A phone call today from a Bigfoot organization that asked to have detailed directions to the area where we found and photographed the Bigfoot was denied by Bill. The request was turned down because of concerns that this group wanted to try to trap the Bigfoot by using tranquilizer guns. There is no way to know what the reaction of the creature might be towards this kind of radical research.
It is our feeling this Bigfoot needs to left alone in his environment and not be hunted for profit or exploitation. Over the last few weeks the work on our last expedition has progressed. We have now received written reports from science on the results of the fecal matter and blood. These reports will be released with the photos and foot casts. We will at some point try to reach out to other Bigfoot investigators with all of the recent physical and written evidence we have.
However, as we have stated before, we will not be a catalyst to capture or harass this or any other creature. The reason for our work is for a better understanding of Bigfoot not a circus pen or a dead body. Our feelings along this line is the same as in the beginning. Anyone that thinks they can capture this or any other Bigfoot without deadly consequences is not thinking it through very well.
We have seen what this creature is capable of and respect is the best defense. Something as little as making direct prolonged eye contact can bring on aggressive behavior. These creature are much like humans in the way they "take things" in general. Some will quickly leave and some will not. Some might take offence at your simply being there and some might not.
We think the best thing to do if you run into a Bigfoot closeup is to back up slowly and don't make any quick moves to alarm it.
Remember panic will not help you. All the evidence shows this creature is not violent and will let you leave without harm. It should be noted that young women should use extreme caution when walking in the forest alone. There seems to be some correlation between Bigfoot and human females. This same behavior has been seen with grizzlies around women with perfumes.
