No, not necessarily. Superficially, perhaps, but I think .. reflecting more deliberately .. that we'd have to consider why humans "weave" and whether sasquatch shares that need. It comes down to biological need. Are they warm enough and dry enough without it? Bergmann's rule, covered with hair, etc. Just because WE might benefit from the additional warmth, wind resistance, etc from weaving does not mean they have the same need. Essentially we have an algebra problem of one equation and two unknowns ... not uniquely solvable, at least for now. My view: we need to be cautious about jumping to premature conclusions. I observe that people, having invested ego in a conclusion, have trouble backing away even when new data pretty clearly shows that they were wrong. I prefer to avoid that trap. If I had to guess, though ... we're looking at something that, because of better biological adaptation, lives in a more ape-like rather than stone age human-like, way, though it may match us for strategic thinking when such is required. The black and white / only this or only that thinking is befuddled when encountering something that is not merely ape but not fully human (considering both biology and genetics, and if you wish, tool use). They truly represent a shade of gray we struggle to get our heads around. MIB

Here is one which I've always been impressed with if you consider wood knocking in order to hunt - tool use. It was posted on BFF 1.0 by member Bigfootie back in July 2005. https://bigfootforums.com/topic/19119-i-saw-wood-knocking/?tab=comments#comment-303107

^Yup...an yup.

I think the ear of the deer is covering it. But it doesn't look like a BF to me. It looks like a long haired, bearded hippie...

^^^^ Yes. My personal "however", which only counts for me, is this: I've heard from some number of people who have been to the site, seen video of the site, seen video of the approach to the site. It would be very reasonable to deliberately exclude human hunters. You simply cannot move through that brush without noise that would scare game. It would be most effectively hunted from above via tree stands. An experienced hunter would not make nests and leave a bunch of human scent around if you were hunting there from a tree stand. From what I'm told, somewhat backed up by what I could see in video / images, it's not precisely a military layout either. It looks to me like a pecking-order layout oriented to salmon in the stream, the most probably food source. I don't know about this one specifically but most spawning areas are closed to fishing during spawning and spawning fish are not that desirable a food source for humans: I think it points "elsewhere" ... everything, taken on the whole, points towards bigfoot. That's just MY assessment, though.

Folks are just as likely to have an encounter doing little or nothing around camp so why not settle back and just enjoy being there. My own enjoyment was there long before Bigfoot ever entered the picture. Still is.

BRB, going to look for this on Google Earth... I think you're right. Actually, I suspect it is a setup, whatever it is has been placed there until the deer got used to it... likely even a bait station.
