope these answered what you needed.

all I can say is...Spring is WAY do dang far away!
Great job.

hi louisana bigfoot thanks for emailing me your encounter. nightwing your right that sounds like they did have a wonderful bigfoot expedition. i hope they keep us updated though. bill green

Great report! Having met Gino, he sure seems like the guy who can "get er done"! I feel that these people will get something with that equipment. They surely are dedicated to the cause.

hi jay any new sightings or activity in your state about sasquatch. im just wondering. bill green

That was my thinking too, she probably wrote up that synopsis for the researchers. I too caught the few typos in the writeup. I would be interested in seeing the article she wrote for the paper. Does anyone know what paper she works for? Or, where we can find the article she had printed in the paper?

Thanks.

Actually Bill, there are some new reports at the BFRO from Arkansas that have been posted recently. The Arkansas team is doing a good job of getting reports up.

Gotta love that Arkansas team!

Whoopsie....double posted....not that they aren't good enough to say it twice!

hi arsquatch & jay thanks for your replys to me. im realy looking forward of what the arkansas bfro team comes up with new sightings i hope photos of the sasquatch creatures are included in them etc. thanks bill green connecticut sasquatch researcher.

Bill, I don't have any pictures of any sasquatch. Those things are really camera shy, but I am working with another investigator on a report where a witness has pointed out some artwork that is a match to what he saw one night. I have the artist's permission to add that artwork to the report and that is in the works right now. I will let you know when that is ready to be viewed.

Thanks for your interest Bill.

Teresa

I would love to see it too, Arsquatch. I tried to work with a member here on a drawing, but I have absolutely no experience (or talent) in either art or describing facial features. It is frustrating not to be able to get at least a drawing down after you have seen one (BF).
BSF

BFRO liberty County TX Report Link to an interesting sighting a little to the east of the area of operation described in this thread. Seems like SOMETHING large and scary (and foul-smelling) travels the corridor between the Trinity and San Jacinto rivers.

BSF

hi arsquatch thanks for the reply again. im looking forward on seeing the bigfoot drawing & the sighting. yeah i guess your right sasquatch creatures are camera shy. bill green

Bill and BSF....one of these days.......somebody is going to be in the right place at the right time and still have the presence of mind to focus a camera and shoot a really good picture. Of course they'll probably spend the next twenty years trying to prove it isn't Bob H in a suit.

A most entertaining evening. This story seems to lend some credence to my theory of satellite observers outside the main camp stand the best chance of an encouter. If you have the courage to take a tree or ground stand some distance from the main camp while the calling is going on,a 1000 lb 8 foot tall primate just may pass by on his/her way to see what all the comotion is about.

No, I am not volunteering for the job.

we were set up in listening posts around the blasting area.

i would have preferred to have goggles or my poor missing nite owl.

im pretty sure we would have picked up anything moving close to us in time to get the cams up and hit it with the big red spotlite we had.

uhhhhh...that is, till i fell asleep.

ill be doin some solo stuff if i cant interest anyone else in th houston area, not near as well equipted as the group was on this outing, but one does th best one can.

I've always thought that was an excellent idea too. Instead of waiting for it to come all the way in to the blasting site, just stay back a ways..but, like you..I'd want someone else out there with me!

Most excellent report! My hat would be off to these researchers if I had one. Texas is sounding more and more like a true hot spot -- and one that's apparently been "hot" for some time.

I WANNA GO

I'm just wondering why with the Garmin Rino 120s they had that no one could use them to mark the coordinates of the track. The 120s would lead you back to the exact location.

Just a thought...

The team that found the track was using a Rino borrowed from another group member. They were not well versed in all of the features of the unit. Our primary concern was radio contact for all teams. The units also allowed a real-time location position for all teams in the field.

that must be very frustrating - it certainly is for me


I would wonder what the point of borrowing a GPS unit is if you can't carry out the simplest of operations such as reading and writing down the co-ordinates.

This is not intended as a criticism of tbrc - far from it, but in general, I wonder how many researchers actually walk very far from their vehicles, and how well versed they are in the use of compasses, maps and GPS units.

I thought I was very well versed in map/compass navigation, and went on a simple one day course with my brother a few years ago - I was very suprised at how much I learned in one day.

Everyone should go on a short course, and shouldn't have to rely on GPS - especially if they can't use the damn thing.

Safety first - you have got to know where you are at all times.

Most of these units were either just purchased or received as Christmas presents. We chose to have them dispersed amongst all teams for communication and the ability to locate all teams. The team that found the track did not know how to use the unit other than as a radio. As more group members purchase these units and familiarize themselves with them, the ability to mark waypoints and evidence finds will be forthcoming.

Great point. The GPS capability of the Garmin is wasted if the individual doesn't know how to use it. Alpha Team received nominal training for the Garmin before they were deployed. In hindsight, we should have made it a point to train the entire research team in marking waypoints.

You can bet your bottom dollar that the next time, every team will know how to mark waypoints, for this very purpose.

Thanks for bringing that up.

Kinda re-charge's the ole' batteries!

Excellent report! :clap:

I wish that more reports were this thorough and as comprehensive. What I truly appreciate was the reporter's remarks that all evidence was thoroughly scrutinized by team members as to rule out all likely possiblities without jumping to conclusions.
