    Smoke inhalation, surrounded by fire & burned – quite possible that anything living there is no longer living or injured. I suspect its not likely that one makes it to an AID station receives treatment and sent on his way with selfies.

    There was that rumor / unverified account of firefighters found one during a forest fire a few years ago and then it was treated and then taken somewhere. Any large burned corpses are easily dismissed as “bear” and dismissed.

    A well preserved asphyxiated body would however be difficult to move and explain away – let hope someone finds one a

    Combine the shotshell to a big container of tannerite for a sasquatch. It will wake them up or deafen them.

    There was a recent thread on AR15.cm General Discussion forum where someone claimed to share photos of some squatches with someone and somehow the pics of an alleged bigfoot skull were posted and ended up it was an Alpaca skull. Didn’t have time or interest to read the whole story but it all seemed pretty childish name calling. Anyway people fake things and some people don’t want to share things makes the subject hard to take things at face value which is a shame because someone that has something real will undoubtedly called a fake or scam. So these situations can lead to withholding info good and bad.

    There is a difference between lethality and stopping (power).

    Most handgun wounds would be considered lethal (causing death) “eventually” and “without medical care”. Dying of wound infection or other types of “latent” organ failure could easily cause death But the lethal eventuality is so long after after the initial event it does not “stop” someone Or in this case a stop a creature from escaping.

    Shot placement is everything – and a good penetrating handgun like a 357, 10mm or 44 mag can kill a large creature, But it may not stop the creature from d retaliation or escape – although blood trails can be followed. Its hard to predict what a thinking creature may do – if its already hell bent on getting you, it may be impossible to stop until its too late, one that is moving away in fear may not like getting shot and try running away more so as to avoid more pain. Repeat shots are probably important – I would carry a GLock 20 with full power 10mm loads, and a 12 gauge with brenneke slugs and a few well armed friends. If one was fortunate enough to think they could find one sitting still, would also consider using some 7.62x54R API with “explosive tip” (Its WWII aircraft ammo ammo made for Russian ChKAS aircraft machine gun) – evidently makes a terrible wound.

    I’d like the show better if they spent some time explaining the assumed size and physiology of a bigfoot – discussing kill methods, shot placement suitable bait and traps including DNA / hair traps.

    I’d love it if someone made up one of those skeleton Gel targets (enlarged for sasquatch size) and shoot it and see what happens – also test out swords, arrows primitive weapons etc. to see how primitive man may have killed them.

    The show had a decent premise – I just wish it was “serious” unlike they way many scripted “reality” shows are.

    Electric and magnetic fields will change from location to location.
    Would like to see the equipment type as they are made for specific energies and fields.

    I forgot to add.

    While at West Valley nuclear they had choppers outfitted with GPS and gamma sensors – were able to make detailed maps of contamination plumes, etc., even underground. A strong gamma emitter in the middle of the woods would seemingly be an easy find.

    This isn’t rocket science, but real science Frankly I am surprised at the lack of real science employed by researchers – there doesn’t seem to be a real think tank on the subject that has experience nor grant writing experience. I am really at a loss as to why Meldrum types don’t get real scientiffic about it – the cost isn’t millions but maybe tens of thousands. If someone can make a TV show about finding bigfoot that makes literally millions of dollars for the network why can’t someone do similar only use science instead of wood knocks and sasquatch calls and a 8 hour hunt with a flir handy – doesn’t sound like scientiffic sounds like a TV production schedule.

    Danny T,

    I’ve worked with radioactive materials for decades professionally.
    Iodine-131 is relatively safe in small quantities and another common Isotope is I-125 which can frequently be used in nuclear medicine. Its half life is almost too short to use for long though. the info you have there is in regards to a huge quantity released in the fission of a nuclear weapon. Its concern in large/huge releases is uptake in human populations will absorb it in their thyroid when drinking contaminated water and atmospheric attached fractions. In small quantities given to animals they are used for study, etc.

    getting a radioactive materials license with intentional release to the environment for animal studies would have to be done in accordance witha licensed research institute within scope of licensing agency. Probably a safe bet most universities would scoff at it, but some might find it of interest.

    I like this subject too.

    I’d like to hear more about what those hunters in Alaska told Wes – He’s already mentioned it in passing a dozen or so times, lets hear the whole story (as it was told to Wes).

    Its not the borosilicate itself (that is a type of glass) its just the phenomenon that materials that have the same refractive index and transparency can seemingly not be differentiated from each other – the inside beaker disappears from your view – but note the oil did not. Sasquatch is not transparent, nor can something seemingly change its refractive index of all its body parts and makeup simultaneously. We don’t know everything. What might be more plausible is that in some fashion like a polar bear hair – it has no color and makes itself more like its surroundings – Who knows like I said we don’t know everything – still a cool video. There are some very real studies of fiber optics changing color to its surroundings to make military objects and suits invisible to the eye (somewhat)

    I’ve had that sensation a few times, can’t say what it was.
    I remember it very well once – I was deep in the woods as a teenager building a mini-log cabin and had it hit me real strong. I actually packed up and left. Never did see or hear anything and went back many times without that feeling ever coming over me again.

    Funny I had thought the same thing when Wes said that.

    I want to know as well.

    Please Please Wes!

    The farmer couldn’t hellp it if people got in the way of his normal chores. : )

    Fracking protesters generally don’t have the technical knowledge to know what they are protesting about. Its safe to say protesters aren’t the kind of people that are engineers or will be splitting the atom and protest what they don’t understand – which is a good many things.

    The reason I posed this question was that reproduction has got to be ingrained into any animal no matter how elusive. Animals that are remotely in small populations can’t seemingly rely on serendipitous mating – In other words they must do something or rely on something to help them find each other to propagate the species.

    Animals we know use calls, visual indicators and and scents to attract each other –

    If one of those things is scents It could be used to help lure one in – It just has to be the same species – If human, then would human fermones work? My thought is if human then Gorilla fermone is a turn off.

    Why do researchers feel compelled to keep moving and thrashing about – look around for 5 minutes or so, then leave And only to later on find subjects hidden in video. Does it not make sense that while out and then suspecting the presence of something to then 1) Stop, 2) be quiet and still and 3) carefully survey listen to ones surroundings rather than talking to each other and thrash about and sometimes narrate to the camera?
