Baiting Bigfoot
DC emailed me last week about his project of baiting Bigfoot/Sasquatch, and seeing one! DC along with three of his friends has a baiting station in the Carmel Highlands area of Monterey County, California. Last week, while he and his friends were replenishing the bait bag, they smelled a “wet dog pungent odor” and felt they were being watched. When done with the bait bag, they hurried to a point about a hundred feet above the bait station, where DC, through his binoculars, observed the backside of a very tall Bigfoot striding into the oak trees, rope on the ground and bait bag gone.
What does one “bait” a Bigfoot/Sasquatch with? Here is the grocery list of what DC and his friends provided the animal: lemon tarts, squeeze-bottle of honey, baklava, tomatoes, several ears of corn, whole fried chicken, slab of sweet feed, and a large bottle of water with twist top. DC included more in his email and perhaps I’ll tell you more next week. Thank you, DC, for your newsy email and interest.
As I’ve mentioned before in this column, just this summer in the Sutherlin area, two people have told me of possible sightings. If more people would speak up, perhaps the animal’s existence could be substantiated. Email me your sightings at lindap.douglasco.net. I’ll use just your initials and not those if you request that I don’t.
Well, the leaves are falling and I did some raking. I got to thinking about how much I’d like to have a scarecrow. And I remembered I had a new “monkey” mask, so I made my scarecrow a Bigfoot/Sasquatch. What fun it is to have my own furry Bigfoot/Sasquatch in my backyard.
As much as I enjoy the subject of Bigfoot/Sasquatch, I do not go into the forests searching for the animal. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to see one, but it will have to be when he’s sprinting across the road in front of our car, happenstance in other words. I’ve read often that plowing through the woods looking for the animal simply doesn’t work. He can see and smell you, well before you get a chance to see him. Many researchers recommend that you just plant yourself somewhere and let the animal become familiar with your presence. And maybe you’ll be rewarded with a glimpse of him.
