Shelly Covington Montana is from Texas, and the MABRC was very happy that she could come and speak at the 2019 Mid-America Bigfoot Research Center's annual Symposium. Shelly has received her Level II Track and Sign Certification. This involved long study of preparation not only from books, but in the field as well. We are very proud of her! Shelly is also a member of the Olympic Project. Shelly is a native Texan, known as a wilderness and wildlife enthusiast with a passion for conservation and preservation. Shelly’s search for the truth was fueled by her husband’s unexplained encounter in the winter of 1982 in the forest of east Texas. “Facts are truth, and I am hopeful with proper Wildlife DNA collection and analysis it could be a benefit and a standard in the search of the enigma we call Bigfoot.” She is an active member of the Olympic Project as well as the Texas Bigfoot Research Center, and was awarded the 2017 International Bigfoot Conference’s Most Dedicated Researcher Award!
