      Haven't heard about that one ... and don't want to, unless a thread explodes and I just can't avoid it.         Out of those 1200+ reports, I only believe that 29 are "more likely than not" a Bigfoot encounter and another 161 or so could be a bona fide encounter.  As to bad data .... yikes.  Some "research organizations" would post an encounter if the witnesses heard it from their long dead great grandmother through a Ouija board.    The problem with data averaging is that its dependent upon both encounters, willingness to report it, and someone to take the report.  For example, Maryland encounters in the 1970s reported to John Green make it look like there are was a veritable Bigfoot reunion going on there.  Pennsylvania also had tons, but that's because each state had very active researchers.  Actually, the 70s (post P-G film) and the post Finding Bigfoot era are probably very similar.

      Mine as well; 5000 individuals, continent wide, max, and concentrated in the best black bear habitat. Thus, more sasquatches in the PNW and Canada, few to none in Kansas and west Texas.   It is now believed that the homo sapien species population dropped to a low of 1000-10,000 individuals @ 70,000 years ago. These creatures could easily be in such a situation.     I think they're much smarter, to the point of oral communication, rudimentary food storage, and more. There is something very significant to the kidnapping phenomenon that transcends the Primate order. We're into the Hominidae family.

      My personal opinion is there are far less out there than what people like to think.  I would also say there is a lot of bad data incorporated from databases of encounters these days, I would be interested to see a data averaging from the 60's up to say 2008 ( before Finding Bigfoot ). I think you would see a very different spread both across behaviors and clusters geographically on the map.    I do think the scenarios you lay out do in fact occur but just far less than reported.

      Well it certainly doesn’t bode well for the person in Illinois claiming a family of Sasquatch live on his 50 acre wood lot all year long.   But I don’t think they are that populous. And also that their activities probably fall through the cracks and are attributed to something else.   Lastly? If they are as smart as say an Orangutan? Orangutans pick locks, know sign language and can paddle a boat. Surely Sasquatch could be rather cunning. And they probably know that sustained contact with humans is unhealthy. So they stay nocturnal, take only what they need and keep moving.
