What is the best time to see or research a bigfoot
by Tal
There is more to it than "best time".
First: If your research area is remote and uninhabited by humans, and you think the animals inhabit the area, go into the most remote part late in the afternoon. Make no unnecessary noises, wait until dark, and listen for the animals' "gathering" calls or "knocking signals" with sound enhancement equipment. Wait until 30 minutes after full darkness. If you have not heard anything, shout or "holler" as loud and as long as you can. (A woman's scream is usually more effective if available.)If you hear no response, you are not near their bedding areas. (They will, in some fashion, answer if they are around.)
Second: If you don't want to spend months or years looking for their general bedding area, and you know where there have been sightings or sound encounters, get in those areas at the times of the encounters and spend several nights listening. Then try wood knocking, or rock cracking if in the mountains. Try the human sounds or recorded calls late at night in the suspected foraging areas.
Third: If you get a response, especially late at night,
DO NOT STAY EXPOSED. CONCEAL YOURSELF, BE VERY QUITE AND LISTEN CAREFULLY. They will very likely come to check you out. If you are in the open, you will probably never see, hear or smell them, but you may find their tracks next day.
Others may have advice about looking for animals that stay and forage near rural settlements. There are such areas in many States. I've done that many times, but for several reasons I like the very remote locations.
These tactics work. Period. And it took a h--- of a long time to discover them.
Good luck.
