All Activity

We will one day admit that the native Americans were correct in their assessment of Sasquatch as a great spirit of the forest, as we have already conceded that the tribal medicine man really did know which plants could cure an ailment. There is a reason that they remain elusive.

I like it. the volume of food matches what I found and I think that a group of bigfoot (adult male, adult female, one juvenile and maybe one infant) would similarly strip mine and area. That's why I think they then shift their habitat be 50-100 miles and start working a new region for a while. The only think I can think of that doesn't match is that you would expect farmers/ranchers/orchard operators to notice that much loss to animals.

I’m surprised in this day that so many today don’t understand or agree with management of our natural resources.

Hello Bigfoot Forum folks, I got this audio spiced together of four different time spans at the 2013 Teepee stick structure site, recorded on 4/10/2025 at 01:00pm I've always felt that this was the forest people clacking rocks together, but I want to hear what you all say about this. Thanks in advance for your input. rocks.mp4

Much obliged for the comments; to expound upon them, 1a) When I was looking up the other animals to educate myself, I was merely looking for a space for a similarly suited animal - i.e., a large omnivore. I also had a gorilla on the chart, chose black bear for this one fairly randomly. As to what Bigfoot is eating, approximately 180 reports out of slightly over 1200 indicate (or suggest) that the Bigfoot was foraging for food when encountered. The likely food includes the logical items - apples, berries, corn, 15 fine hens, chickens, cattle, dumpster diving, campsite raiding, and deer among others. 1b) I agree that Sasquatch have a daily range (how much they might move in one day) and a home range (how much they move about in one week, month, or year). I also agree that they don't stay in one place; the patterns I've seen when mapping encounters make me think of slash and burn farming rather than strict nomads, but that might be tomato/tomayto. 3) I'm not completely excluding any and all stick structures, nests, shelters, etc. I just think that mere existence of same =/= Sasquatch automatically. 5) (by my original count) 15 miles away and now 50 years ago. I would describe the area as more a massive peopled area with some forest in between, although I wholly agree with your observation that Sasquatch can move about in some areas easier than us. For example, I think even I could cammo up and on a decent night cover five miles in that area without being seen (barring FLIR, dogs, etc.), so I have no doubt that there could be one or two transients there.

Hi! I'm Harry from Northwestern, Washington. Ever since I moved here and started hiking over the last five years, I have been increasingly interested in Bigfoot sightings and stories. I want to connect with others and research more stories and sightings.

I grew up in the PNW. I vividly remember being a school kid from a medium sized city visiting a small logging community in the foothills of the Cascade mountains for a flag football game. This little town was extremely poor. Most of the homes looked like shacks and single wide trailer houses. However, the school was almost new. The kids had brand new uniforms. I would later learn that school provided breakfast, lunch, and a brown bag dinner was the norm in these logging communities. This was long before todays "free lunch" program. Why was the school the only modern, new, and fully functional community support system? Because timber revenues were mandated to the school systems within that county. I am a supporter of sustainable timber harvest for ALL forests. The trees, endangered species, forest critters, and wild hairy people will all be just fine. I also think this new rule shoots a hole in the old theory that forestry practices were shut down by the Feds to secretly protect what some folks call Bigfoot.

Here is my thought experiment on caloric intake some while back.

There is so much water here it probably wouldn’t hold anything long.

Those weren't dermal ridges that you saw. It's hard enough for dermal ridges to be imprinted on dirt and mud, so not all of the casts that are claimed to have them are actual dermal ridges. Plaster casts produces a lot of artifacts during the curing process. Therefore, careful examination of the casts is required for confirmation. But, when it comes to snow footprints, the chance of it having dermal ridges are 0% because it violates the laws of physics. Snow isn't fine enough to be able to pick up the ridges. But what makes it impossible is that the thin layer of the surface of the snow melts immediately on contact with the bottom of the foot. Those weren't dermal ridges that you saw.

Wow dude, amazing.

