The Bigfoot hunters starring on Animal Planet's hit television series "Finding Bigfoot" will go on a search for the mythical creature in Idaho's Moscow Mountains, a site where there has been at least two records of Sasquatch sightings.

On the popular program, which is now in its fifth season, four researchers travel to a different location in the United States and interview people who claim to have seen Bigfoot. Then the researchers set up re-enactments of the sighting to try to prove the existence of the mysterious creature. The team consists of Bigfoot Field Research Organization (BFRO) President Matt Moneymaker, researchers James "Bobo" Fay and Cliff Barackman, and scientist Ranae Holland.

The producers of "Finding Bigfoot" were recently approved by Idaho officials in the city of Troy to shoot footage in the area of Moscow Mountain, reports the Moscow-Pullman Daily News.

According to Troy city clerk Rhonda Case, the crew is expected to film twice overnight before wrapping up by the end of July.

So far, there have been at least two documented sightings of the mythical beast in the area, according to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization website. The first alleged Bigfoot sighting occurred on Moscow Mountain during summer 1963, while the second took place in the fall of 2005.

"The challenge with any animal that is rare, solitary, nocturnal and far-ranging in habitat is to find them and observe them in the wild," says Jeff Meldrum, a professor of anatomy and anthropology at Idaho State University and the author of "Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science."

Based on reports, Meldrum says an animal like a Sasquatch would require "a diverse diet" just like black bears, which are omnivorous. He added that they also would need to live in a large forest that receives a lot of precipitation.
