2012: Federal authorities cite Matt Pruitt, leader of a BFRO expedition at the Buffalo National River in Arkansas, for "engaging in a business without a permit or written agreement." According to a brief filed by the National Park Service, 31 participants in the three-day hunt for Sasquatch paid fees ranging from $300 to $500, with the higher rate charged to "newbies"—i.e., persons who had not patronized the group previously. In March a court fines Pruitt $525 for what he calls "a fairly innocent mistake."

2002: A married couple living at Scotts Head, New South Wales, wakes to an "offending stench" and a sound "like a big man stomping around on their porch," then leaping over the rail and walking away with heavy footsteps. Subsequently, they are disturbed by nocturnal sounds of "a weird noise like a cross between a dog and a cat as it runs towards the bush." Without ever sighting the visitor, they presume it to be a Yowie, Australia's version of Sasquatch.
