No doubt there will be many questions this fall when the TIMBERLINE BIGFOOT GROUP gathers for its LAST, organized fall hunt at PAT MAYSE LAKE, north of PARIS, TEXAS.
Why change our hunting area indeed. After all, we've achieved some small degree of sucess hunting this small, undeveloped lake. However, times change and so do attitudes.
After our last fall hunt in OCTOBER of 2008, John David, Deidra Myers, Kevin Crombie and myself began talking about what we've been able to do at PAT MAYSE, and what we've been unable to do.
The lake has had a great deal of attention focused on it since approximatly 2004, when residents of the LAMAR POINT community near the LAMAR POINT campground, and the CLAYS BLUFF area of the lake began reporting to the TBRC encounters with the creatures we commonly refer to as "Bigfoot".
As the years have passed, certain Bigfoot celebrities/sensationalists from the west coast began "investigating" and "researching" the lake after being invited to do so by a local resident and his family and friends.
[All this is past history]
We felt with all the attention focused on this area, that it was time to venture into other areas where we knew the creatures had been sighted and encountered.
For Kev and Deidra there was only one place they had on their mind. BROKEN BOW LAKE, and its surrounding areas. After discussion, John and I agreed that yes...the time had come to abandon PAT MAYSE LAKE for the time being. Let others invest time, money and fuel into the area.
The decision we made has been exciting for the members of the TBG. We've recieved a great deal of positive feedback, and I think we've made the right decision.
For those who have hunted with us in the past i wish to thank you again on behalf of myself and the TBG. To those who had accepted our invitation to attend; and had to withdraw for various reasons...we also wish to thank you for your interest in TBG.
This year, we ARE NOT announcing the dates of our hunt via message boards, blogs, etc. Those friends and colleagues who might wish more information can email us at either timberlinebigfootgroup@yahoo.com, or davidholley@hotmail.com.
Regretably, there are a few researchers and colleagues which we feel that in good conscience we can not extend an invitation to.
We hope those which TBG members contact and extend invitations if possible. we'd love to see all.
It's a good thing you guys are gonna back off that area for a while. It has received a lot of pressure the last few years which makes the animals even more Leary. Sometimes it's good to back off, regroup, and let things cool down a bit. Give them time to regain that sense of security which gives you time to adjust and recalculate. The area you and I discussed recently will be a promising area. It's had absolutely zero pressure which is good in the sense the critters will be a little more bold out of a false sense of security.
Hey TG, sorry about not getting this up any sooner, but my ultra old, and equally ultra slow computer finally cashed in its chips, so I had to get to the ole county library to catch up.
Yeah, I believe the pressure on the critters has been a little too heavy in recent years, and yes... the areas you and I have talked about really do look promising.
In October, we hope to have some of the new equipment we've been looking at, and we're going to try to see how well it functions in the field. It's strange, but now that the group has committed itself to new areas, everyone is excited about our last organized PAT MAYSE HUNT.
