Idaho Professor To Hunt Bigfoot With Drones

Jeff Meldrum, an anthropologist at Idaho State University, is spending $200,000 to scan the Cascades with drones. The unmanned aircraft will use thermal imaging equipment to peer through thick forest in search of Sasquatch.

"We're simply asking a biological question: Is there a species of primate behind the legend of Sasquatch?" he said.

Other professors in the field have called any questions about Bigfoot a “waste of time.”

Good for Jeff, though I think he would have better results in the mid-west and some eastern states.

Is it still a “drone” if Michael Medved goes along for the ride?

“Good for Jeff, though I think he would have better results in the mid-west and some eastern states.”

If he REALLY wants to find a big, hairy beast his best bet is to search around 1600 Pennslvania Ave. in Washington, DC.

He no can do — airspace above the White Hut is a restricted no-fly zone.

It would be a lot cheaper & more effective to put in trailcams.

For the last time, I didn’t make those fake Bigfoot tracks in the woods!

(And how was I supposed to know that the ape-suit picture would become legendary?)

I mean...I know nothing.

“It would be a lot cheaper & more effective to put in trailcams.”

But drone IR data might locate grass patches. Just think of the ramifications of that amongst the Academented.

at least it’s not spying on icebergs with CIA satellites to monitor “global warming”.

this will make one hell of a ‘messin with Sasquatch’ commercial for Jack Links.
