      I think any hominid that is still eeking out an existence while sharing the planet with Homo Sapien cousins are gonna be dang good at avoidance. And part of that avoidance survival strategy will be being super sneaky. But it also ensures that they will be low in numbers. Too high of a population leads them into direct conflict with us. And when I mean “us”…. I mean Pleistocene Humans. A couple of hundred men armed with spears or bows and fire.   Only humans organize in such high numbers for combat. I think long ago they learned to stay hidden.    21 species in the genus Homo. Officially we are all that’s left. I don’t think that’s by chance.

      .........AND there are millions more people out there to see them, AND actually looking for them.   The human population of this planet has quadrupled in just the last century:   10,000 BCE: About 4 million people lived on Earth after the shift toward agriculture. 1 CE: Around 170 million to 300 million people. 1804: Reached 1 billion for the first time, taking all of human history. 1927: Reached 2 billion (123 years later). 1960: Reached 3 billion (33 years later). 1974: Reached 4 billion (14 years later). 1987: Reached 5 billion (13 years later). 1999: Reached 6 billion (12 years later). 2011: Reached 7 billion (12 years later). 2022: Reached 8 billion on November 15, 2022 (11 years later)

      I think the answer almost has to be a hybrid version of what MIB asked above:  "Are there a) lots of bigfoots but they are super sneaky or b) only a few bigfoots but they are fairly clumsy, inept at hiding, so those few are seen fairly frequently?"   I propose a possibility c) There are only a few hundred (or, maybe a few thousand) Bigfoot left AND they are super sneaky.  How that plays into the sad possibility that they may be on the verge of extinction I don't know.  But, I think it's either that, or we are dealing with critters far beyond our current Scientific paradigms.  I'm currently about 50-50 between those two options.  The only thing I'm 99.9% sure of is that Bigfoot exist and that they have, and probably still do, walk on planet Earth.

      I want to throw out a random thought, a question I ponder now and then.    Are there a) lots of bigfoots but they are super sneaky or b) only a few bigfoots but they are fairly clumsy, inept at hiding, so those few are seen fairly frequently?    I mean, pretty simple logic .. either option produces a similar number of reports.    Since many reports occur in clusters / flurries, then there's nothing in that area again for years, maybe bigfoot is not so uncatchable after all, they're just even more rare than we give them credit for?   If they are traveling pretty fast that might account for the "report chasers" always being late, never finding a bigfoot when they arrive.   Dunno, just one of those mental tin cans I kick around when I have nothing useful to think about.

      Talked to the last land owner we worked for in Nespelem. He is of the Moses clan. I had rodeo’d in Nespelem in 89, and was asking about a kid that beat me chute dogging. He was first and I was second.   The conversation somehow got to him asking me if I believed in Bigfoot. I told him the snow track story at our ranch.   He told me that they were afraid after dark. And that one time they had found a Colt that had been ripped in half. Something had grabbed the hind legs and had just wishbone it in half.   He always got ansy hunting and shot something and while tracking it, it got dark.   The Bigfoot cutout on top of Disautel pass survived the fire. Amazing to me how people there have Bigfoot at the fore front of their minds much more so than a cross section of the white population.   Other than the tracks I observed? I was raised with both Colville and Spokane Indians and I am sure they have rubbed off on me.
