The month of August there were two trips to the Green Mountains in a continuing Research effort there that began in Late May of this year, which has been to date a combination of exploring the larger area as well as following up on signs of activity in the region in general. This is a large region, and the object of focus is a smaller portion of the region featured a series of connected bogs, streams and meadows that facilitate softer ground and conditions for potential evidence such as tracks, hair and scat. Over the course of 3 different trips, I have reconnoitered the set of bogs, etc, as well as used recording equipment, video and audio and attempted some curiosity lures as well.

The overall effort was to conduct a survey of an area with maximal potential to produce hard evidence deep into the green mountains and in terrain conducive to to leaving samples that would yield DNA and similar evidence. The area is boggy with an abundance of muddy areas for tracks, trees and brambles with low level branches that may well yield hair samples as well as mutliple water sources. Efforts bteween May and August have thus far yielded a number of maybes; wood knocks, some odd vocals, but also some potential tracks and unusual scat samples. Efforts in this area will be ongoing.
