There have been a few posts on ATS about
www.bigfoottracker.com... and their claims of having a Bigfoot corpse in their possession. I looked in
to it a little further and it's quite clear that this is a hoax and a money making scam. I'm sure that any thinking person would agree with that.
That being said, I read up on the "Expedition's" that they advertise on their website. Let's take a look at exactly what you get for your $500
dollar fee.
The following is from the "Expedition and Rules" section of their website:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fee and condition
The Fee is $499 4 Day trip, this includes pick up and drop off from Atlanta Airport and or Forest Park, GA to our Expedition Site (Our 15 passenger
van has air, 2 TV's and DvD), One M.R.E. (meal ready to eat) and two Power Bars perday and water that you must carry.
You bring your own camping gear or rent ours: Tent, Pack, Night Vision, ECT. Remember, we hike from 10-20 miles in deep woods for 4 days and sleep in
tents in the middle of no where.......no coming out for Burger King.......
Restrictions
Age Limits
18 and up
15 - 17 with an adult.....if you can drive you can track
No one 14 and under
No Pets - If we have to use the Blood Hounds for tracking, domestic pets could contaminate the track.
Weapons
We have everything, you'll need to be 100% safe, our trackers are always armed..(It's more unsafe to go deep in the woods with nothing, this day and
age.
10 person limit (how can you track with 45 people.)
Book now and be apart of history........................

Well, where do we begin? After the horrible grammar and spelling I guess we can begin with the wonderful ride from the airport.
You are whisked to the woods in a luxury fifteen passenger van (with air) to your Bigfoot hunting destination. Feel free to watch "Deliverance" or
"The Hills have Eyes" on one of the televisions as they drive you to the forest..
When you arrive at your destination, enjoy a scrumptious M.R.E. and/or Power Bar as you wait for the hillbillies...uh I mean guides... to get the
smell hounds ready. However, don't eat your whole M.R.E yet, remember you only get one "perday". Also, don't forget, "There ain't no Burger
King when you huntin Bigfeets in the woods".
If you didn't bring your own gear don't worry. The guides can provide you with everything you need...for a nominal fee. I'm sure the previously
used gear is in great condition and you'll be made quite comfortable.
Provided your child is over fourteen, Bigfoot Trackers offers a kid friendly expedition. Your fifteen year old son or daughter is welcome, however I
think daughters are preferred. There is no guarantee that someone won't call child protective services on you though for exposing your kid to
this.
No pets. You might throw the smell hounds off if you bring your pansy city dog with you.
That brings us to weapons. They are loaded for bear (or Bigfoot) at Bigfoot Tracker Expeditions. They keep you and your family safe when your
tracking Bigfeets. You never know what kind of creeps you might run in to in the woods....or at the airport in a van for that matter.
All joking aside, this is a hoax, scam, ripoff, by a few jerks looking to take advantage of people.
Let's look at the numbers for a second. They take ten people once a month at 500 bucks per person (more if they rent their crappy gear) at basically
no overhead. That's $5000 a month, $60,000 a year, for four days of hiking through the woods per month. Not bad if you ask me.
I could see if this was some sort of top notch expedition, but it's not. These guys are giving you a couple of Power Bars, an M.R.E. and some water.
I'd be willing to bet they are using their dad's van to pick the people up from the airport. What a joke.
I'm sure these guys laugh like hell every time they drop people back off at the airport after the "expedition". My question is, are they paying
insurance to run these "expeditions"? My guess is they aren't. You think they are paying taxes on the money they collect from these suckers?
Someone ought to look in to it and maybe make a few calls.
