Looking back in time it almost seems like sasquatch activity is cyclical. What was going on in all those small towns in the 60s and 70s, was it just that the semi-rural areas of the country became more hospitable by that point of reforestation? Really seems odd that so many different small towns had those monsters just on the outskirts of town, and how often they were witnessed during that time. I wish mine were that dumb and aggressive, or maybe I don't but you probably get what I mean. I am getting almost interested enough again to record at night, mainly have not had time or energy, but with winter approaching I have more of both. My question on the home front is whether the activity I had between 2013-2016 but not since will return. Anyone with any experience?? Do they move the circle of activity around to not use up the resources, meaning a circle of activity might change its center point cyclically as well as those stops within the circle. It is a theory that seems to have some credence in the eyewitness reports, well at least the way I have read them. Some areas seem to have these couple of sightings every so many years, then nothing.

The terms being used in this thread are similar, but there is enough difference to note them: Migration Seasonal movements Cyclical A migration is a term most accurately used to describe a regular or biologically timed, long distance movement (hundreds or even thousands of miles) by herds/flocks/schools/tribes of creatures moving together. A seasonal movement most accurately describes a shorter distance movement of a species in a particular region motivated by climate or seasonal food availability. These movements tend to be under 100 miles. A cycle most accurately describes population swings covering a period of years caused by a number of biological effects on a species such as food availability, disease, climate, etc.

Indeed. The cadence may be shorter but I doubt it. And even though reports are all we have to go by it's better than speculating. John Green's database shows 70 reports of large females including one instance where there were two. Half are with large males along with smaller creatures. Oregon had the most reports with around 15. Overall the PacNW had the most which included WA, BC, CA, and ID which I guess we should expect? The database stopped being populated after it went digital and posted on the internet back in 2000. So the database became stagnant about 20 years ago. But I have always said that if creatures live to between 40-50 years old, then a lot of the reports should show juveniles and small ones that should be adults by now still be alive today. That's why paying attention to where small ones were reported may be valuable if the clans they belonged to are territorial.

Here's a follow up video he did. He talks about another incident and has been looking into the bigfoot phenomenon since his first video about it. Yeah, most people who hunt, live in rural areas or just spend a lot of time outdoors have a story or two they can tell. They don't know how to explain what happened. I fully understand because I was the same way. When I was about 16-17 years old I was out hunting, alone, sitting under a tree holding a 20 gauge shotgun waiting on rain to let up so I could proceed and was convinced someone was throwing rocks at me. They were just small stones. I kept hearing stuff hit the leaves around me and thought those must be some big rain drops, then I saw the rock bounce off my boot. That got my dander up because I thought someone was doing it. The woods were pretty clear where I was, no underbrush much or place for someone to hide. I jumped up and started walking around looking for someone, even saying "You hit me with one of those rocks again I'm going to start firing your way". I never saw anyone or figured out where someone could have been where I couldn't have seen them. I just chalked it up to maybe a bird dropped it or something. I had no idea at the time and didn't learn until years later about rock throwing by BF's. It was such a weird thing I always remembered it, still remember it clearly.
