Cannibalism proof is almost 1.5 million years old from Spain. https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/scientists-discover-what-could-be-the-oldest-evidence-of-cannibalism-among-ancient-human-relatives Technically with Sasquatch not being a Homo Sapien? It’s not cannibalism. But primates do eat other primates. 1) Incorrigible touched on Chimps eating human babies. But they also actively hunt monkeys. 2) There was a giant baboon (I posted a link in the campfire section) that was a predator of human ancestors. 3) The hobbit on the island of Flores was reported to steal human babies to eat. If Sasquatch is strictly a plant eater like a Gorilla? Then we are probably safe other than some territorial or defensive response. But if Sasquatch scavenges meat? Or actively hunts? All bets are off. It may be triggered by the circumstance like being alone, hurt, etc. So it may be rare? But not wise to discount. I think everyone knows how I feel about the 411 books. So I won’t start a fight here about it. But it’s my personal opinion that yes it does happen and it’s logical to think that it does. A 800 lbs boss of the woods isn’t going to ask for permission for much. And just like Timothy Treadwell? After 8 seasons of a death wish? Enter one old male Griz that wasn’t having a good fishing season. And that’s where it ended. Modern humans every time we get hungry we go open the fridge. If it’s empty we go to the store. We are very very far removed from the “eat or be eaten” paradigm that Mother Nature operates. And this also probably why most Bigfooters see Bigfoot as some Forest Shaman. Just as Timothy Treadwell thought that Bears were just big teddy bears. Well….that worked until it didn’t. As a woodsman since I was a child? The biggest piece of advice I can give anyone? Animals are individuals, just like us. They have likes and dislikes and dispositions, just like us. Yes you can generalize and say most of the time in this situation the creature will do X or Y. But you dang well be ready for the curve ball. Ask Timothy Treadwell. Ask rodeo fans why there is a bull in the bleachers. Ask Steve Irwin. Ask the tourists in Yellowstone. Be safe folks!

The forest needs to be logged. That’s why forest fires are so bad in the west. But fires don’t respect property lines and that’s how forest fires enter towns and burn them to the ground. In Washington state if you clear cut you must replant. I just bought a logging permit for my ranch. But at least here the forest does a great job of reseeding itself. The grand fir saplings are over taking my ditches along my drive way. I need to get my excavator over here to kill them. With them in the ditch it’s harder to push the snow off the 3/4 mile driveway. Both forest fires and clear cuts are great for ungulates. The new foliage is tender and green and Elk, Moose and Deer love it.

Published in The Ipswich (Suffolk, England) Journal on April 02, 1726, this article contains the story of the original capture of Peter the wild boy. Interesting comment on the hair on his body.

I'll add another layer of complexity to this. If Bigfoot are a real species, they could exist as a meta-population. As a meta-population they live in small, mostly isolated groups distributed over patches of forest areas. These groups are highly mobile, moving among these forest patches (across hundreds of miles) and occasionally running into other groups for breeding. In the case of Bigfoot, they may even exchange information in some way — for example, avoid that forest to the south because deer are sick or the water is bad or the BFRO is there or whatever. This isn't a new theory. I got the idea from a 2006 article on the Indian Gray Wolf, but the concept is frequently employed in ecology. Meta-population view of Bigfoot would explain: Sightings in non-remote places and roadsides Low inbreeding despite living in small groups Sightings in areas that may lack sufficient resources to survive over long periods Bigfoot sometimes reported taking farm animals (as they move between habitats) Overestimation of pop size, as the same animal is witnessed in widely different places near the same time Not seeing a Bigfoot when visiting a place where one or more were recently witnessed A meta-population of Bigfoot will likely be affected by the USDA removing 112 million acres of forests… which is equivalent to 175,000 sq miles, which is more than the size of California. Certainly this would not happen in one place, but it's likely that each forest management area will be reduced significantly enough to affect wildlife cover and food sources. I doubt this would be a thinning out of a forest, because that’s just not cost effective. It’ll be large swaths of biodiverse forest areas, and replanting will either not happen or will lack in plant diversity and become dead spots for wildlife. I’m not a hunter or camper but this is my main concern about this USDA initiative. Maybe someone with forest experience on BFF has a more optimistic assessment and can relieve my anxiety (or link me to a post in that other thread). Oh, and for any conspiracy theorists, perhaps the national forest system was created originally to support a meta-population of Bigfoot. An argument could be made, actually.

