I believe that the limited like evidence can be safe food for inference, but not solid enough to establish behavior. In the two examples I used above (Sunnyslope and Bossburg), both were in mid-winter, both were in central or east Washington (on the east side of the Cascades, and thus not in the coast range), and both left a long trackway (miles). As Nathan correctly clarified about my post on sasquatches in the Coast Range moving towards beaches to utilize beach foods, this is not likely at all of sasquatches in mountain ranges east of the Coast Range, like the Rockies, Blues, Cascades (south of the Columbia River), Sierra Nevada, etc (although sightings and trackways found in California's Central Valley in winter even infers that they might migrate to the Coast Range from the Sierras, or vice versa, on occasion). Peter Byrne once found a trackway in snow. I forget where regionally. He followed them through difficult terrain for miles. I don't think he theorized a general direction or motivation for the travel. The most notable thing I remember about his account was, at one point, the tracks walked atop a large fallen log covered in snow, and then the track maker jumped several feet to another snow covered fallen log. He was impressed, writing that such a jump was not possible by a hoaxer. What I find disappointing about his account is that his report on it, from his personal experience, is recorded in one of his books, but otherwise is lost to a queryable database search so that it might be available to help alleviate one of your recognized disclaimers (small sample size).....................

Wild Humans (and Journalists) Running Wild
Trogluddite replied to Trogluddite's topic in More Historical Newspaper Archives
Kansas 1896, as published in the Fort Scott (KS) Daily Tribune and Fort Scott Daily Monitor on July 10, 1896. This appears to clearly be a human, but I wouldn't be surprised if a truncated form of this story shows up in a book or on a website and leaves out the part about "Bigfoot" wearing a straw hat and being tanned. (I have a good example of a book leaving out the smoking gun, but can't find it right now!) -
Illinois 1949 - The Gooseville Monster Hunt is Unsuccessful
Trogluddite posted a topic in More Historical Newspaper Archives
As demonstrated by these photos from the St. Louis (MO) Globe-Democrat on August 11, 1949, the hunt was large and used all of the latest technology. NOTE: I cut of the rest of the headline because the next column contained only unrelated news. -
Howling Terror at Mount St. Helens: A Soldier’s Encounter
BFFbot posted a topic in Bigfoot Society Podcast
What happens when campers, soldiers, and scouts all report the same chilling screams echoing through America's darkest forests — and they match the sound of Sasquatch? In this jaw-dropping episode of Bigfoot Society, we bring you a multi-witness collection of encounters from across the country — from the terrifying howls near Mount St. Helens that drove a veteran out of the woods, to a bridge-pounding monster in West Virginia, to glowing red eyes staring from the Oregon treeline. You’ll hear firsthand accounts from Red Bank, Prospect, and Creepy Mountain — stories that include thrown boulders, fleeing deer herds, strange vocalizations, and creatures too massive and quiet to be human. If you’ve ever doubted the reality of Sasquatch, this episode just might change your mind. 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?

Unless the “Bigfoot Calorie intake “ issue is used to capture (in body or film) bigfoot the issue is useless. It only matters if it leads to an encounter. Otherwise it doesn’t matter.

I don’t mind if people know where I was raised. Elk were not prevalent in the area when I was a child. They are more so now. If you follow the Columbia River south you run into the Palouse. Which is all farms and wheat. Doesn’t seem like a likely route for something seeking to remain hidden. The Columbia River also represents a pretty major obstacle. Singer bay which is above the tiny peninsula that looks like the coast of Washington state is 2 miles wide. There are narrower places to cross but then the current is much stronger typically. All I can say was the tracks were not meandering or in search of something. They came off the bank, hit the logging road we were on and was trucking with long clean strides. Even though the snow was deep and we were struggling.

Norse, can you give a general area (again, I know) as to where you saw those tracks? Nothing that would dox yourself, but some major landmark in the area? Any idea of what would be drawing a Bigfoot (or other large animal) south - farmland, elk migrating in that direction, getting to lower elevation? Just curious. Also, love your driveway (and the fact that I'm not the one who has to clear it in the winter!). Norse and Huntster, Is it safe to infer behavior from a limited number of trackways, no matter how long? Someone upthread mentioned meta-populations of animals that are well spread out and have wide home ranges (for lack of a better word). So even a long trackway of over a mile could be just a day trip to the grocery store for Bigfoot. It's not necessarily an indication that Bigfoot populations are making like snowbirds and heading south. In the northeast US and Canada, there are 51 reports from December, January, and February where the report either stated direction of travel or was detailed enough to allow a reasonable approximation of direction of travel.* Only 14 of those were traveling in some southerly direction; 25 were heading in a northerly direction. However, that doesn't tell the whole story. I crunched numbers that I had in 2017 and there was a visible southward movement (between 160 and 200 miles) in the number of reported encounters. * Normal disclaimers apply - small sample size, room for witness error, room for error in analysis, &c., &c., &c.

1967/10/26 - Newspaper Article - Patterson Statements to Reporters
Trogluddite posted a topic in Patterson-Gimlin Film Reference Materials
Published in the Redding (CA) Record Searchlight on October 26, 1967. This does not appear to be a mere wire service report, although its unclear whether a reporter for this paper was present at the press gaggle or is just repeating a story he read in another newspaper. This article is newsworthy as it quotes Roger as having sent the P-G film to "his hometown" for processing and as saying that he was thrown from his horse. - Yesterday

Great work Big Tex. Always enjoy all your amazing efforts in the field.

