EA-TV full Bigfoot TV episode with our research team

This is the TV broadcast of our team on local Great 38 TV of the Bigfoot episode. Pretty cool being on TV and we hope to be doing much more in the future.

A day in the wilderness

Kevin and I took advantage of a an excellent day in Florida and went hiking in the Starkey wildlife area in Pasco county. This amazing place is 30,000 acres of wild land surrounded by civilization. Many people don't even know its there. For those that do, it offers a real chance to see what Florida looked like centuries before developers entered this area.

The lake behind Kevin's house. You can see how beautiful the day was.

It was only a short drive from Kevin's house to find our way to this place. Immediately upon entering, we could see a deer right up by the front. Kevin says the park is infested with deer. In fact, one of his crew members heard from a cab driver, of all people, that the wildlife commission was authorizing a deer hunt because the Bigfoot population was growing and deer were drawing them in. How about that!

A deer in the distance

Our goal for the day was to make our way back to a wild river which is a watershed for it. We drove several miles into the park to get as close as we could. We still had a difficult hike in front of use but it was worth the time and effort to do this.  The conditions we encountered heading back there were not ideal. The area became very muddy and swampy, and this is the dry time of year. We knew we were in an old growth area because of the size of some of the oak trees we found along the way. We shot a video at this spot and I laughed about finding something that was wider then me. At his point, a lady hiker with a backpack walked up from behind of Kevin and almost scared him to death. The photos here show just how big and old these trees are.

We finally got out to the rivers edge. It was a smelly and bug infested area. I don't even think Skunk Ape wants to hang out here. Even with the mud, there were no prints. Not even anything we could play up as a print. Not many come out here, but if they did, they were wearing boots. Speaking about boots, I was sinking into the mud to my ankles. Kevin did manage to maneuver on logs. In fact, he was considering tight rope walking across, but considered otherwise.

Along the waters edge

Kevin thinking about crossing

We did find another trail that led us to an even larger expanse of the River. However, it crossed through an old settlers land. You could see what was left of an old barn door (I think). Someone had put a stop sign up but was of no use. Hikers before us had knocked the thing down and went in anyway.

Lots of roots on this path to make it slow going

The sun was getting ready to set and we had to get back to the car. Overall, the day was a success. The air was cool and the bugs were somewhat under control. They will not be in a few months and it was important to get to this area now.

The Thanksgiving Day Bigfoot video

This video was shot at the end of several hours in field on Turkey day 2013. This is the short version so it will fit on this blog and get to the point. I believe I am going to use this blog and format for I am getting very tired of the crowd on YouTube and what is going on there. I want a following that will like what we are doing and take the time to find this blog.


As it was moving into view

It is in view at this point

Kevin examines possible Skunk Ape trackway

Kevin and I were out last Friday in a new jungle area. Kevin found what looked like a series of footprints. He is very good at finding these things and I followed his leed. The only issue we had was lack of toe detail. Because of that, we put it in the maybe category, and moved on.

Is it Bigfoot we are looking for?

Is this what we are looking for?

This question was posed on the Above Top Secret website. Decades have passed since the Patterson/Gimlim film and there is still no hard evidence; so just what are we looking for? Is it really a giant 800 lb creature or something else?


FINDING BIGFOOT made it look really easy. A skunk ape behind a house in Florida, a skunk ape along a canal in the everglades (a horse), a thermal hit from a caravan of cars in a Georgia National Park, a Bigfoot going for a zagnut candy bar in North Carolina, a series of Bigfoot howls in the Oregon woods at night, a rabbit being stalked by a sasquatch in Washington, a Bigfoot breaching a laser parameter line in Alaska. Do you see where I am going with this? Is it really this easy Matt? Or is cashing the check the easy part? I find research to be very frustrating from a technical and scientific standpoint. The methodology can never be figured out.  I had a response that I posted on the thread:

"I am an Independent "skunk ape" field researcher from Florida, and find the work frustrating. It is getting difficult to use even some basic scientific methods in my work. For example, I am unable to repeat anything I have found or experience observation of any kind.
I have found footprints of different sizes. I have gone back for months into the same area and never found anymore prints. I can't tell you how frustrating this is to me. I have recorded howls at night that don't match anything I am familiar with. (It could be a sick animal, for example). Again, I cannot get another recording of said animal.
Forget about a sighting, I have some videos that show motion but only in wide angle with extreme loss of resolution when blown up. Sightings are reported in Florida all the time and I go to these areas with not much luck.
Frustration is no reason to give up on anything in life. But when I see the BFRO making money "hoaxing" on the Finding Bigfoot show when they seem to find something every time they go out....I cringe. That is not possible folks.
If Bigfoot exist, it is extremely rare and has an ability to elude man which is unknown to any other animal. Perhaps trail cams would, in the long run, yield more evidence. That is the direction many researchers have now taken, and where I am headed."...Tim Fasano

The BFRO seems to think that there is plenty of evidence...it is just how you measure and gauge such stuff.

 The assertion that there is absolutely no physical evidence is absolutely false. There is more physical evidence than most people realize. Physical evidence is found every month in various areas across the country. Distinct tracks that do not match other animal tracks, hairs that match each other but no known wild animals, and large scats that could not be made by any known species, are all "physical evidence."

MUFON meeting with Bigfoot researchers

Teri and Kevin are great friends of mine and I do Bigfoot research with them. They ate also UFO investigators, and usr their objective approach in field research. We should be working Wednesday when a little cold front will be moving across Florida.

Old growth forest at Dames Caves

When we were in the Withlacoochee State forest, I noticed how old is much of the forest. Logging does not seem to have affected this area. However, I am sure some went on decades ago. I was very peaceful and quite on our hike out to Dames Caves. This is the time of year I really enjoy for in a couple months, it will be way to hot and buggy to get out here.

Withlacoochee State Forest Bigfoot hunt Citrus track

George and I had an opportunity to take off for the Citrus Track of the Withlacoochee State forest. I did not want to miss this chance. So I loaded up the car with camping gear and headed out to the location George had secured at the Holder Mine area on the north end. After a two hour drive, I met up with George on this Friday night. 

We gathered firewood, then, headed out on one of the forest roads for mile at sunset. George thought he saw something and we stopped to investigate.

George and I headed out on the fire road

What is cool, is unlike other places, in here you can drive your own vehicle on a network of roads within 155,000 acres of land. It is almost endless in scope. The sun was setting and it was very nice just from that aspect. At one point, George thought he saw something and we stopped to investigate.

George does see something

The old growth forest goes for miles. It is thick, cool, and spooky

We grabbed out gear and jumped out of the truck. By using the golden hour of the sunset, we got some awesome shots. The truth is it was Friday night and I would not have wanted to be anywhere else. We wold continue until dark, then, go back to camp. We had a good night and next day ahead of us and I was excited.

George is determined to find the Skunk Ape

George has been scouting this area for twenty years

A few miles ahead there was a cave formation that we investigated and I did find prints. You will have to see the video after I get it up on YouTube. Stay tuned.
