Monster-Hunting Tips
Posted by: Nick Redfern on August 10th, 2012

How’s about monster-hunting for a career? If you’re up for it, here’s how to do it!”

I would have been the kid that would have jumped all over cryptozoology if I thought I could have made even a meager living at it. As it was, while my university had a zoology department, I never saw anything even close–should have gone into marine biology too–thought about it, but very little courses available in the great state of Iowa and I apparently wasn’t motivated enough to move to the coasts…
