Bigfoot, snipe, jackalope to be hunted

Thanks to KTVZ for re-alerting us to this year's outing from the Bigfoot Field Research Organization in June, this year, in Oregon. The BFRO will be leading ad hocs teams of three to five paying suckers who will camp out during moon-less nights in search of Bigfoots/Bigfeets. To see whether we're on the same page, read the following and tell me whether you're thinking the same thing I'm thinking:

"These animals seem to be more bold and approach humans closer at night, when it is very dark out and no moonlight," the group states. "Nights around the new moon may be their most active hunting periods."

Those who assemble at base camp are divided into teams of three to five people, led by guides who have surveyed the terrain and studied satellite-aerial photos to "figure out the best places to listen for their echoing vocalizations at night."

"It sounds easy, but you need to have a lot of information to know confidently where to be," the group states. "You also need to know the various types of sounds they make, and how to provoke them into making those sounds, to both confirm their presence and lure them toward you."

Exactly! If the BFRO weren't the eminently ethical organization that I know them to be, I would suspect them of engaging Bigfoot impersonators to make those sounds and perhaps rustle a few leaves or so.

Do not expect Art Bell or George Noory to look into whether less scrupulous organizations employ tactics such as those. No, no sirree.
