I really wish someone could do a totally unquestionalble documentation of one.
The creeks the creeks. They always follow the creeks (Woodswatcher)

Go out and try some of the things i mention and see what happens.

I believe that our fishermen also follow creeks; it hard to catch fish in the middle of the woods! Many fishermen love to take pictures of their catch, especially if they plan on releasing it. I am surprised they could not find a BF to pose with their fish

I wonder what the estimated population is of BF in Idaho; more than i wonder what a person on my ignore list says. lol

According to your BFRO map (BFRO Geographical Database of Bigfoot Sightings & Reports) Idaho does not have as many sightings as my Pennsylvania. As a matter of fact it has about one third less. Of course you should know this; it is your subject! Hey; I don't ignore people simply because I do not believe them!

Unfortunately any research done to prove the existence of this creature depends on grants, contributions and memberships. It looses it's scientific approach before it ever starts. It isn't only that; but that link takes us to a website that screams at us that it is only about the money. Scientific websites are not written on a black background with multicolored lettering! I am surprised they do not have the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders jumping around the screen!

Here is a good one for you. I used a Jiffy Pop popcorn . Use the type with the aluminum pan. I read this and it worked good.

Pop your popcorn and then get some strong wire about 4 ft long. Find a tall tree with a limb about 14 ft off the ground or so. Use your wire to hang it from the limb. Make it so that nothing other than a human or a BF can get it down. Check on it and look for it if ir disappears.

I stood on the side of my F-150 2 wheel drive truck bed and used a 12-14 ft aluminum extendable pole and i used baling wire to hang it over the limb. The Oak tree was alongside a soybean stubble field and on private property. Two days later it was gone. The wire was gone, popcorn gone aluminum cover over popcorn gone and after looking for about 1/2 hour i found the pan over 50 ft away and shoved under a very old rotted elm log. Looked for tracks the whole time and found none and i could tell the gate was wired shut exactly as i had done it. Thus i determined that no human had been there. very hard for any trespasser to have gone there and that would have taken another trip to go get a ladder and carry back to the tree because the tree was unclimable with out boot spikes and i saw no spike marks on the tree and no signs of any human activity.

Try it yourself. Just ignore the naysayers and go out and have some fun. I feel real peaceful since i remembered the ignore list.

Raccoons can be pretty creative when it comes to getting to food. And they like to eat. Your popcorn probably made one or more raccoons very happy.

And what would be wrong with that?
