Ok this might sound peculiar if you've never been alone for a month or more in the woods but bear with me, this is important. Consider this... you are completely alone in the woods for the past month, no contact with anyone and have not heard any human activity at all, nothing notta zilch. Ok are you there yet? Now you are unarmed except for a small hatchet you cut firewood with and a pocket knife to open your cans. This morning you hear people talking, giggling and sounds of paddles on the side of canoes you suppose they are on the lake paddling across to the far side. Do you go out of your way to interact with these strangers and give away your location or do you sit quiet hoping they don't see your camp? Exactly. You hide in your tent and peer out hoping they don't make out your location. You even scrounge up your binoculars and make certain they're leaving the area.
Another week goes by with no other interruptions, peace and quiet, alone at last. This morning you're awoken by screams, cursing and yelling along with forceful hits against some unknown objects, it sounds like an all out war. This goes on for 10 minutes without a single break in the action. What are you going to do? Hide in the tent or find out if this situation could disrupt into a threat to your safety? Exactly. You are on your way to the location of the violence to decide for yourself if any future threats to you could develop. Enough said.
Is that human nature or is it animal survival? I believe it's both and as such intelligent animals will take precautions to lower their risk of injury or death. Call it the Selfish Gene, if you want? I believe humans and sasquatch are both intelligent beings and both will risk being seen or heard to find a solution to the threat whether real or imagined. What does this mean? You ask.
Well the point I'm trying to make is this...Sure you may get a knock or a whoop from a Sasquatch that's nearby and is watching or listening to you walking through the woods but if you want him to come to you from miles away you will have to be a threat to his safety, or challenge his territory in some way. I'm talking on the same lines as what a big game hunter does with Bear, Elk and Moose calls that challenge his rivals in mating season. I've seen rutting Moose plow through thick undergrowth at 20mph trying to rid their area of would be suitors. It works a good percent of the time, so to with Elk and Bears. Why not try it with the Sasquatch?

What to look for?
There are 40 ways to find a Sasquatch! Don't believe me? Stay tuned. You will never need or use all of them but like any new artist, you should be made aware of all the different aspects that the arts can offer, then choose one or more that suit your needs, personality and resources then use it like your favorite brush, until it becomes part of you.
Let's start with your first and easiest choice, driving. Back roads are high on my list of ways to look for Sasquatch, not only to see one crossing the road in front of your 88 land rover defender but keep an eye in the rear view mirror, many will cross after the vehicle goes by. Fields and narrow openings between tree stands and valleys, day or night are also good to keep an eye on. I do this where ever I drive in the country and sometimes find myself poking along at 35mph. The more time you spend in a known Sasquatch area, the more chances you have of seeing one or the evidence they leave behind.
Number two on my list is water. I believe the Sasquatch are rarely if ever seen more than a mile from water, whether it's a creek, river, lake, swamp, pond or ocean. In fact Sasquatch are seen 80% of the time right next to a source of water or going to coming from the same. A Sasquatch would rather walk through 4 feet of water than on a gravel bank, any day or night. Something weird I noticed is they will make a beeline just to walk in a puddle. Might have a cooling effect to their tired hot feet? Just my observation... your mileage may very, so check those puddles closely OK?

Where to start?
Prospecting locations for Sasquatch encounters is similar to prospecting for gold. If you ask an oldtimer he'll tell you, Gold is where you find it. Another is, Look where other's have found gold before you. Both are good advice for a beginning prospector. What most first timers need help with is where to start and what to look for.
For instance, if you wanted to find Placer Gold you will need to know what the associated minerals look like and where Gold has been retrieved out of creeks and rivers before. The same for the Sasquatch.
Looking for a Sasquatch, can be no harder than visiting your favorite campground or hiking trail, anywhere outside is more favorable than staring at your laptop. So let's get started.
If I was new to this activity, I would check the bfro.net site to find any activity in my area of the country, whether the information was posted in the 1940's or yesterday probably wont carry much weight, either way. If there was an encounter in the 40's it's likely this will be still an active area today.
How do I know? Let's say I've witnessed it more than once. On the BFRO site pay close attention to class B as you would to class A encounters, sometimes more information can be drawn out of a class B than a class A sighting, which might just consist of "It walked right across the road just in front of my car.
Class B's are usually a known position, perhaps a campsite or hiking trail and this can put you on the search much faster. A road crossing doesn't mean the Sasquatch lives nearby, but it is possible. A weekend encounter at a campsite isn't the be all end all, either but it's just an easier place to start. Also my belief is, it's a more likely place to get rewarded.
