Get Biscardi off the show

Just curious. Does anyone know what the results of this expedition were? I vaguely recall listing to this show, I may have to DL it again. If I remember correctly, Dr. Milione clearly stated that they would capture a bigfoot? :)

I think you should take Behemoth's opinion more seriously and stop being so defensive. I do understand you guys put a lot of effort into your show, and you have some interesting shows I've really enjoyed (thanks), but:

Credibility issues trump the whole "banding together as one" thing. Being "positive", means keeping it real. It doesn't mean others should refrain from being suspicious of certain guests.

If you want to expose a bunch of lovely vibrant healthy apples to the public, great. But one bad apple ... that brings down everyone. That helps perpetuate the flaky opinion the public already has of psi.

Proper screening is imperative. There's a high price to pay for arbitrarily opening your doors to anyone under the sun: it threatens the credibility of your show and (potentially) compromises the reputations of past and future guests.

And what's the use of a reputed fraud as an "expert?". That just sounds ethically flexible (and desperate). Come on now.

With all due respect, anyone that would hire 'this guide' has not done ANY of the proper planning to do a bigfoot expedition. Futhermore, in my opion, you do not bring any credability to the project.

Maybe stick to somthing you know. I for one will not listen to this show, its sure to be just carnival style hype.

Thats too bad people do not do these types of things for love of the project any more.

I'd be curious to know what your credentials are, sounds like you have it all figured out?
It's seems you've missed my point all together though, I suppose controversy is more important to some than actual research, and that's why we have no answerers.
I don't know you, and you don't know me, so how can you say I'm not credible?
How many field hours did you log last year? I'd bet not nearly as many field hs, as blog hrs.
It's true that I'm just a Ghost Hunter, but I'm also trying to do something here for everybody, there are a ton of man hrs. involved here along with a lot of my own money to pull this all together for the community.
If you don't want to work with us, at least don't bash the people who do!
This is the garbage that goes around in these circles that prevents real work being done, and you're fooling yourself if you think that's not true, I just don't get what you're trying to acomplish here by starting crap????
Get over it and climb aboard!

Have it figured out? No, not quite. I do know that people come and go, the ones that go are quite often the people looking for an angle to get press or money off bigfoot.

It is true, I do not know you. With that said, in this field you are some times lumped together with those you associate with. I go on forever on that that one. :)

I did quite a bit of field work this year. Not as much as I have years past but I get out. I’ve been doing this since the late 70’s. Most active since the late 80’s. I’ve done all of the usual stuff with the same results as most people. I follow up on reports, outings (4-7 days is the average time out at a shot), get the occasional prints, etc.

Starting crap? No, not at all. I am just saying that your 'guide' seems far less qualified then people that are actually interested in their research rather then media hype, again, just my opinion.

It seems that these days it’s cool to do what ever is on TV. I have a lot of respect for the people that have been doing this on their own, with little or no fame or media coverage, the people paying their due’s to the field.

I also agree that there is a lot of garbage going around, thats the way its been since I can remember, probably will always be.

It is too bad that people can't just work together, Imagine the progress we could make if we all did! (and silly me, trying to over come that)
The reason we're working with Biscardi is he's actually out there, and we didn't see too many BF researchers who were focused on the field (I mean spending weeks and months at a time out there)

As far as Money or Fame, honestly we make just barely enough to go out and do this stuff, nobody's getting rich, if there's a place to make a million dollars, Bigfoot and the Paranormal isn't it trust me!
also, I've been in broadcasting for over 10 years, so getting press isn't as dazzleing to me as it might be to some (it's a double edged sword dealing with the press)

You should also know that I am a skeptic, I'm not quite sure this thing exsist until I see something for myself.
Trust me I debunk like a MF, there will be no hoaxing here that's for sure!
But I do appreciate all of your information and opinions, like I said before, I'm just a ghost hunter and I do really know nothing about the BF circuit, so your insight is mucho appreciated ;)

