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. :drinkers:

Please do me a favor if this works out and you catch it ask him/her/shim if he knows where any good warbird wrecks are located. Especially Corsairs or P-40's.

Sasquatch has a superb sense of smell. Even tho they smell bad, their smeller is real good! After extensive perfessional research I can assure you they find Jack Links Beef Jerky irresistible no matter what steps you take to hide it from them...soooo!

You might want to try this:

1. Dig a 10 ft diameter by 10 ft deep, round pit
2. Take a bag of ashes from your fireplace
3. Cover the bottom of the pit with the ashes
4. Bigfoot is a herbivore, get a can of Green Giant green peas
5. Line the ground along the top of the pit with the peas
6. Hide out of sight behind a tree and wait for Bigfoot
7. When Bigfoot goes to take a pea
8. Kick him in the ash hole

Bingo!

A good time for a little experiment...just before you start the camera rolling, secretly tuck a couple pieces of jerky on him and let the fun begin... :twisted:

This time I looked for a date stamp...

"Amelia Earhart discovery?
Researchers eye Papua New Guinea 'wreck site'
Wreckage off Buka Island could be from Earhart’s Lockheed Electra 10E.
Bill Snavely & Project Blue Angel
"

Well... at least it's NOT from TIGHAR:

With the exception of Antarctica, most places in the South Pacific are warmer...
