Bill Emery: New Investigation
Tonight, Cole and I are undertaking a new investigation at Sru Lake in the Siskiyou National Forest. After a week of talking with various people on the latest lake problem, we have decided the best way to understand what is going on is to live in the area for a week to 10 days. We do know a little bit of information that came to via FS. It appears that two animals are living near the area. One set of prints are over 19 inches and another set of tracks at 16 inches.
The latest thinking by anonymous personnel is that a female has came into the region of Eden Valley. We will set up trail cams and use thermal imaging to try get a line on the animals. We both have proper permits to carry firearms and will do so. Our area will run from Buck Creek to Sru lake and over to Bald Knob. We will be camping in a camper at night near Sru and Buck Creek. We will use bait at nighttime in the other areas around the quadrant. Most of the more recent sightings are in the late evening to daylight hours. We are hooked into satellite so we can make contact with other personnel if need be. Will give you a update on Tuesday night on any movement.
Before anybody jumps to conclusions the firearms are for self protection only. Also Cole and I recently went through updated EMT courses for extra safety reasons. We expect nothing but hope for more understanding on the animals' movements in the area if possible.
