Bait

Toby and I were not discouraged by the watermelon. As someone pointed out, maybe the Bigfoot are not accustomed to watermelon and therefore will not find it an interesting snack. This is debatable, but we've decided to move onto other fruit anyway.

Bigfoot are known to eat apples. Others have set apples as bait, such as the BFRO researchers that obtained the Skookum Cast on an expedition in 2000.

Yesterday, we left apples in a variety of locations around the campsite. We left one apple about 100 feet up the creek behind my tent, where I heard branches breaking and rocks moving in the night. Perhaps it is a bit close to the campsite, but we thought we'd give it a shot anyway. We can always set piles of fruit further out next time.

Apple Notes:
- One apple placed on rock up creek from campsite, about 100 feet.
- One apple hanging in tree with special hanging device, about 500 feet from campsite.
- One apple hanging in tree with special hanging device about 650 feet from campsite.

The aforementioned hanging device was constructed so that the Bigfoot could reach up and take a hanging apple while leaving the rope behind. It simulates the activity of picking an apple from a tree. We thought we'd try this, along with apple piles, to see which if any method worked best for attracting Bigfoot.
