Speaking as a naturalist who knows to be aware of body language as well as other signs animals give to indicate temprament and "scratch your face off" status it would be nice to see people not act like idiots when theuy go looking for Bigfoot/Sasquatch evidence.
They have heard of single wood knocks so they try it.
They have heard of double wood knocks so they try it.
They have heard of triple wood knocks so they try it.
If -IF- wood knocks are a way that these hominids communicate then you need to know what the wood knocks indicate. They could mean "Stinking humans -everyone stay back" or even "I challenge you!". Leave the wood knocks alone until you understand what they mean.
They hear that Bigfoot/Sasquatch can reply to calls made imitating their own. Well, kiddoes -same as with the wood knocks. You DO NOT know what the calls signify.
Call blasting.... oh boy. The "Sierra call" or any other recording blasted out into the night is really asking for trouble. Is it a threat to intruders? A challenge? I do not care what Bobo, Cliff Barackman (who I have respect for) say or any other one of these people. Until you know the meaning of calls just cut it out.
Based on some of the reactions from some alleged Bigfoot/Sasquatch to most of the above it is quite clear they should be stopped. Observe, listen, gather evidence and stop trying to copy. I met a British Army trooper once who gave a perfect example. There was a real blow hard he knew and this man was causing nothing but problems for the platoon. One day he said he was going out on the town and wanted some German phrases. So, they told him when he went intop a bar to say "hello, Barman" you said in German: "Hallo, Scheiss" and if you wanted casual conversation with someone at the bar say "Hallo. Ich wollen dein frau ----"
He did not understand the words but used them.
In the morning the platoon were told Mr Blow hard was in hospital with concussion and a broken jaw.
ALWAYS know what you arew communicating. From what I am told a large, hairy hominid can snap a 6 feet tall pro wrestler like a dry twig.
