The BFRO has identified many potential habitat zones after collecting thousands of sighting reports for more than 10 years. The expeditions target these habitat zones.

Commonly Asked Question: Has anyone ever seen a bigfoot on these expeditions??

The Answer: Yes.

There have been well over 700 attendees, collectively, so far. More than half that number now consider themselves Class B witnesses (They were close enough to hear them).

A least 35 of these people had a Class A sighting.

A "Class A sighting" is a clear sighting -- either in daylight, or under artificial illumination, or in bright moonlight, or with visual aids such as nightvision scopes or thermal scopes. A sighting that is clear enough and close enough to be unmistakeable.

Class A sightings are, by definition, less likely to be misinterpretations than Class B sightings.

Class B sightings are those that occur in poor lighting conditions, or at a distance, or very, very briefly.

Class B incidents are usually auditory (sound) incidents. They might have a minor visual component, or they might have no visual component.

The closest and most impressive encounters with bigfoots are usually Class B incidents. These animals will sometimes approach people very closely at night, in thick brush, or among big trees, where they clearly feel more protected.

The human observers are often not within the brush when this happen, but rather on dirt roads or hiking trails bordering thick brush and/or stands of big trees.

One of the purposes of these expeditions is to show people how these animals operate, so more people can help us identify other habitat areas.

At this stage, many previous expedition attendees have managed to encounter more of these animals in other areas, after learning our techniques for identifying habitat zones and provoking an encounter there.

Naturally, people who have never attended a BFRO expedition might wonder whether this is all some kind a scam. Many new people come with the suspicion that the whole thing might be a setup.

These approaches often reoccur in the same areas long after an expedition is over and everyone has gone home. That's the best proof that these incidents are not a setup.

Too much human pressure in a habitat area can push out these animals, or drive them to more remote portions of a watershed. That's why we do not publicly identify these areas. We want to keep the human pressure to a minimum while learning as much as we can from a given habitat area.

An expedition with the BFRO is an opportunity to learn and see and hear many things that cannot easily be seen, or heard or learned anywhere else. You will meet the most active, most experienced, and most knowledgeable bigfoot researchers in person, and in the field, as you can do nowhere else.

You can learn through us in four days what would take you years to learn on your own.
