Interesting documentary ''scotty9" but what is bemusing to me is the number of searches going on in the US as well as here in Australia with Yowie that is still using the old tried but failed procedures that will never produce tangible evidence of their existence. The cameras around the camping area will never produce an image because the camera will basically malfunction all the time. Then we have the infallible thermal imager, out they come in Sasquatch hot spots like Washington with 528 Bigfoot sightings, California 425, Oregon 227, Ohio 224 etc. and zilch. They even produced a mobile thermal imager with a nine square mile radius on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, now this area has supposedly the highest concentration of Sasquatch sightings in the US. The imager was highly effective picking up mice, rabbits, deer from a great distance but you guessed it no Bigfoot.

Now a lot of people would take this as an analogy of the non-existence of Bigfoot and co but we all know that they are out there but until we change our strategies and approach nothing will change.

Which methodology would you apply, Senses? I'm genuinely interested in what alternative search methods you have in mind.

A recent Bigfoot Eyewitness Radio show called The Sasquatch Whisperer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghvlghdH1Bo) is about a chap who claims to have interacted with them for 35 years.

He says to go camping and/or hiking and call out something along the lines of "Hello, I mean no harm!"

Only he does it in Cherokee. He suggests finding out how to say it in whatever native tongue is in your area.

Below are some images he has captured...

Simon M, notice in the above video that the searchers are all walking around with high calibre weaponry that in itself is a no-no. If you are genuinely looking for Bigfoot and probably Yowies you must be prepared without guns. This could be particularly risky in states of the US like Washington, Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan because it may not be Bigfoot you have to fear but Dogman they can turn very nasty. Next, no cameras they won't come near them so there goes any chance of getting a Bigfoot/Yowie on video.
Below are two comments by Darlene Terry on an encounter with a Bigfoot family in Mount St Helens in the US.

I was in the same boat as you. I lived by MT St Helens, last house on the road and backed to Weyerhouser property that went for 30 miles. I grew up out in the very remote areas and didn't believe either until a family of five came out of the woods one summer evening and ate every pear out of our tree while myself and my family watched from our deck. They didn't ever threaten us, but hung around for a few days, and then we didn't see them again. They looked more human than not, and we didn't want to expose them so we decided never to talk about them to them people. I am 60 years old, and a trained Mental Health Therapist. I always believed in science, and now have my own proof. I do understand your skepticism.?

There was a Grandfather, Grandmother, Father, Mother, and Adolescent Boy. The Grandfather was by far the tallest, at our best estimate, 10-11 ft, and was the one that directed the family. He was not aggressive in any manner, but more like a calm elder, and was silver grey in parts of his dark brown hair. The Father was just shorter by about half a head, and was very powerful looking. He had a sort of facial expression that wasn't exactly aggressive, but sort of like your dad when you knew you better sit down and stay there and be quiet. The Grandmother and Mother were both about 7 ft tall, and were watching us curiously while they picked fruit, and they watched the Grandfather constantly for direction. The young Boy, who was about 5-6 ft tall watched us with a look almost like he wanted to come over and check us out. My son was about 13, and I had my adult daughter, her husband, and their baby on the deck. Our deck was about 40 feet from the corner post of the pasture, and the tree was just on the other side. There was another 40 feet to the forest treeline. They did not look like apes, or monkeys, and their facial structures had more of a prominent brow and forehead, but was otherwise completely human, except that they were covered in hair.?

Darlene Terry's statement about ''bigfoot not looking like apes ,or monkeys, and their facial structures had more of a prominent brow and forehead, but was otherwise completely human, except that they were covered in hair.?'' just reinforces my beliefs of these creatures and the way we should approach them.I think Wolf's comment below is getting very close to my approach because I do not believe we are dealing with some type of ape or monkey but something more humanoid. Bigfoot seem to have an affinity with Native Americans and First Nations people so for starters if you live in the US have one or two of these people accompany you. We had a case here in Donnybrook (WA) where a Yowie was seen by two people running down a hill at the local tip one of these people happened to be a native American. I t appears that Bigfoot/Yowie do have an association with indigenous people whether Australian indigenous folk or First Nation or Native American. So if you are looking for Yowies in Australia take an aboriginal person with you. I do have further methods but the above is a good starting point.

I agree that carrying weapons is a bad idea, and they seem to avoid any electronic equipment - I suspect they can either smell human scent on this equipment and/or perceive the electromagnetic signals these devices emit.

I'm still not sure what you're suggesting, although Wolf's theory about speaking in a language native to the area (which may be familiar to them) is interesting.

I think people overthink the yowie. What I have gleaned from my own and Rusty's research is they can literally see any camera, I suspect the ir spectrum, and simply never come close enough to trigger them. They peek from long distances and the only, I believe authentic, captures have been made from a distace by cameras taking multiple photos seconds apart. Replace the timelapse with continuous video zoomed in to those distant peeking positions and eventually it will capture something. These creatures simply outclass us in bush skills. Just my opion.

Dave that makes perfect sense, as does Senses' point about them being more human than 'animal' in terms of their intellect and behaviour.

We're certainly not going to outsmart them in their own domain, that much is obvious.

Whatever the actual situation is I remain convinced that there's a race of living creatures out in the wilderness we cannot yet identify but which we colloquially call 'Yowie'. It's a belief, in my case, not something I can prove and not something I've ever seen first hand. I remain convinced that they do exist. There's too much anecdotal evidence to suggest they're there for me to dismiss their presence entirely as so many people prefer to do.

Well said.. exactly..

Yes great post Simon and you are 100% correct that there is a hair covered ape like/ caveman or hominid roaming our forests. Any authority figure or individual that says otherwise is 100% wrong or misinformed

I have been watching this wildman doco in bits and pieces over last few weeks. Moreso for the scenery and his dads sighting of the large rocks thrown against tree than any hopes of seeing a squatch.

It cracked me up when he suddenly let rip with a few howls and says after that maybe he shouldn't have done the howls. Lol!

Bloody scary but beautiful area he is in too.

I agree Yowie about the scenery, scotty9's video has amazing scenery and it's not hard to imagine with the density and remoteness that there are creatures in dem woods we have absolutely no idea about.

Maybe some Dogmen or Mothman lurking about in the woods Rod? Definetely wouldnt want to get lost out there!