1. Because we don't know their diet, we can't infer their range. Using a bear is probably less accurate than using a silverback as an example. A silverback has a range of 15 square miles. By many accounts, Sasquatch may be double the size, so call it 30. However, I tend to think they are nomadic and don't stay in one place for too long. If you travel at night, along creeks and rivers, using forest as cover, you can get across massive parts of the US. We've heard many stories of seasonal activity in specific areas, so that lends credit to the nomadic theory. I don't think we should measure the likelihood of these creatures being in an area based on long term habitat viability. 2. Thank you for the background on the area. Makes me change my perspective here, slightly 3. Sure, kids can and do build this stuff. Human signs would be easy to spot. This might be human made, but there are many structures that people find far from the population needed to write this off as human, with size that generally excludes human as well. 4. 15 miles away is the closest report, which, if the nomadic theory is correct, is well within range. I've checked out the area on google earth and it seems to be a massive forested area, with some people sprinkled in here and there. Totally viable habitat for these creatures who don't know about part boundaries. I appreciate your post. Its nice to have a real post from someone who isn't rude and who is well thought out. Thank you.

shut up poopy head

But I am a mammal!

But Norseman, they taste like dinosaurs!

Norseman, here is some 'non-food' for thought. What about 'watering' them. The animals know the location and will keep returning. Water has zero calories, therefore is not food so you would not be 'feeding' them. I can understand the new regs for ungulates and CWD. Maintaining a watering hole would be a lot of work but you are just the guy.

Here are some reasons not to leap to the conclusion that a structure encountered in the woods = "Bigfoot." 1) The Great Hill Recreation Area, where this was filmed, is a postage-stamp sized park of 203 acres surrounded by suburbia and typical urban sprawl development. See https://www.trails.actonma.gov/great-hill/ size of the park and your map program of choice for a wider view of the area. 2) No one knows how how much range 1 Bigfoot needs to support itself, but an average New York black bear weighing from 160 to 300 lbs. needs 35 lbs of food per day to sustain itself. The average home range for black bears are 1-15 square miles (female) and 8-60 square miles (male) or 640 to 9600 acres for a female black bear. Thus, this park doesn't have the necessary area to support a (presumably) smaller animal. (I gathered this information some time ago from www.wikipedia.com and the links provided therein, and species-specific preservation/hunting websites; the entire chart of 13 large animals and human hunter/gatherers is uploaded somewhere on the forums.) 3) The branch structure looks to be only 20-30 yards of a trail (a blue trail marker is visible from 12:01 to 12:07, right before the camera pans to the left and first shows the branch structure, and again at 13:22. This is consistent with the Great Hill trail map, available at the website above. Even within the park, this is not a remote area. 4) Dead trees that fall between the forks of trees, like the ones that form the main supports on the right (looking at the mouth of the structure) are not that uncommon in nature. Kids (define loosely at 10-16 years old) making secret hideouts from their parents is also not unheard of. Its a great place to hangout and drink beers snuck out of the home frig or to neck (or so I've been told). This also could be a community hangout (again, look at the dense suburbs in the area) where people added to the "shelter" over time. 5) Setting aside the Hockamock swamp area to the southeast, this area of Massachusetts is a void as far as reported encounters go. There are 63 reported encounters in the state between 1861 and 2016 if you add up the reports from 9 different organizations/books/researchers.* Middlesex County, where this park is located, has zero reported encounters. The closest encounter to this park was in the 1960s, over 15 miles away. * Numbers subject to change as more research is done. Not claiming that this structure is natural. However, nothing supports bypassing more likely explanations (human action) to leap to the more unlikely explanation. That being said, nothing here should dissuade anyone from spending time in the woods and enjoying the fresh air and off chance that you'll encounter Bigfoot.

Bye!

You are, again, making false assumptions about my position. It is possible for the government to be devious while also not hiding anything on this particular topic. It is not a one or the other situation. You’re creating a false dichotomy. All of these countries that are at odds with each other have a global agreement to hide the existence of a giant ape? Seems unlikely.

So now you’re assuming the government is reasonable? Lets say that many of the 411 are missing because a 800 lbs ape man kidnapped them and ate them…and the government lied about their existence? You think that there may be some lawsuits there? Huntster always said that if they are some species of Homo? Are we gonna give them human rights? Are we gonna sign a treaty? Make a reservation? Maybe the government would rather skip all that and hope the problem fades away? Numerous reasons as to why they may want to hide its existence from the public and ridicule the witnesses. Sound familiar? Project Blue Book?

If you think I’m attacking people, you’re incredibly sensitive. Asking for proof of an absolute claim is not an attack.

with the way you attack people, nobody is going to give you a reason why they would cover it up. nobody wants to engage with you.
