Bigfoot researchers or trackers or whatever you call them have to be some of the dumbest people there are. I remember about 2-3 years ago a bunch of them rushed to a small town in the upper peninsula in Michigan that my family owns a cottage in because people reported seeing large prints in the snow. All they had to do was be familiar with snow or ask any of the locals (who all made fun of them non stop) because when snow melts any prints in them expand .
It's like bigfoot hunters refuse to look for obvious explanations for events they want to classify as "Squatch activity". The ghost hunters do this as well.

It's unintentional comedy at it's finest. Sorta like Championship "Rasslin". I was honored to serve as the GM for the Marina Civic Center in Panama City from 1983-1989. After getting the wave of the hand from the City Manager, I brought in "rasslin" once a month to help augment the revenue stream for the building - we made good money on concessions boyo - lotta beer 'n popcorn! After a bit I got to be sorta friends with the promoter. "Theater of the Absurd" he quipped with a smile on his face. "The best entertainment besides NASCAR for the "Potato People".
Potato People? I asked. Yes he said, just look at 'em. Look at this guy! He was about 6'8", 300lbs+, belly as big around as an giant beer keg, splotchy skin, a "chaw" tucked firmly in cheek , blue overalls at least several decades in age, and a red hat so old and worn out the logo was indistinct. Mama was in a tent dress, weighed just a bit less than pops, two kids - both with multi-colored hair about 25 years before it became a fashion statement. They sported a full set of teeth if you allowed the count to include all four of 'em. This was typical of the gen pop of our attendance. There was this one - very elegantly dressed African American Gentleman, who graciously tipped his cap to me on his way in. As the first match started, he would stand on his chair, and scream "You DUM-DUM, You DUM-DUM, You DUM-DUM, over and over and over again for the entire card.
Needless to say, I had to have extra off-duty Police and Fire Marshall security on hand, as there were multiple fist-fights, necessary restraint of drunk patrons trying to climb in the ring to accost the scantily clad card girls - all of who were "augmented" and had most of THEIR teeth. Sometimes we had to deal with a conflagration in the stands, when a disgruntled patron would set fire to their program or pants, in high dudgeon when their favorite was "unmasked". Saturday nights in ole PC were sometimes very interestin'. I'm sure Sasquatch or at least his cousin was hanging out somewhere on the premises.

Well............thank you sir, I guess. Every word is true. I never had trouble with volunteers from the PCPD or the Fire Chief's office when rasslin was on the schedule. Apparently there was a long line of extra duty signees for this. The best gig for the cops, was guard on the Ring Girls dressing rooms. Sometimes two men were needed, or so my uniformed friends told me.
The worst, was when we brought in the Royal Lippizan Stallions (Dressage) exhibition (a sad event if there ever was - Napoleans on white/grary horses trotting around and crapping on my floor). We had to have a armed guard on the horse trailers/corral/saddle prep area. The guys usually designated a rookie that thought entirely too much of himself for that station.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. The aroma of equine fertilizer for about 4 hours.
There's more (even some nekkid stories) but I sense my audience is gettin' bored by now.
