Now Hard Mountain Dew is joining the hunt and has launched its first-ever Bigfoot Bounty – a Can$1 million challenge to prove the legendary creature exists. Source: Timberbiz Cryptid hunters, sceptics, and armchair experts 21 and older now through November 30c an submit verified evidence for a shot at the prize.

Timed to peak Bigfoot sighting season in the autumn Hard Mountain Dew is turning seasonal fascination into a money-backed hunt for the truth. As temperatures cool, more adventurists head outdoors, while increased wildlife activity and soft, moisture-rich ground create ideal conditions for spotting and preserving tracks of Bigfoot. To be considered for the Can$1 million prize, participants 21 or older must submit a compelling entry that includes at least four of the following seven forms of evidence: Bigfoot Paw Print: A footprint measuring 37-38.5 inches long, found pressed 6inches into solid gravel. Bigfoot Handprint: A clearly documented 13-inch handprint displaying distinct shape, proportions, and unusual characteristics suitable for further examination. Thermal Imaging Capture: Night vision footage showing a 7-9-foot-tall heat signature moving at 20-25 mph through dense forest. Hair Follicle Sample: A tuft of dark brown, black, or reddish-brown hair found snagged on a branch 5-10 feet off the ground, containing “unknown DNA markers.” Audio Recording: High-frequency vocalizations, knocks, calls or other unexplained sounds consistent with reported Bigfoot activity.

Indufor’s extensive experience in forest due diligence and valuation highlights the importance of reducing uncertainty around forest area, age class, species, yield and spatial distribution when assessing plantation investments. Source: Timberbiz ForestInsights brings together Indufor’s expertise in remote sensing, forest modelling and valuation to provide a detailed picture of planted forest resources. Satellite imagery, spatial analysis and modelling are used to develop GIS data layers describing plantation boundaries, species composition and stand age. These data can then be combined with information on forest yields, costs and pricing to assess future harvest volumes, wood availability, transport requirements and investment opportunities for individual assets, regions or national plantation re-sources. The resource can also be updated over time. As forests are harvested and replant-ed, or affected by events such as fire, storms or other disturbances, new satellite imagery can be used to update the underlying forest information and maintain a current picture of the resource. For investors and forest owners, ForestInsights provides a rapid way to understand an asset, region or wood basket. The information can be used to assess: the location and extent of planted forests; age-class and species composition; the distribution and size of forest holdings; areas approaching harvest; proximity to processing facilities, infrastructure and markets; and likely transport distances and wood supply scenarios.   By applying Indufor’s experience in forest modelling and valuation, the team can use these data to develop regional or asset-specific wood availability forecasts and support due diligence, acquisition strategy, market analysis and longer-term forest planning.
