Announcement: Bigfoot Ballyhoo has been under attack, in the past, by a couple of people who wished Ballyhoo and its editors to look as if they were hoaxing information.

One of the biggest examples would be the claim that we made up the ESP Team, Bill Emery, Cole Saxton and the late Hank Parchell. A well-known bigfoot researcher found photos that looked like Emery, Saxton and Parchell. He claimed the three to be the real men and not any part of the ESP Team. (In fact, he claimed there was no ESP Team).

And then while the Emery Team was processing trail cam photos a couple were sent to Ballyhoo. These photos turned out to be well-known bigfoot photos, one from a movie and one of Patty. The technician’s son that was processing the trail cam photos replaced the real photos with fakes. In good faith Emery sent the dallied-with photos to Ballyhoo. When it was found out what happened it was explained.

Another photo of a footprint with a believable history was given Ballyhoo to post. Turned out to be Tim Fasano’s photo from Florida. Again, we’ve given explanations for each occurrence. We were hoaxed.

We in time recognized each hoax and explained what happened

Thank You, Don Campbell





Thanks for sending the information about this contest. I wrote the article, below, but never thought more about whether Bigfoot had been caught on a Bushnell Trail Cam or not. Since CNN didn't report a million dollar winner, the contest just faded to non-importance. Funny pictures on the site. See for yourself. Click the site address below.
Again, Thank you, Don Campbell

Bushnells Trail Cam Contest

Did You Enter to Win a Million Dollars?

Following is the "A Matter of Time!" column I wrote for the Douglas County News, June 9, 2008. You can see some of the photos and read more about the contest at http://www.fstrailcamcontest.com/Photos/show/8dc981-6c26-4a53-be2d-46bddOf4cd69/ Once you are there, click on HOME.

Win A Million Dollars!

Snap a verifiable photo of Sasquatch with your Bushnell Trail Cam and you could win a million dollars.

The sponsors, Bushnell and Field and Stream Magazine are quick to state they aren't sayng they believe in this allusive animal, but if he does exist it will (in their opinion) be a Bushnell Trail Cam owner hunting, that will prove it.

The contest has several categories, just in case you can't snap Sasquatch. Photos of deer and non-deer, and funny photos can win you great Bushnell gear. To enter you must be 18 at time of entry and a legal resident of the United States.

I hesitate to mention this category, but will. The category is a fake photo of Sasquatch.

I believe the animal exists and I hate that fake photos will be circulating. Please be careful you don't want to be shot by accident. Remember, the photos must be taken with a Bushnell Trail Cam.

Photos must be received by 12/30/08. Go to website htt:tinyurl.com/4mhywo for more information. Email me for a copy of the contest rules or phone this paper requesting them. I'll send them to you through the mail.

If you own a Bushnell Trail Cam or can get your hands on one, this could be a fun activity. For the readers that do not have the Bushnell equipment, remember, if you should snap a clear Sasquatch photo, you'll probably be offered a good price for it.
