To quote Mulder on the X-files The truth is out there.
At some point we as seekers of the truth must look at two posibilities. 1) The creature exists but with fragments of hair, stool samples, foot prints, the occasional physical evidence it creates, and the photos and film footage, this will be the only thing to verify the creature's existance. or 2) Go out and bring one in dead or alive which in itself is a risky proposition. It will not go with us quietly dead or tranquilized.
What do we do?
It is worth the time and the effort to persue this elusive hominid but yet do we endanger the very creature we want to prove that it lives within feet, yards, or meters from our homes, our farms, our cabins, and I dare say our schools?
Yes it is worth it. If we approach this scientifically and with the right equipment we can have the evidence.
The Bhutan expedition was the logical way of gaining the evidence needed without harming us or the creature in the process. But in the end a body a corpus delecti is needed.
Peter Byrnes proceedures were correct hunt by stealth. Know the environs it haunts, study its patterns by looking at the sightings in and around the area of your focus, and get there as soon as possible with the minimum of disturbance to the area.
What the Monkey Hunters down in Texas was wrong in my eyes and some here, all they did was drive the bfs out of the area, maybe for good.
If we approach them like a deer hunter stalking, learning, and understanding we can achieve some measure of success than the blurry pictures, excited undisciplined hunters, and one or two plaster casts of footprints.
