BFRO Member Jim Sherman Joins Speakers At Milwaukee Para-Con
June 6th, 2015 - The Milwaukee Paranormal Conference at the Irish Cultural and Heritage Center
This upcoming paranormal conference will be featuring an extremely wide range of topics and guest speakers including BFRO member Jim Sherman. Sherman will be discussing the challenges involved in collecting bigfoot evidence. This even is going to be a good one, and is free for the whole family.
Jim Sherman is a High School history teacher, track and cross country coach, triathlete, father and an investigator with the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO). He has done background research for Animal Planet’s television series Finding Bigfoot and even appeared on the “Super Yooper” episode. He currently organizes expeditions for the BFRO all the while maintaining remote recording stations throughout Michigan. His early interest in cryptozoology, including a random trip to Loch Ness, was heightened by a frightening experience he had while camping in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in 1990.
Jim’s research will be featured in a book due this June called Monster Hunters by Tea Krulos. Jim is currently working on his own book detailing his experiences searching for Sasquatch.
Jim’s contribution to Sasquatch data involves audio captures that he makes available to the public and research oriented videos that he produces to demonstrate evidence collection techniques.

FIRST! HOOOOOWWDY!!
ReplyDeleteIf anyone would like to scare the willies out of themselves tonight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lLsDmZ7WKU
DeleteMastiffs vs. dogman anyone? Wonder who won? Also the damn thing snuck into her house by coming through the dog door in the middle of the night. Sigh. Its a good one.
Evening Chick,
DeleteNice first and a big howdy back at you.
Hi Chick! Thanks for the link. I listen to it when daylight comes again. Uno!
DeleteBoiling hot turd soup
ReplyDeleteAre you a chef by chance?
DeleteGordon Ramsay?
DeleteI;m a doctor by trade by i've also been known to dabble on the fine culinary arts. I hope anon could share his recipe for that particular soup
DeleteSounds like a 5 star dish. :o
Delete...I'm an astronaut by trade...Captain Kirk, believe it or don't...
DeleteOMG The hunting guy is destroying the cowardly bigfoot dog bullshiters on the previous thread. I'm glad he's back. He is the king of respectful ass kicking skeptics. Vote hunting guy.
ReplyDeleteHe sure has answered my questions and I am now more convinced than ever that IF such a creature existed it could be tracked with trained dogs. But there is always an out - always an excuse - always a reason why they cannot be tracked down . . . except in the case of their beloved Falcon Project of course.
DeleteHe went on a so called expedition, but he killed their bf. Turned out to be a coyote. I would believe his answers because they make sense, and they make the excuses seem so stupid.
DeleteWhat amuses me is some of the advocates seem to know everything about them - their habits, their abilities, what they eat, how big they are, why they can't be caught and so on. You would almost think they were describing a known animal! No matter what technique is used there will always be a reason why it failed. But when all else fails play the paranormal card - whoosh . . vanished in thin air!
DeleteYes that is what I can't understand either. I have years of Hunting and dog training experience under my belt, but an expert, I'm still learning. How does one become an expert on something admittedly never studied up close? How would you learn somethings habits, if finding it's whereabouts is impossible? What does it take to become a BF expert, Self proclamation? Tree knocking to lure something claimed to be so elusive and timid to detection? Deer are elusive and generally timid, next time you see one take a big limb and smack a big oak. Betcha you don't see him for awhile. Come on guys, I'm an interested skeptic but dogs afraid of the very scent. If it's out there some day it will be caught, and some of these crazy stories will make some hide their expert faces I'm afraid. Respectfully, HG
DeleteWell said once again hunting guy.
DeleteI'm beginning to believe some don't want it caught - so they can continue to be "experts" and have gullible people look up to them. I even suspect many of those realize it's only a myth already. It has almost turned into a religion and like religion some use it for profit.
DeleteYea, and some have no soul, not just greed. I spoke to Rick Dyer personally face to face a year or so ago. He hadn't admitted his latest lie yet. He swore on the life and soul of his children, and with more than just me present, to his dead BF. People need to look at some of these leading researchers a little closer before parading them around and throwing money their way. The folks I went out with truly believe, but so much they see and hear BF everywhere. BF sounds like coyotes, well if it sounds like a coyote how do you know it's not a coyote? They said it's a different pitch, I killed the different pitched coyote BF. It weighed about 50lbs and was crossed with grey wolf, not BF. While I was calling and it answered, it was BF, when I shot it, it became a different animal that I killed, the BF ran away. This is what makes me so skeptical. HG
DeleteHouston we have a problem...
DeleteHow in the world would you "catch one ?
...And with all of the hoaxing going on...could you really pull the trigger on a furry man-like thing running thru the woods ?
Hey, your right about the trigger pulling brother. But around here, it would take a suicidal maniac to walk around the woods in a suit. Everybody hunts, everybody is heavily armed, Hell my daughter qualified as sharp shooter at age 16 at the KY HWP range. You talking about asking to die, Hoax around these MTN's and lead poisoning will be your disease. HG
DeleteThat is exactly a point I have brought up and I have always thought it was a possibility that some damn fool will put a bullet into a distant figure thinking it was a bigfoot. That is why I think tracking dogs would be the perfect solution if they exist. I wouldn't think a bigfoot could outpace some determined dogs trained for that purpose.
DeleteOh yeah - the "experts" say bigfoot is a world class athlete and will leave the dogs in dust. He escapes once again!
Well, they say, but speed doesn't win the day. If he smells they chase, he'll tire some time and the dogs have GPS. and don't tire for days. A Cobra 2 runs 180 but out of fuel, it's parked. Dogs period, cast hounds. I'll bet anybody 10g's mine won't cower. Take my money, but don't forget yours. HG
DeleteI'm betting on you (and the dogs).
DeleteWhat would you do if you found it at the end of the trail...kill it or what ?
DeleteSafe bet brother, I know about 100 g's more that will bet on my dogs if the bet were called. You can't rent mine, but they do what I ask them to. Most people have never seen dogs that won't eat until told to eat. They never let me down. Most people wouldn't believe a man named Obe Corey took 15inch beagles and treed 100 mtn lions in the south west, but he did. He won a lot of money on the bravery and loyalty of his little tiny hounds. His book on the trail hounds is still required reading for houndsmen. Dogs don't fear big and bad, if they did the wild dogs of Africa would all starve instead of being the world's most efficient predator. DOGS, not lions. If he makes a track, a good dog will run the hair off him. HG
DeleteI'd settle for a decent photo at this point. But for science sake, flopping his body onto Wolf Blitzer's desk on live TV is running a close second.
DeleteI would not kill it under any possible scenario. I would however get solid proof. Blood, Real video, and I would attempt to dart it. Then I would spend the rest of my life protecting it. HG
DeleteWell, this could be the ultimate hunt for you HG.
DeleteYou're going to make a great footer !
Well, I would love to put a dog to track and realize it was truly a BF. I think it would def be the greatest of all hunts. Then to prove and release it, and never reveal the location. What could be cooler? HG
DeleteMight try hunting them in the day time.
DeleteWorked for Patterson.

