Booger Funnels...

This post is from a guest blogger, Sunday Monroe from Team Cryptid Mississippi. I have not changed any text from the piece beyond basic editing, which you all know I’m terrible at...Thank you to Sunday for sharing and emailing me this...



Boogers are always in transition. They move about from place to place as needs dictate. They must, no moss grows on them for sure.

It is what they have to do, it’s how they survive. This practice probably has more than a little to do with why they remain generally undocumented. You cannot define what you can’t pin down and examine. This is a trait that you can take advantage of if you want to go and see one for yourself, by thinking like a Booger thinks.

If I was a Booger, why would I leave the relative comfort of my den? Because I’m hungry, of course. It takes a lot of food to support a single, large primate much less an entire family of them.

 Few places offer food in sufficient amounts year round to support a family of Boogers. In most locations there is probably not enough sustenance for more than a few days to a week or so. The group must consistently move on to the next food source before they run out of food in their current location. I mean, who wants a pack of hungry Booger’s on their hands? Not I.

The answer to where they go is as seasonal as your shoes. In the winter when plant sources are scarce, they exist on fish and wild game. In the spring when new plant life emerges, they transition from game areas to places with greater vegetation. Even Boogers get tired of the same old, same old, day in and day out.

On into the summer, agricultural crops start to mature and produce significant food sources. Then, maybe, there is a fruit harvest somewhere over yon ridge. And on it goes creating a great circuit that the alpha may have walked when he was just a sprout. See what I mean about hard to pin them down?

If a family group is in one area in the spring and they move as the food depletes, they may circle back around in a couple of weeks once the sources is replenished but will soon move on to whichever region offers the more abundant and more irresistible food sources.

Just because they are here today doesn’t mean they will be here tomorrow. Perhaps they return in a month? A year? Or never at all. Fickle creatures these.

How does this help you? Boogers have the same basic needs as you and me; food, water and shelter. And by “shelter” we are referring not to a roof so much as a source of protection, concealment and a ready retreat if necessary. For our purposes, we will use flood prone river basins.

Have you ever driven North Of Houston, Texas? Due  to the large flood plain, even in the city limits, there are vast acres of undeveloped, overgrown, nearly inaccessible wilderness with an abundance of water ways and reservoirs. Incidentally, these circumstances are also conducive to ample fish and wild game. Houston and Harris County have large numbers of Booger encounters reported. Now you know why.

If you have inhospitable wilderness near you,  there are also likely to be highway crossing it at some point. Possibly even interstates. How is an alpha male going to secure his family’s safe travel across a busy highway without being seen or without anyone getting hit by a car? If going over it is not an option, go under. Go looking for a bridge.



The simplest and safest way for family groups to bypass these human threats to their existence is to follow the waterways or canyons that go under the bridges. This creates for you a narrow area, a funnel, through which they must pass and, possibly must pass through several times a year.

This doesn’t guarantee an encounter but I do find that it is remarkably simple to locate tracks and tree breaks near these bridges. As an additional plus, there are often road side parks, recreation areas or boat Ramps installed which makes parking and access that much more convenient.

If you are new to this community, this is a great place to start your adventure. Go see for yourself. Share your stories and images with us. But, I leave you also with a golden rule, a rule even for you skeptics lurking around.

Don’t go looking for something you are not also prepared to find...
