Oyster River Area Research

The BCSO is continuing investigations in higher areas due to the retreating snow . We are targeting areas which we have been unable to access in previous months due to heavy snow .
The area we chose for this investigation is in close proximity to other evidence we have collected .
This investigation turned up 4-tracks , two were measured ,both were 19"long ,1-right  and 1-left . heel width on both tracks were 5.5" . ball width measurement of both tracks were 8" . The stride measuring heel to heel was 83 " and finally the depth of imprint was approx 3"deep .
Josh and myself both weigh approx 200lbs and our foot imprint depth was 3/4" in the same soil . Estimation of creatures weight is 800lbs if this math is accurate.
The other 2-tracks were in rough shape and in our opinion not worth paying much attention too.
These tracks were located above the oyster river in a small gravel pit . The tracks were located on the far left hand side of the pit and went up the grade and appeared to disappear as the creature left the pit and headed down into the forest .
Josh and I investigated the forested area around the pit . We followed a very well pronounced animal trail in the direction the tracks were heading finding scuffs along the way but no concrete evidence of any further Sasquatch tracks . We did however find a stick structure which we took several pictures of .
We then crossed a stream and then dropped into a forested valley .
After some investigation in this valley we came across what might have been an old logging or gold mining camp . Approx guess on the age of the camp based on old pieces of metal , oil can and other oddities was maybe the 1930's or 40s .
We then found some oddly busted and placed branches in two different areas around the camp but no further evidence was found.
From start to finish we spent 2hrs and 15 minutes investigating this evidence .

Side notes :
Tracks found at 1:15 pm April 30th/2011,some toe definition , in loose gravel , I'm guessing there was some sliding(dragging) in tracks , guessing actual size of foot to be 17" in length .Age of tracks 1 to 2 days .
Winds calm .
Temperature +13
Mainly clear with some cloud cover .
Observations in this area ; some other vehicles travelling the roads , kids shooting guns about 1.5 to 2klm from this pit .
Trail cam set up to take video , placement is between tracks found and stick structure .

Mt Sicker Update :

I have made contact with a group of people who have been doing continued research on and around Mt Sicker near Duncan B.C.
They have reported some unidentified pictures and other evidence . They have been doing research in this area as recently as mid april/2011 .
Interest on and around Mt Sicker heated up when the BFRO released a report last summer (2010) which included a sighting , vocals and tracks found on a follow-up investigation .
The BCSO is planning another investigation (possibly a joint investigation )on Mt Sicker in the near future. Our findings will be posted as soon as our investigation has been completed .

Sasquatch Summit : Dr John Bindernagel

The Discovery of the Sasquatch .

The Discovery of the Sasquatch offers important insights not only about a potentially uncataloged species, but also about the humans who have thus far declined to investigate it. Bindernagel's scholarship unlocks a door to discovery that was carelessly shut long ago, but now stands wide open, waiting for us to walk through. http://www.beachcomberbooks.com/discovery/about.html
