First we have to ask ourselves what an expert might be defined as, considering the context of this subject.
1) Feet - Meldrum studies feet intently and we'd put him there as an expert of FEET and only FEET
2) Bigfoot Forest Ornaments - Field researchers with years of experience especially in one area where they can possibly put things into context.
3) Bigfoot Speech - Scott Nelson comes with all the credentials and a very good sample of language to draw conclusions in the Sierra Sounds.
4) Bigfoot Audio Analysis - Monongahela and there are others who devote their time to the fine detail of audio, as well as commonalities between different tracks. This is critical towards qualifying audio.
5) Interaction - Anyone who has spent a great many hours up close with the sasquatch and who has gained their trust enough to incite reactions or responses.
6) Habits or Customs - People who have them on their properties or spend 1000's of hours in the woods amongst them can become experts in their people.
7) Calls - Similar to number 6 but these people are able to incite a response.
There are probably many other areas of expertise but we can start with these areas first.