Very good learning tool but I disagree with his approach toward declination. "East is least and west is best" sounds simple but it adds an element of work in the field that, in my opinion, is totally unnecessary. Moreover, if a person is trouble, because they are injured or suffering from hypothermia, and not thinking correctly, they may add the declination rather than subtract it. Now, they will be far off course and that error may needlessly cost them their life. I always draw declination lines on my map in the confort of my home and before I ever go into the woods. That way, I can take readings on the fly without ever having to orient the map. The declination lines drawn in advance cure that problem. A few other issues can rear their ugly head in the field that cause taking a reading a challenge. How do you easily orient the map so when there is a torrential downpour? When you took a reading, were you sure there wasn't metallic substance in a rock just below the surface you laid the map that could affect the magnetic needle? With my approach, I can lay the map on an electromagnet and it doesn't matter. I'm no longer using the magnetic needle to take a reading. My approach allows you to take a reading the fly, in rain or snow. It doesn't matter, it is quick, and there is no stopping to orient the map. Here is the best information I've ever found that talks about navigation skills and terrain association and it demonstrates the map-marking technique I mentioned above: https://www.adkhighpeaksfoundation.org/adkhpf/navagation.php Here are two video that show the technique of drawing magnetic north lines on a map. The bottom one discsusses declination at length if you are so inclined: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpXibF_yK2c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peu7uMp0cVU Edited because I wanted to link a 2nd video by the same individual

3 Feet From a Sasquatch! - Bigfoot Eyewitness Episode 509
BFFbot posted a topic in Bigfoot Eyewitness Radio
8 years ago, Jack Adams and his wife, Becky, had an experience neither of them will ever forget, about 10 miles east of Ponca City, Oklahoma, at Jack’s father-in-law’s property. They didn’t see a Sasquatch that night, but it most likely was a Sasquatch. It would also seem that the experience they had was a prelude for what was to come. You see, Jack, his son, Jason, and Jason’s fiancé, Pierce, have all had class A Sasquatch sightings since the night Jack and Becky had their experience. We hope you’ll tune in and listen to them share their experiences. If you've had at least one Sasquatch sighting and would like to be a guest on the show, please go to BigfootEyewitness.com and let me know. I'd love to hear from you.

All of our assumptions about Bigfoot's diet are guesses. They are educated guesses, but they are guesses. Even if we knew for sure, is what Bigfoot eats universally true among all Bigfoot population? Then there is even the issue of how much Bigfoot eats. I doubt there are subclasses of Bigfoot since I don't think there are enough to have too many varieties of Bigfoot. Like most things Bigfoot I don't have anything to really prove that other than just assumptions. If there are very few, I would think whatever bigfoot's needs its nearly common among all of them (those few). If somehow there are many, there might be more variation in what they eat. That might be further affected by where they live. A Northern California Bigfoot might have different options and likes vs some Canadian bigfoot. If we see Bigfoot, then we know bigfoot had to get their food somewhere. I don't suspect Bigfoot hibernates. We do see instance tracks some find in the snow. Yet Bears hibernate and they leave snow tracks, don't they? All snows are not created equal, and some might be minor snows vs some deep long cold winters. This all means its maybe simple and complicated at the same time. There are just so many factors to consider. All living things eat, rest, reproduce, excrete waste, move, or whatever the common traits we all remember from high school biology class. My hope to nail down Bigfoot's diet. I don't say this because I want to feed Bigfoot. I just hope the knowledge will make it easier to capture or film a Bigfoot. Roger got lucky. I want to increase our luck.

Illinois 1949 - The Gooseville Monster Hunted by Posse - Tirademan!

Printed in The Sheboygan (WI) Press on August 09, 1949, this story also includes mention of a thunderbird seen in the area. The second story from that paper identified an Illinois state conservation supervisor who believed that the "monster" really existed. However, the signs are early on pointing to a bear. -

Yes, stream pathways that branch off are harder to access and have restrictions but I think equally important is the overwhelming record of sasquatch doing this activity at night. This reduces exposure and therefore sightings, what few are by the river are majority at night by campers or night fisherman on reservations. I do have several dusk vocalization events close to salmon pathways at dawn and dusk and one very up close sighting ( 20 feet under a high powered flashlight ) in the parking lot of salmon fishing area.

Read this section from the regulations, especially the highlighted part. Do you know anything at all about salmon .. salmon fishing, etc? The places most people fish for salmon are main stem rivers, water 5 feet to 30 feet deep, and often a couple hundred yards wide. As shown above we are not allowed to fish for them in the kinds of places a sasquatch might attempt to catch them .. the spawning areas. The bulk of those are in places quite inaccessible to humans. Not impossible, but difficult, and it is highly improbable that an average urban person is going there. There isn't the overlap between humans and salmon vulnerable to bigfoot predation that you seem to assume there is. The literature says they DO eat salmon. Consider the Olympic Project "nests" area. Little finger ridges in horribly dense huckleberry brush over spawning streams. Same thing occurs in the northern Oregon coast range based on reports I've taken and also in the mid and south coast areas. Or consider what David Paulides reports learning from the lower Klamath River tribal people regarding "things" stealing salmon from their nets at night.