Modern Homo sapien cannibalism is a well studied phenomenon, even if those studies are often ignored and played down because it's such a taboo topic. And example would be cannibalism among Japanese soldiers in the Pacific Theater of WWII. The point here is that in modern cases of cannibalism, many feature spiritual motivations where the eater is trying to consume the spirit or power of the meal. The modern cases involving starvation tend to be situations like the one in your posted photo of the crashed airplane in South America or shipwrecked people floating for weeks at sea. We don't see communities doing this because we now have communications and social assistance programs, but that really has a relatively short, weak history. Even Alaska, a U.S. state for the past 65 years, has a history within living memory of community starvation and disease. While I believe sasquatches are a human species, I have a difficult time accepting that they've become spiritual or religious. Homo sapien bodies are meat. But I do believe that they understand that killing people bring more people looking for the missing. This is likely because it's a long pattern with indigenous men. I don't think sasquatches hunt men for that very reason.

There are gruesome reports of chimpanzees abducting and consuming human children in various parts of Africa. I chose to not include links, due to their grisly nature, but they're readily available.

The Starving Bigfoot? I can’t think of a scenario where Bigfoot would be in a position where its normal food supply was absent. Then if so, that same Bigfoot would need to come upon a human, have cause to kill it, and then eat it. Sure I can see a Bigfoot or about any animal attacking in certain situations. ( protecting their young,, during mating season if one exists). Apart from that, I cant see Bigfoot taking that extra leap and eating a person. Starving people and animals will eventually try to eat anything. But that would require Bigfoot being so devoid of other food sources, so limited on mobility, and a human coming right in to their radius. That’s a lot of IFs happening to a near extinct animal. Are there common cases of known primates eating people? Attacking people for various motivations, yes. But eating them? if someone is lost in the woods and is killed or eaten it would be done by the more common animals in the woods. If there was Bigfoot out there Bigfoot would more likely eat what’s available including many other insects or squirrels or berries or whatever. If injury made this impossible it would be too injured to chase down and kill a person. Even if I was killed for stumbling across Bigfoot in the woods, Bigfoot would leave me there dead. Within days other animals would work on the body and Bigfoot would be miles away moving on to Bigfoot things. Sure I was killed in the woods by something. But I was not eaten by Bigfoot. .

The Minneapolis (MN) Star's reporter Jim Klobuchar led an expedition to the Bluff Creek area to determine if Bigfoots really exist; his paper ran their first report on the expedition on April 22, 1968. (NOTE: I did not include the picture of Jim McClarin's statue because it was very dark and lacked detail.)

Served with borscht?🤣

In America, we have the right to bear arms. In Russia, they have the right to the entire bear.

Sasquatch are smart beings. Presumably, they understand that people going missing causes a response in terms of search and rescue and more humans. I assume eating a human happens as a last option, if at all. Have we found any/many human remains that would indicate predation by a Sasquatch?

Published in the Red Bluff (CA) Tehama County Daily News on April 08, 1968. Always interesting to compare early takes on Bigfoot with the current views.

If I ever heal up? I think a snow bike would be an amazing research tool. We obviously cannot keep up on foot. But a snow trackway being followed on a snow bike is sure to produce results. You cannot go straight up the mountain like a sled, but you can finesse your way through almost anything. They are dropping into creek bottoms I would never consider with a sled. Throw a drone in a backpack? I don’t think Sasquatch escapes without being seen, filmed, whatever. These things go any where.

