As is Tom’s normal method of investigation, he contacted the media and invited them along so they could witness our investigation first hand.  This way, what ever we were to find; good, bad, or indifferent would be seen by the media at the same time we saw it.  They would see it as we see it, hear it as we hear it, smell it as we smell it, and experience it as we experience it.  We were fortunate in being able to have local TBJ4, an NBC affiliate join us on our investigation in Holly Town, Wisconsin.  Cortney and her cameraman are real troopers and met us in a Church parking lot near the area of the original encounter late that night.  It was about 28 degrees out and only a partial moon.  We unloaded our equipment and began our investigation.  Our first challenge was to find the exact spot of the encounter.  We had a very detailed description from the man who had the encounter, down to the tenth of a mile from the nearest landmark.  We found the general area easily.  We began by looking for blood stains from the deer that had been killed.  We were not able to find any signs of the road kill.  We looked for any prints or disturbances in the surrounding areas, but were not able to find any.  We did some calls and tree knocking, but no answers.  We did all we could think to try, but were unable to attract any creatures or find any signs of any creatures.  Of course it had been over a week before that the encounter took place and if this were a migrating creature, it would be long gone.  Unfortunately, it looked as if this would be one of those mysteries that we were not going to be able to solve.  We knew something had happened here, but we were not going to be able to find out exactly what it was.  Although we were all disappointed, we were glad that we had the opportunity to at least try.  We know we can’t hit pay dirt every time we go out, but we won’t let it discourage us from searching for Bigfoot!
