If I can make a suggestion. Next time you might want to take along a good size bag of flour. Spread it in a large circle around the bait on the ground and what ever is hanging around just might leave some identifying tracks? leave a narrow path through the flour for your own approach route.

Yeah like Oregonman said, using flour failed miserably in this area, but we did try it... it also looks so un-natural that I would think a semi-intelligent being would have to stay away from it, as it is so foreign.

^ Does this work for you?

We tried it a couple outings ago and the flour just sticks to the forest floor. We spread out a half bag or so and we tried walking through it, even trying to scuff it up and it sort of made a thick pitchy paste with everything on the ground.

It might work better in a dry spot later in the summer though.

Oops. Forgot to mention. Don't try this if its raining. And don't make it thick, But if conditions are o.k. and just a thin sprinkle, not thick like a snow fall than it should work pretty good. I got a lot of crow prints, one set of black bear prints and a hell of allot of squirrels. Its just to see what may be hanging around not meant to try and get something to cast. plaster of Paris in its powder form, if you have enough to spare can be used as well. Again hot dry conditions like now. Once the rains start up again you just get a mess. Found that out the hard way to.

Yah dont get us wrong, Oregonman, Mojo and myself of the WASRT thought the idea was good... But when we put it into practice in the field it just did not work for us, and no there was no rain for a few weeks with daily temps in the 80's....

How far is the location from the nearest airport?

The fourth sound file on the google site sounds like an airplane.

Anyone want to take a crack at answering this?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I get a lot of aircraft sounds on that fourth file.

Is this for your own information Drew, or is this yet more information to take elsewhere?

No one else that I know is talking about this.
I took the time to listen to the tracks, and one of them sounds like an airplane in an approach descent.
I asked last week, and thought maybe someone missed my question.


Do you think the people at JREF care about a Bigfoot sound file?
Get some politics in it, out an owner's location, and it will get some play over there.

What is it with you? You still think I was stealing stuff for the MRP? What brought that question out?

[OregonMan]

The location is NNE of Mt Rainier. I'd suggest you contact Mojo or Risky (they are both named Steve, thus the use of handles) at WASRT. They recorded the sound and can fill you in with what you what to know.

I was at the location at a later date than the recording. There is a flight path on approach to Sea-Tac (Seattle's airport) and jets fly over the north edge of the location at a somewhat high elevation. I don't know exactly how high or how far away, but I could ID the planes as commercial (Alaska Airlines for example) with binoculars, so I knew they were headed for Sea-Tac and not one of the other large local airports (Boeing Field, McCord AFB, Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, etc...)

As Wammy said, I have been sick since last week. I am sorry Drew, I thought I was responding to the about the info you were looking for on the PGF stuff.

But I fail to see how my question could result in such a complete hissy fit. Mistakes happen Drew, and don't require a complete breakdown.

There was no breakdown, I was just defensive about a subject I have been wrongly accused of here before. :)

[Melissa]

Fine, but get over it. Mistakes happen. Geez. If you dont want people to assume the worst of you, maybe you shouldnt assume the worst either. A simple "Melissa, I'm not sure what this is about" would have sufficed.

Now, I have apologized for my mistake, and I am sorry. Lets get this back on topic.

[delmarduck]

These sounds are very interesting. I agree that the higher pitched sound sounds much like that of a chimp. It is very odd that the lid was pushed in and the can was still upright and roughly in the same location as it was placed, with no other visible damage to the can. TooRisky - it sounds like you just may have captured audio of a juvenile and adult Sasquatch. Do you have any other recordings resembling any of the aforementioned sounds? Also, was there any other signs in the area that could lead one to think that Sasquatch could have been in the area?

[lost1arc]

Thank you for letting us hear the clip, TR. I couldn't make out the footsteps, but that might just be the sound volume on this lap top. but the animal sounds were very clear. You certainly got something alive.


Just curious, why did you leave the cover atached? to keep other animals like skunk and racoons out? have you ever used this bait before?


Just a thought, one can't help but wonder why the can was left behind. Possible guess, ( The youngster was attracted to the bait, mama was instructing JR. to put it down, the youngster resists, proclaiming it's obvious potential, but mama wins the debate in the end. youngster puts the can down as instructed and off they go.)

hey, it could happen.
