Hi All, It's been a while, Baseball season for my Son and Pitching lessons for those who wish to learn.
I really put in a great effort in the Woods before I went on this baseball vacation, My Son is a pitcher in College, We go to all his weekend games and some of his weekday games when we can. I work for a living so my night ops are pretty much done till he gets back home in May, Which can not come soon enough, First of all I miss him and second of all I miss the Hunt for the big guy.
That being said I did a few quick hitters in the woods from 8 to 10 and a few 7- 11 deals which I might add I paid for the next day at work but I felt it would not be right to just stop for this amount of time but between OT at work and my Wife's job expanding my field work is at a minimum right now.
The reports keeping coming though, I have to say I am pretty hooked up right now, I get at least 2 a week from people I know or from people who have been sent to me, Most are not visuals but some are interesting for sure, Most I check out, Some are noted and sent to people who are closer to the area then I am some I look into myself (Not for the next 6 weeks though) some I just write down the location and make a note of it, Could be the source, Could be the story but you get a feel on these things but I always write down the date, Time, Place and particulars and add them to the file.
I have had 2 sighting reports and 3 print reports in the past 6 weeks, Plus a few night time strange things going on, Sightings have been looked into and NESRA is on the case, Prints are from places NESRA has been working in the past and will now begin to look at over again, Soon. If, In my opinion, Past history holds true April will be a busy month.
That's it for tonight, Just wanted to let everyone know Coach is on a semi hiatus but I am still doing the stuff I need to do to make sure, As I have said all along, 2012 IS THE YEAR

Hi All, Coach here with the Wednesday rant, The last one before I get into my actual research.

As a baseball player, Coach, Scout and fan I have seen first hand the decline in fans and players and I know one reason is the game times, This has lead to what I refer to as the lost generation.

In the old days all games were day games, Kids skipped school or their parents took them out of school to go to the games, It led to the mystique of the players, Radio mostly only so they were truly legends that some fans never actually saw except for a newspaper pic or a grainy movie at the theater. Kinda familiar to us folks, Never saw it except for one movie and some pics that we will never know if they are true.
Then as the world changed TV let us see our heros and they showed the games during the day, I remember running off the bus to see the playoffs or world series games and as I got older listening during work on the radio then running home to watch.

I am gonna ramp this up a bit, I do think we need to shout out some people, Actually a whole gender, Since I just got back from a very important BF meeting I feel congrats are in order.

I have been searching for a long time for Bigfoot, Sign of bigfoot, smell, Structure anything and at times I have told you all in the past I have been scared, No shame in it, It's scary in the woods, been there recently??? Dark, smelly, Things howling and screaming at you, I am solo, Most of the time, That being said I have a few people that always seem to show up and they are not who most of you would think they are.
I have done some deep research on the olfactory receptors and things like that and I have, After many trips into the dark, figured out that Women, On the whole, Are less afraid of the dark then men. Deal with That.

I also have discovered that when I call and say I need people in the woods, that we At NESRA have a Women who is always there and willing to do whatever she can, always, No questions, Just let her know the address and she is there.
I am happy to call this women my friend, My field research partner and my fellow Squatcher, Guess what she is not the most active Women I know!! Warm weather friends have a advantage.

Hi all,

Welcome to the weekly edition of Coach's Corner, One mans look into the world of Bigfoot.

I don't know how this all started for me, Well that would be a lie, As either a 7th or 8th grader we got taken to a local cinema to see a movie and the warmup was a 20 minute or so movie about the Patterson/Gimlin film.

I have no idea what it was, This had to be 73 or 74 so I don't think it was the Nimoy "In search of" might have been, maybe an early release but whatever it was it had the Girls waiting for the movie to start and the Boys were all about ready to run out into the woods right then.
I do remember watching the "In search of Bigfoot" and getting a thought that this would be cool to investigate but I was a 16 year old kid, I also remember thinking that Scooby Doo and the gang would be cool to join also.

Hey All, Welcome to Coach's corner a weekly Blog of whats up in our world of Squatchin. I will be posting up something every wednesday night so stay tuned for the latest in my world of Bigfooting.

Gotta give it up to Corey for the post on the go-bag, I have my stuff in a back pack, Nothing special but I do need to upgrade, All the things Corey mentioned plus my 2 knifes that both go on my belt, a box cutter (utility knife) with spare blades in case you have to scrape a sample off something, I have my H2 recorder and a nasty mag lite that throws about 240 lumens, I also carry binoculors, Nothing special, Roof prism small tasco 8X21 but they do the trick.

My first aid kit was set up with Squatching in mind, Alcohol serve's a dual purpose, No not that kind !!, No drinking in the field, It leads to painfull moments and kinda hard to make anyone believe the sighting you just had if you are not in shape to remember it yourself. Rubber gloves, my tweezers and pretty much everything in the bag will do double duty, From the saline solution to the scissors to the ice bag, I do have casting material but I leave that in the main vehicle or camp.

I just recently started to bring bright tape so I can put it on tree's or rocks that I want to look at again, Some use bright colored cloth then put a rock in it, Spot markers for evidence collection.

So that's it this week, you can basically take a solid first aid kit and with a few quick add ons turn it into a nice evidence collection a kit in a heart beat and for not a ton of loot either Which in this day and age is a plus.

Last but not least and we have all said this, You do what you can and go where you want and buy what you can afford, We all want stuff, Here and in our private life's that we are not going to own but this is a very personal endeavor, I did this by myself for 5 years with a note pad and pen, I must add I did not use them often but as I begin to get comfortable and learned what I was looking for I did make my own maps and notes and things to help MY OWN research.

That's the point - even thought NESRA is one of the best and biggest team out there we all do our own thing and then we talk and discuss it, Not like on a lot of other sites where they blast and poke fun at methods used by others... Right like you all know how to find Bigfoot. Opinions are like... Well you know the rest, Here at NESRA we are a highly dedicated team of individuals who are dedicated to the search for Bigfoot. Some may say Coach, Since I am a coach, How can a team be made up of individuals?? Well we all have the same goal in mind and we all are there for one another whenever a question is asked but we all also realize that our own lives are happening so we do what we can and MOST importantly SHARE our information and then we get together as small groups through out the year and larger official expeditions at least 2 times a year.

NESRA ALWAYS IN THE FIELD
