Animal Planet searching for Bigfoot

Looking to end the 100-year old search for the mythical creature, Animal Planet is joining forces with Bigfoot researchers on a new series Finding Bigfoot.
As highlighted in Animal Planet’s upfront presentation and airing on June 5 at 10 pm (ET/PT), the Ping Pong Productions six-part series follows a team of Bigfoot researchers in their cross-country expedition to locate the beast.
The four-person team from the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) goes to locations of alleged Sasquatch sightings to investigate with reconstructions and the latest technology to determine whether they were real or not.
The BFRO team is made up of a former roadie, a science teacher, the BFRO president and a skeptical scientist.
Keith Hoffman is the executive producer for Animal Planet, Brad Kuhlman and Casey Brumels are the executive producers for Ping Pong Productions and Marc Etkind is VP of development for Animal Planet.

I watched the Bigfoot show on Animal Planet 10/31/11. Did I miss the sighting in Little Rock Arkansas in the fall of 1971. It was aired over KKAY or KAAY (don’t remember exactly) on a show called Bleeker Street at night. I remember that night very clearly, I was 17 and very intrigued- along with scared! We were sitting in a 1971 Torino enjoying the radio when the show came on. Bigfoot was being tracked, and we were in central Louisiana- after bedtime. Did anyone ever verify that sighting? I’d like to know.
there is a national forest just west of mena ar. where i encountered him….grayling
IF BIGFOOT IS REAL WHY NOT SEND A PACK OF HUNTING DOGS AFTER IT AND PUT IT TO SLEEP
PHILLIP
I watch bigfoot now and then. I happened to be watching it today with the kids. 2/12/12 I am sorry but does anyone agree with me that Rene has to GO. If I were a bigfoot I would grab hold of her and toss her butt as far as I could. Only for her to probably get up sying No I still don’t believe. Not to mention the dumb answers she gives. Does anyone else seriously want to give her a slap in the side of the head and tell her to go home and let the men do their job. Which is better than what she is doing. Too much talking when tracking which will scare anything away. She heres a rock hitting into the field and she can believe that, but she can’t believe in a foot print that is as clear as the nose on your face. Go back to school honey, you need more training in tracking and a few other things. lol
Rena is the resident skeptic. The search will go on for a long time because this team is to noisy in the woods. The calls etc are ok but talking, lights for cameras. They need to get in place put up a motion sensor area around there site and hunker down with night vision etc. Some bate like fish or donuts etc might help. One or two nights don’t cut it they need to be there for a week or more like they live there and blend in to the surrounding.

if you had people and dogs looking to find you to destroy you would you be easy to find? he hasn`t harmed or hurt anybody ,so why don`t you let them be,and live there life in peace,they could be humans too!!!!
I have a question! I dont mean to be sarcastic, I just want to know Why not just set up a trap and and catch it. Not to harm it but to settle this mystery ounce and for all. With todays knowledge and know how .I think it will be a blast. You already know what it likes to eat. CANDY! for one. They are already commmunicating with you now. I personally think itb should be a sucessful.Think how famous you would be. So interesting . I would really like to watch that series of shows. Thank You for listening.
So, Where’s the evidence!
So, where are the little Bigfoot’s? They don’t start off as a 7 footer. I don’t hear of reports of seeing families, or colonies of these creatures. If they are out there, then there would be whole colonies by now. No doubt. Where are there sleeping quarters? I’m sure people would find some kind of bedding. I don’t think they just sleep on the cold ground. If their that smart to elude us then their smart enough to show signs of their existence. Not finding bones, hair, teeth is just one more example of the mystery. Footprints don’t do it for me. Anybody can make a footprint. It’s very hard for me to believe that no hikers, or hunters ever see a dead Squatch. They die just like the rest of us. I don’t believe that they would be devoured completely by other animals every time a Bigfoot dies. Hunters, and Hikers find dead humans all the time in the forest by murderers who dump bodies, and some bodies are in good shape after being in the forest for some time. There’s no evidence of grave sites if Bigfoot’s have the intelligence to bury their dead. Anthropologists have been discovering dinosaur bones deep in the ground that have been extinct for millions of years. Why can’t experts find bones of these creatures if they exist today? There are hikers and hunters with cell phones and not one of them has stumbled on a dead Bigfoot, and not one has brought a dead one to the authority’s for identification. Now that would be real evidence. Until then, I’m a skeptic.
Oops, should be, “Where are their sleeping quarters”.
I like Fishing in Orgon for Big Foot in Orgon . There I saw glowing red eyes of a BigFoot. Iheard a recording of a female BigFoot . That was done in the woods of Orgon.The female Big Foot sounds angery at the four men that made that call. Ialso loved theshow Finding BigFoot I’m sad thatlast night was the final Season of Finding BigFoot .To Mat and the team good luck on a great season. I hope that you do came back YOUR FAN BIGFOOTER/Frank.
