Carl Diehl’s Metaphortean Space nicely adds a shiny chrome, intellectually-friendly frame around his insights into “blogsquatching”: An interface is typically designed to make the new domain easier for a “user” to comprehend. When this remediation works, the user is fairly oblivious to the crossing-over that is going on. On the contrary, malfunction typically calls attention to the collision of worlds, maintaining itself as burden on presumed purposes. This sort of dissonance might seem to complicate the credibility of such a thing as “the interface of malfunction.” If there is hesitation…so be it. An experiential and interpretative encounter with this mechanism [...]
Editorial: Bushnell, Wake Up!
Will anyone be killed in the woods? Someone has got to ask the hard question about the $1,000,000 Sasquatch challenge. The Bushnell’s $1,000,000 Sasquatch Photo Challenge may be creative, a great piece of publicity for trail cameras, and gain some potentially intriguing photos. But at what cost? Obviously, the company took the hoaxsters into consideration with this “Bonus Category” add-on in their contest: For all you jokers out there – we’re giving away an additional Bushnell Trail Scout Pro camera for your best attempt to cheat Bushnell out of their $1,000,000 prize. So go grab your gorilla suit and head [...]
Bushnell’s Official Release
Bushnell has directly sent me their official release. This occurred after I had already found and posted this news on Cryptomundo, as I was watching their site. See earlier blogs, please. Nevertheless, I’ll post their release, as well, unedited below. (Note to Bushnell’s panel: I think you need some definition assistance with your “Sasquatch,” “Bigfoot,” and “Yeti” parameters as noted here, and your exclusion of “apes” in the official rules!) ++++++ Find Sasquatch And Win a $1,000,000 And Other Great Gear From Bushnell, Field & Stream Overland Park, KS — Bushnell Outdoor Products and Field & Stream magazine want you [...]
Bushnell Rules: $1,000,000 Sasquatch Photo Challenge
Bushnell has published their rules and press release: Your Chance To Win Gear (and a Million Bucks) By Sending Us Your Trail Cam Photos! We’re not saying we believe in Sasquatch, but if anyone’s ever going to capture an image of one, we’re guessing it’ll be a hunter with a trail camera. That’s why Bushnell is offering a chance at $1,000,000 to the first person using one who snaps a verifiable photo of the beast. But just in case no Bigfoots wander your way, the editors at Field & Stream magazine are giving away great Bushnell gear for the best [...]
Coming Soon: One Million Dollars of Bigfoot Blur?
Recently, I posted about the upcoming contest, “Bushnell: $1,000,000 For Bigfoot Trail Cam Photo.” I noted the outdoors products company Bushnell will soon be offering a million dollars for “a verifiable photo of Sasquatch with your trail camera.” As was mentioned earlier, one of the most famous recent “alleged Bigfoot” photos taken with a Bushnell trail camera was the probable bear image (following) labeled by the media as a “juvenile Sasquatch”: One of the other examples of a possible “trailcam Bigfoot” that I shared was the following one, taken on April 30, 2006, in the Mt. Hood National Forest, near [...]
Men in Cryptozoology: Daniel Perez
Daniel Perez holds a 14.5-inch cast of an alleged Bigfoot track from Bluff Creek in Northern California. May 31, 2008, is Daniel Perez’s 45th birthday. For over two decades, Perez has held a deep interest in Bigfoot, traveling far and wide, moderating conferences, and putting himself right in the middle of debates and personality conflicts. Daniel Perez is a people person. He is as well known for seeking in-depth personal information about the pursuers of hairy unknown hominodis as he is for gathering long-forgotten facts about Bigfoot. Perez is known to many as the “Jerry Springer” of Bigfootry for the [...]
Bushnell: $1,000,000 For Bigfoot Trail Cam Photo
Bigfoot? Please click on the trail cam photograph taken on April 30, 2006, in the Mt. Hood National Forest, near The Dalles, Oregon, for a larger image. (Credit to Klindt Kendall and Dianna Martin.) What is it? Sasquatch? Bear? A person? How important are trail cams? They are having more and more impact in discovering elusive known animals and adding to the enigma of cryptids. One region of the world where trail cams routinely document rare creatures like tigers and rhinos is South Asia. Below is footage released May 29, 2008, of a female Javan rhino from Indonesia’s Ujung Kulon [...]
Dragons: Between Science and Fiction
Opening at the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmondton, Canada, from June 14 through September 14, 2008, is the exciting “Dragons: Between Science and Fiction.”
Bigfoot and YouTube: Worthless Combo?
Are videos at YouTube of any value to the research leading to the solution of the question of Sasquatch reality? Here’s a new video (posted May 28, 2008) from Snowshoe West Virginia, just north of the Widowmaker trail. What does it tell us? Is it even real? Others take and post videos, claiming they aren’t Bigfoot, as with this one: The above video is dated February 2008. The poster at YouTube wrote: “Black Bear we ran into in Olympic National Forest (startled both of us!) walked part of the way on his hind feet….In response to several emails, no, this [...]
Monster Quest I vs MonsterQuest II
How do you think “MonsterQuest” (Season Two) is stacking up against “Monster Quest” (Season One)? First of all, do we even really have any ideas about where Season Two is going? “MonsterQuest” seems to not be as forthright about the complete episode list for Season Two, as one might expect. Either that or they’ve fired their publicist. The list is certainly not been up on their website. Of course, back channel hints of programs on Chupacabras, Giant Squid, Merbeings, Bigfoot, Mystery Bears, and Yeren, have been heard. But the only program schedule shared is the following one, Mega Hog, May [...]
