My husband and I went back to our new winter research spot last weekend.  We were hoping for the great eye shine and maybe hearing them.  This trip resulted in mixed results compared to the first weekend we camped there.  As in any new endeavor you will have your ups and down but if you get results over the long haul then it was worth while.

We hiked over where we saw the eye shine the first weekend.  It was steep and rugged.  I have yet to find a spot where they are located and it is easy to navigate.  I just pace myself and keep going.  We did not really see much in that area.  Our conclusion was that they use it to move around undetected.  We did come across deer and found scat from them and elk.  Some fresh.

We ventured back to the creek area.  My husband came across a 14/15 inch impression.   It looked fairly recent.  We found more tree breaks that seem to be markers coming down from a certain area.  We plan on exploring that next time.

On Saturday night we had some eye shine but nothing compared to the first time.  My impression was that they were more cautious and unsure of us this time.  Our frequent trips will hopefully help with that.

I will be posting soon a wonderful trip I had with 28 elementary children exploring for BigFoot.

So my friends onward we go.

SQUATCH ON!
