BFRO organizers bring participants to areas where
they will have encounters with Bigfoots at night. The odds of
success depend on their selection of locations, among other
things. Selecting the best locations depends upon
sighting/encounter information -- the more, the better -- so the
BFRO selects organizers who have the most information in a given
state, and who have experience organizing trips there.
BFRO organizer Mary Ann Ziebell will be leading the
Fall 2026 expedition. She has organized and attended several BFRO expeditions and she
connects with other bigfoot researchers ("bigfooters") in Missouri,
Arkansas and Oklahoma.
The Missouri has a long history of bigfoot sightings. The terrain and ecology is similar
to the terrain in southeastern Oklahoma -- full of deer, fed by
copious amounts of acorns from endless hardwood forests. This region has
not yet been turned into a tree farm of small pines for paper pulp, like in
so many other states, though it is also facing that same presssure to
monetize private tracts of forest that way.
The dates chosen for the Fall expedition coincide with a waxing gibbous moon (75% full).
There will be moonlight most of the night.
On Thursday of that week the moon will set just after 3:30AM, so there will still be a couple of hours of total darkness.
By Sunday night the moon will be setting just before 7AM. Moonlight allows you walk around with no lights on, but it also makes you more visible to sasquatches, so your tactics need to consider that. The dark portion of the night is the when sasquatches will more likely approach a camp, so recorders and cameras should be set to capture the 4 hours or so before sunrise at camp.
The only part of deer season for those days in Fall is for young hunters ages 6-15 ... so not many hunters in the woods, and this expedtion will occur in an area where hunting is not allowed so its a moot point.
Leaves will be falling from the trees at
this time of year also, making the ground cover very crunchy. That will make it easier to hear animal movement in the woods from a distance, so listening devices are encouraged, like hunter headphones by Sordin in Sweden.
