The one thing you may not have it with you is camping, but pretty much every other instance you’d have your phone with you.

And you don’t need cell phone/wi-fi service to take a photo or get video. If the bigfoot is that quick then it’s either really really fast or it’s paranormal.

If I saw a bigfoot and it wasn’t chasing me, the first thing I’d do is get out my camera and snap a photo.

However, it sounds like the show felt what they were leaving out wasn’t important, not realizing that it’s potentially damaging the reputation of the cast. I’m not saying the cast wasn’t playing into it at somepoints and that’s expected for the show, but MM seems to be saying the producers are doing this too much.

Personally, I’d like for the show to include MM and cast’s explanation of what they thought it was and why, especially if it wasn’t a bigfoot. That’s kind of why I started watching the show.

I’m about to watch the encore of the season 2 premiere in a bout a half hour or less and I hope the show includes this as I know MM wants it in the show.

The thing with the producers is they think they know what the viewers wants – WITHOUT checking with the viewers. So I see where MM is coming from. The problem is if Moneymaker doesn’t constantly get in the producers ear, or the producers feel its not a necessity to the show, he isn’t going to get his way. I hope the producers do listen to him though.

IF Finding Bigfoot has actually been renewed, (I’ve emailed Animal Planet for an official confirmation and network ranking) I sincerely hope that the contracts have been renegotiated to the point that the BFRO team has much more creative control and final say over the editing process. If you signed on again without doing these two things (at minimum) you will deserve any and all fall out you get.

My personal feelings regarding MM aside, I hope he does realized how much of his reputation as a professional is at stake here. He is quickly falling into Biscardi territory and he is dragging the reputation of BFRO with him. Before this show aired I was more than happy to take the reports on BFRO at face value, assuming they had been vetted in a reasonable and skeptic matter, that only those that could be proven were entered into the data base (or at the very least, those which could be proven to be something else were excluded).

After 3 episodes of this show I wouldn’t trust anything on the BFRO site as there only litmus seems to be ‘what does Matt think’ and ‘everything is a squatch unless the Pope himself has proof otherwise and hand delivers the evidence to me while wearing his funny hat’. (yes, I heard what he said about editing, but MOST people won’t read that, will they. They will simply point and laugh at the Scooby Gang – and yes, Renae is compared to Velma on numerous occasions). Basically all this show has done so far is make a mockery out of any good and decent work the BFRO may have done, everything in their data pool is now suspect. And that is a horrible thing.

Cliff Barackman really has gone out of his way to do damage control on many of these episodes. BFRO may, as a professional organization, want to do the same. I don’t care if they use MM, Cliff, Ranae, Bobo or some other spokesperson from their group but they should host a weekly ‘Behind the Scenes’ or ‘What Really Happened’ series to spin some of this negativity to their benefit.

Because sadly, right now the lot of them are looking like fools running around in the woods claiming everything they see, smell and hear is a Sasquatch and that isn’t fair to those members of the Bigfoot community that are truly trying to find evidence and fight the good fight.

Why don’t you take the money you get from your paid Bigfoot searches and all of the equipment and use all of your connections you say you have and do a private film and produce it and film it yourself and then sell it to the networks and you will have more creative control.

It just seems that we the Pubic/watchers of your show are only giving little snip-its of the videos or pictures to draw us into watch it and then when we do, all we get is the green night vision of Bobo calling or you acting like an A$$ and believing that every sound is a squatch.

I would also like you to not distrust people so much when they tell you of their sightings. Like the guys in Georgia who were back in the woods and had one standing over the top of them on ledge. You said that they were describing something not characteristically like a bigfoot, and that it was not a bigfoot or that they were lying. Some animals have deformities, and diseases happen that can make them appear different. I was hiking one time and came upon a mountain lion that was almost all black, never seen one before like that. Things happen in nature that can not be explained and sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction.
