"According to scientist Ranae Holland, host of the Animal Planet show Finding Bigfoot, Washington is the scene of more Sasquatch sightings than any other state. While the legendary creature’s existence has yet to be confirmed—Holland herself has yet to encounter one—what we do know is that Bigfoot mythology looms large in our state, from roadside chainsaw carvings to the annual Bigfoot Conference, which takes place in Kennewick from August 31 to September 2. We asked Holland for her tips on how to conduct a proper search for the elusive hominid beast.

1. Follow the History. Plan your search for areas where most reported sightings occur: wooded settings in Pierce County and in the Cascade foothills.

2. Dress for a Deep Forest Hike. Bring a headlamp, bug spray and good hiking gear so you can comfortably follow any leads. Such clues could include tracks, hair, nesting sites and things like split trees; Bigfoot believers say tree damage indicates Bigfoot territory.

3. Stop and Listen. Beyond visual cues, listen for Bigfoot “vocalizations.” Sasquatch speech is said to sound like, well, Chewbacca: a mix between a bear growl and human yell.

4. Leave the Perfume at Home. It is believed that Sasquatch has a very strong sense of smell, so limit strong odors to keep yourself as undetectable as possible and gain maximum tracking potential.

5. Set Out at Night. Sasquatch is believed to be more active in the dark.

6. Use the Buddy System. Teaming up with another person is smart and more fun; and two sets of eyes expand the range of your survey.

7. Record Your Observations. If you happen to encounter Bigfoot, stay calm, keep your distance and try to avoid confrontation. Snap a photo. After the creature passes, describe your encounter or sketch what you saw in a field journal. Check the area for hair and other evidence, and report your findings to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, a virtual community that bills itself as “the only scientific research organization exploring the Bigfoot/Sasquatch mystery.” And consider yourself lucky!"
 
The plural to Bigfoot is Bigfoot, like Blackfoot, trout, salmon, bass, sheep, etc. It's called a mass noun.

Noooooo I was thinking the Sahara would be a good starting point

Dress for a Deep Forest Hike

So snorkel and flippers are out?

Sasquatch speech is said to sound like,a mix between a bear growl and human yell

Never heard it. Any chance of a link? And I'm guessing here and calling any recordings produced the listener will have to be very charitable to call it speech

It is believed that Sasquatch has a very strong sense of smell

Might like Canal No 5

Moving on

I'd like to add some important tips in the search for Bigfoot

Carry a copy of the days newspaper so you can get Bigfoot to hold it. Proof of life

Few spare litres of water. Make a wet patch on the ground and get Bigfoot to do a Neil Armstrong footprint. Be sure to take a plaster cast

Thought bubble - why didn't NASA think of that???

Selfie, gotta have a selfie

Glad to have helped

Only the accused, in this instance, is Bigfoot, who has allegedly been wandering around a Michigan property for more than a decade, shape-shifting and eating pizza.

On Saturday, a 52-year-old Breckendridge, Mich. man came to the Midland law enforcement center armed with evidence, including photo albums, empty food containers, dirt and alleged Bigfoot scat, to ask for help verifying the existence of the mythical creature, according to a report from the Midland County Sheriff's Office.

So you can see I could do amazing things for Oregon. Bigfoot won't come out and talk to anybody? He'll talk to me. More than anybody who has ever run for president, I know Bigfoot. I was on a talk show with Bigfoot — the network begged me to come on — and he's a good guy, although not as smart or good-looking as I am.

Between you and me, even my feet are bigger, although the media won't tell you that.

I would give the Northwest what it's never had, a winning Bigfoot policy. We've got a Bigfoot policy put together by losers, a Bigfoot policy run by people with small feet and smaller IQs. I could bring Bigfoot out by offering him a free week at a Trump hotel. Nobody would refuse that, because Trump hotels are the greatest places in the world.

Kind of related : Is legal to shoot Bigfoot?

I recently re-read The Swiss Family Robinson. It was amusing - or maybe horrifying - to notice that when they encountered any form of life, their standard procedure was to shoot it and then identify it.
