WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

CRYPTOLINK: Bigfoot Report Deer Hunting Incident (Arizona)

A word about cryptolinks: we are not responsible for the content of cryptolinks, which are merely links to outside articles that we think are interesting (sometimes for the wrong reasons), usually posted up without any comment whatsoever from me. 
Date of incident: 1960. Person wishes to remain anonymous, but this is his story:
When I was very young, my family went deer hunting every year. That was before Arizona was overrun with transplants (residents from other States), and hunting was just a matter of buying a license and a tag at the local Circle K or K-Mart. No lottery system like today where native Arizonans get drawn to hunt every eight or nine years apart. There were no restrictions to what area you could hunt once you bought a tag. You had the entire State to hunt!
My Family usually hunted the area around Springerville including Escudilla MountainsBig Lake and Show Low which is now known as Area 1. The hunting event was a big to-do for the entire family and extended families. We would circle the eight or nine trailers and tents into a big family pow-wow and spent the whole week camping and hunting.
Usually, the men (the hunters) would leave camp very early before dawn to start the hunt, and most would return about lunch time. They would leave again after lunch and hunt until just before dark. Meantime the wives and children would spend the day around the camp cooking, cleaning, and washing the kids. The kids did their best to get dirty by playing hard within the circle of trailers and tents. The children were forbidden to leave the circle for safety reasons unless they were accompanied by an adult.
