Things to
Consider When Finding a Bigfoot Track
by
Tony Felosi
On a recent hike, with my
good friend and Bigfoot mentor Thomas Marcum, we found what we believe
were two sets of BF tracks. One was a juvenile about 10 inches and the
other was of a much larger adult.
They were walking in line with each
other with junior trying to match the stride of the adult, so there
would be one set of tracks. At least that’s what I believe after
seeing several sets like this; Thomas had brought my attention to
this phenomenon several months ago.
We were about a mile and a half
in on a gated very secluded trail in Eastern Ky., when we stopped to
rest for a few minutes. Then from above us on the trail we heard a
very low whoop, along the way we had seen some faint sign but this
vocalization was unmistakable.
We had not seen any evidence of anyone
else on the trail, No hiker or ATV tracks at all. We continued up the
trail and came to the approximate spot we thought the Whoop came from
and in the middle of the trail was a large mud hole with tracks in
it.
We did our due diligence and took photographs and some
approximate measurements etc and got back on the trail because we
just knew the best track ever was just around the bend.
Well, we went
to the end of the trail and came back out without finding another
track, 5 long miles up and down very steep terrain. I’ve given you
this back story so I could make some important points from a lesson
learned.
Bigfoot sometimes steps in mud holes and even though you can
get some decent photos you don’t get near as good evidence as if
you drained the water out of the track and made a cast. Take a small
gardening tool or shovel to divert the water from around the track.
Then use some sort of small hand pump to drain the track.
Also use
your walking stick as a track finder; you can put one end at the
track and in a slow semi circle motion looking for more sign. Not
only will it help you find more tracks but it will give you a general
direction that Mr. Hairy Britches took. I have found this very
helpful in other tracking situations.
The reason that I say use your
walking stick is 1. you probably already have it with you and 2. a Bigfoot stride is
approximately 6ft or so . This should put you really close to the
next track or sign, kicked over rock the top of a berm or log scuffed
etc.
So the moral of the story is take your time when you find a
decent track, it may be the only one you see that day. Take the right
tools to cover the most likely situations you may encounter.
I hope
you found this helpful; the more experienced Bigfoot investigators
probably already do most or all of this. But for those of you like me, who's really just getting started and has a great interest in Bigfoot and other
cryptids, remember the basics and good hunting!
