BFRO organizers bring participants to areas where
they will have encounters with Bigfoots at night. The odds of
success depend on their selection of locations, among other
things. Selecting the best locations depends upon
sighting/encounter information -- the more, the better -- so the
BFRO selects organizers who have the most information in a given
state, and who have experience organizing trips there.
New Jersey is actually one of the better bigfoot states on the East Coast. The intermittent sightings of bigfoots there over the past 150 years or so
have gotten intermingled with the Legend of the Jersey Devil. Although the Jersey Devil was originally describing a very different type of cryptid, subsequent encounters with bigfoots were often reported as encounters with the Jersey Devil. Consequently, one of the ways for researching historical accounts of bigfoot encounters in New Jersey is to look up old newspaper articles about encounters with the Jersey Devil.
New Jersey sits at an ideal latitude for many types of wildlife. It is far enough north to escape the punishing heat and humidity of the deep south in summer, but also far enough south to escape the harsh winter conditions further north. There is never deep snow on the ground for weeks at a time, nor extreme heat for weeks at a time. One consequence is that the deer survive better at this latitude. There is never a "Winter kill" (mass deaths of deer due to extended freezing and starving) that reduces deer population, nor severe drought conditions that can do the same.
There is a smorgasbord for a large predator species in New Jersey but the most destructive large predators (the big cats and wolf packs) were eradicated from the East Coast many decades ago. The abundance of prey but absence of other larger predators created a vacuum that has been filled by bigfoots in many areas.
Bigfoots are not regular large predators. They are highly intelligent large predators, comparable to Killer Whales in the respect that they are at top of food chain as predators in their environments, but never harm humans for some reason, unlike lower intelligence large predators such as sharks.