DeleteThe inherent problem with trained dogs to track a Sasquatch, is that you simply need a fundamental human element. If you can't find a Sasquatch track, then you can't give the trained dogs the start required.
Delete"These recordings later became the subject of a year-long University of Wyoming-based engineering study to determine their authenticity and to understand the nature of the vocalizations relative to those of humans and other primates. The results of that study were published by the University of British Columbia Press in 1980 in ?Manlike Monsters on Trial,? an anthology of professional papers presented at a 1978 UBC-sponsored symposium entitled Anthropology of the Unknown. The study concluded that the unusual vocalizations were primate in origin, and that at least one of the voices exceeded normal human ranges. Although the study did not rule out the possibility of human source, it established that the vocalizations were spontaneous at the time of recording and that there was no evidence of pre-recording or re-recording at altered tape speed."
Now... This was a published study. Google the effects of ultrasound on canines, it's very interesting indeed.
There are no experts on Sasquatch, and anyone claiming to be should be taken with a pinch of salt. Maintaining something that has scientific backing is not legitimate, without presenting a single equivalent case to dismiss this, merely on the aspect of FAITH... Is as belief based and religious like as you can ever point to. To suggest that thousands of years of cultural and contemporary reports that transition into examples of physical evidence is void of any worth is a bigger leap of faith than anything you can reference... And is quite simply a dogmatic view on events... Religion, religion, religion.
Pop culture will make people react like that HG, quite a funny read, I have to say. Good to see you post, don't stay away too long next, your insight is appreciated.
It's not a matter of conjuring a scenario where Sasquatch are "athletes", should this creature exist (and it undoubtedly does in my opinion) then it's simply common sense. More gray matter in humans means more motor neurons and having more motor neurons means more muscle control. Our surplus motor neurons allow us to engage smaller portions of our muscles at any given time. We can engage just a few muscle fibers for delicate tasks like threading a needle, and more for tasks that require more force. Since chimps have fewer motor neurons, each neuron triggers a higher number of muscle fibers and using a muscle becomes more of an all-or-nothing proposition. As a result, chimps often end up using more muscle than they need, but they can in theory lift about 16 people over their own head;

... Imagine what a primate three times the size of a chimp could achieve? They would have phenomenal strength and stealth abilities to be clear gone before we would even know they were there, a trained dog or even a few would have trouble chasing down something like that... Not saying they couldn't do it with the persistence HG references, but an creature with athletic abilities is in fact an understatement. Throwing something out because it doesn't fit your expectations of something whose existence you don’t even think is credible, isn't very good logic.

DeleteThe only people who don't want anything of the sort caught are those who are of the theory that it is a very rare and special creature to have accomplished what it has for this long, and those, like you 8:32, who fill their shorts at the thought of taking the trash out at night.
For every accusation of "gullible people", one can reference the extent that idiots like you are so seemingly reassured by any "excuse" for not considering consistent science. Pseudo-science is a claim, belief or practice which is falsely presented as scientific, but does not adhere to a valid scientific method, cannot be reliably tested, or otherwise lacks scientific status... This is true of every angle that your worshipped theory group can muster which is already above your intelligence to understand, but STILL doesn't present a means of supported data as anything that stands up against consistent scientific method in verifying the evidence that simply wouldn't be there is this topic was a myth.
And like "opium for the masses", your religion provides you with a little peace of mind... Until tomorrow night when the trash has gotta go out.
Thank you for your comments Reverend Joe/lktomi. You may lead the choir in song now.
DeleteI'm not the one peddling Scientism, dear boy.
DeleteJust horsesh*t.
DeleteThe chief cleric rears his head.
DeleteI even think I won't even be making to this even.
