Conducting Bigfoot Field Investigations

Investigation should not be just a jaunt into the wooded area looking for Sasquatch signs.
Determination of merit is what we need, if an account is to be considered real. First travel their route and time it. Using the sample time line above, if they left the party at 10:00 PM. On Main St., what if the gas station is only around the corner? Unaccounted time.
What if the area of the sighting is actually an hour from the area of the gas station? If you have a good feeling about a witness, remember, “Trust but Verify.” You may have to retrace steps on a trail to verify times, but do it! It can be the determination between “a good story” versus a legitimized account.
Here is a basic list of equipment that you should always have on hand when you are in the field:
◾Plastic/Rubber/Nitrile gloves  – Preventing evidence contamination – keeping hands clean while casting, etc.
◾Measuring tape –  Measuring prints, track ways, etc.
◾Note pad  – Taking notes, drawing maps, etc.
◾Pen or pencil  – Self explanatory (can be used as a photographic scale reference in a pinch)
◾Ziploc bags  – Evidence storage as well as protecting equipment.
◾Paper bags or envelopes –  Evidence storage
◾Garbage bags  – Protecting tracks until they can be cast – expedient raingear or shelter
◾Tweezers (sterile) –  Evidence collection
