the greenheads in the pond behind my house tend to be handsome strong silent types, while their little brown hens can be raucous at times. However, I judge that my Indian Heaven quacker, whatever it was, had to use a significant pair of lungs to aspirate so much air. I dont recall any of my local ducks that I feed from the back deck as sounding so dang enormous.
I am returning to that same scene next Friday night, bringing more & better bait, also planning to mount the thermal imager right away. I try to remember to signal being harmless with Robert Morgan's open-hands gesture, several times per hour, but it makes me feel foolish, doing that all alone in the woods with no sense of being watched or threatened.
Maybe I will try something different. What do you think of chest pounding, gorilla-style? Might that get an answer? My chest might not sound scarey enough but, to my way of thinking, if it works, then I can cringe later with sincerity. Does anybody know, has it been tried?
Maybe laughter would get a more positive response? Laughter is a universal form of expression among primates. Gorillas, chimps, and orangutangs all laugh and recognize laughter by humans, what about Sasquatch? Has anybody heard a sasquatch laughing, or has anybody drawn a sasquatch towards camp, after dark, with laughter?
Thanks for your replies. I appreciate any wisdom and advice on good manners and respectful behavior towards a sasquatch, and how to prepare good bait. I am leaving in 3 days, wish me well and see you later! -David Mann, Portland.
