Given the location it is likely they are Evergreen Huckleberry. That's the same stuff I grew up hunting in near the Oregon coast. Unlike the huckleberries at higher elevation (2 different species, one red one blue), Evergreen Huckleberry bushes can exceed 10, sometimes 15 feet in height. The thicket above the location where I found that first trackway in '74 has three layers in it that bears travel along, one at ground level and two elevated. I've gone for a quarter mile without ever being less than 6 feet off the ground in some places. It slow going, somewhat like late season snow that's settled and hardened where you have to be careful about falling through into openings below that you can't climb back out of. MIB

If boy scouts had made them, they wouldn't be called nests. Shelter if it's covered or bed if it's not.

WA specific, might be useful for some however with summer coming - http://www.wta.org/go-hiking/seasonal-hikes/summer-destinations/huckleberry-hikes

http://ugallaprimateproject.com/projects/nesting Can we get off the nest term usage debate now?

Have you ever lived out of New York state? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_China Now tell me again how likely Chinese people are to lie to their government? Now then does that mean fake Yeren report can't happen. It can happen for the same reason all bigfoot things happen $$$$. Village/villager claims sighting attention and $$$ flows into town, Happens all the time. Bigfoot like creatures are impossible to prove or even disprove so faking a simple bigfoot report is about the safest thing a person and lie about. Can you come up with a single instance where the Russians and Chinese have arrested anyone on such hoaxing? You sure stepped in this one. China has banned April fools day with the threat of criminal prosecution yet you claim the government would be tolerant of hoaxing?. Three years in prison for even stating something untrue on the internet. I suggest you avoid travel to China. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/04/01/no-joke-april-fools-day-has-been-banned-in-china/ What does the Russian government have to do with the Yeren?

I think it's because they want to get all that they have together and present it as best they can. Must remember H that we are talking about volunteers with jobs and families, they can't just drop everything and get everything that they have together to present how they want at the drop of a hat just because the Bigfoot community is starved of anything and want it now, now, now. I'm under the impression that it's under ongoing investigation too. As far as the wait goes I have NO issues with waiting for the presentation itself. I understand that these things take time. But I would rather see case presented on their own website two days before the conference. I also understand though that some compensation and a wider public recognition for their efforts is also well deserved. I might add that my past comments regarding Sasquatch being masters of the slope. It would also seem my proposal of Sasquatch using slopes not just for evasion but for observation as well along with knowing the difficulty Humans and other animals have accessing them is being nicely upheld by the discovery. I would seem to be a fairly safe birthing place or nursery of sorts too. Now you're just moaning for the sake of moaning H.. I'm with you on the slopes/ridges thing too, although these specifically i'm of the impression weren't found at crazy high elevations, but just at a high elevation in that specific area, they were found at under 1,000ft. I've found trends in reports in this "general" area too that i thought were interesting. Here they are, focus on the green (Spring) and look at the difference of the bottom graphic compared to the rest when i haven't focused on State lines like in the others, but on specific areas and mileage radius' around them.

Oh yeah, lets just wait four more months for the sake of the conference. How much is always put on hold waiting for a conference to come around? What's up with that as if I didn't know. This is what I truly despise about this subject. It's not the subject of Sasquatch. Nuh-uh. It's those who hold out on the information in order to soak a few more bucks out of the community, sell a few more books and recast footprint molds. I apologize for my attitude about such matters but Don Keating has left me with a sour and bitter taste for this kind of transparent hookery. Since the Ohio Bigfoot Conference has just finished up I noticed James "Bobo" Fay wasn't a speaker after all. But Dr. Esteban Sarmiento was along with members of the Willow Creek movie cast. Him I like. The rest of 'em? Meh. Ah well....

You know how I know you don't know what word salad is? Exhibit A: Read any of our resident self-appointed scientist's postings.
