As a biologist with over 35 years of experience conducting wildlife inventories and research across North, Central, and South America-including two decades in Kentucky's Red River Gorge with the U.S. Forest Service-I've devoted my life to understanding the natural world. For most of that time, I dismissed Bigfoot as nothing more than a myth, assuming no one seriously believed in it. I couldn't have been more mistaken.
After a blunt email exchange in which I accused a Bigfoot Believer of fabricating Sasquatch data, I was challenged in a way that shook my assumptions. I was called ignorant, close-minded, and rude-and while I admit to sometimes being too blunt, I realized I had indeed been ignorant of just how many people claim to have seen Bigfoot, how strongly they believe in its existence, and how seriously they take the subject.
That confrontation became the catalyst for this book. Determined to seek out the truth for myself, I set out on my own "Monster Quest" into the world of Sasquatch. What I discovered was nothing short of remarkable.
