My ultimate goal is to record 24/7. I usually have two recorders running and sometimes three. I have recorded in a wide variety of locations, twenty-five miles from the hard road in Colorado to my back yard in Illinois. This week I left my equipment out in a public area for three days and nights. I [...]
09.24Those Double Arches.
As I have stated before I have little interest in stick structures or arches. But when I came upon this one I had to stop and take a second look. This is near my home here in Central Illinois. Several years ago I found a single footprint a couple of hundred feet from this location.
The final type of sound system is a standard car stereo amplifer with two external outdoor type speakers. The speakers have two heavy duty magnets attached so that they can be placed on the hood of my Jeep. This type of sound system is very good for putting out extremely loud calls. Best suited for [...]
If you are in a remote site and not sure if sasquatch frequent the area a very effective technique is to use an electonic bullhorn or megaphone. They are easy to use and lightweight.

For sound amplification equipment I will review four general areas of equipment getting larger and more expensive. I am not stating that any one category is more effective as I don’t think that louder is better.
For this post we will start out with the lowly cell phone. It may sound silly but several years ago [...]
Recently I made a comment about how I disliked the term “sound blasting”.
Reader Scott M submitted the following comment :
All methods fall under the concept of Acoustic Attraction…by wood-knocking…by mechanical call…by vocal immitation…by electronic amplification. I’ll settle on “Amplified Acoustic Attraction.” I like “Sound Braodcasting” too. Keep up the good work.
I really like the term Acoustic [...]
09.02Camas Prairie, Idaho
Recently I spent the night with a lifelong friend in Northern Idaho. John Webb had known about my interest in sasquatch research and invited to his home where we could do some sound blasting and reminisce about “old times”.
I was born and raised in Northern Idaho. Idaho is a state of mountains, lakes and streams. But in the [...]
