Just watching them now and so I thought I'd put down a few things that I'm wondering about.
the tree breaks. Not so sure, but it is interesting, and I don't have an explanation for it. I've seen lots of blown down trees, but those look different.
Todd is carrying a pistol. That might not be a big deal to the US viewers. Getting a pistol carry permit for public land is not easy. So are they on private land? That changes a few things if they are. second ep. Carrying out at radium. So he's got a permit for several areas. That must have taken some work.
The forest they are in looks like fairly recent clear-cut, so I don't know about Todd's estimate of things being 50 years old. I think that forest is as old as the road, so more like 30 years old, if that is to be believed. Which I think is possible. I'm not sure when the Nordegg region was logged, but I'm guessing it was not terribly long ago.
His whoop sounds are interesting. I know that lots of animals make odd sounds. Rabbits make all sorts of sounds you wouldn't expect.
Why didn't they put in a track trap with the apples? why no trap cameras? If Todd knows where they live, why doesn't he have piles of trail camera footage?
Todd forgot to get the shoplift tag taken off his jacket...
Tree structures. Either there are lots of saskwatches running around making tee pees, or trees falling in weird ways is the norm. I've seen lots of fallen trees, and they don't always make sense. Or, just people playing games. Probably people.... fallen trees don't tend to loose all of their branches.
I don't think Todd has intentionally faked all of the footage, I think something was around him for the flare video, I don't know what. The bigfoot face.. fake
He keeps comparing them to grizzlies. We see grizzlies all the time. Of course we now have proof that grizzlies cover ground we didn't think they did, but you need a sizable population to maintain a gene pool.
Bear relocation rumor? still too close to town. And near Radium, thats tourist-ville, problem bears get a long way away, or dead. The reason its not talked about is because in BC bears are "always" relocated. In Alberta its okay to tell people that garbage-can bears get shot.
rocks knocking.... its the GD mountains! rocks fall all the time.
I feel like bigfoot could have existed. probably did in fact, given the fact that its in every culture. However, I figure they are probably extinct. or something else. The theory that Yeti may have been some sort of Himalayan polar bear is interesting.
Footprints, I'm thinking faked by an accomplice. Not that hard to do. Footage, fake. He says people don't move that way. I'll stand behind you, down hill with a paintball gun, you'll take big strides up that slope. It can be done. Besides that, its impossible from video footage to really tell the angle of the ground. and the distances and size are hard to get a perspective on.
His two videos have two totally different facial profiles
I like that Les finishes by asking if its all in his head, and remaining a septic. I think Todd is at best, misguided, at worst a fraud. I also liked how Les was very open with his opinion that for at least parts of it, that one of the explanations was that Todd was a fraud. ten years of setting up a fraud, I believe thats possible.

), but the way I see it, if bigfoot adds to the magic and mystery of the woods, then I'm all for it.
