Louis L'Amour's Bigfoot

Louis L'Amour's Bigfoot: Bigfoot Story And Analysis. With over 180 million books published and knowledge about the West from his research, L'Amour's thoughts about Bigfoot may contribute to our understanding of the Sasquatch. For some reason, he decided to depart from his western motif to write the book "Haunted Mesa" about parallel worlds and Bigfoot which he called "Saqua," large, hairy creatures with either claws or hard toenails. They were hunters and easily passed from earth into a parallel world and back to earth. This made Bigfoot disappearing right in front of humans' eyes possible, and it is a phenomenon infrequently mentioned, but still mentioned, in Sasquatch sightings. A possible great contribution by L'Amour to Bigfootery is his observation that his Saqua are greatly attracted to fire, including campfires. He even says they may worship fire. In "Haunted Mesa" a flare goes up in the desert, and the hero sees the Saqua hurrying toward it. One Saqua is so mesmerized by the light that he walks into the side of our hero's car! I have read and heard some stories of Bigfoot coming into campfires, even in people's backyards especially in Florida where it's jungle-thick. Therefore, I am putting forward Nick's Hypothesis #2 : Bigfoot is attracted to campfires. I think a big campfire could test this hypothesis.
    Nick's Hypothesis #1: Bigfoot can efficiently be fed by hanging with a wire a can of dog food, beans, beer, etc with the wire carefully inserted under the tab of the can without breaking the seal. The other end can be wrapped around a high limb to get it out of reach of black bears. I believe Bigfoot will learn to pull the can down, popping the seal, and thus having a fresh can of dog food, beans, or beer. Since you don't break the seal putting the can up, the contents will remain fresh until the Bigfoot pulls the can. It's an efficient way to put out costly food. Once you have a Bigfoot coming in, you try to re-stock the day after he takes the can, if not before. Then you should build your blind so he accepts it. When he's coming in everyday, it makes sense to spend time in your blind to see if he comes in at a regular time and if you can get a good video. I'd stay away from trail cameras for Bigfoot. Too many stories that they frighten him off.
    I predict that as Bigfoot is accepted by most Americans and others, multinational corporations will seek to demonize him to have him destroyed just as the railroads did with the American Indian. Corporations want the land and its resources. To try to avert that, I am calling upon any situations you know of in which Sasquatch needs protection. With your permission, I'll publicize it to my thirteen readers here.  Let's talk. Peter Nickerson, 352-359-0850
