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.

You’re hard to pin down. But since we have established that Bigfoot doesn’t need to leave the forest to forage or graze it you like? They have 25 million acres to do it in, just in Washington and Oregon alone. And that’s not counting state land or timber company property. Just National Forest. Also we do have reports of them seen fishing. But salmon runs in the PAC NW are not what they used to be. Grand Coulee dam alone wiped out a large swath of salmon bearing streams and rivers. https://alaskabeacon.com/2025/08/19/salmon-extinction-in-motion-in-washingtons-and-oregons-snake-river/

I happen to know where that pic was taken. It (and other such waterfalls along the Alaska coast) are almost all now within either national parks or other classified areas with human behavior restrictions because brown bears congregate there. There are a few in southeast Alaska like that where black bears congregate, too, but mostly under the cover of thick vegetation. There are lots of rivers and creeks where bears fish. They might not do so in congregations like McNeil River or Brooks Camp, but they're there. One rarely sees them because they'll come out at night when we go to bed. I'm thankful for that. I let them have the night. I think sasquatches have creeks where they like to fish, but they're almost assuredly in locations devoid of man. I think they know the dangers of mankind, and their priority is to avoid us. They do so even better than the bears.

Published in the Oakland (CA) Tribune on January 05, 1936 and mentioned in the Forums at least once. However, the sighting is mistakenly dated to 1936 (the year of the newspaper article) when, in fact, it occurred in 1886.

Trick-or-treaters search for candy and Bigfoot this Halloween Monroe Evening NewsView the full article

Not really. I talked about the need to "graze" based on the limited diet would increase the need for Bigfoot to expand its food search area as a practical matter. Any time where Bigfoots needs can't be met locally it would force bigfoot to be on the move until its needs can be met. We don't know the specifics of those needs. "Grazing" as a concept means the active searching or Movement for food esp. plant foods. This doesn't mean we are talking about cows eating grass out in the open field in Nebraska. It's conceptual. It's simply a matter of degree. If we want to say Bigfoot eats fish (and I imagine they do) I do have to wonder, why they are not spotted around salmon streams on a regular basis. Other than small numbers of bigfoot in existence, I can't think of any other major reason. There are plenty of food available for the taking. Stuff grows IN the Forrest for anyone who hasn't been made aware. Since most issues of Bigfoot are conceptual (since we don't have a body on a slab to study) BFF postings on the issues are meant to be conceptual. If what Bigfoot needs is close by, bigfoot is likely to stay close by. If not, Bigfoot would have to be on the move. If Bigfoot's has a very limited diet, Bigfoot has fewer options to fulfill that diet. If Bigfoots diet is more flexible it should be easier to meet it's food needs. It's well and good if there are berries and mushrooms available. This assumes Bigfoot would eat them and can eat them. If not, it's useless to the direct needs of bigfoot.

^Good example, and yes lots of reports from pickers of all kinds. BTW, there's plenty to learn about behaviors from select podcasts. I recently listened to an interesting report from a mushroom picker who was picking to make money, and had hired a whole crew to help. They got an aggressive confrontation in which the man's dog tried to attack and was killed by the big guy. I got the impression that the people had really messed up by overharvesting. That one starts about 50:00 in the first video. The second one I haven't entirely listened to but the title is on-topic.

You talked about Bigfoot needing to leave cover and be out in the open to forage. That’s a false assumption. I have picked huckleberries under a lodgepole pine canopy in Ferry county. Stuff grows IN the forest. That’s my statement. And yes? There are plenty of reports of berry pickers encountering Bigfoot. And yes there is a seasonality to it. https://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=20802

They do. Just not as often as we'd like. This is partially because there are very few sasquatches and the sasquatches have taken up nocturnal or other behaviors to minimize contact. For example, bear encounters in berry patches occur in Alaska, but not nearly as often as they could, considering there are @ 140K bears, less than 1 million people, and an area over twice the size of Texas involved..............as well as the fact that people don't pick berries for a good 16 hours of the day.

Shouldn't these human mushroom pickers encounter Bigfoot doing the same thing? That's my point. My issue isn't Bigfoot failing to eat these things. If Bigfoot was exclusively limited in the diet, shouldn't we expect the see Bigfoot out there hunting seasonal berries or mushrooms right along with the people as a regular occurrence? Here in Iowa (and I don't pretend to know the PNW) mushrooming is done every late spring. It's seasonal. If we happen ot have Bigfoot here AND if Bigfoot has a diet high in these mushrooms due to its limited diet, we should have common bigfoot sightings during this time? I am thinking Bigfoot diet is a diverse diet based on whatever happens to be around him. Bigfoot is a big engine to feed.

I remember the story! Cliff has them on his website. https://cliffbarackman.com/home/projects/footprint-database/database-contents/2005-priest-river-id/ I still say a snow bike has the potential to follow a snow trackway to its conclusion. And if we don’t want to kill it? Then a crossbow with a biopsy dart is the next best thing.

Berries and mushrooms grow in the forest. Think about human mushroom and berry pickers heading up into the mountains to harvest them and encounter Bears doing the same thing. It’s not a higher risk for Bigfoot either.

We've had a fair amount of rain, especially the horrible flooding in July.....not used to finding so many interesting prints, still have a bunch to post from the last several months, the last one is an oldie in Limestone. Some of the pics have multiple prints & sizes.
