I always suspected... and now finally, proof! For some reason I can't resist watching those shows. Guess part of me hopes that sasquatch really is out there. Why? I dunno. :?

Total entertainment. Just like the UFO documentary shows. Fun to ponder the 'what if' type of questions. I'll have to check that out, I've never watched the show before.

hahaha just found a link to a list of episodes - It's on Animal Planet? Here's the info for the 'Oregon' show:

FISHING FOR BIGFOOT IN OREGON
Premiering Sunday, June 19, 10PM e/p
Bigfoot expert Matt Moneymaker takes his team of specialists to Oregon to examine a video taken on a rafting expedition. While investigating, the BFRO team hears a sound in the middle of the night that they believe could prove the creature’s existence.


And the Episode Guide!

That Moneymaker dude is very funny to me! He always makes comments like (yep that is what Bigfoot does). The last show was great! A cop car with a dash cam had video of something crossing the road. Money maker said there was no question it was a Squatch! Just recently some college kids got bust with a gorilla suit messing with people:)

Last winter, I had 4 members of the BFRO contact me after my Fish Creek treks. Apparently there's been a bunch of sightings up there. I agreed to meet them and hike up the old road with them, all the while being asked 100 questions. I'm always looking to learn new things, so I did my best to remember what they were telling me. These guys were serious in their beliefs about Bigfoot. It was quite compelling actually to spend a day in the woods with some of those fella's.

Some things they informed me of :)

1) Bigfoot's stink, once u smell one, you'll never forget it

2) They're clumsy. They don't walk with even foot steps.

3) Adult males can lift a sedan off the ground by themselves and throw it a good distance.

Personally, I've never seen one, and I find it hard to believe we've never found any remains of one if they do in fact exist. Still, it was an interesting day, and I wouldn't hesitate to hike with them again.

That is cool! It is very entertaining & I would love to hike with such characters, but first I would need Roy to dress up in his clothing that looks like a bear suit ahead of time :) Kind of funny that this guy Moneymaker has been doing this stuff for 20+ years but he does not have 1 single good photo or hair sample, crap..scat.poop, bones, anything! but he knows everything about them!

. Found my subject, but no suit needed! This guy is a monster. If I saw him in the woods I would report a Sasquatch!!
