Beautiful country. It reminds me of the Alberta side of the Rocky Mountains.

Glacier and Koocanusa lake   Mothers day trip before the big surgery. Rexford boat lanuch with Bull pine and daisies looks identical to home.

Logging and burns are good for ungulate populations. Creating browse for Moose, Elk and Deer.   If Bigfoot hunts ungulates? Then it would benefit them as well.    These elk are hanging out in a burn area a couple of weeks ago in the CDA Nat Forest.

The feds replant, and so do timber companies.   There is a push to bring back white pine to Idaho. Their state tree.

People will debate the best way is to handle forest management.    I want to pivot to the idea of What effect increased forest management activity might have on potential bigfoot sightings?   We know in Bluff Creek in 1967 the area of the creek bed was swept open from a previous flood pre-1967   This made it easier to have the PGF encounter.  The result was a more open space than what might have been had the flood not happened.  Harder to Bigfoot to hide if he/she wanted to eat fish or take a drink.  Nature has started long ago to reclaim the PGF area to somewhat of a Pre-flood status.              Logging crew and forest activity will have some effect on a bigfoot sightings because it some unknown way it will effect Bigfoot behavior.   Maybe migration pattern changes.   Maybe the activity creates fear driving animals away but it could just as easily cause short term curiosity attracting animals or Bigfoot.    I am assuming that effect would drive Bigfoot away from the activity.  I have absolutely no way to prove this.  We know when mankind builds into the outskirts of the town they start to have encounters with animals who might have been living there.   In some case this results in wild animals who would normally live in the woods quietly to go through your trash.   I don't know if Bigfoot is attracted to any old pizza boxes or thrown away left overs, but if that is the case, it doesn't seem to create Bigfoot sightings around the trash like it does Bear sightings.     I wonder if in the short term activity in the forest creates some draw from Bigfoot to the area.   We could even imagine the logging crews of Lyle Loverty could have actually attracted Patty to the area.   My guess it the result would be to repel Bigfoot.     With this new proposed forest activity, we are going to find out.
