My colleague/friend Joe Stewart and I went out to an area nearby where a Bigfoot encounter took place during this past year's hunting season. We had some return wood knocks, a couple of which I was able to record, and heard strange sounds coming from the Southeast of the area we were in.  I love doing research with Joe because he has been in this field a long time and has a wealth of knowledge. I learn something from him every time we do work together. I do a lot of listening and taking mental notes when I'm with Joe. And he's always happy to share and teach.
A report that came in to Jessica and I yesterday is keeping me busy today doing research of a more canine persuasion.
Whether you choose to believe it or not, The Dogman / unusually large wolf sightings are again on the rise.
And people - good, stable, well-grounded, honest people - are reporting incredibly strange phenomena, some with violent outcomes, ie: death of pets, livestock, destruction of property, and folks in general being terrorized.
We will continue to keep working on these accounts as they come in, and fit the pieces of the puzzle together wherever possible.
Check the outings page and photo stream(which will be updated within a week) on home page for photos from today's outing.
Have a howling good day!

The past couple of weeks we have been putting together more videos, doing some preliminary filming for a production company, and of course taking reports and conducting research and investigations.
Southeast Michigan is again having an increase in activity, and we are seeing some patterns to some of these accounts that are going to be helpful with future research.
We have collected two samples recently that will take some time to get back since DNA extraction, etc. can be a very lengthy process. But we'll have to be patient.
Patience is something that is foundational and absolutely necessary when doing this type of fieldwork.
It can take weeks, months, or YEARS to track and gather evidence on elusive creatures, but rest assured they ARE out there!
I hope this post finds you all enjoying our very unusual winter.
Have a howling good day!
