We thought about building a trap similar to that, but her idea (she's doing the engineering on this) is to dig a hole,
put M&M's and beef jerky in a bowl, put a mattress in the bottom of the hole, (so he/she doesn't get hurt falling in)
cover the hole with sticks, and leaves, maybe even a blanket. and then when he/she /they (you never know) fall in
we're going to take a picture.( This is strictly catch and release.) She said "Poppa we could sell the picture for a thousand
dollars!! we'll be rich!".
I'll admit there are a few questions, For starters, a 60 year old overfed truck driver, might have a bit of a problem digging
a hole deep enough and wide enough for 7-10 foot tall 800 lb gorilla to fall into. and the plan also doesn't take into account how the bigfoot would know there was a bowl of M&M's and beef jerky in the hole to begin with. Not to mention, not having access to a backhoe, I'm left with a pick and shovel. And we're limited to the state of Wisconsin, and weekends. Oh well, nothing ventured nothing gained.
Wow this thread hijacking thing is pretty easy. I hope Mr Gillespie will forgive me.