Dusty Ruth is the leader of BFRO expeditions in Ohio. He’s also an investigator for the Northern Kentucky Bigfoot Research Group. As you can imagine, Dusty has spent untold hours in the field, on Sasquatch investigations. Of all the experiences he’s had, in the field, the 3 sightings he’s had are, understandably, the most memorable ones. Dusty had his first sighting in 2019, while he was on an outing with the BFRO, in Ohio. That sighting was the first of two sightings he’s had through a thermal vision device, at night. After he had those two sightings, he had a daytime sighting. When he had that daytime sighting, he saw the Sasquatch without the help of any technology. He saw it with his unaided eyes. We hope you’ll tune into tonight’s show and listen to Dusty share the details behind all 3 of those sightings he’s had. If you’d like to report a Sasquatch sighting you had in Ohio or Northern Kentucky to Dusty or go out on an expedition with him, please send Dusty an email at DustyRuth1@gMail.com If you’d like to help support the show, by buying your own Bigfoot Eyewitness t-shirt or sweatshirt, please visit the Bigfoot Eyewitness Show Store, by going to https://Dogman-Encounters.MyShopify.com I produce 4 other shows that are available on your favorite podcast app. If you haven't checked them out, here are links to all 4 channels on the Spreaker App...

I have seen no convincing data to suggest they as a population go all the way to the coast here in the PNW, I do find good data to suggest they come down in elevation. We have had activity in December, January, February, March and April here at various locations in WA. The below video is a fair example ( I personally went to this location a few years ago based on a number of winter reports including this track find, I was able to get in touch with the investigator who was on the scene at the time. ), the tracks came from up above ( small knobs and benches on the slope side at about 2200ft on the high end ) on the west side of Shannon Lake and Baker Lake that are both loaded with miles and miles of thick/marshy timber patches that are tough to hunt and penetrate. They came from the timber uphill and both jumped off a rock ledge over 12 feet up to get down to the edge of that community, they crossed the road and went up onto someone's porch and got into a charcoal grill likely out of desperation looking for food ( fat drippings ? ). I don't remember at the moment where they retreated to but it was generally back into timber up slope. Here is a side angle photo of the terrain and direction the prints came from, everything below the blue line would all be winter habitat under my theory. This would not encompass the entire space they use but rather a section of the loop or cycle they likely run along. The Gold pin in the back end of the photo is separate encounter report from years later in late November. For full context and accuracy I will note that this trackway from what we could gather is legitimate but after the investigation, word got around the community and someone got back in touch and with another trackway soon after and that trackway was clearly hoaxed and fabricated, the prints looked nothing like the original tracks and showed no dexterity of the foot or toes, lacked any of the athleticism and started in stopped at highly questionable places. They seem to hold up in very difficult and hard to access locations and move in changing weather conditions from one low human activity area to another.

In both the Sunnyslope trackway find in 2017 and the Bossburg cripple trackway of 1969 the trackways were headed northwards. If the creatures are in the coast range (which is almost certainly higher population densities and better range), I'm pretty confident they head for the coast to forage for the winter. Primary seasonal movements would be up and down in elevation. Farther inland, I believe densities are lower and movements would still be primarily up and down in elevation.

It’s always this time of year that I wonder what they do in winter. We get typically four feet of snow here in the valleys. Do they migrate to the coast? Do they stockpile and hunker down? Do they migrate south? Do they retreat down low in elevation and hunt? I saw tracks in December. Those tracks were heading south for whatever that means.

The amount of Bigfoot's calorie needs is important. I still think where Bigfoot can find those calories is more important. As long as Bigfoot's needs could easily be filled by everything around him the food issue isn't a big deal. Readily available calories = More likely Bigfoot could exist (and thrive) Hard to come by food sources = Bigfoot unlikely to exist (or will soon be extinct) I love the line of thinking on this thread. When I dig further it makes me wonder how much of certain things Bigfoot (or Bear Grylls) would need to survive. How many bugs, crickets, grubs and so on would be filling? Sure, a few might meet the needs of certain vitamins where the remaining calories could be made up from more basic stuff. I would think you would need a giant bucket of crickets to survive. A few grubs or worms won't do beyond being an important side dish. The most likely source from something big and hungry to me would be fish and other creepy crawlys in a stream. A few would fill ya up.