You can do your homework without logging any field hours. This includes familiarizing yourself with physical anthropolgy and anatomy; studying the phylogeny of extant and extinct great apes and knowing about fossil forms like Oreopithecus, Paranthropus, and the hominoids; considering the anatomy of multiple pieces of bigfoot evidence and the ramifications of such, inlcuding hair samples and attempts to amplify DNA; studying the historical accounts of such creatures and their place in indigenous knowlegde; knowing specifics about past sightings; and perhaps most importatnly: familiarizing yourself with the ecology of North American forests, so you know not only how a great ape might survive in them, but also how many things you can confuse with a great ape like coyotes, bears, elk, even mountain lions - this includes a broad global understanding of natural history / biogeography AND the specific dynamics and phenology of the ecosystem you intend to study (knowing as much as you can about the extant great apes will help immensely as well)

No one involved with this Paris, Texas debacle has shown any such familiarity. You'd do yourself well not to sink any more time, money or resources, into it.

That's great information Behemoth, Thank you!
and I agree, Homework is important, But If all we do is study on the internet and in books (important to know, yes), but aren't we just going over stuff that's already known?
We want to discover, and I believe the only way to do that is in the field, otherwise where do you implement all this great knowledge?
But it sounds like you know a bit about the research end of things, I wish you'd consider working with us, we all don't have to agree on everything to work together. In fact I've found it's best if we don't agree on everything, it forces us to keep an open mind and introduces us to other perspectives, and this is how we learn.
I would like to personally invite you out to Paris with us, I'll pay for your ticket!
Please consider it ok?
Jim

Hello Granite.

I just want to say that Behemoth is giving you great advice. Tom Biscardi is a known hoaxer and his reputation is terrible. You'll find cryptozoologists such as Loren Coleman, Will Duncan, Don Keating and others won't give him the time of day. Even Eric Beckjord has nothing to do with him.

I understand your point but as Behemoth said, anything you may find with Biscardi involved will be suspect to any reputable researcher. You'll have invested time and money for naught, my friend. I'm sure there is someone reputable in your area, although I'm not sure who it may be.

If you're in New England, try getting ahold of Loren Coleman or Don Keating in Ohio for references of people in your area.

Either way, good luck.

If you sent Biscardi packin’ I’d be happy to work with you guys, but you better buck up and admit that the man is a liar and thief who you never should have associated with.

If so, my problem is, within my means, I can’t just to go to Texas on a whim. If you guys want to hit the field in Western Wisconsin or Northern Minnesota, it’s pretty good squatching around here, but I really don’t see why you’re so gung ho about traversing the country. If you’re located in New England, why not just hit up North Carolina or upstate New York / Quebec? Chester Moore’s theory about bigfoot in Texas is that the population is inbred, meaning there’s so few of them they can’t even find mates. If you want to up your chances the most, go to Washington State or British Columbia.

Some free advice: You’re not going be able to get close to these animals on a weekend jaunt with some half-cocked “guide”. You’re going to have to do reconnaissance for a couple weeks at least, just so you’re familiar with the area, and after that wait potentially for months until something happens. If you stuck closer to home it would be much less of a shock acclimating to the environment. That way setting up some kind of long term continuing study would be an option. Do no expect instant gratification, you’ll only be disappointed. No matter what technical background you think is going to catch bigfoot for you, the most likely scenario is that you catch something we already know about (deer, coyote, cow, etc.). And even if you do catch something that can only be explained as bigfoot, as long as Tom Biscardi is along for the ride, you’ve got nothing--no one is going to believe you, no one will pay attention, and you’ll only drag down the field of study that much more.

I don't know how many times I have to say this, but Biscardi isn't the only game in town. There are plenty of bigfoot researchers out there who are serious about the study and aren't bent on personal gain. You could work with anyone of them I'm sure.

Biscardi won't share anything valuable as far as field experience. The most valuable field experience you can get is your own. There's no one out there who can guide you to bigfoot, you have to hope to find it yourself. That means delineating your own study sites, going over past reports in your area, and generally devisng your own strategy for finding the beast. Tom Biscadri will do nothing of the sort, he's only out to make a buck.

You guys better drop him like a bad habit.

P.S. - Cryptozoolgy is not a paranormal field. It is fringe/discovery science that dovetails well with accepted zoology. You have to realize that going from the paranormal to crytpozoolgy is going to be a big jump.

Death_worm grow up. You don't come on a forum called Ghostly Talk and say ghost hunting is a waste of time. That pretty much kills any credibility you have here. Go troll somewhere else.
