Mt Sicker Night Time Investigation

This is the BCSO's  ( British Columbia Sasquatch Organization ) 2nd investigation on Mt Sicker.
Both investigations we have done were sparked by a report which was given to the BFRO ( Bigfoot Field Research Organization ) Which included a visual sighting , possible vocals and tracks .
Our first investigation was done during daylight hours and turned up some interesting finds.
Our follow-up investigation was done during the night as the Sasquatch is reported by many to be a nocternal animal and many encounters are purported to have taken place during night time hours ( including my encounter ) .
I would also like to thank our newest BCSO team member Cory for his input and help during this investigation.
The following is from the BCSO log :
Josh , Cory and I arrived at the base of Mt Sicker at 5:35 pm,Sat,Oct 30/10 .
Weather conditions at 5:35 pm : Temp +9 , cloudy , raining , windy and extremely foggy .
We started our investigation from the Mt Sicker road entrance , we first stopped and checked for tracks at the dirt pile we found possible track during our first investigation , no additional evidence was found .
We moved around the mountain struggling to see with the extreme fog we encountered through most of our investigation .
We arrived at the Mt Sicker mine area at 6:50 pm trying to spot light with little luck due to the fog ,we decided to stop and try some sound blasting which turned up no replies.Moving past the mine we drove for aprox 2 to 3klm where we decided to stop and again do some sound blasting , this turned up no replies.
We spent much of our time checking the roads for fresh tracks as the rain softened the ground and made it very easy to see if an animal had stepped onto the road.
At 7:32 pm while spotlighting we found a 2" round snapped tree which looked rather odd so we stopped to investigate . Observations made : No tracks noticed around tree.Tree was 2" round in diamiter , measurement taken: 49" from ground to break , adjacent tree 6" round with a section of bark peeled , measurement taken: 76 1/4" from ground to start of peel , 2nd measurement taken: from ground to top of peel 90 1/4 " ,3rd measurement taken : total length of peel 14" . 4th measurement taken : width of peeled section 2".Also noticed 1/8" gashes in peeled section along with some pine branches piled together at base of tree. Possible suspects for the peeled bark most likely an elk or deer rubbing its antlers against tree .( pictures taken )
We then made our way to the area known as the "Plantation",here we tried some sound blasting and wood knocking both turned up no replies.
Fog started to break at about 10:30 pm eventually disapating by 11pm ,this gave us an appurtunity to do some spotlighting which throughout our investigation didn't turn up more then 6 deer ,we found this a little odd due to the previous investigations we have done at night always turning up numerious deer especially in recently logged areas. Not sure, maybe the Cowichan valley lacks a high deer population?
We spent a couple more hours peridically stopping at different areas to sound blast , wood knock and spotlight.
We then drove hill 60 for sometime stopping at a heavily wooded area to set up our night vision camera.
we monitored our camera from the vehicle for sometime, this too turned up nothing,it was at 2:30am that our second investigation ended at Mt Sicker.
This investigation turned up very little due to the extreme weather conditions we faced. The fog allowed us to see very little while the wind and rain didn't allow us to hear very clearly for responses to our sound blasting and wood knocking.
On the plus side we were able to try our night vision for the first time in the field as well as the audio feed coming from the camera .It was also Cory's first field investigation and I feel he was an asset to our research.
The BCSO is planning a 3rd Investigation to Mt Sicker before the new year , this investigation will cover some of the areas already investigated as well as some new areas we found during this investigation. It will be a daytime investigation.

Additional notes:
Start time : 5:35pm
finish time : 2:30am
Temp at 5:35pm +9 , fog , cloudy , rain , windy
Temp at 10pm +8 , fog , cloudy , rain , windy
Temp at 2:30am +7 , no fog , clearing , no rain , slight breeze

This search had an eerie feel due to the heavy fog which stuck around for much of the investigation .
Throughout our search we tried numerious times to take pictures only to have the fog distort many of them.
