My thought and it seems most everyone disagrees but I think they mate for life so travel is only based on food sources , weather and pressure from humans. I think they have a very intimate social structure .

Sixty years ago deer were so scarce in the Arkansas portion of the Ouachita Mountains the 20 or so members of our deer camp were lucky to even see one all week. The original wild turkeys were nearly extinct. Bear also. Bigfoot were very, very seldom mentioned, much less seen or heard. Feral hogs had been killed out by the local residents. Now, thanks to restocking programs, deer, bear and turkey are numerous. Feral hogs have literally invaded the area, and done sickening damage to the ground nesting game birds' and nightjar's populations. When the game returned, Bigfoot did also. It is not at all unusual to listen at various places at about "dark thirty" and hear the males calling from different locations. It was at about this time that a few red wolves returned, and the coyotes, roadrunners and armadillos moved in from Texas. It was very rare to see those species in central Arkansas up until the early 50's. Some of the male Bigfoot may have moved away from the Ouachitas to find a mate, but if they did, they must have brought her back to live in Mom and Dad's "basement".

Especially when half the people in the woods looking are BFRO types that do those things themselves. My first footprint did not last 30 minutes. 4 adult humans walked on it and not one noticed it. In doing so they destroyed the print. I would think part of the problem in the Eastern states with finding evidence is the sheer number of humans in the woods. Not only does that make BF more reclusive but evidence like footprints will not last long. In my experience the best chance of finding anything is go to places where you do not see another human all day. That is hard to do in many parts of the country.

Or, just for the sake of argument, you're not nearly as skilled at recognizing sign as you give yourself credit for and it's been right under your nose all along. There's a learning curve. Nobody starts at the top. People who assume they do never get there at all. Rather than learn to see for themselves they dismiss what others have learned to see. MIB
