The Bigfoot Bulletin was a novel form of firm inward North American hominology, much approved at the fourth dimension both past times René Dahinden and John Willison Green. In Fact 1 chapter of Green's Year of the Sasquatch (1970) is devoted to that newsletter. Green writes:
One of the most pregnant developments of the twelvemonth 1969, at to the lowest degree from a Sasquatch hunter's betoken of view, was the nascency of an unassuming footling publication called the Bigfoot Bulletin. For years people who were spending their spare fourth dimension as well as coin running downwards Sasquatch reports conduct maintain talked close the involve for a way of communication, but none always did anything close it. Some kept inward fairly regular contact past times letter, but others did footling or no writing, alone dropping inward during their travels or telephoning at intervals that mightiness endure years apart. Quite a few didn't know that anyone else was active inward the champaign at all.
The human who changed all that is George Haas, of Oakland, California. George has worked at a multifariousness of outdoor jobs as well as has been a cracking woodsman for many years, but he got into the Sasquatch concern via the bookshelf. From correspondence amongst George I know that his sense included a menstruation every bit Ranger inward Charge of the Calaveras Big Trees State Park inward California as well as half-dozen years inward Yellowstone National Park where he designed, built, as well as operated an 18-acre reforestation nursery.As somebody who has been blogging close Bigfoot since 2007, I am reminded of my hard-copy predecessors. Men like George Haas, Ray Crow, as well as Mike Rugg; men who were compelled past times query as well as were interested inward sharing every bit much insight on Bigfoot every bit possible. These Bigfoot newsletters were made amongst typewriters, scissors, glue as well as are nevertheless impressive today.
The outset number of the Bigfoot Bulletin came out on Jan 2, 1969. It was merely ii mimeographed pages. The outset especial reported the finding of 16-inch tracks inward the snowfall on the Bluff Creek Road, Dec 2, 1968. Most of the balance of the outset page listed published articles on the dependent area inward electrical current papers as well as magazines, but on Page 2 was an article past times Jim McClarin, who has continued to endure the Bulletin's most prolific contributor. It was the outset of a serial of old-time stories to accomplish a modern audience inward the Bulletin.
Despite its increment inward size as well as circulation, George Haas has continued to distribute it (the Bulletin) costless of charge, every bit good every bit treatment an ever-growing majority of correspondence resulting from it.
A number of Sasquatch hunters are basically to a greater extent than inclined to compete than co-operate — because they each desire to endure the outset to convey 1 in. From this betoken of thought to a greater extent than or less already object to the Bulletin every bit making besides much hard-won data available at no toll as well as no assay to anyone who comes along. But for those whose primary involvement is to encounter the facts brought abode to a doubting world, the Bigfoot Bulletin is an undiluted blessing. No 1 tin purchase the Bulletin. It is sent alone to those who contribute information.
