Well she's "given up" apparently.
Someone better read on this than I, is it true that both Hill and Brown have used the odd term "major frustration" to describe Area X? |

This subject was discussed at lenght with Bitpo/Brian Brown at lenght on BFF(Bigfoot Fantasy w/Friends) it was something along the lines of....the cameras were to cumbersome, hard to use, blah blah blah we stopped using them because it won't prove anything....translation we couldn't get any pictures so we gave up.

Translation: Bigfoot ain't real, and if we photographed a person, we'd have to admit a hoax.

Translation 3
We never installed any cameras because we know there is nothing to photograph. |

Did the bigfoot frolicking in the trees until the 24" tree snapped make the monograph of malarkey?

Parcher? Did you comment on the DN website? It doesn't look like your writing, but is signed 'Parcher'

So this "Area X" is only ten acres apparently. As I said my property is 14 acres and if I had 10-15 friends we could form a line and cover my entire property in a matter of minutes.
These people are either the worst researchers ever, LARPING, or are faking the entire thing. I can't believe anyone can fall for this. |

I haven't read the NAWAC monograph and I don't intend to either, FWIW.

What would really be helpful would be if Ms. Hill listed a few -- or even one -- of the points made in the monograph that she finds most compelling. Because I'd really like to know at what point she paused and went "hmmm..."

The project hypothesis seems unfalsifiable. What would inform NAWAC that there are no Bigfoots at Area X and that their hypothesis is wrong?

When they say 10 acres I'm pretty sure they mean just the private property they use to access the forest
This is about a mile from the area |

So I went to the "Visuals" section of the mono-thingy...They claim 49 sightings and I count at least 14 different people. Based on the stories, they don't seem shy about firing their guns. The incident that starts on pg 133 makes me think they/ve been reading too much of of this..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-Eaters_of_Kumaon

I suspect nothing would inform the NAWAC guys; then again I've long ago given up trying to figure out why the Bigfoot crowd do what they do. I'm more interested in understanding why Ms. Hill has taken the sort of interest in this that she apparently has, given that this just seems to be the same-old same-old. Something appears to be going on here that I'm entirely missing.

A 229 page bigfoot story? With no cigar?
No way I'm wading through that. Have they set up a bigfoot trap yet? |

Is bigfoot ever on an aerial image? We have some darned good images of the woods available these days.

I think it might be time to remind everyone that the NAWACers don't spend a lot of time in the winter at their wood-ape wilderness. You know, when the heat, bugs and leaves are down, sightlines are better, possibility of a skiff of snow for better tracking.
Wait, they don't have interactions in the winter? How do they know if they don't go? Do they have excuses for everything? Why yes, yes they do. |

^^ I asked that question on the BFF a year or so ago. The gist of the answer was they give the wood apes a break during the winter.

This. They can get away with their super-happy fun-play time in summer when it's hot and the woods are crawling with ticks. Come autumn, however, the leaf-peepers are all over those roads and in those cabins, followed by the hunters.
Just to get a sense for how the bear hunters operate in that part of the world (hint - they're in the woods weeks ahead of the opening on Oct. 1) this is quite an interesting read. |

O.S.,
I hope you don't believe that crap. The key phrase is, "I jumped up and hit the thing with a beer bottle." Then there's this:
