• Q: If I come to one of your events can you guarantee I'll see a Bigfoot?
  A: Unfortuantly, we can not guarantee you'll see a Bigfoot or have an encounter. However, between our experienced field guides and hand selected research areas the chances of having an encounter are much better. Each year we ussually have at least one team who has a sighting or encounter.
