      Excellent event report. I'm always impressed with your YouTube videos as well, Nathan. I appreciate the video.

      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.

      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.
