Robert Morgan, a credible and experienced BF hunter, has drafted a manual for those interested in taking their chances and setting out to encounter one of these mystical creatures - follow his guidelines and you too will see one (although for obvious reasons he falls short of making specific promises or references). The author does not waste any time in clearly distinguishing himself and his methods from the rest of Bigfoot hunters clad in camo, toting loud speakers, fruits, telephoto lenses, and even weapons of all sorts. He patiently explains his peaceful and almost spiritual approach to his followers so they can prepare the right conditions to enable such an encounter. I actually thought his strategy made a lot of sense.
This is not a narrative of witness accounts, and most of the pictures are familiar to those who are worth their salt in hominid research. I only wish he included some more anecdotes and real life experiences tied to his suggestions in order to spice up his manual. However, the book deserves recognition for the way it provides and explains an alternative way of "hunting" these elusive creatures (for seasoned hunters and beginners alike).

This short booklet (not really a book in its purest form) really puts field tips and little tricks of the trade in the reader's hands. Morgan gives some great field tips, as well as recommending what kind of gear to use in the field, and also to not pack too heavily or an individual will be tired and huffing and puffing in the field. There also are little practical field tips and anecdotes and stories which tell the reader what to do and what NOT to do in the field, which also applies to sighting a Forest Giant (as Morgan calls them) and what to do if an individual does see one and has an encounter. The book is chock-full of great information, not only on field tips, but also what to look for in sign of a Forest Giant in the area. I do recommend this one, if for nothing else, for the practical field tips Morgan gives us. 4 1/2 out of 5 stars.

Robert W. Morgan is one of the first persons to seriously investigate and research the mystery known as sasquatch, or bigfoot. Robert has spent many years conducting active bigfoot field research, and he has amassed a considerable amount of knowledge and wisdom which he presents concisely in THE BIGFOOT POCKET FIELD MANUAL. I've been involved in active bigfoot research for several years and have used the concepts and principles as presented by Robert in THE BIGFOOT POCKET FIELD MANUAL. Using his methods I have had a number of very close sasquatch encounters as have several members of my research team. If you are serious about researching bigfoot you will want this book for your library.

The previous reviews of this book had a goodly number of stars, which I took to mean that it was high on the recommend list.

I feel it's necessary to add my opinion, to help other potential buyers understand what they may wish to order before
they complete the transaction. Yes, this is a field guide as opposed to a anecdotal report, though there are a few short stories the author uses to illustrate points. Perhaps Mr. Morgan really is an expert in this field of study, but I think the truly
useful suggestions he has to help advance someone's potential encounter with a 'forest giant person' could have been reduced to a
three page pamphlet instead of a 136 page book.

For me, as a student of the phenomenon of Bigfoot/Sasquatch, I look for solid, well-researched data about the subject that fits the standard set by books like 'The Walla Walla Bigfoot' by Vance Orchard or the excellent 'The Locals' by Thom Powell.

Serious students will find these two books to be more useful than Mr. Morgan's fanciful and overwrought field guide.

I have never read a book like this before. Robert W. Morgan has an insight like no other. I would recommend this field manual to any one who is serious about creating a special connection with these very special people of the forest. Just open your heart and open your mind and you'll see that truth is absolutely stranger than fiction in a very beautiful way....... "Follow your Bliss"

After just the first page you will be hooked. Bought this as a present for my brother but almost read it before wrapping it up as it was so compelling!

A lot of information in this book that you don't get in others. Written very good and easy to follow. must have for the researchers library.

Another great addition to my growing Bigfoot library. Even if you don't get to see a Bigfoot, it adds an interesting twist to your day's hike.

I found this book to be pretty base. There is a segment where it is mentioned (someone's observation)that Bigfoot rolled around in sewage to disguise his odor. I just find a lot of concepts put out by the author as difficult to accept, if not very disgusting. This book was written with the sentiment (in my opinion) of someone sharing a beer with some drunk friends--just a loose attitude. If you like journalism supported by facts, professional writing, something to challenge your thinking, you probably will not enjoy this book. On the other hand, if you just want to read about Bigfoot theories from someone (in my opinion) who is on the fringe of society you might enjoy this book.
